7 weeks 1 day

I know I know, it seems like I'm going backwards in the pregnancy. Let me back up a bit....

We had the ultrasound on Monday. It was great! We saw a baby-like shape, and a heartbeat!! It was sooo exciting! We've never gotten to this point, so it was neat for both of us. I was measuring 6 weeks, 5 days on Monday, which puts my official due date at November 18th! So I have to move everything back and I'll get to be 8 weeks pregnant twice! lol. The crappy part is I won't see or hear anything for 5 more weeks until I'm in my 12th week. That's a long time. I made all of my initial appointments, 3 in 5 weeks. I have the nurse next week, the midwife the week after, and the OB two weeks after that! Hopefully, I'll be able to just go to once every 4 weeks once these are done. We got pictures, which we've shown my parents, brother and soon-to-be sister-in-law. I sent a copy of the pictures to Jake's mom, who should get them probably today. I will post them once we can find a way to scan them in, since our scanner doesn't work.

For symptoms this week, I'm just extremely tired early, getting up in the middle of the night to pee and not being able to fall back to sleep stinks! My vision seems to be getting a bit worse too, at least when I'm driving and at night. My mom's got better when she was pregnant, but knowing my luck mine will get worse. I think I will start taking belly pics next week, just can't seem to motivate myself to get in front of a camera! I have also found this little survey that I think I will do every week.
