Double Digits!!!

OMG I am 10 weeks today!! I can't believe its been 4 weeks since I last updated!! I finally switched doctors, so I went to the new doctor today, and loved them! I am so glad I switched! We got to see the baby today too! It is so crazy how much the baby changed in 3 weeks! When I went to the doctor at 7 weeks it looked like a little blob, but today like a little gummy bear! The nurse said everything looked good, and she was able to pick up a heartbeat from the doppler! I think my husband was amazed when we were looking at the ultrasound and the baby was moving around! The heartbeat was in the 150s. I have been feeling ok, a little nausea here and there, and some gagging, but overall I feel like I've been pretty lucky. I have a little sciatic nerve pain, but that is only when I'm laying on my back for a long time.
We just got back from our cruise a week or so ago, I'll have to post about that later.
So, here are some pictures of me at 9 weeks, I look a little bloated!

6 weeks and Superman

I'm six weeks today, but still don't seem very pregnant. My chest is a little sore, and I'm tired, but still no nausea or morning sickness. I'm trying so hard to be positive, but its so hard when you just don't feel pregnant. I'm sure I should feel very lucky to not be sick at this point, but I just need some reassurance that things are developing. I only have 7 more days until I see/hear a heartbeat.

This weekend we went to the movies and saw Wait.ing for Super.man. If you haven't heard about it, it is a documentary about the U.S. Education system. It was good, but very sad and disappointing. To listen to people in charge of the system and who make the decisions say they know if kids go to this certain school they are going to fail is just unacceptable. To see a video of a teacher that did nothing but read a newspaper to himself the whole class, is ridiculous. I know there are great teachers out there that deserve to be paid more, but when you have teachers that the school knows are bad, and they can't fire them that is crazy?!! The movie made me cry, it was so sad to see some of these kids trying to go to better schools but they didn't get chosen because it was a lottery system. Now I just need to figure out what I can do to help, it is not fair that just because you live in a certain neighborhood that you can't get a good education.

Girls Weekend!

A couple weekends ago my husband went out of town for a guys trip, so I invited my sister out here for a girls weekend! We had a lot of fun! First thing Friday morning I got up to take a pregnancy test to see if I could drink for the weekend, it was negative. So, Friday, we went shopping and went out Friday night and had some drinks.

Then on Saturday my sister had a great idea of going to get a massage! It was great! Neither one of us could sleep either night hardly, so we were so tired on Saturday we kind of just bummed around the rest of the day, but it was so nice to just sit and chat and catch up. We talk as much as we can on the phone, but life gets in the way, and sometimes there isn't enough time in the day. Saturday night, we met up with one of my friends for a couple of drinks. Its so sad/funny that both nights I think we were home by 12:30 or 1am. Oh well, I was sooo glad that she came to visit me and we were able to spend the weekend together! It was sad when she left, but hopefully I'll see her again during Thanksgiving.

So, a couple days later is when I realized that I was actually pregnant, I just took the test too early. When I told my sister she didn't believe me because she is the one that looked at the test to tell me it was negative. She also accidentally touched my pee stick lol she went to the bathroom after me, and didn't realize it was sitting on the counter!! OOPS

So...

Today I am 5 weeks pregnant.... I have gone back and forth about putting it on here, but I wanted to get it out, I can't wait two more weeks till I go to the doctor. I found out on Thursday that I was pregnant, I was a little worried getting to today because this was when I had my miscarriage last time. Although this time I have more symptoms. I was able to make an appt to see my doctor at 7 weeks, she told me I could come in anytime after 6 1/2 weeks, so my appt is set for Oct 11. I'm really trying to stay calm and not worry too much, but every little thing I get worried about. I sit at work all day and poke my boobs to make sure they still hurt! My doctor said that was the first thing to go away when you are having a miscarriage, so just want to be sure! As sad as it sounds, I can't wait for morning sickness to kick in so I can be more sure about this one. Other than sore boobs, I'm just tired and hungry all the time, and make frequent trips to the bathroom, and feel like I always have to unbutton my pants, they just feel tight. Since a couple days before I got my positive test, I've had light cramping, but I've heard its normal, and its on and off nothing constant. Hoping the next two weeks fly by!

Doctor Appt & Labor Day

Last week I went to the doctor for my normal yearly appointment and while I was there I brought up the fact that its been a year now that we have started TTC. The doctor pretty much told me that I have to wait a year AFTER my miscarriage before she will do anything! That because I was pregnant, that "we know everything works" that I should be glad I'm not 36, and I'm still young. She also told me if I were to get pregnant I can't come in for any blood work to make sure my numbers are doubling! That I have to wait until I'm 6 1/2 weeks to see if there was a heartbeat. She said that the Betas could be wrong and there is no point in having an ultrasound if there is not a heartbeat yet. So..I was not very happy, I'm very much considering finding another doctor, this is my 3rd doctor at this place, the first one was really nice, but she retired, but the last two are not very sensitive! I may call anyways and ask if I can come in as soon as I'm pregnant, but we'll see.
For Labor Day weekend we went down to Kentucky for a family reunion on my Dads side, it was so much fun! All my Dads sisters and brothers were there besides one and their kids.

This is a picture of myself and both of my nieces.

This is myself, my husband and my dad

It was a long drive down, but it was well worth it to see everybody. My one uncle was told a long time ago that he wasn't able to ever have kids. Well, his wife is now 6 months pregnant! I found out she was pregnant a day after I had my miscarriage, we were just a couple weeks apart. I was so excited for them, because my uncle is such a great guy, and he was over the moon excited that they are going to be having a baby, we had a little shower for them while we were there. It was weird though, I almost started crying when they walked in, not because I'm not happy for them, but just because I knew that I would have been just that pregnant, but I held myself together!

Hope everybody had a good long weekend!

This and That

Haven't wrote a blog for a while, but not much new going on here. I'm on the fourth book of the Twil.ight saga...I know I'm addicted I have read the first three books within two weeks or less, and I'm almost half way through the fourth book! All I've been doing is coming home and reading! Still not pregnant, going to my doctors appt on Monday in a weird way I'm looking forward to that, if you can look forward to going to your OB. But, just want them to do some tests or something to convince me there is nothing wrong with me! I'm starting to think about acupuncture, my friend knows a lady that has a 100% success rate for helping women get pregnant! I've been holding out, but I think after my doctor appt, I might take it more seriously.
Anyways, this past weekend my Dad and stepmom came to visit, I LOVE visitors! We had a good time, although we didn't do much I just love to sit around and visit with them. Their trip was too short, but we'll see them soon enough for a family reunion!! I'm looking forward to seeing Aunts and Uncles and cousins I haven't seen in a long time!
Today, I bought a webcam, my sister convinced me that I should get one so we can skype, I'm kind of excited, I'll get to see my niece too while we are doing it, so that will be fun! I've never used skype, so I hope it works!! It was super easy to sign up! ALso, my sister might be coming to visit me, my husband is going out of town for the weekend, so I thought it would be fun to have her come out for the weekend while hes gone! I really hope she is able to come, it will be so great to spend some time with her, I KNOW we will have a blast!
Sorry for all the randomness!

Team..

So, I never would have imagined myself reading Twi.light, but I'm in a book club and somebody chose it to read. I was just talking to somebody at work that is IN LOVE with it and telling her that I just don't see myself getting into it. Well, I read the first book this weekend, started on Saturday and finished Sunday...it was good! I couldn't put it down, I always wanted to know what was going to happen next, and I want to start the next one already! If I had to choose I think I would say TEAM ED.WARD! I think that might be because Jacob wasn't really in this book too much, but I kind of want to watch the movie now too. I feel like a complete dork for saying that?! All the other books that have been chosen have been smut, and this was a nice change of pace :)
I can see why girls get into this vampire stuff its like a mystery, kind of sexy. But I'm not so sure about the pale skin..I don't find them attractive whatsoever! Anybody else read Twilight? What did you think?
