Good Day!

We had our 1st OB appointment today and we got to hear the heartbeat!!!! Yahoo!!! It was about 161 bpm. My Dr. checked my cervix and thought it might be tricky to find the hb based on the position of my uterus, but she put the doppler on and found it right away!

So happy :)

Appointment Tomorrow!

I can't wait! It's our first ob appointment for this pregnancy, and will be our 3rd ob appointment in the past year and a half. I'm hoping this one goes much better! They're going to try and find the heartbeat with the doppler, so keep your fingers crossed! I'll update tomorrow!

Bloaty!

All I can picture is myself rubbing my belly and saying "I'm so dead sexy" just like Fat Bastard in Austin Powers. Ick.

Happy Spring!

I'm so happy that spring has finally arrived! It was about 60 degrees here today, which is fantastic. The big dog spent a lot of time outside in the yard and we even had our windows open! I however, have been feeling pretty crappy and spending most of my time camped out on the couch, but I could feel the air and that was enough for me!

So yes, I have been sick. It's a good sign, but I can't say I particularly enjoy it. However, I am grateful that it means that I probably have a healthy baby growing away! We have our next Dr. appointment next Monday at 10 weeks. I'm still trying to talk Fred into getting a doppler for at home, but he's being pretty resistant. I might just have to talk my mom into bringing one from work down for us... We'll see :) She is pretty excited about this grandchild! :)

Introducing Fressy!

Here are the pictures from the ultrasound! Just a teeny tiny blob right now, but hopefully growing strong! Fred and I had been joking at one point that we would name the baby Fressica, and now the in-tummy baby has the nickname "Fressy", which my mom says she is calling baby (short for Fressica). So here he/she is!

Doesn't look like much yet, but in the second picture, the arrow is pointing to the heart! I wish the next 6 weeks would FLY by, because I want to shout it from the rooftops! :)

YAHOO!!!!

I am so, so, so, so HAPPY!!!!! Baby looks perfect! He/She is about a centimeter long and is measuring right on time at 7w1d! And we saw the heartbeat right away - measuring great at 156 beats per minute! BEST. DAY. EVER.

Fred scanned the pictures, so I'll load them later today. THANK YOU ALL for your warm wishes and prayers! They worked :)

Prayers Please!

Today is the day - finally. Please pray for us and hope that we have a healthy baby growing in there!!

I'm not going to lie - I keep imagining the worst. I've never seen a healthy baby and I just don't know what to expect. I also have had several anxiety attacks and have become borderline hysterical. I just don't know how I'm going to make it to 1:00.

All your prayers and good thoughts are appreciated!!!!

Anxiety

I'm starting to get nervous for our appointment on Wednesday. I just want to know one way or the other if this is the baby for us. I'm praying every day that this will be it! I just am thinking about it all the time. My boss said to me last week, "At least you have a lot going on so you won't be thinking about it." Um, yeah, not the way it works. I wish I was thinking about other stuff, but it's almost like an obsession. I just hope that if this is it, that I will get to a point where I can relax and enjoy it.

Here We Are Again

At 6 weeks, 1 day. Yes, I'm pregnant. Again. I am excited, but also terrified. It's kind of strange to be going through this again. Like I said, I AM excited, but I can't help but feel that OF COURSE I'm going to miscarry again - that's just what happens to me. Someone told me I need to be optimistic. So I'm trying, but I also feel like I need to be realistic and prepare myself in case it does happen again. But I am trying to look on the bright side of things!

One bright side - I am definitely feeling it. I feel like CRAP! How quickly I had forgotten how sick I can feel. I feel like I'm buzzed and hungover all at once, which is pretty interesting. I've started feeling nauseated over the past couple of days and I've been dizzy all day.

When we'll know more - next Wednesday. We have an ultrasound at 1:00 pm and KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED for a heartbeat!!!!!!!
