12 week checkup
Well, we went in on Monday for the 12 week checkup. It went really well, and we got to hear the baby's heartbeat with a Doppler! It was really cool. It was like "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh". It measured at 152 bpm which is right on track. The doc said "there's definitely a little person in there!". I scheduled my 20 week ultrasound for October 23rd, I can't wait! I still feel like it's a boy, but I would be more than happy with a girl as well. I'm just thankful this baby is strong and healthy! The doctor said the loss rate at this point is only 1%. They also gave me Zofran last Friday to stop the vomiting, and it literally is a miracle pill. I just wish I had asked for it sooner! The insurance company would only cover 12 pills, though, as it's so expensive, but I've been cutting them in half to make it go further and it still does the trick. The doc thinks I should get off it at the end of the week, because the placenta should take over by then and my hormones should start becoming more regulated.

Glad the vomiting and nausea has subsided. God is good. I didn't have nausea too badly with either baby, but with Kade it was worse (I heard from Phil's Grandma that it meant he would be born with a lot of hair LOL) but I only vomited once, so not bad.
I would carry crackers with me everywhere so I was never too empty stomached, and eat one or two before sitting up in bed, even.
On Cindy Rushton's podcast (Mom to Mom radio show) she interviewed a mom with chronic sickness in pregnancy who wrote a book on it.
