1st Doctor's Appointment

Well, I had my first doctor's appointment (3/23/11).  The issue lies in that:
1) If calculated by my LMP I'm 4weeks 6 days.  However I didn't ovulate until day 23 or so so that leaves me really at what I think is 3weeks 6 days.  I could be totally wrong...but I don't think I am.  I took my temperature throughout this cycle so I was confident that I was right, however, I tested positive on a HPT at 3 weeks exactly...that's pretty early I think.


2) They did a scan for the heck of it to see what my innard would reveal.  They said they saw the corpus luteum..which is good but it was a cyst and they could see fluid on the posterior cul-de-sac. ????  I've googled all of this junk to get mixed messages.  A lot said seeing the corpus luteum was good because it releases the progesterone to the baby before the placenta develops and others said that it was a cyst that they had to get removed during pregnancy that risked the life of their baby.  Scary stuff.  I'm trusting in Him.

• This will be a successfull pregnancy.
• This will result in me taking our baby home.
• Regardless of what others may say, they will NOT steal my joy.

On another note...I had to tell my principal that I was expecting.  I have to go to appointments every week until the end of my pregnancy to get shots and check up on the little one.  I figured that it may not be good for me to sneak out of school for an appointment once a week...he might notice that.lol  So, taking Tracy's advice, I let her tell him for me. :-)  I couldn't even tell him myself...I just sat there and let her do it.  It was great.  He just laughed at me and said, "well did you think I was going to get mad and tell you to leave or something?".  I said, "Yes!  That's exactly what I thought!". lol  So he then asked me how this was going to work.  I explained that since the blood clotting caused the placenta to abrupt last time that it shouldn't happen this time because I'm taking preventative measures very early in my pregnancy. I mean it doesn't get any earlier than 3 weeks to start pumping full of the 17p and the prometrium pills and the heparin and aspirin and metformin and prednisone and metanx and all kinds of good junk.  God willing...this baby is coming home!!!! 


So, I know it's very early but I saw the most adorble nursery on someone else's blog and I would love to hang a bunch of hot air balloons from the ceiling.  I happen to know the best person for the job.  Hopefully it won't cost a lot but she makes the most beautiful hot air balloons.  Not to mention she has a real hot air balloon that I've been dying to go on a ride on but still haven't. 


Yesterday we met up with my in-laws at Hobby Lobby.  Daniel wanted to go over to Buy Buy Baby after but then something came up so we couldn't go.  Daniel has admitted how much more he wants to be involved this time and that he feels like he jipped the girls by not being so involved in the preparation portion.  I told him that it's okay, the girls gave us a new appreciation for things and helped us to no longer take precious time for granite.


Well, I'm telling some dear friends at church about our pregnancy tonight at church.  I'm so excited.  Mainly because these people have rooted for us from the beginning of this David bible study.  They have prayed insanely for us and although I'm telling others, I can't wait to tell them.


I'm dealing very difficultly (is that a word?) with my feelings towards my friends.  I have no girlfriend to tell about my pregnancy and how it progresses.  I do have my husband but any other girl can vouche for what it feels like to be able to tell your best friend.  Unfortunately do to other circumstances, I can't do that.  It's definitely killing me and I'm trying to be content about it all.  God, please give me a peace so that I can keep this miracle to myself because I don't want to hurt anyone by sharing this new joy in our lives.


Well, I know I'm jumping subject to subject but I'll forget to write it altogether if I don't do it now.lol  I took my first pregnancy photo...yuck..it's horrible.  I do not care to show it on here.lol  It's probably because I never lost my first pregnancies weight from twins so this is just not pretty.  Look out summer time as I will be big pregnant and not so easy on the eyes.  I also don't plan on telling anyone from work until I return to work next school year so it should be funny to see the looks on the first day of pre-planning.


It's been really early in pregnancy but I've really experienced the fatigue, breast tenderness, and to my surprise NO vomiting!!  It's been wonderful.  There has been occasional moments of nausea but it's great so far.  Last time my pregnancy test was lighter but my vomiting was super severe.  This time my pregnancy test is darker and darker earlier than before but not vomiting.  Hoping it's still okay.  I also had implantation bleed and didn't have it with the first pregnancy.  Very strange how different pregnancies can be. 


How am I spending today??  Cleaning the kitchen and house, eating, writing a letter for donations for BLMD, lesson planning, bible study, and church! Busy busy busy...oh, and I'll probably throw a nap in there somewhere.


Happy Saturday Everyone!


Hopefully this is what we will see at our scan on Monday. (not my scan, borrowed from google)lol
