First Ultrasound

We had an ultrasound yesterday with our amazing ex fertility specialist!  She squeazed us in because she's amazing!  I feel so much better too. Baby looks good!  Measuring about 8 weeks and 3 days!  Heartbeat sounded good as well. I'm so relieved!  I was so scared that it was all too good to be true. I worried about ectopic. Or that there would be nothing in the sac. But all is well.  I'm still nervous...but until we hit the week of viability, I probably will be. And probably even after that. Our appointment with our OB is next week so I will know a bit more about our game plan then.  But for now, I can breathe a little bit.

My symptoms are much more mild this time around. Or maybe I just know how to deal with them better. I'm still nauseous in the morning. I'm getting the occasional heartburn. But the worst symptom is definitely fatigue.  But I know it goes away in the 2nd trimester so I'll just ride it out and try to push through as much as I can.  It seems like if I keep snacks handy, I can stay ahead of the nausea. So pretty goods so far.

In other news, Mason hasn't been feeling so hot the last couple days.  He had his first up the back poop. And today, he had an up the back and front poop. Poor kiddo. Doesn't have a fever. But he also seems to be tugging at his ears more so I am sure we will be bringing him in just to make sure.

Our other baby, Gaz, had to go to the vet again!  We thought is was just a bad ear infection. Nope. She ruptured her ear drum. She showed literally NO signs of irritation or pain until Saturday night.  She's such a beast but it makes it hard for us to tell when she's in pain or how serious it is! When she tore her acl, she still wanted to play fetch. We brought her in thinking it was just a sprain or something. Little turkey.  Toughest dog I know.

That's all for updates right now.  I'll start doing weekly updates again and belly shots soon.  I didn't make it back to my original weight but that's OK.  I tried my hardest, anyway!  And I'll continue to work on at least staying active as long as possible this time around as well!

Toodles!
