Well, my morning sickness took a turn for the worse and we ended up having to go to the ER Wed night. I was diagnosed with Hyperemesis Gravidarum, which is basically severe morning sickness. I was so dehydrated they had to give me 3 or 4 liters of fluids to get me back in somewhat balance. I was told to rest the next day and to just drink gatorade all day long and then to try soup later on that night. I am feeling better but just very weak. It was kind of scary but the ER nurse took really good care of me. They think the condition should go away by my 12th week, so everyone keep your fingers crossed for me.

We had our first appointment yesterday, September 15. We got to hear the heartbeat, which of course made me cry. The doctor said the heartbeat was really strong. The baby is about a half an inch right now, and the doctor took several pictures of the baby for us, so we have our first memories to frame for our little guy. My 9th week starts today, and our due date is set for April 28, 2009.

I decided to take a pregnancy test because I had been feeling so sick to my stomach for several days, and I was late. Sure enough it said pregnant, so I decided to take the second test just to confirm and once again it said pregnant. We were a little in shock, but we are so excited to add to our two person family. We think even Oscar and Jackson know something is up with their mommy because they will not leave my side. Our first doctor's appointment is set for Monday, September 15 at 2:00. I will update our blog at that time. Stay tuned...
