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.
