8 week scan today showed quite a difference from the 6 week blob. All measurements were good and I’ll be headed to see my regular OB soon. Here’s the photo of what I can only describe as the Tiniest Turtle. (Upgraded from Parasite)
Nothing super exciting going on this week, but I figured I could post a little update. I’ve finally found a good analogy to explain how I feel about “Being Excited About Being Pregnant!!!” Since not much has actually changed in my world (aside from an unmedicatable case of snot-attack this week, some mild “meh” nausea,… Read More 7 Weeks
Today was my big scan – so far it would appear I’m six weeks along. I’ve spent the past two weeks thinking about what it would be like if just *poof* it was all over and it would be time to try again. When Dr Scotchie came in to the room today, she said “wow,… Read More “That’s weird.”
If you’re wondering what’s been happening this week, you are not alone. The first week after I took the pregnancy tests was all kinds of busy and exciting. Two doctors appointments! Encouraging numbers both times! A scan was scheduled for the 7th. How exciting! This week? Crickets. I have gotten zero reassurance that this thing… Read More Crickets, Parasites, Blueberries
So based on these little apps (of which there are exactly ten thousand), I am starting my firth week of pregnancy. Uh, okay, sure. I have a scan at TRM on the 7th first thing in the morning, but otherwise I really still don’t FEEL very pregnant. Having so many friends who have recently gone… Read More Same Old, Same Old
There’s this movie that is SO ridiculous and I just love it – it’s called I Spy and has Owen Wilson and Eddie Murphy in it. I think it’s a remake of an old Bill Cosby TV show from the 1970’s, but the one I know is the more recent one. Anyway, there’s a point… Read More Rising and Rising
So the nurse called back and said that everything looked good and that my levels were at 128.7, which was “really good!” I found that encouraging but had no idea what it meant. I go back Wednesday morning to make sure the HCG levels are rising and then there will be a scan or ultrasound… Read More The Call Back
When I first worked in Internal Audit, we would do Risk Assessments and one of the first things you would ask about a process is WCGW – What Could Go Wrong? I’m 34 years old. I’ve got a lot of friends that have been through the excitement and then the sudden heart break of a… Read More WCGW
Let me be honest, over the past few days I’ve been taking pregnancy tests with questionable results. The thing about announcing a pregnancy is that 1,000 things could go wrong and it can all go sideways in an instant – especially in the first few months – which is why most people wait to bring… Read More And the Survey Says
Week One: Everyone keeps asking me “So, do you feel pregnant yet?” My answer is mostly “Uhhh… I dunno?” I don’t take a pregnancy test until Sunday the 21st, at the earliest. And there’s something kind of nice about not knowing. Much like my CPA exam result waiting period, it’s either going to happen or… Read More So, Do You Feel Pregnant Yet?
