Week 8 contin...

Week 8 has brought about a few new surprises. Very un-sexy, industrial undergarments, and overall feeling of blah, and the ability of a super smeller. The BEST part of week 8 is we got to hear Baby Beier's heartbeat today!! Dr. S said she is 3/4 of an  inch long and still has a very strong heartbeat. She is right on track for the day we are on. She was also moving around a lot! We have graduated from the IVF clinic to our regular OB. I am a little sad to leave our people who helped us get here - but, it is good news that we are strong enough to move on!

Hello 8 Weeks!

I welcomed my 8th week of pregnancy this morning with violent vomiting!
WELCOME!
It has been my first time actually succumbing to the nausea, but it is also a welcome feeling that all is going in the right direction. Baby Beier is the size of a rasberry and has moving fingers and toes. We will hopefully get to hear the heatbeat at Thursday's ultrasound appointment!

In addition, these beautiful pregnancy hormones that are suppose to be creating my beautful baby have also taken to growing me a full beard...again. Although Laser hair removal was successful, nothing can stop a pregnancy hormone on a mission. My beard is back...don't be afraid!

ONE little monkey jumping on the bed!

Today was our first ultrasound (6.5 weeks) and we got to see Baby B's little heart beat! It was very exciting and I was very relieved. Dr. S said it is a very strong heart beat. We go back in two weeks for a second look!

Her heartbeat is the little white flicker in the middle of the tadpole within the little black circle on the left. Good luck - it is hard to see but that is Baby B!!

Holy Book Reading Batman

As most of you know I am fairly new to reading scene. I use to be strictly be a magazine girl. The last several years have matured me into a seasoned reader. My reading library really only  consists of fluff  books, nothing too serious and nothing stressful.
I consider myself to be a fairly slow reader, reading a chapter or two before bed. But this weekend I blew through three books.


I read the first three this weekend and am already on Chapter 10 of book 4. These are vampire story books, something I have not been into. I have not read Twilight or seen the movie or been part of that whole love of vampire thing recently.
I bought the first book because I was looking for a new series and it got pretty good ratings. I got sucked in and wanted to know what happened to the characters so I kept reading...these are total fluff books and so far I really like them. (Warning: There are graphic sex scenes in these books!)
