3rd u/s - 7 weeks

Sorry for the slight delay! I had a monster headache yesterday and could barely look at the computer. Yesterday's u/s went great. The baby is almost 4 times the size it was at the last u/s; from 3.43mm to 11.19mm (1/2 inch)--right about the size of a blueberry! He/She is actually measuring 2 days ahead at 7w2d. We saw the yolk sac again as well. The little heartbeat was pumping away at 153 bpm. I officially "graduated" from the RE yesterday.

After a change in plans, I actually went for my OB physical yesterday evening. Everything from a physical standpoint looked just fine. I have gained 1.5 lbs since my pre-pregnancy weight. Which, I'm pretty sure is all in my boobs (I'm busting out of a 34 D). I have my next u/s on 11/25, at 9w5d (I don't get to see baby for 2.5 more weeks :( ), and then my next OB appt on 12/01 (10w4d). Between the beginning and middle of December I go in for my genetic testing b/w and NT scan (doc instructed me to come in between 11-12 weeks). DH and I have decided to proceed with all available screening. I also have to get a flu shot after 1st tri.

I have the new u/s pic at home and will post later :)

In terms of what I am currently experiencing, I am still battling the nausea. Some parts of the day are better than others. I can by no means allow myself to overeat, that's when it gets the worst. I've been very tired and my boobs need their own zip code (and they are killing me). But I definitely am a happy camper :)
