Joshua and I are excited to share our news that I am pregnant! We found out with a home test in March and then had our first appointment with my doctor in Olomouc on April 6th. This first ultrasound picture is from the beginning of the 7th week. We were able to see the heartbeat and we were overwhelmed with joy at the sight of it. The doctor said everything looked great and that I would return in 2 weeks for another appointment. I also had all of the first rounds of bloodwork done at this appointment. They had student nurses in the office and, having been one before, I let them draw my blood. Overall, she did well and only bruised me a little on one arm:) I don't think I was feeling any pain at that moment anyway. We were so excited with the good news! I was, however, already experiencing overwhelming nausea by this week. For me, it has not been only "morning" sickness so far, but all-day sickness. My only other major symptom by this point was fatigue. We are looking forward to our next visit and ultrasound on April 20th:)
