Morning Sickness....

You mean after every time you eat sickness! Man this sucks. I feel like I'm the verge of getting sick after almost every meal, It's like having a stomach bug that just WON'T go away. :\ I haven't pucked yet though! THAT i'm grateful for.

In other news I forgot to report a HUGE accomplishment for me :) It came right at a good time too since I was pulled from work. I got a chance to hold a newborn. I haven't even contemplated that move since Kaitlin. One of my mothers just had a wee one and she brought it in one day not in the carrier so I snagged a hold. It was sweet, and a little bitter sweet, but still a milestone in the road to dealing with loosing a child. I'm super proud of myself for doing it. It took a lot of courage to ask her, since I didn't know how I would feel once I got the little guy in my arms. But it worked out. I'm glad I did it. I'm not ready for a repeat right off, but i'm getting better.

First Appointment Today

Well today was my first prenatal appointment. Which is always a LONG one! The roads were crappy but we went anyway, on the way there we even got rear-ended :\ Didn't do any damage, was a decent enough tap though...Anyways

At the appointment we got to see the little peanut* again. Heartbeat is 147. They also did all sorts of other fun things, like draw blood, another paps, urine samples, etc. They also went over all that testing and everything again which we again waved. No reason to need to know if the baby has Down Syndrome or not, we'll love it all the same.

The doc also decided to pull me from working. She doesn't want me lifting or pulling or doing anything that can cause any issues. So it's all for a precaution but I like that about her, always playing it safe than sorry :)

I spent the rest of the day shopping for the last minute xmas items we need for the trip next week. Also getting a disability form from my boss, getting things from my room, visiting my boys, and getting a prescription filled for antibiotics (I apparently can't unstuff my nose anymore and things just keep getting greener so she wants to clear it before it causes any really bog issues, and I wouldn't mind to be able to breath through my nose again :) )

Next appointment is the day after Christmas which is when we will set-up another ultrasound, set-up an appointment with Uncle Doc for my cerclage, and maybe hear the heartbeat but it might be still too soon, I don't remember when we heard it first with Kaitlin.




*I made sure to use peanut again just for YOU mom ;) Even though it doesn't mean that is it's official nickname ;)

Good News

So all my test results were negative. BUT with being let out of my room at work to pee more I definitely don't have the same pain as what I did before :) So perhaps it was all having to due with being pregnant. It's hard to just let the aches and pains go with out over analyzing them, I think it comes with the territory of any pregnancy after a loss.

Off to the docs tomorrow will update again soon :)

7 Weeks

Size = 1/3 - 1/4 of an inch
Weight = less than 1 gram

This week your baby's brain is growing at a mind-boggling 100 cells per minute within a see-through skull.

Your baby's face is becoming more defined this week. A tiny mouth hole, tongue, nostrils and ear indentations are visible.

The umbilical cord is now visible.

Your baby is now between 1/3 and 1/4 inch long—about the length of a Tic Tac and about as heavy as an eyelash.

6 weeks 2 days ultrasound :)

Here's our peanut, well actually smaller than a peanut, lol :) The baby's heartbeat is 130 which we were told is good. It was just cool to see the heartbeat :) My cervical length was also nice and long like it should be at 3cm :) So let hope those number stay nice and strong. She didn't measure the baby so I don't know it's size. I think she was supposed to or if she did we didn't pay attention. Sometimes they do those measurements afterwards.

I did get some brownish discharge after the ultrasound tech left me to clean up :\ Which the discharge has continued into last night and some this morning. So we are waiting and seeing what it will bring :\ Hoping she just irritated things and that all is good.

Having to Pee

It seems like I have pee ALL the time and at work I'm stuck holding it at times for various reasons and now I'm about 99% sure this has developed into a problem since now I feel like I have to pee ALL the time! I mean ALL the time! Not to mention I have a constant burning feeling, my lower back hurts, under my ribs hurt, i've been getting nauseous, and my newest symptom dizziness. Yesterday I had to pee so bad that by the time I went I was getting cramps, and they lasted for awhile. Which scared the crap out of me. So I took today off so I could pump fluids in me and get in to see the doc. Which they didn't let me see a doc, instead they had me pretty much just drop off a sample :\ I have to wait until MONDAY to get the results!

The nurse that usually works with my doc caught me in the hall, she asked if they were putting me on something as a precaution...I wish! The nurse I saw didn't feel a need. :\

Week 6

Size : 1/8 inch
Weight: less than a gram

Your baby has grown to about the size of one of the chocolate sprinkles on your last cupcake.

Your baby's heart is now beating to a regular beat, although it's still too faint to hear.

If you can't stay awake for the second half of Grey's Anatomy, blame it on the baby. Extreme exhaustion is often one of the first signs of pregnancy, and while your body will probably regain some of its strength by the time you enter your second trimester, you might find yourself nodding off during Dr. McDreamy's love scenes.
