all is good!
so all looks good. we had our ultrasound. the technician wasn't too happy with me. i ended up going to the bathroom cause i just couldn't hold it any longer and as soon as she saw the monitor she said 'you have an empty bladder' and said normally we have to reschedule this ultrasound.. but i'll see what i can do. whoops! so she gave a due date of jan 7. she said it's not accurate though because she couldn't take exact measurements because i didn't have a full bladder. we saw the heartbeat and she took it and it was 170 something.. and then we were asking if that's high cause it sounded high and she said it could be a number of things, like if i had something sweet right before going there. she then took the heartrate again after a few minutes and said 'ya, see, now it's at 162, so that's perfectly normal'. we then had our apt with the OB. he gave us his blessing to continue to see the midwife and we don't have to see him anymore. i don't have to take those hormone pills anymore either! YAY! he says i'm pass the miscarriage phase and that everything looks good. he also took the Doppler to my belly too and also found a heartbeat but couldn't tell me what it was cause his didn't show it. so now we're rest assured and can feel a little more comfortable telling people about our happy news! i still feel a little insecure about it all. i remember with jayden as soon as 12 weeks hit we wanted to tell the whole world! i have the same sort of feeling that i want to tell everyone, but i'm still a little scared even after seeing and hearing the heartbeat. maybe i'll never be 100% assured until he/she is born.

12 weeks and 2 days!
So i'm sitting here working and i really need to go pee. i had a lot to drink this morning in preparation for our ultrasound apt. at noon. i went to go pee 3 times so far since 9 this morning. i don't remember whether we are allowed to pee but i really can't hold it. i honestly have to go really really bad again. ugh! i now have a headache too from drinking too much water. lately the nausea has been subsiding a little but i'm still feeling tired. i still wake up in the middle of the night and having to go pee still. last week my nausea was really bad. i worked the morning and then called work and told them i was going to stop working for the rest of the day. it mainly happened either after lunch or dinner when i eat. on the weekend i told my brother and sister in law that i was pregnant. i also told my friend carmen and pauline because they noticed the bump on my belly and it was just so obvious. i think after today's ultrasound i will feel more comfortable telling people. i hope all goes well. we also have our OB apt today at 2. i'm anxious about that as well.. but i'm glad the ultrasound is first. at least i can be rest a little easier after that and not be so anxious waiting for it.

first midwife apt
we just came back from the midwives. we have the same midwife as our second misarriage. she's super super nice. her name is amanda. the meeting was pretty short since we pretty much knew what to expect and had the same answers to the questions. we had a dentist apt at 11:30 and then had lunch and went straight to our midwife apt. i was super hot in the car for some reason... so going into the room to meet amanda again i was super hot and sweaty. gross! amanda recommended we get an ultrasound to date the baby so we could have an exact due date. she said because i only had one period between the miscarriage and this pregnancy it's hard to get an actual date. we were hesitant to have another ultrasound because we don't want to have too many but we decided to get one to get an exact date and to ease my mind a little to make sure all is going well :) m next apt. is 4 weeks from now. i'll 14 weeks by then. i've been pretty much nauseous all day and it's easing off a little now. i really hope after 12 weeks i feel better. i've also been super tired too. i actually pretty tired right now. i haven't taken a progesterone pill yet today because i've run out and haven't had a chance to go refill the prescription. i should do that today.
