Last Monday I had my 3rd doctor's appointment. I have gained 5 lbs. since last month :(, but my thyroid has regulated with the medication they have given me. The baby's heartrate is normal and they scheduled my ultrasound for May 5th. We get to take a video with us so they can record it. I am really excited to find out the sex of the baby. I will be 20 weeks exactly so I hope the baby will show us his/her stuff! I also found out I am rh negative. It was concerning at first, but now that I have read up on it, I feel much better knowing it is just a shot at 28 weeks and when the baby is born. It was really good to be able to find out my blood type as well (A-).
This weekend we painted our house (yuck!) and we are working to get it ready to sell. My computer is on the fritz again, so I am at Tera's house borrowing her's. Since it is almost 8 p.m. and my dogs haven't been outside yet, I better get going, but I hope all is well with everyone and I will blog again sooner than later.

We're having a baby
It seems odd to post these words on the blog I had planned for my and Tony's adventures in our early marriage. This is obviously going to be one of our adventures, but I never thought it would be so soon in our marriage. We took 3 tests on February 2nd, and my first appointment was President's Day. I wanted to wait to post this until we had told almost all of our family. I didn't want anyone to be upset because they found out via blog.
Due to the fact that we have only been married for 6 months, the shock was pretty overwhelming. I had wanted kids someday, but Tony waivered between never and maybe someday. Our life is full of change right now (Tony in Utah, me here, the upcoming move to Utah, new jobs, etc.) so this huge news almost pushed us over the top. After about a week we came to the conclusion that The Lord felt it was time for us to be blessed with a baby and this baby wants to be a part of our family. Now we are both pretty excited!
Tony came with me to my first appointment and we got to have an ultrasound. It was reassuring for us both to know that there really was a baby in there and that things were going ok so far. It is nice to be able to see the tiny ultrasound pictures on days, when I feel not ready or worried about what the future holds. Some days I still don't feel ready or old enough to be a parent, but I hope with time that will come.
I went to my second appointment last Monday and I got to hear the heartbeat. It was 164 to 175 beats a minute. I really think you should get to have an ultrasound every visit so you can actually see it, but I guess I will have to wait until the first of May when we have the "real" one. My next appiointment in April they will be testing my thyroid again because it wasn't working normally.
I am 14 weeks now and have been lucky enough to only have thrown up once from brushing my teeth in the a.m. I am starting to show and feeling very large. I have failed to exercise very well since our wedding and now my gym membership is up, so I am currently searching for a good exercise routine that will help me feel better about myself. I want to go outside and walk, but the weather is more crummy than not. If anyone has any good ideas, please let me know. :)
