One of my Midwives, Sherry, called me yesterday and told me that my labs came back totally clear, so most likely I just have a cervix that bleeds easier then most peoples, and just to take it easy. Sherry is Super nice, and I am sooooooo happy with my new office.
Nick and I are headed to Texas this weekend for what I guess you could call our babymoon :), and I am sooooooo excited to see my Brother and Sister in Law, and my 2 awesome Nephews!!! We decided to drive, because plane tickets are too expensive, but I am not really looking forward to the 20 hr drive. Hopefully my nausea stays away for the car ride, and the whole trip for that matter. Now that I'm in my second tri it should start getting better. We plan on just relaxing for the week, and spending some quality time with my brother and his family because we don't get to see them very often.
My mom sent me some of her old maternity clothes today, and it was fun to glance through them real quick this morning before I went to work. I will have to have a little fashion show for Nick sometime to show him all of my new vintage Maternity outfits lol. She also gave me my old baby's first year calendar, which will be really fun to have and be able to compare to how my baby grows and changes its first year.
Well, that's all I have to report right now, prob wont post again until I get back from vacation next weekend. Until then...

Extra Dr. appointment to calm my nerves!
I went back to the Dr. today because I have been having some spotting recently, but everything turned out fine. The baby's heart rate was 155, and you could even hear the little peach moving around on the doppler. My midwife said I might just have a little infection so I will find out my lab results tomorrow or friday. She also said that my pee showed I was really dehydrated, so she told me I really needed to work on drink more water. But at least I know my baby is doing well. I posted that I was pregnant on facebook for the first time today, so thats exciting. I figured that since Im now technically in my second trimester and I got to hear the baby's heart beat again today that it was safe. Well thats all for now!
Baby Bump at 13 Weeks!

Random stuff
I had a Dr. appointment on Tuesday with my new office, and I really like it there. I am now going to Couri & Teverbaugh's office, but I have decided to be on the midwife panel. My first Appointment was with Sue Lang, and she was super nice. I got to hear the baby's heart beat again which was really awesome, and she said everything looked good. I had some questions for her because I had been having some breathing trouble, and a few aches and pains here and there, but she wasn't worried by any of it. She said the aches and pain are just normal growing pains, and the breathing could be a lot of things, but she did have them run an extra test on my blood to make sure nothing is up with my thyroid since I have a rapid heart rate. I go back for another check up in 4 weeks.
As for my pregnant body, my belly is definitely starting to show. All my pants are getting snug in the belly, and I am mostly wearing dresses, stretchy pants, or sweat pants because anything other then that is just uncomfortable. I plan on getting some maternity pants very soon, probably this weekend if I have time to go shopping. My boobs are still sore, and sometime I feel like someone is poking me in the boob with a needle and its really annoying when it happens. I have also started making midnight trips to the bathroom, and when I do get up in the middle of the night to pee, the morning sickness kicks in and then I have a hard time falling back to sleep. My back has been bothering me a little more, so I am having a hard time getting comfortable in bed, but for the most part it doesn't stop me from sleeping which is good because I am already tired all the time. One AWESOME thing that pregnancy has done to my body... my finger nails are AMAZING!!!! I have never had nice finger nails, they have always been very weak, and they peel and break off so I can never get them long. NOW they are healthy, and stronger, and getting rather long, now I just wish I had the money to spend on a manicure...lol :)
I found out tonight that my uncle proposed to his girlfriend, and I am super excited! They have decided to get married in bloomington ( my hometown just an hour away from where I live now) sometime between when the baby is born, and may when my brother starts back at work, which they planned so that Nick and I wont have to travel with a newborn ( they live in Florida so if they would of done it there we wouldn't of been able to go). I am super excited for them, and I can't wait for the wedding ( its going to be a very exciting spring!!!!!!)
Well I guess thats all for now...until next time...

Pregnant and in a band...
So I have my first show tonight with the 42's since being pregnant. It is going to be very strange not drinking anything at a show, not that I am an alcoholic, but having a drink or 2 just kinda goes along with playing in a band ( especially if its free! lol). Also I noticed at band practice the other day, I felt the vibrations from the music a lot more in my tummy then I normally do, and it kinda made me feel sick. Hopefully it was just cuz I hadn't eaten dinner, and I won't notice it tonight, because it is going to be one LONG night if I feel sick the whole time. For now since I am not really showing yet, I don't think I will feel to out of place playing in the band, but I think I might start to feel a little weird once I have a giant prego belly if I'm up on stage singing " I love rock n roll" and " Love shack" and playing Centerfold....lol. Maybe it won't be that bad, maybe it will make it more fun...who knows, I guess I will just have to wait and see!

Everything is Wonderful
Tuesday Aug 10, 2010
We had our Dr. appointment today, and everything went great. We got to see and hear the baby's heartbeat, and see the tiny little baby ( only about 4mm right now) I am sooo thrilled, after everything that has happened this week, I can't believe that everything is fine, and I have a healthy baby growing inside me. I am soooooo excited to begin this journey. We just told Nick's Parents and Brother today, and they are all very happy and excited for us. We told his sister and brother in law on saturday night while they were still in town ( they live in colorado so we wanted to tell them in person). We plan on telling my family this sunday when we meet them all for dinner while my uncle is in town. It's kinda early to tell people but because of all the problems I was having I had an ultrasound a lot earlier then most women, and the Dr. said that once you see the heart beat and if everything looks good ( which it did for me) the chance of miscarriage goes down to only 5%, so we feel pretty safe telling at least our families. I would like to start telling our friends, but Nick said we should wait until we are done telling our families first so they don't end up hearing it from someone else.
As for my body this week, I am still feeling quite nauseous, and for most of the day food just doesn't sound good, especially if I have to make it myself for some reason. My boobs are kinda tender, but I don't feel like they have grown very much. I have been very bloated so I bought a bella band today so I can wear my jeans and work pants comfortably. I haven't tried it yet but I think I will give it a shot tomorrow. I am very tired for a lot of the day, and I feel myself getting moodier as every day passes, and I am trying very hard not to get to moody with Nick. I am peeing all the time, and I don't know if it is from being pregnant or my UTI or a little of both. I am trying to keep myself hydrated, but it can be hard to do when I don't want anything in my stomach. Well I guess that is all for now. I am an another appointment in 4 weeks so I am sure I will have more to share then. ttfn
Still A Little Worried
Friday August 6, 2010
So wednesday when I was at work around 4:30 I started cramping worse then I ever had. I grabbed my phone out of my purse and ran to the bathroom. it hurt really bad so I called my husband to see what I should do, he told me to try and calm down and wait it out, that it would pass... it didn't...I puked, and almost passed out because the pain was sooo bad, I started getting really scared so I called my Dr and they told me I should go the the ER and get an ultrasound to make sure I didn't have an ectopic pregnancy (my worst nightmare). My husband came and picked me up, and by then I was feeling a little better, but I was still freaking out. we got there and got checked in peed in a cup and waited, and waited, and waited. We waited 2 1/2 hours before the Dr even came in to see me, and all he did was listen to my heart and feel my belly, and said he would be back. so we waited and waited and waited some more, then they moved me to a different room so he could do a pelvic exam, they cam and drew my blood so they could test my hcg levels to see if it would be worth it to do an ultrasound. He did the pelvic exam and said my cervix was nice and closed but it looked a little irritated. My blood work came back after a couple hours, and my levels were high enough to get an ultrasound. Then we waited 2 more hours to get an ultrasound, during which the tech didn't say a word ( I was hoping for at least a "here is your baby"...nothing) and then waited another 1/2 hour for the dr. to come in and tell me it's not ectopic( really good news!!), but they had a hard time seeing the fetal pole ( the baby) and that could mean that it isn't developing ( or that i miscarried) so I have to go back tuesday to my regular OB and get another ultrasound and check my levels to see if the baby is growing. They also confirmed that I have a UTI which could be causing my cramps ( but my body is telling be something different). The only good news was that my yolk sac did confirm that I am 6 weeks. I am sooo worried that I have miscarried, and I would really appriciate any and all prayers. Thanks...

Kinda Scary But I'm Trusting in God
Tuesday August 3, 2010
So I have only known I was pregnant for a week, but I have been camping for about 2 weeks now. My cramps have been pretty severe, so I called my Dr. yesterday because I was concerned. They decided they wanted me to come is asap to see if I have a UTI, and they also bumped my 1st ultrasound up 2 weeks earlier then originally planned. They did really say I should be worried, but I am. I have a history of endometriosis and ovarian cysts, so I am worried that maybe that is affecting my pregnancy. I read online ( which I think I should just stop reading things online) that a history of endometriosis can make you more likely to have an ectopic pregnancy, in which case I would lose my baby. Anyone thats reads this I would appreciate your prayers, as I continue to try to give this up to God.
