Buds I am SO sorry I haven't posted in a while! I really have no excuse...
Here's what's been going on lately:
I'm still nauseated most evenings/nights. It has improved greatly in the past few weeks but it still hits me pretty hard sometimes (right now I have a pretty horrendous headache). The only thing worse than the nausea thus far is the constipation. It's always been an issue for me (sorry for the TMI) but with the progesterone it has worsened considerably. I've been drinking apple juice, prune juice, eating prunes daily and taking stool softeners and magnesium EVERYDAY and I'm lucky to "go" every 4-7days. As you all know, there really isn't anything that can be done for this so I'm just trying to eat right and drink lots of water. I got my fetal doppler a couple days ago! Of course, I wasn't expecting to hear anything since I'm so early but I took it to my mom's house last night and she found it! 175 and going strong! ~And at just under 10weeks at that! It was fantastic and I plan to try to find it every single day so that I can hear it. =o) I moved up my next ultrasound because my brother leaves for bootcamp at the end of this month > it's now Jan 30th. So I will definitely be posting a pic of that. Umm...I'm still not showing, which is okay. I'm not skinny by any means but I have lost a considerable amount of weight in the past few years or so (65lbs) so I know the loose skin will keep me from showing like my skinny friends. But I don't care. Give me a healthy baby and I'm happy.
Alright Buds, I'm off for now but I promise to do better at my posting! Much love...

It is great to hear an update. I think about you and wonder how you are doing since we are not too far apart in our pregnancies. I think it is great that you got a doppler. That would offer so much reassurance. I would have felt so much better to be able to hear the babies heart beat when ever I wanted in the earlier weeks. I am so glad to hear that everything is going well, and look forward to following your pregnancy!
How fun to be able to pick up the heart beat so early, what a wonderful comfort to have.
