7 weeks pregnant!

I have made it!! A few more days and I'm farther then I have ever been! The nausea is getting better which is nice but my hips and back just ache all the time! My skin is getting really dry and gross! My boobs still hurt but not as bad! I crave subway almost all the time and i crave salt! We had a scare where I started bleeding but the doc says everything is ok and the bleeding was caused from intercourse! It's tempting to cut Scott off for a while just until I'm further but I love him too much! My next appointment is just a few days away
I will have another ultrasound to see the progress of the baby and I'll hear the heartbeat again! It's a comforting noise! I'll upload photos if I can of my growing peanut! :) keep praying and crossing fingers!!

10/20/11 Ultrasound

Scott and I have a healthy little grain of rice.   Its so small you can hardly tell its there.   We got to hear and see the heartbeat today, which was completely indescribable.   It was so emotional.   It was amazing.   I am so in love with my little bean already.   Its heart was beating at 101 bpm which is very healthy the ultrasound lady said.   Happiest news ever.   I am pretty sure it was the second happiest day of my life!!   First being the day Scott asked me to marry him.   I can't wait until my next ultrasound which will be in two weeks on November 2nd.   I am due the 14th of June!   SUPER HAPPY!!

Well tomorrow is the day.... Ultrasound and hopefully a healthy baby heartbeat! Feeling very nervous, and hopeful at the same time! The only symptoms I seem to feel now is big swollen breasts and a little nausea, but mostly I'm very fatigued! The newest symptom is smells..... Valhalla chicken noodle soup made me throw up.. Which then almost made me cry because I was hungry! Hopefully we will have a sweet little baby ultrasound picture tomorrow to show off!! Fingers still crossed and praying even harder!

10/16/11

I'm still hungry and eating everything! Spaghetti sauce and nacho cheese done get along with baby! This week I have been craving salad smothered in bacon and chicken with purple onions! Most my pregnancy symptoms are gone, I'm still hungry, nauseated and tired! My boobs are swollen and hurt really badly! 4 more days till my ultrasound I can hardly wait! I had some weird discharge the other day that scared me really badly and I was worried about miscarriage again, but that was like two or three days ago and I'm still pregnant so I think it's ok! Still trying to stay positive and hopeful!! Continue the thought and prayers for us!!

The test

I think it was the most shocking moment of my life.   I wasn't sure what to think when I saw that little plus, I laughed, I cried, I screamed... It was a very bipolar moment for someone who is NOT bipolar.   Poor Scott, he is so sweet, he just hugged me.

Follow up Hormone test

10/12/11

I had my follow up to my hormone test and the phlebotomist had to poke me three times, it wasn't very fun.   after running the HGC on the blood the hormone levels doubled!!   BEST NEWS EVER!    I couldn't be happier.   They are very pleased with my progress and want to do an  ultrasound in a week.   I am very excited because we should be able to detect a heartbeat on this next ultrasound.  Very excited, but terrified out of my mind.   I dont want to loose another one.   The doctor says i'm between five and six weeks, but they think closer to six weeks because of my hormone levels.  

Now the fun part,  this week i am experiencing lots of morning sickness (it should be called random all day sickness) (some of this may be too much information so i'm sorry in advance) I'm very gassy, which is gross and i feel bad for scott.   I'm constantly hungry and eating a lot trying to watch that though because i dont want to gain too much weight I have felt some belly stretching and pulling and i can't fit in any of my pants.   I'm wearing pregnant pants because I have a baby pouch already.   (I keep teasing Scott that its twins) he wouldn't like that very much.    So we will give another update next week on how me and baby are doing and how daddy is doing.

My first ultrasound

10/10/11
I had my first ultrasound after taking a positive pregnancy test.    I frantically called the doctor worried it was too late already and I would have to mark a number 3 on the miscarriage totem pole.   It was the most devistating feeling i think i have ever had.    We showed up to the doctors and i went in for an ultra sound.    No baby was found, as i'm too early in the pregnancy, it is too tiny to see. but my endometrium was very very thick which is good and they were very pleased to see how thick it was.   They also did a test to see my hormones and how they are progressing.   My HGC hormone came back at 491 which is really good for how far along I am.    I do have to say even though we couldn't see a little baby bean it was breathtaking to see my ultrasound and where my baby would hopefully soon be.   I scheduled a follow up appointment for two days later to do a follow up on the HGC hormones to see where I am at.   The doctor put me on baby asprin which i will take till i'm about 36 weeks along and i'm taking progesterone to keep my endometrium and my uterus strong to help keep the little guy in there.  I will be taking that for about ten more weeks.  Fingers crossed and praying hard!!
