Before the First Visit

I'm so nervous... about the doctors appointment on Tuesday.  I am still kind of in shock that I'm pregnant.  We have been trying for 6+ months and I can't believe that we finally are pregnant.  I don't know what to expect with the Perinatologist visit.  I know that my normal Dr. were going to call him Dr. W. how the visits go.  I just don't know how it is going to go with the Perinatologist. What I'm hoping is that they will do an ultrasound and that we will see a little peanut and a heartbeat.  I am also hoping that we will have a healthy pregnancy.  I had my first miscarriage in the month of July so my mind is worried about seeing it happen all over again.  I'm staying positive but my mind does wander to the dreadful day when I found out that we were pregnant and than less than a week later I went through a miscarriage.  I have been starving and extremely tired so I think that is a good sign with the pregnancy.  I just wanted to write down my thoughts about going to the Perinatologist because I don't want it going around and around in my head and getting me all stressed out.

Our Little Poppy Seed

WEEK 4:

(July 10-17)

I think for right now my weeks are changing on Saturdays but I won't really be sure until the 19th of July.  I still don't know what really to expect at the Perinatologist doctors appointment.  Hubs and I are getting quite excited about the visit.  We are hoping that this visit we get to see our little lentil on the ultrasound machine and see the heart beat.  We are also wondering if there is a possibility I could be pregnant with twins.  If we are that is great!  If we are only pregnant with one baby that is also great!  We are just so excited to be pregnant.  You know how I said this pregnancy will be x2 the doctors visits.  Well we have the Perinatologist on Tuesday and on Wednesday we have a followup appointment with our normal Dr.  The craziness of two doctors has already started.

Pregnancy Symptoms I have this week:

• Frequent trips to the bathroom
• Food Cravings- I wake up starving I have a bag of saltine crackers right to the side of my bed.
• Heartburn
• Sleeping...
• and the new one Nausea is kicking in... I have yet to throw up just the butterflies are in my tummy.

So to look forward to this week:

• The Perinatologist Visit
• Dr. W's visit.

we are all quite excited!!!

The baby this week is as big as a poppy seed.  As you could tell by the blog title.

What is helping the baby live right now:
Also present now are the amniotic sac, which will house your baby; the amniotic fluid, which will cushion her as she grows; and the yolk sac, which produces your baby's red blood cells and helps deliver nutrients to her until the placenta has developed and is ready to take over this duty.

Our Little Blastocyst

WEEK 3:
(July 3-10 )

I think I'm on week 5 but not sure yet on July 19 we will actually know how far along I really am.  I am so excited/nervous about this  Perinatologist appointment I don't know what to expect.  Everyone that I have told so far about me being pregnant thinks that I could be pregnant with twins because of how dark the lines came out.  I wouldn't really mind twins... but I don't want to get my hopes up.  For now I'm just thinking that we are having one and if the Perinatologist says different we will be overjoyed.

My baby  is a Blastocyst: a clump of cells multiplying to become a baby. 

I have some new pregnancy symptoms this week they include: (*week 3)

• Frequent trips to the bathroom
• Food Cravings- I wake up starving I have a bag of saltine crackers right to the side of my bed.
• Heartburn
• Sleeping... but usually after my normal 8 hours of sleep I wake up and want to go eat and have energy... than around the evening before I go into work I take a nap that usually last around 1 to 3 hours.  On my weekends that is a completely different story if I get out of bed I'm lucky!

This week I don't have a doctors appointment and I'm just getting anxious for the next doctors appointments.

*we found out on July 19 that we were around 5 weeks 2 days

Thoughts on how this is going to go...

My hubby and I found out on July 7, 2011 that we are expecting a baby.

This is a blog about my journey throughout this pregnancy.

I'm going to include in this blog weekly updates, pictures, symptoms of pregnancy, my feelings, and doctor visits(x2).

I have two doctors for this pregnancy because I'm considered to have High Risk Pregnancy's.

I had a miscarriage in July 2009,

I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks in August of 2010.

I have always heard that the Third Time is a Charm so here it goes...
