While I know our baby hasn't been born yet, I do need to carry it with me wherever I go. So today was baby's first ISU tailgate, football game and homecoming. Our friends from Independence came down with game tickets. Jason had to work, but I was still able to go.
The game was at 1:00 pm so we didn't tailgate for very long. It was nice and sunny out with a little bit of a cooler breeze. The game was pretty good. ISU won against Kansas. One more win and Iowa State will be eligible for a bowl game. Here's hoping! The marching bands did Halloween themed songs. (There was the regular band and the alumni band.) The regular band were dressed in costumes for the half time performance. I was able to tape a little bit of it.

Check-ups
Today was a busy day for me. I go to the chiropractor once a week which definitely helps. The prenatal visit was mostly me giving my medical history and they gave us some information about the different clinic classes and midwives. They even gave us a pamphlet on how to get Zara ready for the baby too. It was a very informative appointment. I had my teeth cleaned at the dentist and they gave me some helpful information and told me of some products they have to help keep me from getting cavities and gingivitis during my pregnancy.
I have another doctor appointment on the 10th of November. Jason and I are very excited! It's been a great journey so far. The only speed bumps we've encountered is a little bit of nausea on and off, especially at work, some headaches and being very tired. We're both in good spirits though and are trying to patiently wait for May to come.

Shot
I got a flu shot yesterday. I'm not very happy about it and my arm feels like it's bruised. It was my first flu shot I've ever gotten, and I'm not sure I will get another one next year. I got the one yesterday since they encouraged it at the fertility clinic. I felt icky for most of yesterday and didn't feel a lot better today. I slept on and off for most of the day, but that's been my normal day off activity since I've been pregnant.
Other than that, not much else is new. I'll have my three month review at work in the next week or so. It should be interesting. I have a different supervisor than when I first started and supposedly this one is just temporary until the other one is done with working with the catering department. No one seems to know when that will be, so I have no idea who I need to talk to about what we can do to compromise with my pregnancy. There's no way I'll be able to do my job for eight hours once I get farther along. Hopefully they'll be very understanding and be able to find something for me to do to keep working.

Check Up
I had an ultrasound today and Jason went with me to the appointment. Everything looks good. We got to hear the heartbeat. It is very strong at 156 beats per minute. We are very happy and excited! I get to see my regular practitioner now and will hopefully get an appointment set up for next week.
We stopped at Grandma and Grandpa Peterson's after our appointment. There were lots of hugs and a very yummy supper. We didn't stay too late since we were both pretty tired.
We're very happy that things are going well! Thank you for all of the thoughts and prayers!

News
For those of you not on facebook (don't worry, I'm not either, but Jason is)...
Yes, Jason and I are going to have a baby. We had an ultrasound about two weeks ago and there is one baby. We got to see the heartbeat which the doctor said cuts down on the risk of miscarriage. We go again on Monday for another ultrasound. We expect our bundle of joy at the end of May!
I've been really tired and am usually queasy on and off during the day. My friend Destiny has given me some helpful hints that so far have not disappointed. I think I've been pretty lucky so far. Jason worries about me constantly, but is very excited. I'm not sure Zara know what to think. I know she enjoys taking naps with me on my days off. Sometimes she even continues to nap without me!
I'll keep everything posted as things progress!

On-Line
I have enrolled in an on-line medical transcription class. I received my materials for the first part on Saturday and I've finished two of the lessons. (I'm tying to do a lesson a day.) I took my first submittable quiz and received a 100%. I was pretty excited! So far I've learned what exactly a medical transcriptionist does and root words of medical terms. It's been really interesting so far. I'm looking forward to the rest of the lessons.
Jason has been very supportive of this. My main concern was not having a paying job during the summer. (Remember, I only work nine months out of the year.) Hopefully it might turn into something I can do for a main income and not have to deal with hundreds of students' dishes. But, we'll cross that bridge when we get there.
Jason and I talked to our friends Jeff and Michael on Skype yesterday. They are still in Spain but are planning on coming back in June. I'm not sure if it's just a visit or if they are going to be back for good. We're excited to see them again.
We also bought some new mousies for Zara. Of course, we forgot to take them out of the bag right away.
