Love
My wonderful husband bought me a doppler and it came in yesterday and we heard the baby's heartbeat for the first time outside of an ultrasound. It is the most amazing sound ever!! The first time I tried it I couldn't find anything, which worried me a little because the intensity of my symptoms has gone away since I was sick and had the fevers. That worry is what prompted Jason to buy the doppler in the first place, he wanted some kind of way to check on the baby. Anyway, then Jason asked if he could try and he found the heartbeat! It was so relaxing, like a huge brick lifted off my chest. Our baby has a heartbeat, what more could you ask for??

Videos!
I don't share Ethan enough on here! :0) He is the light of my life, but when I point the camera at him and he notices he goes rather blank, lol, you'll notice I'm sure! I wish I could get his true crazy on video, but no such luck yet! Enjoy anyway! Ohhh and excuse my house, this is what it looks like at the end of the day with the crazy toy tornado that is Ethan.
First up, here's my little champ doing his breathing treatment, after only a day and a half he got used to it and doesn't really mind anymore! YAY!! No more screaming bloody murder, it is wonderful. He normally is playing a ton more, buuuut since the camera is on he's a little shy.
Here is one of the calmest bathes he's ever taken, he was so tranquil looking and just, well, calm that I had to record him.
And lastly, Ethan "riding" his lion. He just stands over it and runs, LOL. This was right before bedtime so he's dressed in his footie and has his binky. (normally only has it at bedtime, but we give it to him for his treatment which was right before this)

Wonderful!
I had my 10 week appointment last week, my Dr is positive I had H1N1 a few weeks ago! Craziness! I absolutely felt AWFUL, so that explains a little. She also couldn't find a heartbeat, before she even tried she said it was early and common not to hear it at this point, but I was hopeful. Well, we heard nothing, which stinks!
On the more exciting side we scheduled my NT scan! March 8th! Can't wait to see the little bean in there. I remember Ethan's NT scan, it was amazing, he was so formed already I just fell more in love with him that day. <3

New happenings
Is happenings a word?? Meh, if not you know what I mean. ;0)
Ethan had a Dr appointment yesterday just to do a little checkup since he's been getting sick so often lately. Two things, one- they think he is allergic to milk. Great. All the kid eats is dairy, cutting it all out is going to starve him to death and he's such a picky eater lately. I honestly don't know what we are going to do. Hopefully he likes soy products, we're going to pick some up today and give it a shot, wish us luck! Two- he has asthma. Double great! He needs breathing treatments 2-3 times a day, we did the first one last night, you'd think we were trying to kill the kid. He was screaming SO MUCH. I dont think he even got half the meds. We have to do this for a month and see if his breathing and wheezing gets better. This blows. Seriously.
On a more positive note, this weekend we are going to work on landscaping our front yard!! We are hoping to ultimately have some grass out there and a patio so we can have dinner outside and Ethan can play without the risk of dog crap. Right now the yard isn't "bad" but it's not kid friendly. It's all rocks and weird bushes. Stupid desert.
Annd!! Here is my first belly picture! :0) I know you all have been looking forward to this! LOL 10 weeks and getting squishy! Yay! Baby is the size of a plum this week. Ohhh, and I have an appt today, hopefully we hear a heartbeat on the doppler. Im a little nervous since I was sick for two weeks and my temp went over the "fatal to an embryo" mark several times. I got it down with Tylenol, but still, Im nervous.

What a miserable day
Today was Ethan's appointment to have his tooth fixed, it needed to be filled and molded to protect the nerve from where he chipped it. The appointment was an hour away, at 9am. He was to be sedated so he couldn't have anything to eat or drink after midnight. The morning went surprisingly well, he didnt cry or fuss even though he didn't get breakfast. We got there and they gave him the sedative and we waited for about 10 minutes, he got pretty dang loopy, he kept telling all the nurses "hi" and calling everything a doggie, it was a little funny, he just looked so stoned. Well they got him in the room and he was still fine, but the nurse said they needed to give him nitrous oxide also, so in the chair he went. For that we had to hold him down, after about five minutes he was done with that and frustrated and didn't like being held down. The Dr took another 10 minutes to come in and by that time after holding him done for the nitrous Ethan was done. He screamed, and screamed, and scrrreeeeaaaammmmedddd through the whole procedure and about made both Jason and I cry. The look in his eyes was so heartbreaking and the constant tears really tore me up.
After this, we had to go to the hospital to have his blood drawn, I was hoping that because of the sedative from the dentist, this would go okay. Nope. They strangulated each arm several times, couldn't really find a vein and after five minutes of poking and screaming, they gave up... so we get to go do that again sometime. :0(
Then we decide that he's got to be hungry, its about 12 and he hasn't eaten anything since dinner last night so we go to IHOP because he loves pancakes. He wouldn't touch them and cried/fussed the whole time. (He's NEVER like this) so we get on the road home and got not even half way there and he starts vomiting again, and again, and again in the backseat. I was out of my seat belt and into the back seat before Jason could even get the car pulled over. Once we did what we could, which isn't much, we continue home.
We get here and he is miserable, crying on the floor refusing to be held. We looked up some of the side effects of the drug they used and a lot of places said it feels like you've been punched in the stomach repeatedly. He was laying on the floor face down, crying hysterically into the carpet with his butt in the air pacing from side to side, you could just tell he was in so much pain and we couldn't do anything about it.
To top it off we forgot we scheduled to have our air ducts cleaned today and they showed up 20 minutes after we got home and needed access to the entire house, all the while Ethan is wailing in the living room with Jason and I. I think the air duct dudes were a little nervous! LOL
After all this, he finally calmed down and ate a few crackers around 4, my poor little man is so, so tired. I hope he gets some sleep tonight, I hope we all do!

My husband
is the sweetest man. I honestly don't know what I would do without him. Yesterday he brought home a dozen red roses in celebration of us hearing/seeing our baby's heartbeat. He is just so thoughtful and I love him so, so much. He does everything in his power to make sure I am as comfortable as possible, and he always feels so bad when Im not feeling well. (which is 24/7 these days) He's my angel, there's no doubt.

Majority Rules!
ONE perfectly healthy little baby!! She found the baby several times, but there was no heartbeat to be seen, I started welling up crying already when I still saw nothing, but finally she got the heartbeat to show up on the screen and then I cried more. LOL Damn these hormones! 146 bpm! We are so relived and Jason is so happy it's just one, haha. Thank you all for the thoughts and prayers!
My due date is also moved up a few days, so that's a nice perk too! ;0)
