13 Weeks! Been a while

It has been a while since I have posted. Honestly, it's because I couldn't remember my log in information. I tried :) Brief update. Ok, there won't be anything brief about this update!

Hannah turned 6 years old on 2/24. We took her to Animal Kingdom for her birthday. Her favorite part of the whole day was playing with the Elephant Poop when walking through one of the exhibits. Picture is (hopefully) posted below! Then we had a little party for her on her actual birthday! I have the most amazing daughter! She just lights up my life.

We had our 12 week DA last week and the doctor had Ronnie and I in a panic. They couldn't find this stubborn little baby's heartbeat with the doppler so of course we had to wait 5 hours for an ultrasound but baby is just fine! I have stopped bleeding (with the exception of shortly after another t/v ultrasound). So I am feeling a lot better.

I am just trying to take it all a day at a time. I am more than thrilled that we have another one on the way but it is also scary to think about starting all over again! We haven't done the whole baby thing in 6 years! I am nervous like I was with Hannah because I feel like I have never done this before. I am not showing at all yet and I haven't gained any weight so it's still hard to believe sometimes that I am actually pregnant.

I had a horrible week at work last week to top it all off! I was accused of some pretty horrible things and thought for sure I was going to lose my job. I was called into the owner's office and screamed at for things that I had no idea were even going on in our office yet apparently I was the center of it all. I was accused of spreading confidential information out to our vendors that we buy from. My computer was searched for "evidence" and when they came up with nothing they didn't even apologize for the way I was treated! I was also accused of something else that is so ridiculous I don't even care to discuss it! Our company is so small. The two owners are brothers. There are a set of sisters that work there and my mom and I work there. There are a total of about 10 employees total that make up customer service, vendor services and warehouse staff. I just hate to even think about going back there tomorrow! I feel like I am under a lot of scrutiny and with all the pregnancy issues I have already had, I am scared that the stress of it all will just make things worse.


So..... I just take it a day at a time and Thank God for the great friends and support system I have! One of these days I will have something really brilliant to write about! LOL...

Oh The Drama...

Thank goodness I had a surprise OB appointment today! I called my Doc's office yesterday because the spotting has continued daily since last Monday. I know I saw my little one and I know it had a functioning heart, however, it wasn't enough. It is NOT normal to be spotting like this.

When I called the nurse she said she is sure everything is fine but to keep my appointment today. I had no idea I had an appointment today. The receptionist accidentally put me on on 2/3 and again on 3/3. So she told me to come on in.

First of all I get there on time at 8:30am... An hour away from home and the doc doesn't even SHOW UP until after 9:15... Talk about anxious! He apparently had a busy night (3 deliveries). Anyway... I explained to him what was going on and he opted for a pelvic exam. He said that I have a very "vascular and annoying" cervix. Then he continued on to make a joke saying that an annoying cervix is better than an annoying patient. I simply thanked him for the compliment! LOL. He really has a way of easing the tension :)

So basically he said that he could just look at my cervix and the blood vessels would pop - another joke. He said my Cervix is good and closed, just annoyed and he believes that is what is causing my spotting. He is having me come in tomorrow for a repeat ultrasound just to make sure everything is progressing normally. Of course I would not object to this!!!

Then, as I was leaving, the receptionist gave me the outline of my delivery fees. I thought they were $0 but I was wrong. Apparently she can't add but I am not going to tell her. I only owe $465 and I have until the end of May to pay for it. Not complaining about this either unless she catches her error! Maybe this is wrong, but your help should be smart enough to figure your fees! LOL

Either way, I am feeling better and seriously thinking BLUE! I am trying not to get my hopes up but this pregnancy is the exact OPPOSITE of my last!

Will update again soon!

An Eventful Monday!!!

Well I woke up this morning to brown spotting. Spotting is something NO pregnant woman wants to see for oh..... about 9 months. I first called my boss (who does not know yet that we are expecting). I simply told him that I had a very personal medical issue that I needed to deal with this morning. He politely asked that I spare him the details and take the time I need. Phew... Then I had to wait 2 1/2 hours for the doctor's office to open. I am sure I woke up Laci in panic, blowing up her phone but she responded quickly and as usual calmed me way down.

8:30 finally rolled around and I called the doc. To ease my mind they let me come in at 10am for an U/S. I was all by myself because, while DH would have preferred to be there, it was too short notice for him to bail on inventory on a Monday morning... I have never been so nervous in my life. While waiting for the office to open I must have went to the bathroom every 10 minutes to make sure that the spotting had stopped or at least not gotten worse. Then it hit me that I probably needed a full bladder for this appointment. So I downed a 32 ounce Gatorade on the way to the doc so my bladder was more than full. I was very nervous because when they did the ultrasound from the abdomen I saw nothing but a bunch of black empty areas. I immediately thought... Not another blighted ovum...

She sent me in to do a urine sample and relieve my bladder so she could to the vaginal u/s. It seemed to take forever for her to find my little bean. Ok... It was only like 3 seconds but it felt like an eternity! She then pointed out the cutest little flicker I have ever seen and told my that my baby looks perfect and his/her little heart was beating away at 125 BPM. WHAT A RELIEF...

Well... I decided that since I already told my boss that I had needed time for a personal medical issue that I would make a day of it. I went home and I SLEPT all afternoon until it was time to go get Hannah from Tae Kwon Do...

I am feeling much better now. Seeing that little babies heartbeat made a world of difference and low and behold, the spotting has stopped.

I will try to post pics of the U/S but I am still getting used to this blogspot stuff :)

Exciting Start to the Week...

What a great weekend and start to the week! The concert was amazing. Joe Nichols was AMAZING and I absolutely loved Bomshel an the Trailor Choir! Very good line up! We had fun! It was a late night and DH was drinking so by the time we got home I was beyond ready for bed.

Our first DA went great! I thought for sure I would have to go to a lab an have my blood drawn by my new doc has medical assistants right in his office so I didn't have to go elsewhere. They did my labs, complete head to toe physical and scheduled my first U/S for February 3rd.

I am feeling great so far. I hate to say that because I don't want to jinx myself! I have had just a few little waves of nausea when my stomach is empty and of course I am super tired but other than that, I really can't complain.

I can't wait to see our little peanut! Seeing a heartbeat will allow me to open up and tell all of my friends and facebook.... LOL... I am so afraid to even browse at all the baby items online in fear that something could still happen. I guess when you have dealt with a loss that never leaves your mind until you are certain that everything is 100% ok. 2 more weeks of keeping it a secret... I can do it :)

5 Weeks....

We are 5 weeks and 1 day pregnant.... Time is dragging! I am so ready for my first appointment on Monday. Nothing much happened this week. Work was a little slower than usual so I was a little more bored than usual! I am trying not to start looking at baby items and get too excited until I see the doc. It is finally sinking in but until I see/hear that heart beat I can't bring myself to do it.

We had a blighted ovum with the pregnancy before DD was born so we are excite but also aware that we have a history. Though as the days go by I am becoming more and more confident that we have a sticky little bean in there and all will be just fine...

Aside from still trying to believe it all we have an exciting weekend ahead of us.... Ronnie never has weekends off. Aside from a food show he is doing today until 2 we are off together until Tuesday! He got me tickets to the Acoustic Jam tomorrow night at the Hard Rock and I am sooooo excited about it! I have been begging to go for months! LOL... Can't wait - Going to get to see Jason Michael Carroll, Chris Young and Many more!

Our first DA is Monday... Will update again after the concert an DA! Have a great weekend ladies!

Yay!!! BFP and first week knowing we are preggers!!!

Well... I was totally not expecting to get a BFP this month! We really did conceive our little Christmas Miracle! We found out on Thursday, 1/7 (my dad's birthday) that we are pregnant! I have peed on about 30 different HPTs and they are all BFP!!! I am still somewhat in disbelief...

When I POAS, I didn't really think I saw a 2nd line so I brought it in to DH. He said.... "There is definitely a line, what does that mean?" I just hugged him! LOL... I didn't know what else to do. So we went on about our morning in complete disbelief. It didn't really sink in until we went to his grandparents house on Friday night. They are very elderly and require a lot of help from the family. I was helping with the physical things but I knew I couldn't anymore so we decided to tell them right away. Then Sunday we told our DD! She is soooooo excited. We also told the in-laws. It wasn't until yesterday that I clued my family in. I still don't know when I will be ready to announce it to the world yet but I have 9 months to think about it!

The only symptoms I am having so far are:

Extreme Fatigue
Sore BB's (just started yesterday/today)
A little constipation :( Boo
Hungry all the time

This is not a complaint at all! I am blessed to finally be pregnant and I am more than thrilled. Our first appointment will be Monday, 1/18 at 2pm... I can't wait for my first U/S even though I am assuming it won't happen until February... At this point I am going rest before the other symptoms kick in and just enjoy not have to stress over TTC!!!!
