ultrasound drama
My first ultrasound was a nightmare. The lady that did it was not an ultrasound tech and had me scared to death when she told me that she couldn't see much nor find any cardiac activity...so i was like quivering, worried, no knowing WHAT was going on. I cried the whole day thinking the baby had stopped growing and died. Already I feel attached to this little life inside me, so it had me really worried.
Anyways, I later found out that being only 11 weeks she should have done the ultrasound transvaginaly (in order to get a clearer picture) and not on the abdomen. The lady who did the ultrasound (who was a N.P.) did not even tell me this! She did everything so quick and just left me in the dark about what was going on. So I had to do blood work to check my hcg levels and everything checked out fine - meaning they were increasing. In fact my hcg levels were at 115,000. And being that they are not sure yet how far along I am, the nurse was telling me it could possibly mean that I'm having twins. But I doubt it because they don't run in either of our family. But my sister suspects that I am because my belly is already really firm already... but who knows? I sure don't.. this being my first pregnancy and all.
I go to the hospital for an ultrasound with an actual tech on Monday. After last weeks ordeal I am so ready to see our baby and find out for sure how far along I am.

*yawn*
I have been feeling so sleepy. The past two nights I went to bed at 8pm (compared to 11:30pm - my usual bedtime) It felt so good to get extra sleep although David was kinda disappointed to be up by himself. Even after getting all that sleep I took a nap this afternoon. I couldn't even finish my housework because I was so drowsy. I can't wait to get into my second trimester and have more energy.
Tomorrow is my first ultrasound!! I am so excited. I was supposed to have it done Friday but the technician had a death in her family (her dad) :( So they rescheduled me for the following week which was no biggie for us. Although I can't wait to see the baby. make sure there is just ONE in there! hehe

Fatty Fatty Two by Four
That's how I feel right now. I felt so bloated today and uncomfortable in the jeans I was wearing. I can't get my jeans to button anymore so I bought this little tube top thingy that goes around your waist so that you can leave your pants unzipped/unbuttoned and it seemed to help for a while... but now even it is just uncomfortable and itchy.
So far I haven't gained any weight yet. Although my tummy is looking bigger. I was walking every morning but then the weather got cold and I'm a big baby about exercising in the cold. I'm afraid to get sick. I think I may get a pregnancy work out video to do inside. Denise Austin has one that I'll probably buy on half.com or something.
I looked online for cribs yesterday and I think I want to get a 4-in-1. That seems to be the best buy for the many uses you can get from it.
My first ultrasound is this Friday!!! I can't wait!! I think once I see the baby and get to hear the heart beat it will really start to hit me that I AM PREGNANT! haha
The last two weeks i was in such a irritable mood. I needed an excuse to cry or something but I never did. I just wanted to really bad. I felt a lot better today though. Getting extra sleep helps.

8 wks
I am 8 wks pregnant and so far I have been feeling good. The only symptom I'd have to say that I've felt is just being REALLY tired and sleepy. I had a very busy work week also, so that didn't help the fatigue. I've gotten in bed around 8 every night this week so that was good at least.
Work was wearing on my nerves this week. Must be the hormones because I felt overwhelmed and had to tell myself not to be short or snappy with people. I told one guy that I was moving to Houston, just so I wouldn't have to cut his hair anymore! hahaha he was really weird though, on drugs even. Very rude also. So I wanted to get rid of him. My co-workers didn't blame me; they got a good laugh out of it. hehe
Well, I love my baby already. I loved him/her even before I knew I was pregnant. It is a nervous/excitement that I have about having a child.. more excitement though. It makes me glad to be starting a family with david and see our family grow. :)
