It's alive!

I had a doctors appointment today. Just my regular monthly checkup. They were going to do the normal stuff and listen to the heartbeat with the Doppler. They tried to hear the heartbeat but all the could find was mine. I was laying on the table having a mini panic attack because they couldn't find the heartbeat. The doctor finally gave up and took us to the sonogram room where she did a sonogram. Not only is the baby still alive but its moving around! I can't feel it move yet but Jason and I saw it move twice. So exciting!

A new addition to the baby room

Well we don't have it yet, but my wonderful mother and her awesome boyfriend are giving us the crib that they had in their house.



It is in GREAT shape... it doesn't look like it has been used much at all. It will go great with the rest of the room, which I am not sure how it will look yet, but I know it will go great. It makes me want to decorate and stuff, but there is still so much time.

I have been doing great. No morning sickness really, just random moments that I haven't felt great but very few and far between. I am VERY tired though (It's about my bed time right now actually). I still only want to eat sweets. I thought I would beat my cravings by packing a salad for lunch that had strawberries, mandarin oranges, apples, and walnuts, with a raspberry vinaigrette, but I got sick of that after a week and a half. All the foods I normally love are not appetizing to me. I don't even want to see them, let alone eat them, but give me a hamburger, or chicken nuggets and I am all over that... I very rarely eat that crap.. but now it's all I want.  I don't know what to eat anymore. Hopefully I won't be 500 pounds at the end of this journey.

Anyway, like I said... time for bed.

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... :)

Not this time

Well we wont be having a November baby. The only upside is we get to keep trying. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for a December baby. :)

Trying Again

It's that time again.. time to try again. i went to the doctor last week for another blood test to make sure my levels were normal. They said that they were negative (I didn't know they could be negative). They also said it is safe to continue trying.

I dunno if it is going to happen this month, but I am keeping my fingers crossed. I was looking on a due date calculator just to see when the baby would be due if I got pregnant this month and it would be 11/11/11. That's kinda cool. We'll see in a couple of weeks.

Sad Times

Well, it definately was a chemical pregnancy and I am no longer pregnant. I was supposed to go to the doctor this Friday so they could make sure my levels are getting into the negatives but I wont be able to go.

I will be in california for a funeral. Jason's cousin JP passed away. ALthough I only knew him for a few years but he was very important to me and I miss him so much already. I love him dearly and this was a tragedy. It is still not real to me. I am greatful to have had him in my life for the short time. He will definitely be someone I tell my kids all about.
