Lime.

Good morning to anyone that reads my blog. I must say that I have been wanting to post for a few days now, but I have been a bit under the weather. I've actually been dealing with some kind of sickness since late Thursday night. I will spare you all of the details, but let me just say...YUCK! I finally went to urgent care yesterday and after 2 long hours we were finally leaving with no definite diagnosis. Ugh. In a nut shell, I could have a gallstone, a kidney stone, or neither. Awesome. Today I am waiting to hear back from my primary Dr. to find out whether or not they think I need to have any further testing. I am so thankful to be feeling better this morning. I have actually successfully eaten breakfast and am currently sipping slowly on a delicious, decaf frappuccino. My husband definitely deserves some kind of award for how loving and patient he has been over the past few days. Well, really over the past 5 years! But really, he has taken such good care of me and I just can't thank God enough for him. And Minnie, too. She has laid (literally laid) by my side since Thursday night. I just love her. As for baby...he/she is the size of a lime this week! Justin and I both felt like that was quite a jump from prune last week. But what do we know. Obviously I have been feeling nauseous over the past few days, but I'm not sure that its related to pregnancy or whatever else might be going on inside of me. That's about all for the updates for now. Except that spring break is next week!!! I'm praying that I will be as good as new by then! :)

Thanks to all of my family and friends for your continual prayers and support.

Hugs,

Meredith

Gummy Bear.

Friday was the day! We got to see our baby for the very first time!! It was a very cool experience and I am so glad that Justin was able to be there to share it with me. Baby Evans looks great and is measuring right on time. I am 9 weeks today. His/Her heart rate was 179 bpm, which we were told is good. He/She has two little arm buds and two little leg buds. The ultrasound tech called him/her our little gummy bear. I thought that was cute. We got to see the heart beating on the screen which was really neat. I am still feeling good, and still praising Jesus that I am feeling good! We go back to the Dr. at the beginning of May for a family history workup... woo hoo! I cannot believe it's already April! 10 more (school) days until SPRING BREAK and 21 more days until we go to ORLANDO for a WEEK! Oh my goodness, I cannot contain my excitement!! Well, I will leave you with a picture of our little gummy bear. Note: The circle at the top of his/her head is not a part of baby.
