1st Docs Appt...

Well today was the first docs visit. I calculated that I am 5wks 6 days as of today but when the Doc did the Sonogram he said I am closer the 5 weeks than I am 6. He said a good 4-5 days off. It was a vaginal Sonogram. We saw my Uterus! There was a sack in my uterus! Also there was something faintly showing up inside the sack! He said, that may be the baby but it is just too soon to tell! That's kind of scary but I understand it being too early!
He scheduled me an appt. for August 12, 2 weeks out and said we should know more then! 
I asked if it was bad? He said if it was bad, I would most likely be bleeding already. He said if I wanted to think negatively, it could be early Fetal Demise and it could have stopped growing at 5 or so weeks. It's still too early to tell. So he said the Sonogram in 2 weeks will tell if it's grown or not!
I also told him I thought I knew my conception date and he said you never know conception dates based on sex days because you can conceive within 4-5 days after sex! So that could be my 4-5 days off!
I've read a lot of horror stories online & I have also read a lot of positive stuff. Positive such as 5 weeks and a couple days is just to early to have a sonogram and after 6 weeks is better!
I am hoping a praying that it is just what the doctor says and that it's just too early. I'm hoping and praying that it's a sticky bean and it's healthy!
We will see in 2 weeks.
I looked back on early ultrasounds I had of Jakey, and the earliest was 6wks 5 days! So that eased my mind a little. 
I am still constipated, I have tons of gas. Lower back pain, headaches, breast tenderness on & off. Abdominal twinges, not quite cramps anymore. I was super nauseated this morning before I ate, then it went away while I ate, then it hit me again and I had to stop eating.
So I still have some pregnancy symptoms so I'm trying not to panic. My friend said as far as we are concerned it is a normal healthy pregnancy, just too soon yet, & not to worry until there is something to worry about!
Until next time...

5 Weeks & 3 Days...

How I am feeling... Well yesterday, was kind of scary. I had a bit of spotting and I was crampy. The spotting was only one restroom incidence and very scant. I was having aversions to all food, I didn't eat until like 4pm. I was nauseated at the thought of eating. I drank so much water though. 
Today, I feel slightly crampy still, I know
It's common in the beginning of pregnancy, it's just a scary symptom! I've been dizzy, had heartburn, my boobs hurt so bad I can't even lay on my stomach, I feel like I'm starving, like I need to carb load! I'm tired, but have energy if that makes sense? I pee a whole lot, because I've been drinking tons of water, seriously, been through 3 cases of water in the last 4 days! I have lower back pain, but mostly in part of being Constipated! I go between being constipated and having diarrhea... TMI I know it! Nobody reads my blog anyways, more if a personal journal anyways!
But yes my first appt. to confirm my pregnancy and give a a due date and all is Monday at 2:20! It still seems so far from now, being Friday! The anticipation drives me crazy. I'm a worrier. So I have been a mental case! Worrying and stressing out and thinking the worse. I've never waited so long to see a doctor after finding out I was pregnant. I've always seen the doctor the next day! Have I mentioned how crazy I've been? Mood swings like crazy! Happy, sad, laughing, crying, up and down... It's crazy. At the flip of a switch/drop of a hat! :) Hopefully my hormones will level out soon. I cried watching the movie The Incredibles with the kids, watching Despicable Me right now, laughing so hard, but it will probably make me cry too! Also, this may sound weird, but my hair, it's so luscious and full & soft & silly & hardly falling out anymore at all! I'm use to showering and at the end of the shower I have a handful of hair that fell out! So I've been pretty happy with my hair, I haven't styled it, it's just thrown in a ponytail but I'm loving it!
So anyways, I'm trying to enjoy everything this pregnancy, savoring it in a way! I want to give birth naturally with no epidural. I want to labor at home as long as I can and hope my water breaks at home on its own, as the doctors have always had to pop it for me! I want to experience everything.. Full on. Head on. As this will be my last pregnancy & child, so long as all goes well! :)
Til next rant...

3rd Times A Charm!

We just found out that we are expecting Baby #3!<3 
We are very excited & are feeling very blessed. 

I'm only about 5 weeks 1 day, estimating my due date to be on or around March 25th, 2014! It's very early, I know... I just couldn't wait, I was so excited, I was bursting at the seams! 

My LMP was June 18th, 2013.
I conceived on or around July 2nd, 2013, but of course, I didn't know!

On July 16th, 2013, 4 days before my Period was due, I spotted. I blamed my friend Stephanie! Haha, I told her that hanging out with her was screwing up my cycle! She said maybe I was screwing hers up! Lol... I thought my period was coming 4 days early. So I thought, oh I need some tampons! My mom and I picked up a box of tampons the next day when we went shopping at Walmart. Well then I started noticing, they were still sitting on my shelf. 

Come the 20th, we had a celebration for my sons 4th birthday! We had a swim party, my period was due and I thought it would ruin my swimming fun. Well it didn't show up, which was nice for it  not to interrupt my swimming.

Well I was crampy, had spotted, my boobs hurt so bad, lower back pain, cravings for sweets & salty. I thought I was pmsing I thought my period was just going to be a little late. Then I started stressing myself out about it. My period had been exactly on time for a couple years. So instead of dreading on it and over thinking it all, on the 21st I went to the Dollar Tree and picked up a test just to ease my mind. 

Came home and there was definitely a faint positive! My friend had an inaccurate false positive on a Dollar Tree test before, so I decided to head to the drugstore and pick up a digital Clear Blue Easy! BFP! Pregnant it read! 
I was thrilled, excited, nervous! We called and told our families and of course, I can't wait to spread news like that doin posted on my Facebook already!!! We are truly blessed. A baby is definitely a blessing!<3

So as of now the symptoms I am experiencing, dull achey cramps, constipation, indigestion/heartburn, super sore breasts, mood swings like crazy, very little nausea/uneasiness, a little dizziness, peeing a lot!
This morning was almost morning sickness! I walked into my bathroom and smelled my husbands stinky dirty cheese factory work clothes, I almost blew chunks everywhere! I had to have him put them in the washing machine for me! I couldn't do it, lol. 

Well I made my first Baby Doctor Appointment for Monday, July 29th, 2013! This will confirm the pregnancy & give me more exact due date and how far along I am and everything!

I will try to keep blogging throughout my pregnancy, as if keeping a pregnancy journal! :) 
It's exciting for me to be able to document my journey!


The above was the first faint Positive Dollar Tree HPT!
