Our Peanut!

So last Friday was the day when we got a first glimpse at our little Peanut. I had my first OB appointment scheduled with a ultrasound. It was very exciting for the both of us. We got to the appointment and started with the ultrasound. The technician was able to locate the little guy and even show us his little heart beating. The only bummer was she was unable to pick up the sound of his heart beating. So what does that mean? Well according to measurements, we weren't as far along as we thought we were. If you calculate by my last menstrual cycle, I should have been 6 weeks 5 days. But by measurements I was only 5 weeks 6 days. So, Dr. Bernick did not complete our first OB appointment and rescheduled me for another ultrasound and for my first OB appointment this Friday. So I get to see our little peanut again!

Our Little Peanut

I know it doesn't look like much, but I am so in love already. I feel like this year has just passed us by in a world wind. But now, now that I am so impatiently waiting for this little fella to grow and develop and become our pride and joy, the time feels as if it has stood still. I am so excited and still praying everyday that things work out well and continue to grow and develop as normal.

Things on the home front have not changed much. Beni is almost done with his summer job and will soon be heading back to school. He has had to put up with my crazy emotional mood swings here lately. One minute I am happy as a pig in poo and then the other minute I am crying hysterically cause my back hurts. HAHA Poor Munchie. (My nickname for Beni).

Mood Swing Funny Story: Beni asked me on a Friday night what I was cooking for dinner, it was already 8pm. I said... nothing. I can make you a grilled cheese. He replied, "Uh, you never cook anymore! The last time you actually cooked was like 3 weeks ago!" This ticked me off. So because I wanted to please Beni, I went to the store the next day while he was at work and bought Salmon burgers to cook for dinner. I had planned to pair it with a sweet potato and spinach! YUMM. Well when Beni arrived home at around 6 pm I asked if he was hungry because I was making dinner. His reply, "Nah, I'm not that hungry. I had a late lunch, I'll probably just have cereal." WHAT!!!!!!! Now normally I might become a little peeved, but in that moment I flew off the handle. Beni could not understand why I was so upset about him not wanting dinner. In his eyes, I got of the hook because I didn't have to cook. Well, then he went to go take a shower while I pouted on the sofa. When he returned, he asked what was wrong and I broke down in an emotional fit of tears and hysterics and cried cause I didn't want him to leave the next evening for his 3 days he works in Miami.

What kind of crazy is that? This has really only happened like 2 times, but gosh for Beni's sake I hope it doesn't happen anymore. The overwhelming amount of emotions you receive from these hormones can take a toll.

Other than that, I have really had no issues. If I didn't know I was pregnant then I probably wouldn't think I was any different. I have only experienced a bit of indigestion and a complete disgust for certain meats. Other than that, this week is a great one!

Thanks for reading, more to come this Friday!
