Quick post - week 6ish

I'm too tired to post right now; but I wanted to post.  I'm doing really well, just tired - I really wouldn't know I was pregnant except well, I know I'm pregnant... hehe

One of my best friend's had her baby today - I wish I had been able to see the baby, but he was in the NICU - apparently she has the 'hips' to deliver and had him really quickly.  She should be home on Saturday; hopefully we'll be able to go see them all soon.

Oh - and Shaft set up a baby blog - I'll post the link to it on Saturday.  I think I'll move to there this weekend.... and put this blog on hold.

Ultrasound TODAY!!!!

Today was the big day - ultrasound day...  Shaft picked me up, and off we went.  They got us back quickly and the U/S went well, as soon as she put the wand in we could see that little baby - doesn't look like much at this point, but it's our baby, and we could see the heart beating, she turned it on for a sec and we could even hear it - woosh woosh woosh.

I can't seem to figure out how to load up the video; but here is the still image.

Out with friends last night

Last night I went over to a friends out - for singing and dinner. There were 8 women there; and 5 of them were pregnant (not including me) one is single and she left early; another one is married, but she already has 3 kiddos.  It was really crazy talking with these ladies; and trying not to spill the beans myself; a couple of ladies knew I was pregnant, but they didn't spill either. It was a lot of fun having my little secret that most didn't know about.  One of the girls asked me how my Dr appointments this last month were going - I told her that they were going well, and that I was just having a lot of blood work done.  I cannot wait until next Saturday to spill the beans.

I also cannot wait until my ultrasound on Monday.

Good weekend

I didn't do much this weekend; we went and visited some friends Friday night, Saturday I didn't do much other than sleep in late and watch college football, I don't think I ever got dressed...  Today we went to church and then napped this afternoon, and back to church tonight.

I have been really enjoying chips and salsa a lot these past few days, so for dinner I was going to make a chicken wrap and have some chips and salsa with it. Well, we go to the store and get the chicken, etc - but I get home and we didn't have any tortillas, so I just made a 'wrap' with white bread.  It worked, but it was a bit odd but oh well.

Yes, at the store we bought some bread & butter pickles - yum, and some ice cream, well, it was rainbow sherbet. I have no intention of eating both of them together though  But the catina pop-d out a coupon for pampers; apparently they know something there.

I have been feeling great - no real symptoms or anything, it kinda makes me nervous; but knowing that my blood work has been good gives me the ability to relax some, and enjoy this.

I'm still in shock though; there are times that I don't even realize how this is possible, we have been trying for so long it got to the point that our life was trying, we never thought it would actually happen, now that it's happened I'm not sure how prepared we really are - I know we have 8ish months to prepare, but now of course I'm going to worry about messing this kid up, not teaching him/her right, etc.

I'll try to post frequently, but it's a pain b/c I can't post at work, I have to post at home... which is when I'm normally playing games on the computer
I didn't do anything to the google reader; but I hope that it's working for y'all - I couldn't find any security thing to fix it.

Doing well

I cried watching last week's episode of the Biggest Loser tonight.  Yea, I have issues.

I have been feeling pretty well, still very nervous, but I'm some of the queasiness makes me think that things are going well - we shall see on Thursday.

I cannot access even my own blog at work now; it's a royal pain.  I'll be limited to night-time updates now - uggh. Unless of course I can figure out a fairly easy way to update on my phone. Apparently working is something they actually want us to be doing

I have entered a couple of tickers; the last one didn't seem to work right; so I tried again; and the other one is just too cute.

Anyway, I should update again tomorrow, with my week 5 information.

Best moment this week: Getting that 214 hCG and 49.1 progesterone number from my RE's office. Oh and realizing my parents can jump up and down thru the phone... my mom was just wow...

Movement: nope

Food cravings/aversions: No cravings... but greasy foods just sound nasty to me.

Belly Button in or out? In

What I miss: at this point... nothing

What I am looking forward to: My repeat beta next Thursday; and U/S around the 15th.

Weekly Wisdom: Seriously - uh... try to relax

Milestones: That BFP on those pee sticks.

214!!!

I'm sooo excited - my hCG was 214; and my progesterone is 49.1 - I am seriously on cloud 9 right now.

Shaft of course is saying something to the effect that he thinks that I'm almost pregnant. I told him that either you are, or you aren't pregnant - no such thing as almost...
