6 Weeks!!

Belly Pic- 5 weeks 5 days

Baby at 6 weeks!

Half way through the first trimester!! I feel fat. For the last 4-5 days my pants have not fit comfortably.. probably just bloating but man.. bleh. I've been wearing sweats everyday. Speck has fingers and toes this week and looks a little more human. Our next appt is Dec 14. I can't wait to see how big Speck is by then. It's very nice out today, I might go for a jog. I haven 't run since I've been pregnant, but I might try it today. Light jogging.. I have to do something, i feel lazy.

Same clothes as last week..

Comps Part A

Well, I passed the first part of comps..now the real part begins.. So sad. I can't wait for all of this to be over. I'm still feeling pretty good. Some nausea every once in a while, but it passes, and still tired with really bad back pain. WE love our little Speck though!!
Saturday marks 5 weeks.. I'll post 4 week pics soon.

Our sweet little Speck has little arm and leg paddles this week, and a little eyespot. Look how cute he/she is. I have a feeling Speck is a boy, but who knows. Actually, I'm pretty sure Speck doesn't even know yet!!

5 week embryo--->>

Speck!

Well, I am still prego!! They did an ultrasound and I am only about 4 weeks actually.. He/she just shows up as a litle speck in my uterus, but other than that everything looks good. We spent 2.5 hrs at the Dr this morning and i get to go back in a month. Til then, it's just me and speck, hanging out.. :)

We had to listen to a nurse ask us all these stupid questions. She actually said in front of me "are you sure we should even bother? Is there really a baby? I mean, it's just a speck!" Crazy. But, she asked us about 800 questions about everything, gave us a free book and sent us to the lab for blood draws. 6 tubes of blood later, I am just happy that i have little speck, there is still tons of HCG and everything looks as expected, even though I'm a week behind what i thought i was :(

Happy monday everyone!!!

Excited and nervous...

An embryo at 4 weeks...

So, this morning (less than 8 hours) will be my first prenatal appt. I'm excited but i'm nervous at the same time. I've been having all of these worries..

• The baby will be ectopic


• I'm not really pregnant, it was just a fluke that the test was +


• The baby won't be growing


• My HCG will be too low and they'll expect me to miscarry..

Just worries.. Like, toss and turn at night worries..so this appt will help answer a lot of my questions.. I know i have done this before...but this is 5 years later.. I was only 20 the last time i was prego and as my boss says, "fertility favors the young and stupid" so i worry. Plus, I know a lot of people who have had problems getting pregnant and it just happened so quick..without us even knowing..so I worry!!

Plus, my thyroid problems are a lot more advanced now. I'm on synthroid and i finally know the value of taking it, but I still hope that it's effective (my thyroid disease causes increased miscarriages). I'm also not having a lot of symptoms of pregnancy.. I'm not nauceous, I'm not SUPER tired.. just a little tired, i'm dizzy a lot, but not all the time. I feel pretty good.. BUt maybe it's all the stress and deadlines i'm under that are preventing me from feeling like crap. I have already gained 3 lbs (sucks) and my jeans are getting tight. 3lbs should not make my jeans this tight!! SO anyway, wish me luck!! Here's to hoping all is alright!

Yes, You Heard Right..

Yay!! We are having a baby!!

We are 3 weeks in, so we have a lot of time still...but we are nevertheless very excited. Our due date is July 17, 2010. We are going to the Dr. tomorrow and are hoping everything is OK!

If you are reading this blog, that means you are one of our close friends or family because we're not telling everyone else until 8-12 weeks..

Mollee is hoping for a little brother, but I have no preference. Right now, I'm trying to focus on getting my comprehensive exams done and getting through with most of the STRESS i have to deal with this semester. We'll try to post as often as possible.

3 weeks in..
