Went to the doctor Tuesday and all of my bloodwork was normal, YAY! The 11th is my ultrasound, so hopefully we will get to see a heartbeat...they said it might be the following Tuesday before we actually hear it, but they will try for this coming up Tuesday. I am pretty excited, but still kinda nervous. I am still cramping quite a bit and having weird pains in my groin and lower abdomen area. Supposedly this is normal, "everyone is different". I think I will feel better about all of this weird stuff going on with my body after I see that there is something in my uterus and it is not the worst, ectopic. I am just so terrified of that. But all bloodwork indicates normal, so that is what I need to focus on and stop being such a Negative Nelly!
So, Lisa got me this super cool pregnancy journal. Rather than most week-by-week journals, this one is a day-by-day, starting with the day of conception. Robert and I love it because it tells us everything that is developing with the embryo/fetus as well as mom. It provides so much interesting information. It also has me measure my waist and weigh myself periodically to monitor my physical changes, as well as keeping up with mood swings, cravings (all of which is blank thus far...thank goodness) and whatever else is suppose to go along with pregnancy. I think I update like weekly or bi-weekly, something like that and then at the end of each month it has a journal page for whatever your heart desires.
LOVE IT!
Robert is doing EVERYTHING possible to take care of this little nugget and the momma to-be. He went out and bought a HUGE bag of fresh boccoli from Sam's to help with "brain development" this month and is making sure that I am eating enough and drinking plenty of water. Last night he went through all of my face wash getting rid of anything with sacylic acid in it...haha. Yup, he is ONE OF THOSE! He is sooo cute, annoying, but cute. I might have to make sure he keeps himself preoccupied with other things if he keeps this up ;). Seriously though, he has been so supportive and sweet. I love seeing him so excited :D
Luckily, no "morning sickness...yet...I'm keeping my fingers crossed since I am still so early. I do have pretty bad indigestion, but it is tolerable during the day and as long as I don't eat after 7pm-ish I am fine. Cheese totally turns me off though. The smell makes my stomach crawl! Cold cheese will not happen, but if it is melted over something, it is doable, but not something I desire or really care to have. Yeah, cheese is pretty much the only "don't" right now. I am not wanting sweets at all really. They don't make me sick, I just don't care to have it.
I STILL have not asked what my due date is (estimated Sept. 6th according to egg retrival date) so I don't know excatly how far along I am, none of that mumbo-jumbo really makes any sense to me, but I think I am 5 1/2 weeks??? I am confused because in my little book/journal thingy it says that this is the beginning of my 6th week, but online it says that I am 5 weeks and like 4 days? I seriously need to remember to ask the nurse Tuesday...for now I'm sticking to 5 1/2 :D
