7 weeks 3 days ultrasound!

Here is our little bean!! OMG, it has grown so much in just over a week!! Nice strong heart beat!!

6 week ultrasound. Little gestational sac with a tiny heartbeat in the upper left corner.

Another great, AMAZING, ultrasound!!

Monday I had another ultrasound. Saw our little bean, with a healthy little heart beat. Measuring ahead of schedule at 7 weeks 5 days. My mom was there. She cried, Tracy cried, I was just so relieved to see a healthy little bean. I was released from the care of the fertility clinic. Going to call the midwives tomorrow to make my first appointment.
My mom took us shopping at babies-r-us. She wanted to buy some stuff cause she lives so far away and wanted to be able to enjoy the experience together. She bought us a car seat stroller set, a pack-n-play, a swing, a changing table pad, a crib mattress, some baby towels, receiving blankets, cloth diapers, and several odds and ends. I was not expecting that at all! Very exciting!! We also went to the fabric store and bought fabric for a baby quilt.
Hopefully I can get some ultrasound pics posted.

Little Flicker!!

Had my ultrasound on Wednesday. I was able to push it up a day cause some scheduling stuff changed. So I didn't have to much time to stress about it. After a few minutes of intense searching we found the heartbeat!!! It was a little tiny flicker in the upper left corner of the sac. So small but it was definitely there! Phew, pretty darn relieved!! Next ultrasound is Monday Nov. 15th. Hope my mom wants to come!!
I have tried a million times to upload the ultrasound picture but it just won't do it!!! I will try again in a few days. Going to rest, work the next 2 nights then off to the beach with my mom!! Yay!!! A happy vacation!!

Just some blah blah

Today is Monday and I am just waiting for Thursday to roll around. Just want to get this ultrasound over with. I am nervous but not as nervous as last time. Last time I cried everyday because I just knew something wasn't right. This time, I don't know it's just different. Maybe my pregnancy symptoms are more convincing. My breasts are very sore. It is worse some days than others but it's always there. No morning sickness but when I get hungry I must eat immediately or I get nauseous, light headed, and start to feel like I can't eat anything even though I am hungry. I have some strange pulling sensations in my lower abdomen. Mostly when I stand up real quick from sitting. I am definitely emotional, yesterday I cried when Brett Farve got hit in the chin during the game. Then I cried when Tom Brady hugged Randy Moss. Seriously!!

Just really trying to stay positive about this ultrasound but also trying to be guarded as well. If things go bad I have to be prepared. I will not really have anytime to have a melt down. I have to work Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night. Then I am driving 5 and half hours by myself to the beach on Sunday after I get up. Then I have to spend the night alone at the resort before I pick up my mom on Monday morning. Yikes, I don't know if I am that strong. Hopefully I won't have to worry about it and everything will be good and I can celebrate!! That is what I want to do is celebrate. I am tired of disappointment.

Tracy and I have always overcome the hardships handed to us. And I think we handle them with grace. We have lost a house, been through foreclosure. Had job changes, working opposite shifts and days, surgeries, been through nursing school twice, phlebotomy school, cared for an impossible individual in our home, had some problems with alcohol and fighting, had to put a dog down, dealt with vacations alone, and the loss of a baby. I am sure there is much much more. It always seems like when get through something hard we are rewarded with something better! I hope this trend continues!!
