Dr. appointment Yesterday went...

"Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and focus on what could go right!" Unknown

  

Had my appointment with my new Dr yesterday! Everything was going really well she was asking me a bunch of questions and then she got to my pregnancy history. I had to tell her about my previous miscarriage and that I found out at 8 weeks but opted out of a D&C and my body held onto that pregnancy till I was about 12 weeks. Right away she asked me if I would be interested in getting an ultrasound this week, of course I said yes! But she then said well lets try and find the Heartbeat first (knowing I have a doppler at home and have found the heartbeat before). She could not find the heartbeat she actually could not hear anything!

This freaked me out and she could tell just by looking at me so she booked me for an ultrasound for today at 2:30. I felt like my whole life was about to come crashing down. I was so scared driving to that ultrasound I did everything I could not to cry.

I went into my ultrasound so nervous. And to top off how nervous I was because it was not planned John had no time to get it off work (which I totally understand) so I went alone. Oh and I had to pee soo bad I thought I may pee my pants! The ultrasound tech said my bladder was so full I was squishing the baby and asked me to go pee, 3 different times, till I had emptied it enough lol. She found baby measuring 10wks 3days! So due Oct 19th!! As well as a VERY strong heartbeat beating away at 157bpm! :D Such good news today!! They also gave me a picture to bring home to John! :D 

So I have decided that I need to try and chill out and stop thinking something is wrong all the time. This baby is here and here to stay! Plus I am almost out of the first trimester!!! :)

Oh and to add to all this awesome news I am starting to feel awesome too! so....

Told my parents!!!

"A grandchild fills the empty space in your heart that you never knew you had!" Unknown

So my parents have no grand kids yet this will be their first! I wanted to tell them a special way and well because they live in BC I didn't just call them so lots of people (both families) knew before they did. After what happened last time I wanted to make sure that this time there was no disappointed at all so tell them in person was something I really wanted to do!

We drove to BC for what they thought was a snowboarding trip for John and his friend Leo who came with us. I told them I wasn't going because I wanted to go see Katie, a friend of mine that lives there. We did a midnight drive so that Leo could come with us when he was done work. I felt so bad for John he had been up all day working and was then going to drive 8 hours. Well the roads and weather was so bad the drive took over 12 hours. Lets just say we were all REALLY tired!

we finally got there but John had been up all night and I had broken sleep from being in the truck so we went to bed. When john got up him and Leo went boarding and I wasn't telling my parents without him so we didn't tell them the first day. Now you have to know that I SUCK at secrets so to be with them and not say anything was hard to say the least LoL. The next day John and Leo went boarding with my brothers and I went into penticton to see Katie so I could avoid my parents all day lol. That night John and I were finally both at the house with my parents so we gave them a little gift that we had got! 



Pretty cute eh?!

My mom screamed like a little school girl and hit my dad over and over again! I video tapped it but I have no idea how to get it off my phone and on to my computer but if I figure it out I will post the video! This will be their first grand baby so I can only imagine how excited they are! :D

I also bought a fetal doppler (the hand held thing the Dr's use to listen to the baby's heart beat) it should be here by Friday this week! This means John and I can listen to the heartbeat whenever we want! And John also cant get lots of time off work and it doesnt make sense to take a day off for a 5 min Dr appointment so now he does not have to miss out on that! :D

Next Ultrasound is scheduled for April 8th! Only 26 days from now! :D Can't wait to see out little monkey again! :D 

Symptom update!

Tired- Yes still tired. I don't think John will ever get used to this either! 

Restlessness- I still can hardly sleep because I cant get comfortable but I bought a pregnancy pillow so hopefully that helps! 

Nausea- Still nauseous but I have been seeing my chiropractor and he has been helping with that a lot! 

Sore Boobs- Still sore and big, John loves this one I hate it lol!

Headaches- I suffer from sever migraines typically and not being able to take anything really, REALLY sucks! But you know what I'll take it and whatever other symptom I get just for this baby!
