Catching Up on the First Trimester

On Mother's Day we learned the positive baby news! The first 6 weeks were so much fun and I felt great until I was suddenly hit with nausea, 3 hour naps and major food aversions. At this point, it started to feel real. At this point Andrew had the great idea of documenting our weekly progress. He's not only the camera man but the weekly sign artist!

 Week 8: June 7, 2012

Today we had our first visit with Essex County OB/GYN

The apt consisted of an exam, a long Q&A with our Nurse Midwife Nancy,

followed by unwillingly supplying 6 vials of blood samples (which confirmed I am Rh-Negative)
