For the past week, I've been having vivid dreams. I've even woken myself up twice in dreams I've been scared in or wanted to leave the situation (one w/ an elevator going too fast, another w/ a creature like a ferret attacking me! ) I don't usually dream so often that I remember it, like less than 1x every 2 wks. But this past wk. it's been really eventful! Let's see if these last.
Other than that, am happy I can finally tell people in less than a wk! I'm looking fwd to be able to talk about it w/ more people.

just about 1/4th of the way!
Tomorrow will be 10 wks!Everything's going great. NO NAUSEA WHATSOEVER, well except Sun evening but my hubby was too, we'd eaten too much that dayI really gotta count how lucky I am! I don't really even "Feel" pg just slight tugging at the abd. region sometimes, well at least 1x a day. I'm off this wk on fall break and went to my gma's in AZ. Of course we can't tell them yet, but will in a few wks. We've been debating what prenatal genetic tests to do, I think we'll just wait till 16 wks to do the free AP4 test, which shows the same as the $400 one they do at 11 wks. I'll think I'll get a subscr. to pg mag now, altho looking thru, all it had was ads for baby stuff. Why not more pg mommy stuff?!

1st u/s Went for the 1st prenatal visit today +got the u/s! Exciting, you can see the head, the heart, little arms, maybe legs (it could be umbilical cord) I even think you can see eyes ever so sligtly. Everything looks good, the NP said. Other than that, nothing new to add. Still little symptoms. No new doct's appt until 16 wks.. I'd been looking so fwd to this appt for 4 wks now I don't know what to look fwd to. I guess to in 4 more we can tell people. Won't get another u/s intil 20. Oh well..

some sharp pain, got checked up
I have the first U/S in 3 days but had a shooting pain in my side, much more than the slight cramps I've had throughout, so I called the Kaiser on-call nurse and they said the only U/S facility open was at the ER so we headed there, we were in the mountains so when we got there 1 hr later, I didn't have pain anymore. I called the on-call again + asked if I should go + they said it was up to me. They said if it was ecoptic preg. it could have ruptured w/ internal bleeding even tho I didn't have external bleeding. So that was enough to go for a check + boot the $100 copay. Well, the doc did a pelvic + touched the organs + I didn't have pain so she said I was fine, no ecoptic. She didn't see the need for an u/s esp. since I'm going in 3 days. Oh well, I feel fine am just impatient for the U/s so I can SEE It's fine. SO she said if I get bad pain where I'm buckling over to get checked again. But no bleeding so that wouldn't be misc.if only pain.
So that's what people who've never been preggers b4 worry, but it's good to get peace of mind, just sucky when if it had happened during business hrs I wouldn't have paid a cent... Got weighed yesterday, am doing personal training. No wgt gain in the last month! I hope I won't gain more than 2-3 lbs the 1st trim.
