So I went to the Dr. last Thursday (I know, a little late updating here) and we got to hear the heartbeat! It was very exciting, well actually at first she couldn't find it so I was actually getting a little nervous. But she finally found it and it was about 175-180. Pretty fast heartbeat, maybe we're having a girl!? Don't they say if it's fast it's a girl?
I have actually been feeling really sick these last couple of days. I had to call my Dr. because it was so bad. I was so weak I could barely move or sit up to eat. She thought that maybe I had a stomach virus or was having a reaction to the antibiotic I was taking for a slight UTI. She just told me to eat bland foods and yogurt and that it should go away. I feel pretty good right now so let's hope it has passed. I have my national board exam on Tuesday and I really need to focus on some studying time these next couple of days.
Well I need to attempt to straighten up around here before I get hit with another bout of nausea.

Big news in the Cook household....
We're having a baby!
We've actually known for about a month now but wanted to wait until we were further along to share the news. We told our families this weekend so now the news is out!
I had my first appointment a few weeks ago and all they did was a bunch of paperwork and bloodwork. I go back next Thursday for an exam. I did my due date calculations and am getting that I am currently 8 wks. with a due date of Oct. 9th. When I went to the Dr. they did their calculations with their little wheel, and are saying I am 10 wks. and due Sept. 28th. I think my caculations are more accurate because when I did it online I was able to adjust my cycle length because it's not average. The wheel they use at the doctors is for an average cycle. When I was telling her this she said she will have a better idea when I come back for my exam. So we'll see.
Are they able to tell about how far along you are by a regular exam and no ultrasound?
