8 weeks and Back Pain...

So today I am eight weeks along. I was getting dressed and realized I could not fit into my regular pants, so I had put on my maternity jeans. BLAH. I put on my shirt and realized again how large I look. I look so much further along than I actually am. Oh well, I guess what they say is true about showing faster in the second pregnancy. I mean it's great because I know that my baby is growing just fine, but still it seems kinda strange to show THIS early.

Oh I had my second midwife appointment this past Thursday. She did an exam and said everything looks good. While I was there I asked what I could do to relieve the back pain I've been having and she said simple exercises should help. She also discovered that the pain is being caused by my uterus being tilted. Meaning that it is leaning backwards towards my spine. I looked it up on google and it said that it should even out and correct itself by twelve weeks. Only four weeks to go. I'm hoping to survive until then.

My next appointment is on September 15th. Four and half weeks, which would make me eleven weeks and four days along.

Here is a picture of what the baby should look like right now:

Ultrasound...

Today I had my first ultrasound to see my little peanut. I have a nickname for him/her for now. The Blob. LOL. I was soooo excited to see the little one. I had a couple tears in my eye. I was filled with pure joy, knowing my little one is doing good and I could actually see the heart beating. Oh the joy I felt. I only wish Kris could've been there with me. Taylor loves the pictures of it. She was running around with it saying "baby, baby". Then would come to my tummy and kiss it. Saying "Taylor's baby". She is just so precious.
