Doctor Appointment today

Appt was good saw a different Dr.(normal dr not in today) which is funny because back when I 1st started with all this infertility stuff she was one of the interns who did the colposcopy on me, then I ended up seening her at the fertility clinic with dr S. for an appt., and when I lost William she was one of the Dr's at the Hospital and she herd about my ectopic. So when she walked in the room we both looked at each other and both said you look familar, and went thru my history and she remembered it all she even said my name was familar when she read it before coming into the room.

So she 1st congratulated me, then listned for h/b which was beating nicly at 145bpm then Orion kicked the doppler because she said oh did you feel that I said no she said baby kicked the doppler, I said so that is what that noice is (a quick sharp noise)..lol Dr said my pains are just growing pains she checked my cervix and still looking good. I go back next Thursday to check cervix again and go thru the u/s that I have for this Monday.

As she left she said at this rate the way we have been meeting I will most likly see you again..lol.

I really liked her she was nice.

Nervous or growing pains???

I was sleeping on my left side(like I always do) and then it got so uncomfortable that I had to lay onto my back then I started to get little stabbing pains on my left side only, So I put my hand on my belly it was risen like it normally is in the morning so I got up to go to the bathroom when I laid back down belly was still risen and the little pains were still hanging about so I rubbed my belly and was talking to him, Then I ask the angels to pls just let this be growing pains pls pls pls, they went away shortly after.

My tummy was not getting hard and was not rising up and down, that's a good thing.

I am so glad I have a Dr appt tomorrow @ 3:15pm mtn time. They wanted to see me the week of when we lost William(week 19). But this little man is already bigger then William was so that must mean my UU is bigger now too. Trying not to think about it to much and I have been a couch potato not doing anything and not over doing anything either, plus everyone in my family is making sure I am not doing anything either.

I hate seeing BUGS in my house

Especially if I see them in my bedroom!

As I was getting ready for work yesterday morning, I was almost done when this thing came flying at me I jumped dropped what I was doing and started looking around for it. Well it was on the wall it was this red (blood red) and black flying type of bug it was long and skinny, YUCK (how can a thing no bigger then 2cm freak me out). I can't kill and I will not touch it (someone else has to do it for me) DH was asleep did not want to wake him plus he would think I was crazy. So I took what I needed out of the bathroom and closed the door so it would not come into the bedroom (hoping Dh would see it when he took his shower) I finished getting ready for work and left.


When I got home I asked DH if he saw the ugly bug in the bathroom he said no (why would I think he would see it, he is a man he does not look for these things) so I went upstairs to see if it was there and the door was wide open so "it" could fly into the bedroom and plant itself anywhere, I looked all around but could not find it. All I could think was great now it is in the bedroom and for all I now I'll be sleeping with it tonigh...I don't know if anyone else thinks like this but all I could picture was this bug crawling around my face in my ears, nose or mouth as I am sleeping...yuck! Before I went to bed I did another bug check and once again could not find the thing...hmmm

I Wake up this morning start getting ready again and guess what THERE IT IS sitting on the Jacuzzi tub staring at me, just great so I kept my eye on it as I was getting ready it never flew out of the tub... So once again I will have to check then double check the bathroom and bedroom for it tonight. I will have to catch it in a cup somehow and take it outside where it is suppose to be. I just want to know how it gets in the house.
Hey just a thought I do have 2 cats...hmmmmm... Lyric loves catching flies...and Stucky-boy catches mice so one of them could do it right......he he heee watch out bug I can't kill ya but my kitties can..................

I did it..somewhat.

I finally figured out how to put a "Comment" link after each post and it works, now I need to figure out how to add the background to it so the comments do not blend in with the main backgorund.
If anyone knows how to do that please let me know.

I am just happy I figured one part out...lol

For now I will leave my tag board up for "Just in Case"

so pls leave a comment.

2nd OB appointment

was today at 4pm.

I get there and they have yo pee in a cup to check your levels (can't remember what they are called) I could not remember which way to hold the stick after I dip it, you have to hold it up to the container to see the color level you are so I had to walk out to the nurse with my little pee stick in hand for her to show me and it turned out normal. I weighed 53.0 kilograms(116lbs) I think that is 2lbs more from last appointment. my blood pressure is 120/74 Nurse side ah really good bp I said the is high for me...lol I am ussually in the 104-109 range.

I go sit in the waiting room to wait for Dh. DH shows I tell nurse she takes us into a room to wait again for the Dr. O.. Only a few minutes go by when he knocks on the door caomes in asking How I am doing.? I said pretty good. He looks at my chart says so your 15w? I said no 17w tomorrow. he said really they have 15w here. I said they are wrong. He takes of the cycle wheel ask when my last cycle was I say Jan 22 but I know I ovulated on Feb 4th. So he checks the wheel and so well you are right then he starts to read my chart again then says to me I thought you had a unicornuate uterus? I yes I do. He said well the wrote down a Bi-cornuate uterus. (I'm thinking my gosh people do not read well because when I went to the u/s place it said right on the form a unicornuate uterus!)

He said Ok then lets hear the heart beat. I lay down pull my shirt up he presses around on my tummy and says you definantly are a UU you are way to the left way over, then he asked about my scare and said is that from the ectopic? I said yes he said looks like it is smiling. As he put the doppler on my tummy searching for the heart beat which he was having trouble with, I mention that I have a doppler at home & I forgot to check this morning. He was like you have a doppler at home, he seem surprized. I said yes I do a friend is lending to me and it sure eases the mind, he smiled said that good as he was still trying to find the heart beat could not find it so he stops says I have an easier way we will take a look at it. Out he goes to get the u/s machine as he was rolling it in he ask (jokingly) do you have one of these at home too? We just laughed and he said they are only about 50,000.00 dallors...lol.
Sets the machine up puts the wand on my tummy and whala there is baby heart beating and all Dr just says well way could I not find it? He showed DH & I baby for a few more seconds as baby (I should say Orion) was kicking and punching he way back. Orions head is down it was up on Mondays U/S. I said well atleast I know he can still move around in there. As the Dr was puting the machine away I asked if my uterus was up front, the Dr said thats normal, then I said because that will prevent me from feeling most movements right? He kind of looked at me funny, then DH said I think you mean your placenta. I said what did I say they both said uterus, I just laughed because I was embarressed the Dr just said ah your Pregnant you tend to forget more things..lol


Dr said to come back in 4w, then DH said well we have only made it to 19w the Dr then said right come back in 2w.

I really don't think anyone reads the charts or even rights in them properly, Now I know why they keep repeating the same questions over & over & over again.

So so far so good.

16w 2d U/S Update....

Well after walking what felt like miles expecially with a full about to burst baldder, I make it into the Ultrasound clinic were DH is waiting for me. I go up to the desk and asked can I drian my bladder some she smiles and said your "overfull" I said yup bursting she said do you know the drill(pee in a little dixie till it is full then stop) Yes I only know that to well..lol

As we were waiting DH & I were playing Hangman on his Palm Pilot (I was not doing very well) My mum and stepdad showed up (I asked them if they would come and see there grand baby)

We only waited about 10min when a lady called my name, I got up and started towards her then said to DH are you coming he was like oh I come too. We sit in this little room while she asks me all the questions if all is up to date (which it was I was only here 4w ago) then she says follow me DH asks me too she said yes your part of this little creation too. So again we sit in this little 2foot by 2foot dressing room waiting again... I kept coughing because of this lovely cold I have actually it feels like I swallowed sand paper.

I hear my name being called we get up follow the tech in to the room, A Doctor was also waiting and asked me if I know why I was here since they normally don't do a scan till 18w (i'm 16w3d) 9Do they not read what is sent to them, it will tell them everything) I said my Dr wants to keep an eye on my cervix and I also had a 19w loss and this being my 6th pregnancy with no live babies they are keeping a closer eye on me. He said Oh understandable then. then he said so then it is more less a scan to measure cervix and fluid. I said yes, but could I get some pictures too we have had picture with every scan so far...she and the Dr look at each other and both yes yes we can do that. As I was getting on the bed I asked that my mum is here can she and my stepdad come in and see too? She said sure go get them now and DH did.

As the tech put the wand on my tummy you could see baby right away, everyones eyes were glued to the TV screen (there is a screen on the wall aswell as the computer) the tech comeneted on my uterus by saying my you are way over to the left. Then she went on saying I scan beautifully that it will be great to get the measurements. She showed us babys head which measures great. She said baby looks great fluid looks great there is lots of it. I then asked her if she could tell the sex now? She yes sometimes yes and your scanning so great lets look, then she said you want to know? I said yes and then we hear DH & grandpa yell out it looks like a BOY! The tech smiled and said yes it looks to be that way..lol... but don't quote me 100% get them to check again on your next u/s. (which is June 6th).

The tech went on measuring and told us that baby (he) is measuring 16weeks 5day when I am actually 16w2d. The relief that went over me was joy and I thanked the angels above. He is also weighing about 6oz.

here is the email I sent out to my sisters and close friends:

Hi it is me again

They say I look like a boy! I even heard Daddy & grandpa yell out a BOY! (they scared me) I tried to hide it but that thing caught me, they are sneaky....I was so embarrassed I tried to hide my face................
the lady said she is not 100% to make sure next time....there is going to be a next time!!!

The lady said I am symmetrical? what does that mean....she even tried to shake me up but I held on tight.
Mommy is happy I measure 2days ahead at 16weeks 5days instead of 16w3d I weight about 6oz


come see me again (even my boy part) you can even see how I am making mummys tummy stick out...

It Caught me

the flipping cold a couple of people had at work, I tried to avoid it as much as possible by wiping down my phones & computer with clorox wipes after one sick person covered my breaks and trying to stay away from the one that had the need for some unknown reason to always breathe on me! The cold must know that I am a target....so for the second time in this pg I have a cold! I am tired of coughing and sounding like a man.

Anyways they other day a was forced to by a new Bra since I am now starting to "bust out" of the one I wear now. I never busted out of a bra before...lol... quiet the experiance.

I have my Ultrasound tomorrow at 2pm could use all the Strong long cervix, lots of fluid, healthy baby {{{VIBES}}}} I can get and maybe throw in open leg {{{VIBES}}} too.

I am getting really nervous & scared as the weeks go on

16w tomorrow

I started having What I now know was contractions with William at 17w2d. I am getting so scared I even dream about it. I dream my tummy keeps getting hard and rises then gets soft and lowers...and I lay in my dream not believeing when I shoul be getting up and going to the Hosp. and that is when I wake up

I even wake up and my tummy is raised on the left side so I put my hand to see if it moves like I did with William, (it is not) then I get up go drain my baldder and it feels normal and still firm but lower, I think I am slowly going into a panic. I can totally feel where my uterus is and how it goes to the left but it is only when I am laying down that I feel that and it is firm, is your tummy suppose to be firm now?

A very scared and nervous me.

I just don't want to go thru that again. I am so looking forward to my u/s on Monday to make sure all is ok.

I pray please please let this baby be to stay with me....please.

emotional me

I do check the heart beat still and it was beating 158bpm the other night.

My Weekend.....

Well I turned 15w on Friday, Heart rate is still beating around 158 to 163 bpm

I find myself thinking more about my pg with William, I am getting closer to the 19w mark and I am getting scared. I am checking my belly for any strange rising and harding, safe to say nothing is happening.

Went to my sisters house for the Mother's Day dinner for them (2 sisters) and our mum. When I walked in the door my little neice "T" gave me a card saying "Happy Mother's Day to a mother to be" I thought that was nice of her to think of me. Then my sister gave me a gift too it was a baby book "Baby Chronicals" My Very Own Story: from pre-natal to pre-school. I am excited to write in it but yet scared at the same time. I let them all hear the heart beat (I brang my doppler, sister asked me to) they were all excited it was nice to see.

When we were leaving the dinner my bil (brother in law) said to me next year you will be celebrating today to, all I could do was smile and think "I hope so". I am so excited for this baby but yet so gaurded & cautious too. It is hard I feel myself prepare for the good but also prepare for the bad (what happened to normal??)

1 more week till we get to see our "precious" again hopefully we can see if it is a boy or a girl (could use some open leg vibes from you all), pray all is well and that we don't walk in there hearing bad news (I won't lie I do think of the good and the bad of a u/s)

Strang PG Dream...

I dreamt I crocheted a nice mint green poncho and then I went out side running around with nothing on but holding this poncho and as I was running down the street with my big belly I thought I should put my poncho on instead of carrying it, So on it went still nothing on underneath.
Some how I ended up in Downtown with a group of people searching for something but I ended up having some sort of black pants on almost like Capri’s but no top only the holy poncho. I started to run along the c-train tracks (like subway but above ground) then I saw people I new and the were pointing at my belly saying "look at you and that little belly of yours".
Then I started to run again the poncho was waving in the wind and showing my belly off and my breast a giggling (which they never do...lol) then I realized I was going the wrong way I stopped on the corner and was confused at which way to go, then I figured it out and woke up.....
I remember when I woke I thought that wow the poncho was nice.

------

Another funny:

My sister called me at work this morn to see how I was doing.She then wanted to say something about Mum then stopped and said "oh maybe I can not tell you" I said I know she has something for me but I don't know what it is.

Then she said then I can tell you the story....
(My mum went to Regina Saskatchewan to visit her brother who is Ill)

Sister: Mum came over last night saying she bought you something and that you and DH are going over for dinner tonight, (so she wanted to tease mum) sis said this is like "Everybody Loves Raymond" instead it is "Everybody Love Y" she went on saying every time you go out of town you always bring something back for her, your always inviting her over for dinner, I never get invited ........ She said mum got this look on her face and said "oh" I'll make dinner bring it over here and have everyone come over ........... My sister laughed and said mum I am teasing you, its ok don't worry, I’m not bothered.... my mum just said oh you...lol

My mum always buys me little charms like angels for my angels Or charms for a healthy pg stuff like that...

Were are all close to mum and this sister & her DH just bought mum and 1990 (I think) Cadillac mint condition for just because all she does.
