Update on BW 6-4

I called my Dr.'s office to get me blood results from this past Wednesday, and WOW! My Progesterone in doing really good with the Prometrium pills. It was 29.4! The Dr. said anything above 18 was good, so I'm thankful for that. My HCG was 117,729 which is average for 7-8weeks, they don't really double as much once you hit 8 weeks, they actually decline a little. I'm eating some chex mix, the "Bold Party" they are so good! You need to try them! We are going to a b-day party this evening for Koriel at Gil's rest. and I think most people will be drinking since he has a Margarita machine, I have no idea how I'm going to play it off! Raul says to just order one and he'll take sips of it for me until it's gone. But I really don't know if that will work cause I would have to take a sip or two, and I really don't want to. I've been doing really good this pregnancy, no deli meats or anything I'm not suppose to.

WOW! Technology!!!

According to the BPM at 7 weeks this baby is a girl!!! I'll do it again next week if I get an U/S to see what it says.

Hello......

We have a new name if it's a girl "Samantha Grace" we love it! Whatever it is we will be so blessed, this little booger needs to stop giving me a hard time. I was having lots of bloody EWCM yesterday all day so I called my Dr. and I'm going today during lunch for a blood work (HSG Quan & Progesterone) and they moved my app. up to June 12th which will hopefully put me at 9 weeks. Today has been good no spotting at all. Yay! I put my 2 weeks notice here at work my last day here is on the 13th and I start at American General on the 16th. Mmmm, this morning for breakfast I had a Starbucks decaf java chip frap with a blueberry scone, Delish! I will be 8 weeks tomorrow and so far I think with my last pregnancy I was already showing a little, not with this one though. Maybe this is a girl and the one I lost was a boy. Hmm. Can you tell that I'm already anxious to know what this baby is? Only 8 more months! We're thinking of banking this baby's cord blood, I've been reading a lot about it and we are very interested, however I do feel bad that I didn't do Emily's but the rep I spoke with said there is a 75% chance that it will be compatible with Emily as well. I feel a little guilty that I want to do so much stuff this time around like the cord blood, breastfeeding and stuff like that. I just feel like I know a lot more now than what I did with Emily, I was only 2-3 yrs younger but I do so much more reading now about all this baby stuff. With Emily everything was just so simple, we had a baby, we brought her home and fed her formula and that was that. So I guess we'll just wait and see what happens.

I heard the Heart Beat!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had my appointment today with my new Dr., Dr. Turner he was awesome!! Very nice and very helpful! My ultrasound was really good we got to here the baby's heart beat it was 155bpm which is really good. I am measuring 7 weeks which is perfect and an Edd of Jan 15th. He put me on Prometrium 200mg a day orally (thank God for that!) He said they might make me feel nauseous or dizzy if not taken with enough food and water, so hopefully they don't make me feel sick. We are going to Laredo this weekend for a graduation and Mom and Dad will be there, the last thing I need is to vomit all weekend long! My next appointment is June 23rd, I will be a little over 10 weeks, and praying that everything stays good between now and then.

Hmmm, could it be a BOY???

I was telling one of my co-worker's about the ER this past weekend and she was like, "It is definitely a Boy! He's giving you a hard time already!!" Hahaha, I thought that was funny and maybe true! Argh! I wonder how many guesses we will have up to the day of delivery, this should be interesting. It really doesn't matter what we have, but I am kind of thinking of a girl just so Emily can have her playmate and best friend. But a boy would also be really new to us and fun. So we'll see!!! We will just have names picked out for each, so far for a boy it is "Julian Raul" and for a girl I have several: Eliana, Ellie, Olivia and Kaylee. Who know what we'll end up with. My boobs are extremely sore today! They feel weird. Damn I just realized that spell check doesn't recognize the name Eliana, I wonder if she'll suffer later in life with that name!! Like me! Oh well I think it's pretty and we will call her Eli for short.

Yet another scare!

On Sunday I started actually bleeding, I could have sworn it was over, I was mad more than anything. I kept asking God, "What can we possibly learn from 2 m/c in a row!" But then I just started to pray, and it made me feel a lot better. The bleeding continued throughout the day with mild cramping, my Mom was here so we waited until she left around 10:00pm and we went to Clear Lake Regional ER, we were there for 8 hours!!!!!! But all the staff was really nice to me, they did an U/S and the tech wouldn't say anything to me, at that point I just gave up. I finally seen the Dr. an hour after that an he said the U/S was normal!! Yep, it was normal he said I am measuring 6w3d which is what I thought since the beginning and that puts me at a new week every Friday, he also said that the baby had a strong good heartbeat, Hooray!! I think he said my HCG was like 52,000 which is good for 6-7 weeks. I'm not sure if I wrote this already, but I switched Dr.'s again I see Dr. Turner this Thursday in Clearlake. While I was praying yesterday I realized that there is nothing more important as far as this pregnancy goes than for the baby to be okay, not even determining the sex of the baby. So yes you heard that right! We decided that this will be a Surprise baby! I know it will be very hard for all of us, but in the end it might be kind of exciting!!!!

HCG and Prog Update

I called my nurse today and finally got a hold of her regarding my numbers from the 16th they where really good! My HCG was 16,503! Yay! My prog. went up a little but it had only been 3 days since my daily meds so it went up to 6.3 hopefully by now they are above 9 where they're suppose to be. I have the sweetest Nurse ever, her name is Christina, but poor girl she has no clue on a lot of stuff! When she read me my HCG she said, "Is that good for you, or is that to high?" She's asking me!! A real Nurse would know that those numbers where awesome and that they are doubling beautifully, but that's a good thing that she's super nice cause I would have just lost it by now. I've been really snappy lately, especially here at work! Pauline says that my horns come out!LOL....
