Follow up ultrasound

My baby had a strong heartbeat!!! 156 beats per minute. Such a good feeling. The Dr. told me to relax and just keep eating healthy as that is the most important thing. I´m still not giving up bread. He obviously doesn´t know who I am. And with the urge to barf 70% of the day, carbs really are the only savior sometimes. He did give me some anti-vomit meds though. I have this nasty gel stuff that I am supposed to drink after eatign and before laying down. Tried it last night and it worked this morning. I didn´t puke pure stomach acid! Whoooo! Cause not only is the taste disgusting, it really kinda hurts your throat too. Then he gave me some hardcore pills that I can only take if I am in a meeting or somewhere in public really important where I absolutely can´t ralph all over the place. Hoping I don´t have to ever use them. The ¨relax¨ part is much easier said than done. But I am trying my hardest. I just feel more pregnant this time than any of the others, mainly because of the nausea, but I really think that makes all the difference in the world. I was so thrilled to see my little frijolito on that screen with his heart just pounding away. I just can´t help but think it could come to an end at any moment and my stupid body won´t give me any sign, like the last 2 times. It´s seriously allowing me to not be excited or enjoy this whole experience. Luckily 5 more weeks is all i have left to make it out of the danger zone. Deep breaths...

More Baby Franco pics! He looks more like a baby this time huh? And look at that heartbeat blob how much closer it is together! Grow bebe grow!
