DR. Day!

Today was my 1st doctors appointment! I was so nervous. I was in the waiting room shaking, and almost sweating! My phone goes off, its Matt saying "calm down, everything will be ok." How did he know?! That made me smile and think, I have the best husband in the world!

Kara, the nurse I LOVE, called me back, I thought my knees were going to buckle, as soon as I got through the door she hugged me and told me how happy she was for me. We went over all the paper work an she told me to get undressed from the waist down. So I am sitting there in the cold room with a piece of paper over me waiting, an waiting and waiting. Finally a knock on the door and Dr Morris, who I also love, came in. The first thing she did was hug me. I must admit it was a little awkward hugging a woman when I don't have any pants on!

She started the ultra sound and first thing out of her mouth is, "hmmm" that's how she started last time, now I'm on the verge of tears and I ask if everything is ok and I reminded her that's what she said last time and she quickly says, "oh honey I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you sometimes we get interference from the machines upstairs" then she turns the screen to me and I see the most amazing thing! MY BABY!! I could see the heart beat! Then the little one starts to move!! All over the place. then it starts to kick its feet up and down! It was so precious! I just laid there and watched and cried. I have had a permanent smile on my face all day! She printed out two pictures for me to keep. once I scan them in I will post them. Its amazing how much I love this little baby and its only the size of the a grape!

I got home and Matt had bought me a bouquet of flowers and took me to dinner. We stopped at Target on the way home and I had to buy a baby towel with turtles on it that says I love daddy. I really don't think today could have been any better! My due date is still August 16th. Now I have to wait for 4 weeks before I go back. Is it weird that I want an ultra sound machine for my birthday so I can see the little one ALL the time?! :)

I want to thank everyone for the support and prayers you have given me. (Tia you are the BEST) This really feels real! I am going to be a mommy!! By Sunday the baby will have more than doubled in size to the size of a small plum. I am so excited and can't wait for the changes in the weeks to come!

I will keep you all posted on what goes on next with me and the little one. I love you all and thank you again.

9 Weeks!

We did it! We made it to 9 weeks and we are STILL pregnant! All the organs have formed and the baby is very active, but I cant feel it yet. I am so excited.
I even threw up the other day and I was so happy about it!! So far so good. I can not wait for my Dr. appointment of Friday. I want to hear the heartbeat and see everything is OK.
I want to start buying stuff but I'm not sure where to start. I guess I better clean out the spare room first, then start filling it up :) I guess that about it for now. I will let you know how my Dr appointment goes. Wish us luck!

The scary week

I am 8 weeks today! This was the week I miscarried in last time. I am very confident it wont happen again. I am having some serious nausea!! AND I almost threw up!! This is exciting for me because I didn't go through any of this last time. If my stomach is empty, I feel like I am going to throw up. That makes it hard to eat. I am super tired, and have to pee a lot too. My doctor's appointment is Jan 16th. FOREVER away. I will almost be 10 weeks then so I am hoping to see more than bean shaped baby with a heartbeat. Maybe fingers and toes?

It is so hard for me to read one week at a time in my pregnancy book. I want to read ahead so bad but Matt doesn't want to. He wants to know whats happening in the week we are in. He's so cute!

Until next time,
