Baby's first photo

Well, thankfully, as you can see, there's something in there!

Our little flower measured in at 2 days ahead with a healthy heart rate of 159 bpm.

We've been released to our OB.

Our first OB appointment is November 6.

Thank you God!

Oh and if morning sickness is any indication of a healthy baby....then we've got a winner! I feel like crap morning, noon and night! Loving it of course but my word. Ginger ale is my new best friend. Any suggestions to help ease the queasiness would be greatly appreciated.

One day at a time.

A quick note...

We had a third beta today. They wanted to see numbers between 3000-7000. It was 7201.

Our first ultrasound is scheduled for October 20. We'll be 6w6d.

I'm doing good. Hungry and tired alot. And trying my best not to read into every little feeling I have. It's hard tho. I've never had a full term pregnancy. I don't know what things are supposed to feel like. The unknown can drive one crazy!!

Oh and I'm sick. I broke down and went to the doc. I've got a sinus and ear infection. After confirming with 3 doctors that amoxicillin was safe to take...I'm now on the med.

One day at a time.

Yay for numbers!

After waiting FOREVER (Blood was drawn at 8 am, the office closes at 5 pm) they finally called with the 2nd beta results (at 4:45 pm!)


They wanted to see numbers in the 700s.


We got 947!


WOOT!! WOOT!!


Grow Flower Grow!!

Our first ultra sound will be in 2 weeks. I call Monday to make that appointment.

I've heard hormones can make you want to eat crazy things. I can only assume that's why I just had to have this crazy big turkey leg from Busch Gardens?! :o)

One day at a time...

That's our new motto.

It's all we can do.

The drs visit was short and sweet. I didn't even see the doc...just a super sweet nurse who took my blood for the beta and progesterone tests. She did her best to ease my mind about the spotting. She said some spotting and light cramping is normal and to try not to worry (easier said than done). She suggested if it continues or gets heavier to use a suppository in the morning as well as the one at night.

****

The nurse just called with the blood tests results.

It's official - WE'RE PREGNANT!

At 14dpo our beta is 179 and progesterone is 42. She told me this morning they wanted them to be atleast 50 and 10 so this is good.

I go back Friday at 8 am for a second test to make sure the numbers are rising as they should.

So until we hear otherwise....I'm over the moon happy! (And scared to death!)

Thank you all for being so supportive! It helps more than you know! Thank you!!

Why?

I'm spotting.

Just noticed it about an hour ago. Little bit of very light pink on the tissue.

Going to the doc in the morning.

Pray.
