10 weeks, 2 days
Less than two weeks to go before the end of the first trimester!!! Yahoo!!!
I cannot complain. Although there have been days when I said I would never do this again, in retrospect, the morning sickness has not lasted but more than a few weeks. I am really beginning to feel good… with the exception of belching and a lot of gas. Hardly any more nausea though. The smells still make me gag, however.
Last Thursday, two days after my first appointment, I had a little scare. I woke up in the morning early to get ready for work and when I sat on the toilet, noticed some brown spotting. Now keep in mind that I never even had implantation spotting… so this really freaked me out. I had to sit there, take some deep breaths, and try not to be too scared. I debated staying home from work but decided it would be better to keep my mind off things by staying busy. Besides, my doctor’s office is walking distance from where I work… I could easily walk over there if they wanted to see me.
I called their office as soon as they opened and left a message for the nurse to call me. Much to my surprise, she called within 20 minutes. After much discussion, it was decided that I would take it easy, not worry about it much (considering the u/s looked GREAT two days prior). I was to call if the spotting turned to bleeding or I developed cramping. If that happened, they would definitely do another u/s. Lucky for me, the spotting subsided by the evening and has not recurred. I still feel VERY pregnant and am not even concerned about it anymore. But, it did scare me. I think I’m gonna be nervous about a lot of things until I’m holding my little peanut in my arms. Then I will have a lot MORE to be worried about! Oh… it’s true… mothers never stop worrying do they? I think I am getting a small taste of what my mom has gone through all these years.
Two days ago, DH just couldn’t wait any longer… he cleaned out the office (combined it with my craft room)! I now have an empty room with beautiful walls. We went to Home Depot last night and found some borders that we really liked. We already have the wall coloring… just need to paint and put up the borders! It’s going to look really cute I think! It was fun for us to be able to go and do that last night.
Well… I’m hoping to be moved to the PG diaries SOON… I have noticed that all my PG buddies here have up and left me… Amy, Cindy, Tracy, Jackie, Leslie… all of them… and I’m still here!!!! I hope they haven’t forgotten me!!
My next appointment is July 10… I should be able to hear the heartbeat at that appointment and I am really, really looking forward to it. Seeing it was miraculous, but I’m really ready to HEAR it now! I will have another u/s in about two months… where we SHOULD be able to see if we are having a boy or a girl. DH is really excited to be there for that!
Well, I guess that’s it for now. As I said, I’m hoping to move over the PG diaries this week… PLEASE come over and follow along with me there! I will continue to follow along here too! Take care everyone… lots of baby dust coming your way…
