6 weeks Pregnant

We are now 6 weeks along, with our first child! I have been really nervous about losing the baby...so I feel like I need to take a test every wk just to make sure he or she is still in there :) Neal says I'm crazy but I really don't want to lose this baby! Well here is what I've been feeling lately....I've been very sleepy lately but I cant get comfortable b/c I'm a tummy sleeper and with my breast changes I cant seem to sleep comfortably. I also have been going to the bathroom at least 2 times every hour and a half...so pretty much I'm peeing all the time! I haven't had any morning sickness but I do feel a little queasy every once in a while. My saliva has been out of control...I feel like I have to spit up something constantly. My # 1 symptom I've been feeling & noticing is the changes in my breast....they are much fuller, extremely tender & they look different!!! As Neal has said I'm very moody...but that isn't too much different then before :) Well my clothes feel a little bit tighter but I was a little bit chunky before we got pregnant...so here is a pic to let you decide.

Confirming the Pregnancy

Since I had taking to home pregnancy test and both came back positive, We thought it was probably best to call the dr. Originally we had a dr appt with Dr. Stiles on July 27th to talk about what I should be eating, how to increase the chances to get pregnant & most of all the get a prescription for Prenatal Vitamins. Also Dr. Stiles doesnt do OBGYN so since I was 99% positive that I was pregnant, I knew that I would have to get a new dr. So I called the Belleville Clinic and told them that I had taken 2 home test & both were positive. So first we cancelled my appt with Dr. Stiles & started looking for the first available appt to get my pee checked out. Well the first one was today at 4, so I took it. Well we arrived and got all checked in and then off I went to the bathroom to give my pee sample. I came back in th waiting room and waited about 20 min & then Joan came in & said to come back. We got to her office and she said the results were positive. She asked me when my last period was & I said June 11th and then she asked if I had already knew the due date and I said yes...March 17th, 2012. She looked at her handy dandy chart and said nope March 19th....Oh well 2 more days I CAN HANDLE THAT!!! So she proceeded to give me a book on what to expect when your expecting and a few brochures for both St. Mary's & Meriter Hospital. Since Neal was sure where his insurance would have us go Joan suggested that he found out. So I schedule my first ultrasound on Aug 22nd with Dr. Bay. So off we left, but as I was driving us home Neal was calling his insurance to find out what hospital they wanted us to go. So after getting cut off due to being in the boonies, Neal got a hold of a guy and he first said Stoughton Hospital....well with my city boy hubby that was not an option. So he asked if either St. Mary's or Meriter were ok....well only St. Mary's was. So now I dont have to decide b/c the decision was made already!! Also come to find out that this Dr. Bay is not available under our insurance , so we looked online and found one. But it was after hrs so I have to wait til tuesday to make an appt. Lets just hope this lil guy or lil girl decides to make it to our 2nd trimester!! Now all I have to do is keep this a secret from all of our families.....yikes!!

We're Expecting!!!

Hi Everyone,

This is my first time blogging so I maybe a lil slow at it. I got this new application for my phone called "My Days"...it pretty much lets me record when my last period was, when we had sex, and it even lets me put in my own lil notes. It also tells you when you are high in fertility, when you ovulate & when to expect your period. Well I was schedule to be to due for my period on Friday July 15th...well that day came & gone without even a clue if it was coming or not. Since my last couple of months were off I thought that is what is going on. Well when Saturday came & gone I just thought well if I dont have it tonight im gonna take a pregnancy test. Well Sunday morning I woke up & got the test already. So I pee'd on it for 5 sec put the cap on and let the test work....I finally took a deep breath & looked and it said the most amazing news "PREGNANT"!!!! So I woke up Neal & asked him if he loved me and he said yes I do!! So I proceeded to shove the test in his face & he perked up and was like wait this cant be right. So I told him I would take it Monday morning...so Monday came & I took it and it was positive. So off I go to tell him & he was nervous but excited at the same time! So today on my break I will be calling the dr to let them know!!
