Another doctor appointment today!

Today I had another appointment with the OB. I was seeing another doctor in the practice because my doctor was on vacation. I was a little nervous...I had never seen any other doctor besides my own, but she was awesomely wonderful. She answered all my questions and gave me some ideas to help with my sinus congestion. She tried to find le bebe's heartbeat with a doppler, but it was a no go....which means another u/s for me!! I lie down on the table and the tech starts the u/s. Every time she would move the wand over my tummy and press down to get a good picture of the baby, s/he would kick and wiggle and spin away. It was like there was a "no pictures please" sign in there. The little one is becoming more like me all the time, definitely camera shy. I was doing all I could not to crack up...and now I am counting down the time to where I can feel those kicks and moves. I got my next appointment scheduled, and the big u/s scheduled....I cannot wait for January!! Going to be sooo exciting!

Damn it is cold in here!

Seriously I cannot wait until this weekend when DH can put in the new digital thermostat. I am hoping it will help keep the temperature more consistent....I am now layering at home....and I never ever layer. I am too fat for multiple clothes. It is crazy in here with the temperature control. The worst part of the deal is that eventually I will get too warm, and then I will start to get nauseous. Spending the better part of your day feeling like you are going to freeze to death or vomit is not a good feeling.

Gosh and I was doing so well.

Not feeling horrible, not having any adverse issues....and then today I started having some palpitations...and no silly nurse lady I know I am too early to feel the baby move, it was my heart palpitating. So she double booked me an appointment to see my doctor, and now I am feeling pretty nervous. I am sure that things are fine, and maybe this was just a fluke or some random thing, but I cannot help but feel uneasy. So tomorrow I will go in and see what she has to say. We have also gone to St. V's and toured the facility, and tonight we are going to Toledo. I wanted to do this early so I didn't feel rushed to make a decision later. I am not sure this is going to be an easy decision, but I will feel better once I see both units and weigh all the options.

So now I am pissed off.

I really have had it with being in this house. My in-laws are dragging ass on getting prepared to move. They were supposed to move in two weeks, but now it has been pushed back until December. And there is no sign of packing to be seen. There are countless boxes of junk in closets and whatever that could be gone through and disposed of....but no movement whatsoever. It is really getting frustrating. I sometimes think that now that the plans have been set, they have changed their tune, and don't really want to move. I know I sound like a whiney brat, but I feel like I have been very patient, it is hard having 4 adults in one space. This is just a hard time right now being so close to having a home of my own, and having to wait.

Otherwise things have been alright. I have had my good days and my not so good days. Morning sickness is a cruel joke and a term made up by a man to trivialize the issues of pregnant women. I have been sick all day long, an underlying nausea that tags along with me everywhere I go. I have tried every trick in the book, and while there are a few that help curb the feelings, it never goes away completely. I thought I liked ginger, but in reality, not really. But damn it if it doesn't seem to help me. I know that it could be much worse, but I look forward to the day when I can wake up without feeling like harfing every moment. LOL

A picture!

It's a little person in there, and he or she is doing great! They checked the heartbeat and it was 170, which is good. The doctor said everything was great, and I go back in 4 weeks.

Ok so I am a horrible blogger.

But really you need to cut me some slack, I never thought I would ever have a reason to be blogging in the first place. So I have to tell you about the appointment on Monday. We got there, and like I figured, we got right in to see the Ultrasound lady, and we had our first look at the little monkey. There was definitely a little blip in there, but it was so tiny that she was unable to give us a due date. Therefore, I go back in two weeks for another u/s and hopefully by then we can see the heartbeat and see more of the little bean. Even though she assured me that it was probably fine, I cannot help but feel nervous about things until I see the heartbeat flashing up on the screen and she can get a good date on our little person in there. The doctor saw me after we sat for a million hours (or so it seemed) and after we had talked with the billing lady about the joy of paying the bills. Good thing we have insurance. I am already on watch for gestational diabetes, and had to have a 1 hour glucose test done, as well as my initial prenatal testing. I have a feeling no matter what I do, I will end up with GD and be higher risk. That however does not mean that I am not trying to follow all the rules and eating (mostly) healthy. My husband was a trooper, and sat with me the whole appointment...even the icky parts..haha. He did blanch a little when I asked him (as he was pacing about in the little room) not to go near the table where they had the pap test things lying out for the doctor. I did not expect him to stay, I was going to have him go out in the waiting area, but he kept rather busy writing down the answers to the questions that we had for the doctor.
It was a long day and by the end of it I was ready to pass out. Thank heavens for a decent night sleep.

Since I said I would do it....

Thats right...I am pregnant. Although most of you all know this, because there are not many people who know about this blog. But I promised to update here and start my pregnancy blogging. I am 6 weeks pregnant today. I have been super tired, and just recently have been feeling sick during the day. J. my hubby is way too excited, and well to be truthful, so am I. This was cycle three in which we were really really hoping to conceive and it happend. Monday is my first appointment and after I go and talk to the doctor, I will post another update.
