Ahh laziness

Nauseated but hungry. Tired but unable to sleep. Pudgy but not pregnant-looking. In pain from a variety of complaints and suffering from a weakened immune system but forbidden from taking most over-the-counter remedies. Moody and cranky and irritable and weepy...welcome to the first 9 (tomorrow) weeks of pregnancy!  I'm laughing out load as  I read my friends blog about women showing up to ultra sound appointments in pj's.  Not condoning it but it is easier (as I'm writing my beautiful 8 yr old step daughter brings me breakfast in bed). I'm indulging in laziness, but I did go to zumba last night :-)
HOW FAR ALONG?:  8 weeks 6 days, so far progesterone suppositories are working!


TOTAL WEIGHT GAIN?:  2 lbs, blaming the holidays :-)


STRETCH MARKS?:  I hope never to see these beautiful things ;)
SLEEP?:  restless, between waking to pee, having an extra visitor occasionally in our bed I continuously toss


Size of baby: gummy bear or kidney bean

Have you told family and friends: family & close friends


Have you started to show yet: I definitely feel big, like I ate too much :(

Gender prediction: Girl


Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy, well I think anyways ;)

BEST MOMENT/S THIS WEEK?:  on Christmas my midwife friend did an ultra sound to see the bean, constant reassurance to help this anxious mama


WORST MOMENT THIS WEEK?:  working Christmas Eve, Christmas and the day after

MISS ANYTHING?:  my summer Shandy beer


MOVEMENT?:  Baby is moving, but too small to feel anything yet!

FOOD CRAVINGS?:  I just want to EAT, then after 2 bites I'm full...gotta love left overs


LABOR SIGNS?:  No and hopefully not for a very long time.

SYMPTOMS / MOODS?:  occasional nausea but once I get over laziness and get out of bed to eat this subsides.  I'm perfectly pleasant all the time...just ask my husband.  LOL


BELLY BUTTON IN or OUT?:  In, along with my belly button ring, which I really need to take out since I'm not 16 anymore!


WEDDING RINGS OFF or ON?: On.

LOOKING FORWARD TO...?:  Telling Kaylee, she thinks she knows but we have not confirmed.  We know she will be thrilled but can't stand her heart to break again.

I guess I should get out of bed, get dressed and enjoy my day with Kaylee ;)

Officially there is a HEARTBEATing inside me ;)

I was SO nervous going to see Dr. Whitten...I even told him so!  He did see a cyst but said it was to be expected with this ovulation because it has been awhile.  12.12.12 we a great day but then I was off to a Christmas party with my co-workers.  Do you know how hard it is to hide the fact you are NOT drinking from people when you are not ready for the world to know you are pregnant?!  I'm glad they became too intoxicated to notice my margarita was a virgin one and not nearly as yummy as the 1800 tequila my husband add to all of his!  Chris is move vocal about not telling people but I'm horrible at keeping my mouth shut.  Today I was 6 weeks 4 days with a due date of 8.3.13.  I'm praying this kid can stay and cook a long 39 weeks....off to bed.  Please pray for us :)

third time's a charm...

Nov 14-I had my first appointment with Dr whitten the fertility specialist who performed an Ultrasound and thought he saw something abnormal, he wanted to come back 12/12/12 for another ultrasound.  He saw mature eggs but still not ovulating.  " you should get your period in a week or two!"  Talk about depressing!  he decided to redraw blood and see if there is any problems
Nov 28-12 vials of blood drawn per Dr Whittens request
Nov 29-talking to my trainer, I mentioned I'm not losing weight though I've been diligent about getting fit, still no period...
Nov 30-POSITIVE PREGNANCY TEST :-)  blood test showed hcg +1400.  I should be excited but now I'm nervous because my hcg is higher with this pregnancy at 2 weeks than with my last 2 pregnancies.  This could mean the egg is in the wrong spot, I have a chemical pregnancy or there is more than 1 baby :-)  I get the pleasure of starting progesterone suppositories...oh joy :p

Dec  3-hcg +4900, viable pregnancy :-)   my friend who is an ultrasound technician confirms a gestational sac
Dec 9-so that's the last 3 weeks of our lives, cautiously optimistic...

If we haven't told you yet, please don't say anything!  Pray for this new baby, we have a healthy & happy pregnancy with a baby who sticks with us
