First prenatal checkup

I had my first doctor appointment Monday with Dr. Murphy. I really looked forward to seeing him because he such a good doctor. I enjoyed having him as my doctor with Cason. I don't see how anyone could say otherwise. If they do its probably them I'm sure. When I got there I went on in which is surprising cause usually I have to wait. The nurse took me back and checked my weight which by the way was awesome. I actually weigh less this time around than when I got pregnant with Cason. The nurse asked me did I do a at home preg. test or did I go to the health department. I told her I took 4 tests at home. She smiled big, lol. What can I say, that's how I roll:)Everything went well. Dr. Murphy told me to eat more calories cause at the time I wasn't. I moved my calorie intake up to 300 more calories. He did an ultrasound on me which I've never had to have that early, but if he wants to do it Why not. All you could see of course at the time was the sack which was still cool to see. I go back in 4 wks to see the baby. He has a 3d ultrasound machine now which I'm very excited about. I'm looking forward to the big ultrasound to see if its a girl or boy. I'm almost sure its a boy but then again it may be a surprising baby girl. I can't believe we will be a family of 6. We seriously need to get our heads examined, lol. The nausea started today (great). Such a downfall with pregnancy. I've tried everything and nothing helps. Just gotta suck it up for several wks. Hopefully it will only be a few wks. Exhaustion has picked up drastically. I have to push myself to get up and exercise then I'm yawning during the exercise. Normally I go to bed between 11pm and 12. Now I'm struggling to keep my eyes open around 7pm. Come on second trimester :)

I'm hoping I won't be too sick when Chris and I go to Gatlinburg. We won't be gone long. We are leaving Fri. and coming back Sun. afternoon. It will be nice to get away and get some peace and quiet for a change.Oh I can't wait. Tammy and Ma will be staying at our house to watch the boys. Gonna be a good weekend. We don't plan on doing much. All I want to do is cuddle up in front of the fireplace :)
