I Graduated!

Today, at 12w6d, I FINALLY graduated from my RE. It was bittersweet. I have been going there for over a year so I had grown quite attached to everyone there and knew that I was in great hands. Plus I didn't mind the weekly ultrasounds to see the baby:) I was a little sad that the office I usually go to is closed this week for the holidays, so I had to go to a different one. The girls from my usual office sent a little goodbye note with my chart, so that was really sweet and made me cry. So everything looked great with the baby and now I am just excited to be considered a "normal" pregnant person! Next ultrasound is with the ob on January 11th. He says we'll be able to determine the sex at that time, but it seems super early. We'll see!

This week has been crazy. The day after Christmas, I came down with a nasty stomach bug and was out of commission for 3 days. Having the stomach flu is never fun, but I'm pretty sure it's worse when pregnant. I wasn't able to eat anything for two days and only a small amount on the third day but did my best to stay hydrated for the baby. I was sad that I completely lost the little belly that I had forming, but have no fear - it's back. With a vengeance, lol!
