Ultrasound #2

Today we went for our second ultrasound.  And we finally saw a baby! There is definitely only one, not two..or three haha! Rob wasn't able to go with me, so my sister Tracy and Nanny came with me.  The tech saw the baby and when she turned the screen, I instantly saw the heartbeat.  The tech told us we could hear it...and we DID! It was 120bpm.  The best sound I've ever heard.  Last week I was measuring 4 weeks with just a sac.  Today baby was measuring 6weeks 3days, only 3 days younger then my due date says.  I will be 7 weeks tomorrow.  They are not going to change my due date.  So I'm definitely due April 16th, 2010.  The tech said the baby was released from my right ovary, the ovary with the huge cyst in it.  But she said the cyst is starting to go down too....which is really good news. 

On to better things...I took my first belly pic yesterday at 6weeks5days last night.  It's mostly bloat...but there's a huge difference from morning to afternoon!



Here is our little Jelly Bean! I can't wait to meet the baby already.  The round blob with the hollow center is actually the yolk sac.  The baby looks like a jelly bean hehe!



Morning sickness has started to set in as of yesterday! Today was pretty bad...especially driving in the car.  But...I will take morning sickness over not having it anyday if it means that our Little One grows up strong and healthy!

HCG went up!!!

Last Thursday, August 20th, I had an ultrasound done. All they saw was a gestational sac..so they thought our conception date was off, so they sent me for bloodwork to make sure my HCG levels were going up.  So I went last Friday, the 21st, for my first blood draw.  I got the results Monday and it was 10,000!!!! WOW!!! I was shocked! So I got my other draw done Monday(right after I found out the results of Fridays draw).  I got the results for those yesterday.  It was over 21,000!!!! OMG!! So they more then doubled in 72 hours. We are very excited and can't wait for our ultrasound on tomorrow.  It will be our 2nd one, and hopefully this time we'll see a baby. 

We're pregnant!!!

On Monday 8/10/09, I took a pregnancy test and it was positive.  I took another one on Tuesday night and it was even MORE positive! I couldn't believe it! Rob and I are SO excited that we have made it to this point.  I went to the doctor 8/17/09 and the doctor said everything looked fine.  I am due 4/16/10 and was 5 weeks pregnant.  The OB said that I will have to get my cervix monitored (I have a weak cervix found when I was pregnant with Skyler) by a high risk doctor.  I will have to have lots of Ultrasounds...they were saying either once a week or every other week.  I had my first ultrasound done on 8/20/09 and they only saw a gestational sac.  I'm measuring smaller then they thought, so the doctors think conception happened later then we thought.  I got bloodwork done yesterday and I have to go again on Monday to make sure my HCG is rising properly...also I have to back in for an ultrsaound on Thursday 8/27/09 to check what I am measuring then.

We have all the support we need to make it through anything.  Love you all!
