Lab Results

My OB called me yesterday and said all of my labs came back perfectly. I have no gestational diabetes, I'm good on my Rubella vaccine and am A+ blood type.

I really need to scan in our first ultra sound so I can post it on here.

The biggest symptom I am having right now is being tired all.the.time. I have issues sleeping at night, but am so tired during the day. I just want one nights good sleep. We even brought up my old bed from the basement because it's a little firmer than the bed we have now, so if I need to I can sleep in the extra bedroom.

Well it's 2:15 and I think I'm gonna go lay down and take a nap!

Heartbeat!

Well I started off the day by having my first Glucose test and some bloodwork ran. I am ready for it to be tomorrow so that I can get the results on the Glucose test. The doctor is just worried because I am overweight, hopefully with no family history and no personal history everything will be fine!

I made an appointment while I was there for my first ultrasound for 3:15 so my hubby could go with me. So I drank my 32 oz of water and we got there, with me shaking the whole way because I needed to relieve my bladder so badly. The nurse saw me shaking so she came out and got us and took us to another room. We talked about due dates and things then she started. She had told us that because of how far along I thought I was that she may not get a heartbeat with the external but as soon as she started she was like "oh never mind I've already seen the heartbeat." So she did her measurements and found I was 7weeks 5 days (just 1 day behind what I had figured) and then she concentrated on the embryo so I could see the heartbeat. It was measuring at 170 beats and I started to cry. It was amazing and finally feels "real" to me!

She gave us a picture, let me go to the bathroom and said they won't be changing my due date since it's so close! She did say that it can be 2 weeks before or after my due date, so at the end of May or beginning of June we'll have a baby!!!

First Appointment

Well we had our first appointment yesterday. It was pretty uneventful. We just got to visit with the nurse and ask her any questions. They took blood and a urine sample. Because of my history (I'm assuming my Multiple Sclerosis) she wants me to see the doctor ASAP, so I get to see her on Tues! I'm really excited to see/meet her. My best friend met her in med school and just loves her so I'm really ready to meet her myself!

My morning sickness is doing better, the biggest thing I'm having now is not sleeping and man do my boobies hurt!!!
