Blood Anyone?

Okay so last night was horrific, I kept waking up with terrible stomach cramping on and off all night. This morning I woke up feeling like a zombie and was super nauseous, so I finally called in sick for the first time and they told me to go ahead and come in for an appointment (I hate sounding like a baby crier). So I came in and I took my mom with me and they said that it could be that it's getting worse so Dr. Barnes had me go in for an ultrasound to make sure the baby was okay first. The baby has grown so much in just 4 days, and guess what? The heart rate went up to 130 today. My mother joked around about how the baby looked like Patrick Star from Spongebob Squarepants *lol* Now the measurements say baby is 7 weeks and 4 days! We should get an accurate measurement in 2 more weeks.

Now to the serious part..

Vampires came out..it was time to draw my blood again :( So okay I had 2 tubes of blood and he also wanted me to have a blood culture and boy its weird..its like glass jars of some kind and they have to draw out 2 bottles and repeat it in 30 minutes. Well, as we all know I'm a super hard stick so they had trouble finding my veins in total I got stuck 5 times today..and not only that I had to get a shot on my bum!! I'm telling you today was not good.

But I get to be off of work today and tomorrow..I surely hope that everything is fine Thursday when I return back to the office.

Till then keep me in your prayers.

Buuurp

Okay so I have been burping up the most ugliest tasting thing [EVER] it tastes like rotten seafood. I've been having this for the past uhm 2 weeks? But yesterday was the worst, I had it all day..including the "D" word. I was so sick yesterday it was not fun at all. Today when I went into work I told my doctor that I had been burping up that ugly taste and he said that he needed to see me right away. So I went into the room and he said that it COULD be that I have a pouch of food stuck that is rotting and that's what the taste is coming from. I told him the rest of my symptoms and he said it didn't sound right. I just figured I was getting sick from the pregnancy. He made a phone call to a Gastroneurologist who said that it could get worse as my pregnancy continues (oh no!) He perscribed me a couple of medications that I have to take an hour before meals to see if it helps. If not I might need to get an Upper GI Endoscopy done :( I'm hoping and praying that everything will work itself out with medications. I would really hate to have such complications with my first pregnancy, I've never had to do anything like this before.

*sigh* I'm going to shower and go to sleep...I'm trying to not stress out about it so much.

First Appointment

eee! I'm excited! Today was my first visit and let me tell you its HARD to fast, I wanted water so bad. The visit went very well :) I finally got to hear the baby's heartbeat♥ it was truly amazing. I'm surprised I didn't cry (I'm such a baby) I also found out that I'm about 6 weeks and 5 days and my EDD is May 17, 2009..which is our 3 year anniversary! I will be going back next Friday for my lab results lets *cross our fingers* and hope everything comes out normal. Could you believe I've gained 2 lbs in a week? I need to watch what I'm putting in my mouth. Ohh and today I didn't get nauseous either YAY!



Well I'm going to go to my parents house and show them my pictures :>
goodbye

Nervous

I'm extremely nervous because tomorrow I'm going to have my first prenatal visit :> I can't wait to see if the baby has grown! I have to go fasting tomorrow at 8:00 a.m. I'm going to have my pelvic exam and my prenatal profile work up, I hope everything comes out normal.

I need to stress how much I have been nauseous its terrible! I can't eat anything without getting sick so I have been eating plenty of fruit :) Also, I've noticed that I never want to wake up in the morning *lol* I have at LEAST five alarms on my phone so I can wake up.

Well, that's all for now I will post updates tomorrow as well as my ultrasound pictures.


till then..

First Ultrasound

Today was my very first ultrasound and boy was I nervous! It turns out I'm not as far along as I thought. Actually, I only have a gestational sac with no baby showing yet. My doctor said I could be between 4-5 weeks, we will try another ultrasound in 2 weeks. I did a little research on the internet and it said that between 4-5 weeks they are too small to be visualized by sonography. Hopefully we will be able to see something very soon..it will be so amazing!

So now we play the waiting game again for the next two weeks :)

I'm Pregnant!

I just found out exactly 1 week ago that I'm going to be a mommy for the first time! I'm currently 6 weeks and 5 days according to my LMP. It's so weird how in a matter of 3 minutes your whole life can be flipped upside down. I mean it didn't cross my mind for two seconds that I would be carrying a little baby in my tummy. I had been having cramps for the past 2 weeks and I hadn't started my cycle so my boss told me to take a pregnancy test (I work for an OB/GYN) so I went and collected a sample of urine and took it to her. As soon as I got out I went to look at the test and it was negative and so I laughed and said "I knew I wasn't" well of course it takes 3 minutes for the test to give the result so when I went back to dump my urine I saw that the test was positive! I started crying and asking if they were playing a joke on me..and sure enough it wasn't a joke. So then I called my sisters and my mother and told them the news, everyone seemed to be happy about it. BUT I knew I had to break it to Isidro in a very nice way since it's our first child (and it wasn't planned). I went to the store and bought him a rattle and put my pregnancy test in the bag along with my proof of pregnancy paper. Of course he didn't take it easy (who would?). We didn't seem so convinced about it so I went and bought 2 more tests to make sure that it was real..and yeah it's real.

So now that we are up to date on the news I must say everything is going great and we have finally accepted it :) I'm so happy and I can't wait for my first OB visit hopefully by then I will be 8 weeks and we can hear our baby's heartbeat♥
