The Sickness

Well as I entered my 6th week of pregnancy I became so incredibly ill I thought I was dying! I had to go to the ER and get meds and fluids. Now after almost 2 weeks of meds. I am feeling much better, still puking but not as often. I hope this means I have a healthy baby in there! We go to hear the heartbeat and get a bunch of bloodwork done on Tuesday November 9th. I am anxiously awaiting this date. My worst fear is that we will not have a heart beat. I am told this is unlikely considering the horrible sickness I have been suffering. So sorry I haven't updated there just isn't much to report. I couldn't write about my fun vacation because I was so sick I had to miss it :(

M.I.A

I have been sooooo busy lately! We were gone all weekend spending time with our families! It was so hard to be around them with this giant secret in my tummy! I cannot wait until I hear this heartbeat so I can flap my gums!
This weekend started spending quality time with my grandma, then I came home and took a 3 hour nap! This exhaustion is killing me! After that I had housework to do!
Sunday we went to a football game with my Father-in-law and some friends! It was a lot of fun but an extremely long day!
Now I am bogged down with school work, housework and preparing for our mini Ozark vacation coming up next week!
I promise to blog next Tuesday after my appt, until then it is going to be scattered!
Thanks for reading :)

Catch up!

I took lots of pictures of Mr. Mraz from my spot a few feet from the stage! It was amazing but afterward I felt like crap! My back and stomach muscles have never hurt like that! My sister in law bought me an awesome t-shirt and discovered I was pregnant due to pictures of pregnancy tests on my camera! I'm so dumb! She promised not to tell so hopefully she doesn't because my mother-in-law will be devastated if she isn't the first to know! Oh Mother-in-laws! So fun!

The Dr. has confirmed that there is something in there! I had a pregnancy test, which was positive. I also had a pelvic exam, good times, which confirmed that my uterus is slightly enlarged! My next appt. is in two weeks where I believe they will just further confirm my pregnancy and I will speak to the woman in billing about everything our insurance does and does not cover! I am anxiously awaiting the 10 week appointment where I will hear the heart beat and see the little nugget!

This morning I woke up sick and I actually puked! I was kind of excited about it and caught myself hoping it happens again! I never thought I would see the day I wished to vomit! Oh boy!

Today

I am feeling better. I may not have morning sickness yet but I have plenty of other symptoms. I feel that this pregnancy will stick around.  If it doesn't I will get through it and try again. At least we know I can get pregnant! My husband and I are just talking like it's going to happen. We are planning when to tell people and how we want to handle the delivery room and visitors. I'm trying to stay positive! I'm not going to lie I have taken 3 pregnancy tests...but I consider this progress ;)

I have my first prenatal appointment tomorrow. I hope it goes well! Afterward i am going to see Jason Mraz with my sister-in-law! We LOVE him! So hopefully tomorrow will be an excellent day! I will be back Thursday with reports!!!!

Afraid....

I'm so afraid that I am going to lose this baby. It is driving me nuts. I know I have to relax but it is hard!
I am worried about everything:
I have one cup of tea a day, which was ok'd but as soon as I found out I stopped drinking it.
I live in an 80 something year old home, so now I have to buy a water test kit because I'm worried we have lead in our water.
I had to tell my chemistry professor that I was pregnant because I was afraid that I would touch something that could hurt the baby.
I feel like everything in the world is out to get the baby and make me crumble like before.
I just want to know that everything is okay, that the baby is growing appropriately, that my hormones are at appropriate levels to keep the pregnancy. I wish I didn't worry so much that would be better for the baby but I cannot help it. I have loved this little peanut since before it was even conceived!

I have been reading everything and I mean everything online. I am really confused about what week I am in. Some sites say I'm 4 weeks, some sites say I'm 3 weeks. If I'm 4 weeks then they can do an ultrasound at the doctor next week and we might be able to see the heart forming but definitely the neural tube!

I'm a mess, I'm working on it.

Soooo

I have been feeling like I was going to start my period for the last few days. So this morning I decided that if I didn't take a test to see what was going on with me, it may delay my period. So before I got into the shower this morning I took a pregnancy test. Now I fully expected this test to be negative which is why I took it. I figured then I would relax and my period would start and I could start my next round of clomid!
BUT......
It was POSITIVE!!!!! OMG!

I really hope that this is for real. I'm worried it might be a chemical pregnancy or that I will miscarry! I have an appointment on Wednesday the 29th with my Dr.! I just really hope that everything is looking good and that I have a baby in June!

Suz, I think your dance worked ;)

Week-end

This weekend I did not do any sanding or painting! I'm so lazy about those things! I want them done, but I don't want to do them. Ha. If only it would work that way!
Instead of sanding and painting, my husband and I went on a short bike ride, cleaned our house (windows included) and had my dad, his girlfriend and my paternal grandparents over for dinner! We had Eggplant Parmesan, salad, garlic bread and peach and cherry pie a la mode!
It was really delicious and it was nice to spend time with everyone!

Yesterday I got my Chemistry test back and Hallelujah, I got an 89%, so close to an A! I was shocked!  Now I just need to ace my Developmental Psych. test and I will be getting nice grades in all of my classes! I hope I can keep it up!

On the baby front, I am now 5 days away from being able to POAS! I'm really nervous and am pretty sure the result will be negative. I'm going to try and wait longer than the 5 days so I don't have to waste a stick! If it didn't work this time I have to take a higher dose of Clomid next cycle. I was sooooooo  moody with just the 50mg that I don't even want to see what the 100mg will do! Here's hoping my gut feeling is wrong and I am pregnant!
