News from the doctor's office.....

I talked to the nurse today about my test results. My HCG levels were 51,989. Very high which is very good. I means that the pregnancy is healthy and that I probably won't have to be on medication. HOORAY!!!!!!! That would explain why I am sicker than a dog. Happy to be actually if it means I am having a healthy pregnancy. This too shall pass right?

Now we just have to wait till the 5th so we can get a peek at our little jellybean. Can't wait!!

more....

I went to my appointment on Tuesday and met with met with my midwife Sara. She is wonderful and is going to make this pregnancy so much better. She is already referring to this little one as "she". Let's hope she is right. I still had to be tested for my Progesterone levels but Sara is very encouraging about the fact that I am already sicker than a dog and extremely tired. Good signs of a healthy pregnancy with out the progesterone intervention. maybe I won't have to take it this time. That would be so nice. I still hope I hear from the office about where my levels are.

More to come......

What to do?

I tried to make an appointment with a new doctor but they can't get me in until April 3rd. I need to see someone before that because my last two miscarriages have been at 6 and 7 weeks. With Dawson I got in at 5 weeks and was put on the heavy duty progesterone right away and that seemed to do the trick. I called my old doctor's office and they can get me in next week. I will even get to see the midwife which is what I wanted anyways. I just hope that I don't have to see the doctor that shall remain nameless that made the end of my last pregnancy such a pain...no pun intended. There are two other providers there that I guess I could request instead if needs be. The one that delivered Dawson was a great guy and he was LDS also so he respected some of the requests that Adam and I had. tI guess we will have to see what happens after Tuesday next week.

More announcments

We told my Parents tonight. They were very excited. They loved the picture and Mom is already to take it to Church and brag. 

Sent an e-mail to Nana and Papa to announce to them. 

Now I need to just get into a doctor. I am going to call a place tomorrow that came recommended by my friend Tori. Not sure yet what I am going to do about the insurance so I might have to pay out of pocket a couple of times but if it gets me in the door and on the right track then great. 

Told the boys

We told Chandler today at dinner that he was going to be a big brother again. He says he suspected something like that was coming because Adam asked him on Sunday if he had a choice between a brother or sister in the future what would he want. I guess Adam was a little excited on Sunday. 

I told Dawson yesterday that he was going to be a big brother and that Mommy had a baby in her tummy. He said "I know". I asked if he wanted a girl or a boy baby and he said "girl". I guess Adam asked him the same thing on Sunday (so much for him keeping secrets) and Dawson said "boy". Guess we will have to wait 4 more months to find out. 

I made up the cutest pictures of my positive pregnancy test and put "Coming 11-11-11" on the bottom, framed it and that is going to be what we give my Parents to tell them this weekend. 

Still need to find a doctor. Not sure if I want to go back to the old office and hope I don't have to have an encounter with a certain Dr or should I find somewhere new that will deliver at Deaconess. Oh the decisions. I just need to do something soon because I am still panicked about something going wrong.

And it starts

We took the test and it came out positive. 

What are we going to do? Adam and I are both happy and scared out of our wits. I know we weren't exactly "not" trying but we also had been not "not" trying for 7 months and nothing had happened. I had decided that if it didn't happen this month we were done and Adam was going to go get snipped. Guess someone up there really wants us to add one more blessing to this family.  As of right now my due date would be 11-11-11. How cool is that?

I hope to use this as a sort of pregnancy journal. I will try to update as often as possible.
