Boy the weeks go by fast!!! On Sunday we will be in week 10!!! Its been a pretty good week. Not too much going on. The morning (all day) sickness is still here. I do have better days than others, but it seems to rely on how much sleep I get that night. I still have a hard time sleeping even with my new pillow. I think its time for us to look at getting another bed. We are due and really have just been putting it off. This weekend we will once again be starting our Fantasy football. Its a really fun league with friends. We are also excited to watch Notre Dame play Jess' alma mater!!! Yep, hopefully Notre Dame will kick SDSU's butt!!!!! Our friend Connie will also be coming to spend the weekend with us since its a long weekend. We did go to the Dr. yesterday. It was both a sad and happy day. We have now graduated to seeing our regular obgyn. So, sadly we had to say goodbye to all the people at Dr. Servy's. The good news is that we got to see the baby move this week. The baby certainly does not like to be poked, each time Dr. Servy moved the wand the baby moved!!! The heartbeat was up around 170, so all in all things look great! Jess is now off almost all of her meds. She just had one more to finish out and then we are done with those. We go to see the obgyn on Sept 12th. So, another two week wait!

Hey there!!!!! We are now into week 9! Last week went well, still feeling sick and smells are really getting to me now! My gag reflex is really bad. I have found that I cannot be anywhere near coffee! Sad for tim cause now he has to hide the coffee that he drinks. Being no surprise to anyone I can still eat potatoes!!!!! I went out and bought a special pillow to help me sleep at night and I am glad to say that I am getting much more sleep than I was last week! As for the home life there is not much else going on. School is good, we have a good class this year. Tim is still working hard. Oh, I did have some wonderful people send me some books to help me through the pregnancy! Thank you they are wonderful! Well, I go back to the Dr. this thursday so we will see how things go... until then here is what the baby is doing this week: They well have most of their organs in place and start growing genitalia. Look back Friday for an update on the appointment!!!

Back on track! Man what a week. Its going to take me awhile to get back into school. I was so tired after work that I came home and slept, ate dinner, and then went back to bed. I haven't been sleeping real well so that doesn't help either. I spent the entire weekend sleeping. Tim and I did go for a walk on Sat and Sun but not much else. Well, tim worked in the yard, while I caught up on some sleep. I went back to the dr. this past thursday and everything still looks good! I am now off my progesterone, but still am on the estrogen patches and the prometrium. I have now graduated to going every two weeks to the dr.!!!! Soon, I think I will be released to my regular obgyn. Baby news for the 8th week of pregnancy: the baby will grow eyes, hands and feet this week!!!!!

Friday Aug 8th

well another week has passed and we are glad its done!!! I have been working a whole lot this week to get my room ready for school on monday! I will be glad to get back into the groove of school where it won't be so hectic. Tim is doing good, work a usual. Although its a change for him to have to change diets. He is now on the Jessica diet!!! Yep, he tries to let me decide since I am the one with all the cravings. Unfortunately I am into really bland foods right now. Anything with a strong flavor is out for me! Its to the point where I don't even want a burrito!!!! Me without Mexican food??? Unbelievable. Pregnancy update for this week. Well on Thursday we went in for our first sonogram. Tim and I are excited to say that we have one perfect little bean!!!! Yep, they only saw one baby. We are so happy with that. We would be happy with any number we had. It was really neat to see and hear the heart beat of the baby as well! It looked like a little blinking lentil bean! The heart rate was at 125. So, the doc said we are doing just fine. We go back next thursday for another visit with Dr. Servy.

Friday Aug 1st

Well, Today signifies the last day of Summer for me!!!! There is still 1 week of summer left but that will be spent putting the room together for pre- k. So, in order to get everything together for our open house next Friday I will have to work on Sat and Sun this weekend. Other than that not much else to report Tim found out that he will be going on tdy in Sept. I also want to send out a big congrats to my mom since today is her last day of work!!!! Well done mom!!! I hope retirement is all you thought it would be! You have earned it! Now on to pregnancy news for this week : Not too much has changed. On Wednesday I started having a little nausea and it has been with me since. No throwing up yet just feel yuck. I went to see Dr. Servy on Thursday for more blood work. They told me that everything was excellent! All my levels were great. I think my beta levels were up at 15,000. I know that number is good, but I don't know if it really means anything else. We have our first ultrasound on Thursday Aug 7th. So now we are back to the 1 week waiting game. Although with school starting I think it will go very fast.
