5 weeks 4 day!

Hello all! This is my first post. In this blog I plan to document my entire pregnancy journey. I'm doing this mainly for myself however later in pregnancy it may be nice to keep friends and family updated on my progress.

We found I was pregnant on October 21, 2009. Again, this was a surprise but I can't it was a HUGE shock. We were NOT trying but it is very welcome. After we lost our previous baby "Peanut" in January, we realized that every child is blessing and that if we are blessed with another child, whenever the time may be, it's a gift. Thought the timing may not be the BEST in the world, because honestly, I could think of better times... we are still thrilled to be expecting our Rainbow!

So far, so good. Everything is going as expected. I'm still very early. I feel like I'm holding my breath and just HOPING that this little one sticks. My hcg levels have been ok. They doubled so that's a good sign. I'm waiting on my 3rd blood draw results right now. I should hopefully have those by tomorrow, though last week my stupid Dr.'s office made me wait til Wednesday morning! I was livid. My first ultrasound is this Friday at 1:30. I will be 6w1d (w=week, d=day) so we'll see if we see a heartbeat. It might be a bit too early.
As for symptoms, today has been the worst days as far as nausea goes. I'm not sure if it's actual morning sickness or the progesterone pills.

Currently I am a prenatal, DHA to help with brain development (we want a smart baby! lol), baby aspirin to help with blood clotting, Progesterone because mine was low and baby needs it to grow, and Lovenox which is a shot I take once daily (for now) to help with blood clotting as well. I'm having to do a LOT to keep this one in there. As long as it keeps me and baby healthy, I don't mind.

I guess that's all for now. I'll keep this updated as often as I can. I HOPE to write in it every day here at first to document symptoms and such but... yeah I'm lazy so that probably won't happen. :-P
