Baby Update

I went in today for a check-up. This was the nurses visit one, where they go over a bunch of paper work, health questionnaires, talk to you about how you are feeling, etc. I decided to take Ella with me because they told me they would check the heartbeat and I figured she would like that. I asked her if she wanted to go with me and she said yes. On the way there I said we are going to drop Roc off at Emmett's to play, I was figuring she would say I want to stay at Emmett's, but she said she still wanted to go with me! It was kinda a long visit, but Ella is so good she just sits very patiently and watches and listens. We did get to hear the heartbeat, and it seemed pretty loud to me this time. It was neat. The nurse asked me if we wanted to find out what we were having and I said no, do we need to note that in the chart? I don't want to accidentally find out. She told me they wouldn't let that happen. I am determined to keep this a surprise, even though I know when we go for the ultrasound it will be hard! We then went and had some routine lab work done-Ella always likes to play doctor so got right up on the chair with me and watched the girl take about 5 samples of blood. I am now about 12.5 weeks and am feeling better, but still have my days of throwing up, not every day but every few days. I also feel like I could sleep all day! This should pass soon though, the nurse told me. I hope so!
Thanks again Hannah for watching Roc, it makes it so much easier!
