God gave me my Yes!

Baby Is The Size Of A Raspberry

Today was our first OB appt. Papa Son and I went. I met my Dr. for the first time. Nice little lady. Very, very soft spoken.

We went thru the basics: weight, blood pressure, heart rate.

Then came the question... "Have you seen a doctor or did you take a home pregnancy test?" Uh, neither. So into the bathroom I went. Fully confident and nervous all at the same time. Lol! Nervously confident... Oxymoron. I know.

Back in the exam room I was told to get ready for the doctor and she'd be in with us shortly.

Of course Papa Son had questions. Like why I was taking my clothes off and why I was sitting on this wierd table. Thank goodness his line of sight was shielded by the exam table itself.

So in came the Doc. She asked me more questions. The basics. Then she proceeded with my exam. It didn't occur to me, since she never said it, until after my legs were in stirups that my test was POSITIVE!!!

I couldn't help but smile. I knew it, but now it was like really real! A baby! After my euphoric moment it was time for my ultrasound.

This is what we saw:

A little peanut looking thing with a heartbeat. I got a little misty. Papa Son was pretty jazzed! He's gonna be a Big Brother!



Baby is measuring two days earlier than my LMP calculates, but we're keeping the EDD according to my cycle. Which puts us at 8 weeks in measurement, but I'll be 8 weeks Wednesday.






So we're having another May baby!

Missing my Mom

I don't know about most women, but for me, my mom is my best friend.

She moved to FL when I was 4 months pregnant with my first child. I was devastated. That was 7 years ago. I've since had a 2nd and am currently pregnant with my 3rd.

I find that my heart breaks when I really allow myself to think about the fact that she's not here with me. I need her. I'm hoping she will be able to come out soon after the baby's born.

Anyway, just another one of those pregnant in the moment feelings.

Just need a place to talk about it...

 

Baby Is The Size Of A BLUEBERRY

 

I'm 7 weeks today! I'm totally overjoyed! 

I thought I would be shouting it from the rooftops, but for some reason this time, I'm not so informative. I've found people are noticing my bump and asking me. Thank goodness the answer is yes. LOL!

We've told some of our close friends. I've told my parents and my SIL. But that's about it. All of which are very excited for us. My SIL is 8 weeks ahead of me. That's always fun. We're tag teaming again. With our sons we were 7 months apart.

There are so many things running through my head this go 'round. I don't want to overwhelm DH or anyone else with all my thoughts. I just need a place to talk about it. 

I can't sleep. I'm exhausted. I'm cramping slightly. My lower back hurts. I've NEVER experienced morning sickness, but this time have had bouts of nausea. My belly is showing more like I'm 4 months (IMHO). I've had these really strange, incredibly vivid dreams. Etc, etc.

Like I said, I'm really happy about this. What a blessing it is! God is AWESOME and never ceases to amaze me.

I just need a place to talk about it. A place to journal my experience without judgement.
