This ultrasound was a little over a week ago, at not quite even 12 weeks. It's a picture of the picture, so not that great of quality here. I think it's amazing for only being that far along. I've had four ultrasounds already, and it appears I will have one at every appt. The main purpose for the ultrasounds is to check the length and position of my cervix, since my cervix started changing and dilating at about 24 weeks with Isabella. My new doctor is really growing on me, he's great, and knows his stuff, that's for sure!
My nausea is still going strong, and I got reprimanded by my dr. a little for continuing to lose weight. He said I should not be looking at pregnancy as a weight loss program, ha! I'm not too worried about that, I'm positive once the nausea is through I'll have NO problems gaining weight! I'm actually a little worried that once food starts tasting good to me, I'll go crazy and gain a huge amount! I think I fugured out a connection between my migraines and not eating enough, too. It seems like on REALLY bad days when I can't keep anything down, and I can't even force myself to eat much, I always get a migraine. I'm going to try drinking some En.sure or something similar to that to see if it helps at all. He told me to try Uni.som (yes that's a sleeping pill, but it has been known to help morning sickness), but it didn't help me at all. He also gave me a prescription for Zo.fran. That stuff is expensive!! I got 15 pills (generic form), the price for them was $140, thankfully I only had to pay $18 with insurance. When I asked the pharmacist about it she said the actual name brand of the drug is over $400 for 15 pills!! I've only taken it a few times. I just take it when I have to go somewhere, or if I'm having an especially bad day where I just can't keep one thing down. And it's just enough to take the edge off, it's not a miracle pill or anything (for me, anyway). I am SO looking forward to feeling like my old self again, I'm pretty sure Monte feels like a single dad!

That is an awesome u/s pic! Thank goodness I don't live any closer, I'd be following you around and patting your belly all the time. :>)
Good for you for making the connection between not eating and migranes, hopefully you'll be able to prevent your migranes better. I've heard a bit about the sleeping pills and queasiness, though I've not figured out how an already tired pregnant mama could take one and possibly stay awake (unless you take them at night and it still helps you feel better during the day?)
Anyway, thanks for the update!
That is one beautiful baby!!!
