8 week appointment

I had my 8 week appointment today. They poked around, did an ultrasound and took almost all of my blood. Jason was a good sport through it all :) He is such a good husband.

The ultra sound was great. We saw the heartbeat again and we even got a picture this time. It still looks like a blob though.  The baby is the big white blob at the top of the big black circle.

My next appointment will be May 26, when I will get to hear the heartbeat with a Doppler. That should be fun!

Things have been pretty good. I have had some spotting so they put me on progesterone just in case I need it. I haven't really had much morning sickness. just at random times I might feel sick, or my tummy feels funny.

So far so good! I will keep posting with more :)

It's been a while

So... I am definitely pregnant. I knew before I took a pregnancy test, I could just tell by the way my body felt. I went to the doctor on April 4 (about 4 weeks) and they took blood. My hormone levels were at 569 (with the chemical pregnancy they were in the 20s). They had me come in a week later to take more blood and my levels were at 7,779, and they congratulated me and told me I was definitely pregnant.

We have had a lot going on lately, with fixing up the upstairs, so I have been VERY tired. I haven't had much morning sickness yet, but I do have moments where my stomach just doesn't feel right. I am ALWAYS hungry, but I can never really think of anything that sounds appetizing to eat. When I do think of something appetizing to eat, I chow down!

We had a scare yesterday, but it turned out to be good. I woke up bleeding, it was quite a lot of blood and I was pretty scared so I went to the doctor. They did an exam and they told me that my cervix was still closed and it was in the right position. They said "it looks how we like it to look at this point". To ease my mind they sent me upstairs to get an ultrasound. They checked my uterus, ovaries, and the baby. They said everything looked fine, and they couldn't explain exactly where the bleeding came from (both doctors said 2 different things but neither one were completely sure) I saw the baby (It looked like a blob) and I saw the little flutter of it's heartbeat. Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures, but I am supposed to have a doctors appointment next week. Hopefully they will give me pictures. They told me that I am 6 weeks and 2 days and my due date is December 13.

We are not telling everybody yet. Just some family memebers. No facebook announcements please!

More to come... :)
