Desperate for GUMMYS!

Ok things are very very boring around here. Basically I wake up and contemplate actually getting up or not. The progesterone is making me so sick. I think I have to keep taking it until week 14 so let the countdown begin... BLAH! I am in denial about cravings, but last night we went to Wal-mart with a friend and I told Joey I HAD to get some gummy worms. So i head over to the candy section and I saw the gummy worms and my eyes lit up! YEAH for gummy worms! But them I saw the sour patch kids and I thought, "well those are gummy AND sour... yum!" BUT then I saw the sour bright crawlers and I thought, "Well those are gummy WORMS AND are sour... YUM YUM!" So basically i walked back to joey with three bags of candy in my hands. I felt a smart comment coming on about the amount of candy I was buying and I quickly shot him a look telling him to BACK OFF! Then it occured to me... maybe I have a few minor cravings... maybe! :)

Ok here are the sonogram pics. (We got a scanner-yippee!)

Here is the first one from the 20th. I am measuring 4 weeks, 6 days...

And here is the second one from Halloween. I am 6 weeks, 3 days and this is when we heard and saw the heartbeat!

Getting excited!

Now I am going to try to rest up so that I can go to church tonight.

I'm a bad blogger!

Well Erica said I was bad at updating this thing so I had this hope that I would be a blogging fool! I was going to update everyone on our little monkey's progress and all the things in our life. Well the truth is I am one pooped petunia and to be comepletely honest... I am SHOCKED that I am still awake right now (it is 7:09pm). So I am going to do my best on updating, but don't expect much until my 2nd trimester... we are counting down!

So here is my update. We went for another appointment last Friday, Halloween. We were so excited because the Dr said we may be able to hear the heartbeat. So we go in and start with the ultrasound. The baby is growing right on schedule! A huge sigh of relief! Then we heard it... our little baby's heartbeat! It was faint, but quit strong and we were in shock. It was probably the most beautiful thing I have ever heard in my entire life! It was amazing.

Well the purpose of the appointment was mainly to keep an eye on my progesterone. A lot of women who have PCOS have low levels of progesterone during their first trimester which can lead to pregnancy loss. My Dr. wanted me to supplement just in case and as it turns out my levels were a little low. It wasn;t too low, just on the lower side of normal. The decision was made to keep my on the progesterone until my 14th week . Everything else was great. My BP was a little higher than it was just 10 days ealier, but it was still normal. I was basically told to get more rest. So that is what I am going to do! :)

I don't have scanner here at the house so I can't scan the sonogram pics yet, but I will just as soon as I am able to.

And now it is time to bed. It has been a long day and this little monkey wants me to get some shut eye!
