Heartbeat, and 2 pounds away!

I turned 10 weeks today. Since I've lost 125lbs I thought we give it a shot at finding the baby's heart beat. It's been my Christmas wish to hear it for Christmas/by Christmas.

However I wasn't sure I'd be able to find it since I could be 9wks 4 days - 10wks along. I don't know when I conceived at all and I suspect I am not as far along as I think I am and my EDD is actually July 23 and not July 21.

Either way, I had dh pull out the doppler after midnight Big Smile just to "see" if we could find it and I fully expected we wouldn't and I would just try again around Christmas Day instead.

Well, after a little search we heard it clear as day. Nice, FAST, and strong. Heartbeat
I am much more relieved now, but I still don't feel "safe". Maybe once I finally feel baby start moving, LOL

I swear pregnancy is so much more stressful after a miscarriage!

I'm also just 2 pounds away from seeing 199 on the scale now. It's weird how the closer I get the more scared I am because I feel like I shouldn't get that low, and yet I am not trying to get that low. This morning sickness has really killed a lot of my appetite and the vomiting here and there don't help either.

I seem to have slowed down for the most part though. I seem to only be losing a pound a week right now and some times nothing at all for a while. I am fairly certain things will start really slowing down or stopping once I hit January when I'll start entering the 2nd trimester.

Such mixed feelings though. While I'd "like" to see 199 on the scale, part of me wonders if it's "okay" to get that low. I already don't feel like I am eating enough and I am not trying to eat less it seriously is this damn morning sickness. UGH!

I am just happy to have heard the baby's heartbeat finally.
