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!!!!
