Still Too Early To Tell

I just got back from my first ultrasound. I thought I was right at six weeks, but she said I might be a bit earlier than that. She could only see the yolk sac, but no fetus with heartbeat yet. I go back on December 1st for another ultrasound, hopefully the little bugger will show up then. She said i shouldn't be alarmed unless there is no change when I go back. I am going to try not to worry, but that probably won't happen.

Getting Ready for Ultrasound

Make a pregnancy ticker

On Tuesday, November 18th, at about 6 weeks along, I will have my first ultrasound to make sure everything is going along ok. I am a bit nervous saddened about going by myself. On the other hand I am trying to stay postive about taking on this life-long adventure on my own. It is going to be a thrilling rollercoaster ride of emotions.

On different websites that I have checked, they say that I am anywhere between 5 1/2 and 6 1/2 weeks pregnant. I am curious to see what the ultrasound shows and what Dr. Dress thinks. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I will see that flickering heart beat, but know that it might be a tad to early for that. Most importantly I just want to comfirm that everything looks ok.

A Grateful Mom to Be

After doing all of the math over and over again. I figured out that my due date is July 12th. I am 5 weeks and 1 day pregnant. How exciting...a July baby. After all of my doubts and fears about conceiving, I am very grateful to be expecting this bundle of joy in July. I have my first ultrasound on November 18th.

On Monday I had 2 interviews in Tampa, which went really well. I also looked at a few apartments. I can't wait to set up a happy home in Tampa for my new little family.

How am I feeling so far? So far I feel great! I am a bit more tired and seem to be traveling to bathroom much more, especially in the middle of the night. So far, So good!!

Is that a line or am I seeing things?

On November 1st at 3am I took a pregnancy test. As I sat their staring at it, I expected to see nothing, just like each of the last 10 months. Then somthing VERY faint started to appear. Is that a line? Maybe it is too early in the morning and I am imagining things. I woke my cousin, Christina up to help me make my mind up. She said for sure something was there, but it sure was faint. So needless to say I had some trouble getting back to bed. Later that eveing I took another test, and sure enough, another faint line. After a restless night I called Dr. Dress in the morning. She got me right in and confirmed my pregnancy with another urine test. She also called in a blood lab to confirm. At the end of the day Monday it was official! I am going to be a mom!
