2nd Ultrasound

We have a heartbeat!  Wow, what an amazing thing to see a heartbeat at 7 weeks pregnant.  I was pretty nervous prior to the appointment that we wouldn't be able to see anything, but it was clearly there.  Cliched as it may be, I cried a little (it was more like a slight leak).  The Dr. said that now that we've seen the heartbeat we have a 96 - 98% chance of bringing home a baby.  That's opposed to a 75 - 80% chance prior to seeing the heartbeat.  I'll take those odds!

I'm feeling pretty much normal so far.  I had one really bad day of nausea the day after Christmas, but now I think maybe it was from having the flu since I really haven't had any other nausea since.  Every once in a while if I let myself get too hungry, I feel some slight background nausea but nothing major.  I still get a little dizzy occasionally as well if I stand up to fast, but that's pretty limited also.  The Dr. told me I could expect a lot of bloating by this point, but honestly I haven't really noticed anything.  My weight hasn't changed yet, but you're only supposed to gain 1 - 3 lbs in the first trimester, so that's normal.  Below is my 7 week belly pic.
