12 week appointment!

Yesterday I had my 12 week appointment. I started out with an ultrasound, then went and asked the nurse questions about pregnancy, I got my swine flu vaccination, and then go my blood drawn. The vaccination didn't hurt at all. I can't watch when I get shots because it freaks me out, so I sat on the table waiting to feel some pain. I was very suprised when she said she was finished. I didn't even feel anything! It was great. I wish that getting my blood drawn was the same story. The phlebotomist had a hard time getting my vein this time so she dug around in my arm for a little bit. She did get the vein luckily. I hate being poked multiple times! I didn't realize that they were going to draw so much blood though. They filled like 5 tubes. At the end I was feeling pretty light headed. Getting blood drawn usually does that to me!

I was so surprised to see how much my little baby had grown in just 4 weeks. It went from looking like a little jelly bean to looking like a human! It's so cool! In this picture I origionally thought that the baby was sucking his/her thumb, but after further review(I've been watching a lot of football with Steve) I've decided that it looks more like he/she is picking his/her nose lol! It's cute! I'm not sure if that is really what is going on, but it just looks like it. I can't wait to find out what the gender of my baby is. I hate writing he/she!

11 weeks!

Well I never posted after my 8 week appointment. Everything was great! I got to see my little babies heart beating. It was amazing! I think I was in shock when I was told that everything was good. I was expecting to hear that I had miscarried again. I cried and laughed at the same time. It was pretty funny. I'm sure that the lady that was giving me the ultrasound was probably freaked out herself haha. Oh well though. I thought I'd post the ultrasound pictures and then I googled 11 week fetus and thought that this picture was the best.

aaaahhhh

Tomorrow is my 8 week dr appointment. It will be the day that lets me know if this pregnancy is going well so far or not. I am so excited, nervous and scared at the same time! I wen't and bought another pregnancy test today just to make sure that it was still positive, you know just in case something happend. I don't think I've had a test show up positive so fast. As soon as my urine touched the line that shows the positive sign it was blue. No questioning that. I sure hope that that is a good sign! I'm taking it as one. Well I will obviously be writing a post tomorrow! Hopefully it is a good one!

Food

Well this would normally be a bad thing, but considering my circumstances it is good! I have been EXTREMELY nauseus! I have only thrown up once, but I constantly feel like I am going to throw up. I don't know how I've held in what I have eaten so far. I am hoping that this is just happening because of my pregnancy and not because of my progesterone pills. It seems like it should just be pregnancy related though. I am 6 1/2 weeks pregnant and in most of the things I have read this symptom usually starts at around 6 weeks. Well I will hope for the best!

6 weeks!

Today I am officially 6 weeks pregnant!! I knew that I was probably pregnant again before I was 4 weeks so I just had to take a pregnancy test to show that I wasn't just crazy. I told Steven that we couldn't get to excited at that time because I just knew that I was going to start bleeding right in time for my period. That is what has happend every other time. Well That saturday came and went, and no bleeding, then sunday, monday, tuesday... Well you get the point. I decided to call the doctor because I wanted to get blood drawn just to make sure that my progeserone wasn't low or anything. He told me that he was just going to give me a prescription for prometrium, which is a progesterone pill. I do kind of wish that they would have drawn my blood so that I could know if that was really the problem. I'm not sure if the prometrium is the only thing keeping me from bleeding, or if this pregnancy is really valid. I have my 1st appt. in the beggining of October, so I guess I will know for sure by then!

My pregnancy symptoms are getting a little more severe. I thought that I was feeling tired at the beginning of last week... I didn't know what it was to really be tired. I am EXHAUSTED! If I could I would just lay down all day and sleep. That would make me happy! Today I have been feeling a little nauseous as well. Nothing serious, but some foods that I normally crave all of the time don't sound very appetizing right now. Well hopefully this ends well.

:(

Well I am on my period. I was bad though and didn't do what I said I was going to do. I took a pregnancy test yesterday. Not because I thought it would last, but because I wanted to know that all of the symptoms I've been having weren't just in my head. It was a faint positive which is a yes. I knew it wouldn't last though. I wish the symptoms would just go away faster though. They are feeling a little more intense today. I'm sure they will be gone in a few days. One of my "friends" on my facebook page is pregnant and almost every day she writes about how much she hates having her symptoms. I wish that I could tell her to get over it and to be greatful that she is pregnant. I don't think I've ever hear anyone complain about it more than her. It's just so annoying to me right now!

pregnant?

So I am hoping that I don't start my period. I am having a couple of symptoms like sore breasts, some fatigue, and I'm a little emotional. I don't wan't to get my hopes up though. Tomorrow is day 28 of my cycle and I probably will start my period. I guess I sometimes get these same symptoms when I am getting ready to start my period. I know that the only way to know would be to take a pregnancy test, but I'm not using another one of those things until I am very late for a period. Blah. I wish that I had some answers so that I could have a little more control of what is happening.

Yesterday I was feeling really down about everything. It is hard to imagine ever having a sucessful pregnancy. I can't even imagine making it to the first 8 week dr. appointment to see the heartbeat. Hopefully it will happen for me soon!

I also hate hearing people complain about their pregnancy symptoms. I will be so greatful whe I actually get to have more of them. I will be glad to have morning sickness. Even if it is uncomfortable, it is for a good reason! People having pregnancy symptoms should just be glad that they are pregnant! :p I probably would have complained about them too if I just got pregnant and never miscarried. But just being in this position has changed my perception I guess. I sometimes feel jelous of the people that are pregnant with babies that are due at the same time mine would be due. I will hopefully get over that soon. Well that is all for now.
