Wow has this last few weeks been SUCH a roller coaster!! I dont even know where to start with this post but I want to remember everything so i guess i will just type and hope it makes since haha.. and for some this might be major TMI but its MY blog ;) So yes we are pregnant again, expecting our second bundle of joy :) YES this was planned.. it has taken me awhile to get pregnant due to breastfeeding Kinsey but it finally happened!! I took my first at home pregnancy test April 1st because I just had this hunch and i got 2 positive results! I couldnt decided on if i wanted to tell brandon that day because it was April fools or if i wanted to wait.. then i thought "what the heck, im telling him today!". Kinsey and I came up with a plan that when he walked in the door she would run out with the positive test.. well he didnt believe it at first and i truly dont think he believed it until our first doctors appointment haha.. well that brings me to my next topic. I scheduled the appointment 2 weeks out since Brandon is only able to go with me on Thursdays (his day off) and my OB is in surgery every other Thursday.. so I just figured i would be about 7 weeks along for my first appointment.. well things didnt go that smoothly. We talked to my doctor for a little bit and i told him some info and he even said i was 7 weeks and my due date would be December 1st.. Brandons birthday!! Then came the ultrasound.. all he could find was a yolk sac. This was a HUGE scare for me! I had a 101 things going through my mind at that time like, is "it" just not growing, am i going to have a miscarriage??, and lots of other not so good things! Dr. Alejo told me that seeing a yolk sac meant i was more than 5 weeks but less than 6 and to come back in 2 weeks. So we left with my nerves shot and worry meter sky high! I even made myself sick worrying about it so i texted my OB.. yes i have his number thank goodness, and asked if he thought it was a healthy pregnancy. He assured me that everything would be fine and to just relax.
So that two week appointment was today and I was a basket case! My wait to see him is usually less than 5 min but this time i had to wait close to 10, and to top it off i felt like i was going to puke my brains out (attractive huh?). Finally I got called back and they did my weight and all that fun stuff then we waited in the room for about 2 sec before he came in and i hurried and told him how worried i was and he said "well lets not talk and just look and see"haha he is AWESOME!! Well guys we now have a heart beat!!!! My little yolk sac has developed and I am now 7 weeks 6 days along! this was music to my ears :)))) I know im not very far long and its kinda soon to be telling people.. but im not one to keep things in very well, especially something as big as this! Im so glad i worried for nothing and that so far everything looks great! So since im only 8 weeks not much has changed with me or my body except for the fact i am VERY sick and it lasts most of the day.. I am fine when i wake up in the morning, but around 2 or 3 i start to get queasy. I never felt this way with Kinsey, so maybe this means it a boy :) any SMELL is my worst enemy!! I cant cook food without running to the bathroom at least once, and I often sit outside with Kinsey after dinner with all my windows and doors open with fans going to get any lingering smell out. Other than being very sick, peeing 20 million times a day and being exhausted.. thats about it! haha

Congrats, I am so excited for you! I am glad you were able to go back
ReplyDeleteTo the doctors so you can relax and start to enjoy it now, well
Minus the throwing up thing!
Congratulations Jess!
ReplyDeleteMy friend just told me to read this post because the same exact thing happened to me last week. They only saw a yolk sack. I've been worrying since- because we've been trying for 3 and a half years and we were about to start our medications for In-Vitro but I took a pregnancy test and 2 came out positive! Anyway- I'm grateful you posted your story early, because it really brings me hope. They told me to come back this week (one week after the "just the yoke sack" incident) but I'm debating whether or not to wait one more extra week so it's easier to see what's going on. So, thanks again for posting! I would normally not post anonymous but we haven't told anyone yet and you never know if a mutual friend might see! (dev3id[at]gmail.com)
