Well it's really in there!

We had our first prenatal appointment for this pregnancy yesterday. I was so nervous going in there! Especially because I had a dream the night before that I got there, had an ultra sound and they told me that there was no baby.

The nurse and Kathy (my Dr.) were both so excited to see me back again so soon. We did an internal ultrasound and sure enough there is a gestation sac in there, no yolk sac yet but that is most likely because I was exactly 5 weeks and the yolk sac starts developing during the 5th week. She said everything looks great! She also told me she would like to see me every two to three weeks rather than four to five until I am out of my 1st trimester. This way she can keep a close eye on everything and also to give me a sense of relief. I am so happy about this. I am glad she is so concerned with me and being so proactive about it.

I got another wonderful pregnancy care package. This time it included even more goodies than the first time. Including a book to keep track of my thoughts and prenatal appointment, a pacifier, a great selection of prenatal vitamins and tons of great informational sheets and magazines. I also got our first ultrasound on DVD. Yay!

I am slowly getting more and more excited but still preparing myself for the worst.

I am also thinking about picking up meditation. I have the hardest time relaxing and getting things off of my mind. I am hoping this will help with everything as far as my work life, my marriage, my personal life and relaxing during this pregnancy!

Well we did it again!

Yup, thats right we are pregnant.... again. Hopefully this time with a sticky baby!

When I woke up this AM and my temp had jumped .3 degrees Brett insisted that I test ASAP. Doing as any good wife would ;) I listened. At first I couldn't see the second line and for a split second was pretty bummed. Then the second line slowly started to appear. I played it off so well and said "I can't see anything" as I crawled back into bed. Brett took one look at the test and yelled " We did it!" and jumped on top of me while covering me in kisses. I responded with "good job babes" and gave him a high five. No lovely, romantic "we cried and held each other" story (that happened the first time) just a good old high five like he had just won a football game. I loved every second of it though.

We are both on cloud nine. It is such a great feeling! I will admit though that I am scared f'ing shitless. I am trying not to let the fear override the joy, but it is hard. Please stop and say a little prayer that this will be a sticky baby. :)

Here is the picture of the test (a little fuzzy but absolutely a positive) and my first belly shot haha yay for 4w1d belly shots :)
