Top 10 First Trimester Must Haves

After my second go around through the first trimester, I've established my list of 10 items I need to get through the first trimester.  I've included obvious choices like Prenatal vitamins and Tums, as well as practical items like a calendar to keep track of doctor and ultrasound appointments and a scale to monitor weight gain.  

But I also threw in some of my personal discoveries, like an extra pillow and blanket to get through long work days, and freezer meals made before week 6 to use on nights when 'morning' sickness extends through dinner time and raw meat is the last thing you want to see.  And thus I present to you my list of the Top 10 Must Haves for the First Trimester:

11w6d Ultrasound

We went in for a screening ultrasound on August 24th at 11 weeks and 6 days along.  I rounded up to reflect 12 week developmental milestones for this collage since it was only 1 day shy.  The results of the ultrasound combined with a blood test, puts our risk for down syndrome and trisomy 18 at 1 in 10,000 births.  The baby appears to be growing healthy and strong and we're all looking forward to the second trimester.

10w6d Ultrasound

We went in for a dating ultrasound on August 17th and found out that we were 10 weeks and 6 days along.  I rounded up to reflect 11 week developmental milestones for this collage since it was only 1 day shy.
