Hi Ladies,

SO finally I had my doctor's appointment after a looooong awaited month. I was so nervous...was just waiting in the room...looking at everyone and hoping to see the little heart flutter for my baby. The previous weeks were straight from hell. I had nausea, tiredness and headaches like I had never faced before. During my first pegnancy I never had any nausea. I use to just sleep alot...but no puky feeling. But this time its totally different, as if I converted into this whole different person!

For starters I have a huge sweet tooth and now any sight of sweets or choclates makes me feel pukey! Also, I am a tea addict and need my tea in the morning or else no one come near :p..........but hello to new pregnancy sympotms I can't stand tea now :(. Wieredly I have been binging on pickles and raw mangoes.

I use to feel extremly sleepy at work too :p.......but aleast all this suggested that my little peanut is growing well. So at the doctor's visit I saw my new doctor , she was wonderful, listened to my history and promised me that she'll take care of me. Then we went for the big ultrasound! Hubby and me had our eyes locked on the screen and there we saw our little baby nestled. She stopped for a moment to see the heart and a clear heart fluttered at 160bpm. She made us hear the doppler too...it was awesome!

She gave us a pic and my peanut looked like an angel. It measure 10W 5D. Now I am scheduled for nuchal transluecy on Thursday. I will be 12 weeks by then. Hopefully everything will be fine. I am taking every week as it comes and hoping they all will pass by with no worries.

I want to be extremly excited about this pregnancy but somehow I am not able to. Everything seems like pins and needles, like I have to be cautious. I use to talk to my baby in previous pregnancy but somehow I dont have the courage to do it with this one. I want to bond but something is not letting me let my guard down. I hope after next week I feel a little better, as I will have the scan and my first trimester will be over. I dont know why I look for an affirmation.

Anyways, thanks for reading. Hoping health and happiness in your lives.

Take care
