Anyways, after getting the dreaded weight check (I actually lost weight)...because this peanut is sooooo stubborn already; the blood pressure check (100/70-YES), and giving Jo, my nurse, a beautiful NEON specimen (urine), I was set to visit with the Dr! So, I follow Jo into the exam room, which was actually a room with a sonogram machine, and she says "Lindz, get fully undressed, and put on this gown". I mean, we've all been there-right? So, for the next 10 minutes I try to figure out how to put on the gown-does the smaller opening go in the front, or the larger opening....when I finally figure it out, Dr. U (that's what I'll refer to her as for privacy) walks in the room..."Lindsey, are you ready for another one?" I'm like absolutely! She then tells me we are not only having a sonogram to check the progress of the baby, but she wants to make sure there is only 1 baby in there! I'm like, "Huh?" She thought there could be 2 babies because my nausea is so bad, and progress has been so fast. I'm thinking to myself "Lord, I already thought you blessed us with ONE, is this possible?" Well, before this can be established, Dr. U says first we need to do a....(most dreaded exam)..Pap!! Yikes, and she also had to check my cervix..sorry if this is TMI, but I get really nervous for these exams, but as soon as they're over, I'm like, what was I worried about?!
So, now for the FUN part-looking at the BABY!! I was so amazed and so was Dr. U at the progress, in fact, she said you're 9 weeks already! There is FOR SURE 1 baby!! I actually saw the much larger body, little hands which are still forming moving, and the rapid heartbeat! It is so amazing to see, and truly a testament of His work! Such a miracle! I feel so blessed!! Here is our little peanut below...
After I got dressed, I went with Dr. U to her office to chat. She was looking over my file, and know that I LOVE my Dr.-she is everything I want in the Dr. who is taking care of my precious baby, and my female health. She is mostly ALL business which I prefer, but today she cracked me up. She joked that WE were having this baby in September NOT October because September has Sapphires, and that way I'll get great jewelry! So funny! Seriously, though, the reason I will most-likely have the baby in September is because when I go into labor, I give birth very quickly. Bryce took a total of 3 hours from getting to the hospital and pushing him out! So, I'll keep you all updated along the way, but today we are excited and feel very blessed whether or baby is a Virgo or Libra???

That's wonderful news! I was the same way with Parker. Zophran sp? was a wonderful drug that helped so much with the nausea with Avery. I didn't know it existed with Parker. I lost 4 pounds in the first trimester with Parker and managed to stay the same weight with Avery, so it must have helped. Good luck!!
I have two men in my life who are Virgoes...my husband and my oldest son. I can tell you that they are very intelligent but also very intense. I am a Libra/Scorpio cusp and Libra is not compatible with Virgo but Scorpio is. This probably explains why somedays I love these two guys and somedays, they drive me nuts.
Good luck! :)
