2 Months!


So, it's official as of tomorrow I am 8 weeks pregnant. I'm so happy that this pregnancy is progressing relatively easily. I'm still not experiencing much in the way of morning sickness, just some infrequent nausea, and to date, no vomitting. I still am experiencing an array of other pregnancy symptoms. Most predominant right now is my extreme fatigue, which is leading to some hormonal outbursts when my sleep is interrupted. Class has been extremely tough this week, alls I want to do is sleep! Grandpap was up visiting from NC for Thanksgiving, I have not told him yet, as I want to see that everything is okay on the ultrasound December 8th. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving at Lynn and John's house, although the drive there with the ham in the trunk almost made me vomit. Yesterday, December 1, 2008, was my first OB appointment. I saw the most wonderful OB nurse, her name was Anne. She took all the time I needed to do an extensive medical and family history, and we even giggled about her running out of paper. She discussed testing options for genetic disorders with me and explained Madyson's birth defect in terms that I understand, which up until this point I had not. She then gave me a bunch of booklets and some nice freebies from Similac, oh and I almost forgot...TWO blood test slips. I then went to Quest Diagnositcs and got tested for everything thing under the sun from diabetes to cystic fibrosis. I hopefully will get all the test results next Monday, December 8, when I have the ultrasound done and meet with Dr. Black. The only thing I do not like about my OBGYN, College Heights, is that it is a NINE doctor practice, and I must see all of them, oh and I won't know who will deliver my baby until the day comes! OH well can't have everything! I praise God every day, many times a day, when I see there is no spotting. Anne told me I will be considered High Risk, but that as long as there is no spotting, nor any cramps that continue or are intolerable all seems well. What a comfort!
