Long time no post

So it's been a while since my last post. Both Pat and I have been feeling under the weather lately. Pat caught the flu last week and is just starting to feel better. Between taking care of Pat and having a low immune system due to the baby I caught the dreaded virus too. I highly suggest getting your flu shot because this is not fun at all!

I went to the doctors yesterday and since they have a protocol to follow when people are sick I was greeted with a mask and nurses in full head and hand coverage as well as blue paper gowns wrapped around them. They treated me as if I had the plague! How embarrassing, especially since this was my first visit to my new doctor's office. We went over a few things about the pregnancy and how I was feeling. They tested me for the H1N1 flu...not fun! They stick a long swab down your nose that feels like they are digging into your stomach! We then tried to listen for the baby's heartbeat with the Doppler monitor but we didn't have any luck so I got to have an ultrasound.

This one was so much better than the first. I could see the baby moving around, kicking its legs, moving its arms, its ears, its little nose and heart beating. It even looked like it waved to us :) Pretty amazing!
