Big Fat Positive

We're pregnant! After three months of trying, we succeeded on the third month. This, after charting my BBT for the first time. Our due date is January 7, 2010. This is our very first baby so we're super excited. What you're seeing in the ultrasound is my 8-week dating ultrasound. The baby is the peanut. The head is to the right. You can't see it in this image but we saw the large heart in the image and it literally took my breath away. We were told that once we can hear and see a heart beat, the chances of a miscarriage is dramatically decreased. I'm already at 14 weeks and have thus far not experienced any morning sickness. The only thing that's making me nauseous are the prenatal vitamines, so I take them before bed. The only discomfort I've been consistently experiencing is bad bloating. Gas has been literally a pain in my stomach! There are days where I look 6 months pregnant. So I'm starting to wear very loose pants, drawstrings or maternity. Unfortunately, unlike morning sickness, bloating will not go away in the second trimester! But in the end, gas is such a small price to pay for a beautiful baby.
