I have an appt. today for my 18 week ultrasound and I have a lot of different things on my mind. I’m excited and nervous about it…excited because I will know what I’m having and I can start buying things…excited because Adam’s going with me (it’s the 2nd one he’s been to with me - he asks me each time if I want him to come and honestly I didn’t think the other times were that big of a deal - turns out they were - I had an ultrasound to determine the due date and at the last one I was able to hear the baby’s heartbeat).

On the other hand, I’m nervous because of the things that the 18 week ultrasound can show. I’m a positive person, so I know everything’s going to be OK, but I still read things and that puts doubts in my mind.

Wow. 8 weeks pregnant.

Due date: April 2, 2011

I guess I have what is called the morning sickness “hunger”. I feel sick, or hungry…I’m not sure, but when I haven’t eaten, I get dizzy and light-headed, so I eat. A lot. I eat, so I don’t get sick, and it seems to help a little. Some days are better than others. I didn’t think my cravings would hit this soon, but I know that I think about popcorn, pickles, and ice cream. All. The. Time. I’ve gained some weight, just not sure how much. I’m really ready for the second trimester to get here so I can get back to feeling a little less sicky/hungry!
