So Spring Break is over. And with break time gone, apparently morning sickness has decided now was a good time to begin.
I woke up nauseaus this morning. And it never went away. I haven't thrown up, but have wanted to. You know when you are sick and feel sick to your stomach and think, man if I could just vomit I would feel sooo much better? Yeah all day like that!
I am thinking maybe this is a sign that the placenta has begun to take over now? It is supposed to happen around 8 weeks, and today I am 8w3d, so it makes sense right?
My next appt is a week from tomorrow. T will not be able to go :-( I think after this appointment, I will be released from the RE's office and go to the OBGYN's office. I have been to this OBGYN once, when he put me on clomid, unmonitored. I guess I will go back to him, since I haven't gotten any other good reviews from anyone up here. If I end up not liking him, there are several other Drs in his practice.

Week 8
Tomorrow marks the start of week 8! Baby is about the size of a rasberry, or .63" and .04 ounces. Baby has arms and legs that are not near as webbed as they were last week ha!
As for me, I am down 4 pounds as of my first weigh in at the Dr. However going by my scale at home, I am the same. (The first appt I was so extremely bloated! It looked like my hands and feet had marshmallows stuffed in them). But now that the bloating is gone, first thing in the morning my weight is back where it was 6 weeks ago pre-pregnacy.
Also, no real sickness yet. I am surprised I haven't gained 239848234 lbs yet since I have been eating nonstop to keep the sickness away. No real vomiting yet, just some nausea and as long as I have food in my stomach I am fine.
The exhaustion though is killing me! Luckily Wy has been sleeping until 9/9:30 which to his body is only 8/8:30 (at least one good thing comes from DST). Bt by mid-afternoon I am more than ready for a nap! And by 8 pm I am ready for bed. At which time I really should go to bed, but I don't. I usually stay up and watch the news. So I make it to bed by 11ish. You would think that 10ish hours of sleep would be enough. Maybe it would be if I slept though the night. I wake up because I am too hot, so I open a window. Then I wake up because I am too cold. So I add a blanket. Then I wake up sweating and have to listen to the neighbors loud dog barking at 5:30am. Jerks. Or I wake up because Wy wakes up and wants in bed. Or I wake up because Wy is being a bed hog. For being 3' tall and 30lbs, he sure can take up a majority of a king size bed!
So, for those of you who haven't had kids yet. Get your sleep in now. Sleepless nights don't start after the baby is born. Oh no, it starts after that + comes back on those home preg tests. Between needing to pee, unbalanced body temperatures, uncomfortableness, and on round two, a sleepless toddler or baby.

Heartbeat!
We got to hear the heartbeat on Monday! It was 150 bpm! The little gummi bear looked like it was doing a touchdown in there!
When we got home, I showed Wy the u/s picture. I showed him where the baby was and he kissed it and yelled My baby! He is absolutely smitten with this whole baby idea. His favorite thing right now to do is ask where the baby is, I will show him my tummy and he will shove his finger in my belly button, yell baby, giggle, then run off. Then he usually does the same thing to himself. Lifts his shirt, pokes his belly button, yells MY baby, and giggles! Love this!
We go back to the RE in two weeks for one more final appointment with him. Then we will be switching back to the regular ol' OBGYN. In two weeks I am also hoping that I can stop taking the progesterone suppositories. Hate those! But at least they are working. My progesterone level was up to almost 36 Monday. So in reality it is probably MUCH higher because the suppositories aren't absorbed directly into the blood stream, they are absorbed directly where it is needed.
So that is what is going on in the world of baby!

How it all went down
So, we had gone to the RE for our initial consult and I was waiting on my period for my day 3 blood tests. My period came right on time, February 9. On Thursday, it went to jst spotting, but there was definitely flow that Wednesday. Friday came and my period was completely gone, but I went to do the blood tests, I called the RE's office to let them know of my wacky period and se said as long as I had flow on Wednesday to go ahead and do the tests. But call Monday to update them on the disappearing period. The nurse also asked if I could be pregnant. I laughed and said well, after 15 months its possible, but not all that probable. However I picked up a pregnancy test just in case.
Saturday, I woke up and peed on a stick. Within a few minutes it came back +. All I could say is Holy shit! Over and over. I couldn't believe it. So I took Wy and myself to Walgreens and got one of the digital 3 packs. They all came back PREGNANT.
Well husband didn't get home until midnight from his trip, so I had all.day.long to keep it a secret and find a cute way to tell him. I made Wy a shirt that said big brother and put it on him. And I left all the pg tests on the counter. But by the time he got home, Wy and I were both passed out in my bed. So I pulled the blanket down to show husband the shirt. His face was awesome. He looked at me and said really!? I then pointed to the bathroom, and then promptly fell back asleep. I was exhausted! Not the most fantastic way of telling him, but it did the trick haha!
So thats how we found out that we finally did it! Oh, and I called the RE's office back on Monday, who were just as shocked as we were, although they said this did explain my crazy high blood tests!!
