Answers to Questions

My due date is still around October 14th. I measured a few days a head of where I thought I was, and my due date is still the same since it is within a week. Also, I have a sonogram picture but have not posted it yet. I see the doctor again on March 2nd.

Baby's 1st Photo

We had a sonogram yesterday and I measured around 6 weeks 4 days, so my due date has not changed. Baby Marshall is 1/4 of an inch and his/her heart beat was 122 bpm. The lady said everything looked good. Praise the Lord, for He is so good!!!

Lab Results

5 tubes later here are the results:

Blood Type: O negative; therefore, I will have to have the RH shot later on --- Oh man!!!!

My HCG level went up to 16,000 so that is very good.

Everything is going good so far and the results were good.

THANK YOU JESUS!!!!!

Another Lab

The other day when I saw the doctor I was suppose to get lab work done for blood type, anemia, RH factor. So today I went and 5 tubes later I fainted...LOL. Oh girls it is ROUGH! Praise the Lord I think I okay for a while with the blood work. I just don't know if I can handle it...dern. I fully understand I am drama when it comes to things like this, but at least I didn't cry this time. Magen or Jennifer it is your turn to take over, I am just too worked up...LOL. Anyways, I have a sonogram scheduled for this Thursday so hopefully all will be good. Please pray for me and poor Michael, who is getting the wrath...LOL.

Look what Magen emailed me after I told her (I couldn't help but laugh):
Oh mercy, if you faint one more time I am going to whoop you. I am going to face it I will only have 1 neice or nephew.

Saw the doctor

I met my doctor yesterday. She is a younger woman, who was extremely nice and down to earth. I pulled out my list of questions and she listened and answered them all. At first she looked at me like I was OCD because I had my list and everything. Well I am oblivious to everything concerning pregnancy so I would like to be aware of everything. I thought it was natural to have questions, but apparently some people go in there blind. Michael and I were pleased with the doctor and love the PA.

Prayers

I know that I could possibly be over reacting but this is my first go around and I am extremely in tune with every little thing. I have had some discomfort in my rib area and stomach. I can describe it as maybe stretching, possible gas, and mild pains some times. Of course I am alarmed. I have a ultrasound scheduled, but I am bumping it up. Am I being paranoid?

I am feeling it today...

Ok ladies, I am officially feeling some yuckiness and yall know I can't deal with yuckiness...LOL. I have the crackers, vitamin B6, sea bands, and ginger ale. Can we say OCD??? I am thankful I have a couch in my classroom so when my kids leave I rest and read a magazine...LOL. Any suggestions are welcomed.

Doctor Appointment Thursday

I have another doctor's appointment this Thursday. Please pray that all will go okay and that everything looks good and we get a lot of information from the doctor about how she does things. Also, I will probably have do another lab so I am not looking foward to that part. :(

Oh my...

To all my prayer warriors thank you. First of all, I had another doctor's appointment/blood work to make sure my HCG levels were going up. I am panicked already because it is blood work (don't laugh at me Mae and Jenn)and I am worried that something is wrong. I got my results back and all was fine, PRAISE THE LORD!!!

On another note, I DIDN'T PASS OUT!!!!! STILL CRIED, BUT DID'T PASS OUT!!!! This is HUGE for me. :)

Thank you Michael

Yesterday, Michael told me he had a surprise, and I am all about surprises. He pulled out a card and hand written inside was a letter expressing his joy and encouragement throughout this journey. Next, he pulled out a blanket with green on it and different shapes around the edges. Then he pulled a stuffed lamb that plays Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star out of his bag. It really made my day! It was sweet so thank you Michael.

Doctor Day #1

First of all, thank you Magen and Mama for keeping my secret. I went to the doctor today, cried, fainted, cried some more, then went home...LOL. All who know me well know that this is about typical for me. I am 4 weeks pregnant and due early October.
Please keep my family and me on your prayer lists.

Big News
