8 weeks 1 day. Doctors appointments

I finally found a hospital that I want to go to I will be seeing an OB at the Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin. It is about 10 to 15 minutes from my house which is very convenient for the day I am in labor. They have so many OB/GYN's to choose from and they were able to get me in right away. I called Monday and already this Friday I am going in for blood work and urine samples. October 26th which is also a Friday I am going in to meet with Dawn on of the nurses for a routine checkup and listening to the heartbeat for the first time. Then on Friday November 2nd Tony and I are going in for our first ultrasound.

I am so excited for the ultrasound and heartbeat appointments. I have been feeling my pregnancy for a while now and I think these appointments will give Tony something to make everything feel a little more real to him.  Once he can hear and see our baby I think he will definitely feel more involved. I am also thrilled to be going to a doctor because I need some sort of nausea medication. My morning sickness is getting worse to the point where I threw up so hard there was a little blood at the end. I'm not too worried about that though. I looked up possible causes of that on the internet and everything I could find says that once I threw up all of the acid that was in my stomach, there was nothing left to protect it so my raw stomach bled a little bit towards the end. I do know for sure that I am sick of being sick it hurts to throw up my body uses so much force that I am exhausted by the time I am done.

Anyway I have also been working on our baby registry. This is where being a nanny for several babies in the past has prepared me for what we will need. If anyone out there has any suggestions for things they think I should add to the registry here is a link. http://www.target.com/RegistryGiftGiverCmd?isPreview=false&status=completePageLink&listId=QiszL2jxMwIyOiVewok92Q&registryType=BB&cumulativeTime=-1&isAjax=false&noOfPings=
