      I had my first appointment on base at LeJeune today.  Had a lot of paperwork to fill out and had our first ultrasound done.  Makes it feel a little more real to see the baby and be able to hear it's heartbeat.  The heartbeat was 184 and it will slow down in the following weeks.  The baby is measuring about 3 days larger  so they are going to leave my due date alone.  I also then had lab work done which is always fun.  I have an appointment for next week to have a physical done.  Even more fun.
      Still feeling nauseous all the time but the medication I got is helping.  I'm a little over 10 weeks now and about a week ago I had lost about 8 pounds since getting pregnant.  Now that I've seen the ultrasound I'm excited for the rest of this pregnancy.  I'm also excited to start feeling better, which will hopefully be soon.  I've had a lot of concerns about going to the hospital on base, but we had a good experience today so hopefully that will continue.

The baby's head is down and to the left.  In the lower picture you can see a hand above the face.  The bottom picture is basically just zoomed in from the top picture.
