Best Valentine's Day Gift...

So to say that I was a little nervous for my doctor's appointment and sonogram would be an understatement....I couldn't sleep very well Monday night and was so anxious Tuesday morning. Got to my appointment on time and the best part was that Jason made it right on time as well. Bad part, we had to wait 30 minutes past our appointment time to be seen. The lady was late!!! So I go into the room and push my pants below my belly like she said, she starts to do her thing and then tells me I need to push my pants lower, so of course I get scared that she can't see anything. Jason took my hand and I couldn't look at the screen. Finally I asked her if everything was ok and she was like "yup." Um hello, when were you going to say something??? I was freaking out, but in the end it was all good. I heard the heartbeat for like a second and then she was done. I guess because she was 30 minutes late, she needed to get each patient in and out quickly. No picture, but got a cd with a 2 second video of the sonogram, so of course I froze the screen and took a picture of that. Here it is...

Look at how there is a heart around the baby. I mean how much more perfect could that be? I am very excited that stress is over. Official due date is Sept. 20, 2012. It seems like FOREVER away, but I know that in no time I will be saying, oh my I can't believe the baby is here already. I really cannot wait until that time. Pregnancy doesn't really suit me well, but I know the end result will be worth it. I will try to stay updated on here. Next appt. is March 19th.

Updates:

So my 24/7 morning sickness was getting worst and I could barely keep anything down. I had to go to the doctor. It was a good thing though, because she put me on a couple of meds, which are helping a little bit, and also bumped up my appointment as well as my ultrasound. It was all good news for me, except that I had lost 6 pounds, which they said is normal because I was so sick and they will only be concerned if I don't put the weight back on once I can start eating normal again. Now we get to have our 1st ultrasound on Tuesday Feb. 14th. Hoping for lots of good results!!! I am excited, but nervous at the same time. I really want everything to be ok, but I know stressing about it can't change that.

My mom decided that she wanted to fly down for the 1st ultrasound and help me start my "cleaning" process. She flies in on Monday and is here for a week. I am very excited!!! It works out perfect, because Jason goes to NY next Thursday and I would have been left alone, which now I won't be. Still not sure if Jason will make it to the ultrasound or not, because he got called to do another Teen Wolf episode. Good for him, but I am sad he won't be there. We will see if he makes it back in time. :)

Well that is pretty much it for now and will be back with some news on Tuesday!

The journey began...

on Tuesday January 10, while Jason was at a friend's house playing poker. I hadn't been feeling right for days and something told me to take a pregnancy test. Sure enough it had 2 lines, even though 1 line was faint. I called my sister in law who I knew had taken a few tests when she found out she was pregnant and she said if it has 2 lines no matter how faint, it means pregnant. So I waited until morning to try the digital test and sure enough it said "PREGNANT." I woke Jason up and told him. He said "how do you know?" I showed him the test and he was in shock. I went to work and called the doctor when they were open. They scheduled me to come in that day and took a test of their own. It was also very faint so they said I must just be really early in the pregnancy. They did blood work and I had to call back the next day for the results. Blood results came in and showed I was pregnant for sure. That is when the real journey began for me. All of a sudden I had to be worried about what I ate, medicine I took, what I did and so on. The stress started almost immediately and I was scared to do something that would harm the baby. Then I got really sick with an upper respiratory infection. This lasted for almost 2 weeks. The doctor did put me on a zpack, which didn't work for me. I just had to fight it the best I could. At the end of this my morning sickness kicked in full blast. I think I would be ok if it was just in the morning, but I have been blessed with 24/7 morning sickness and it SUCKS!!! I am sick all day long. I am dizzy and can barely keep my food down, but I am pushing on through each day knowing that it will get better at some point. I also know that in the end it will all be worth it when I hold my little one. Speaking of that...I don't care what it is (boy or girl), I just want the baby to be healthy. I would love a little girl, but I know Jason wants a boy so either way I am fine. It would be great to have TWINS...1 boy and 1 girl. I would be all set and only have to go through this once. :)

I have already started gaining weight, well I am starting to get a belly, but I think my weight is just shifting, because I haven't actually gained any weight yet. I think I have lost weight from being so sick. As for telling people...for me it has been really hard to keep the secret. I am so excited and I want to shout it from the roof tops, but I know that something could happen and it will be harder for me the more people that I will have to tell. Right now we are taking it a day at a time and slowly telling people. Word is being spread though because people like to share the good news and I think by the time we officially announce it, everyone will already know.

I am praying for a healthy pregnancy, with no problems along the way, but I know whatever is meant to be will happen. I was always so scared I would never be able to get pregnant and now that I am, I am scared that something will happen. I know that worrying will not change the outcome (words from my awesome Mommy) so all I can do it hope and pray that all goes well.

My next doctor's appointment is February 21, which seems so far away. Then they will schedule my ultrasound for a week or 2 after that. As of right now (according to my last period) I am just over 7 weeks. I will know for sure after the ultrasound, which won't be until the end of this month. At that time, if everything is ok, I will make this blog live and announce to the world that in Sept. 2012 baby Hill will be arriving.
