Night Life
9 weeks and 1 day today. I have been doing fairly well, usually evening hunger pains (1 hr. after dinner) accompanied by nausea accompanied by sore boobs. I have evening nausea vs. morning sickness, did with Makenzie also. The difference so far is that starting yesterday the nausea and hunger and sore boobs have disappeared. Which didn't happen till 2nd trimester before.
I used the phrase "I don't feel pregnant" when I left a message on the OB nurse line.
Here is the thing, last night I laid in bed worried that there may be something going wrong and I needed to hear the HB. So, when I finally did fall asleep, dreams of dead babies danced through my head all evening. Lovely, A?I talked myself down this morning and just relaxed and rested all day until my hubby and a phone call from a friend encouraged me to "just call the OB and see if you can get some reassurance or possibly have a Doppler monitor performed."
Well, the nurse was helpful and told me it would be too early for the Doppler to detect a hb, but that if I was having great anxiety and losing sleep to call back in and have an u/s performed. She also said that "don't feel pregnant" is a typical concern for many mothers. "Just realize that hormones are constantly changing right now and every pregnancy is different."
So, I have decided to try and hang in there till the 31st for our next visit.
I am definitely gonna be ordering a Doppler. Any advise a selecting one and where to go?

Pretty in Pink
I have not been able to get online till today.
We have had company all wkend and it has been go, go ,go!
So....
WE HAVE A PEANUT WITH A HEART BEAT OF 132 BPMs.
Dr. W is amazing and was just as thrilled as we were to see the little flicker. He jokingly said, "and if you believe the wives tale, it's a boy" which I quickly replied, "Dr. W we have a hell of a lot a pink he's gonna be wearing"!

Holding our Breath
Well, we did not see a heartbeat, but the Doc says everything looks great. He says, being only 6 wks we were a little early to possibly see a HB, but that the measurements and the yolk sac look very promising. We were able to see the little peanut -well more like a small piece of rice on the u/s, but it was very tiny.
So guess who has to come in for u/s #2 on this Thursday. Doc feels we definitely should see a heartbeat by then. That is, if indeed there is gonna be one. I guess I am still trying to keep myself neutral on the whole situation for now.
It has been getting harder to keep it from friends, they are all getting suspicious as to why I am not hanging out and drinking cocktails on the wkends right now. We have concocted a lie about a kidney infection. Good grief, I hate lying! I just don't want them to have to go through the roller coaster of emotions right now. We will tell most of them if there is a hb Thursday.
I do have to say that Odouls has a pretty tasty amber beer out now. I don't recall that being around last year.
Sorry for the delay in posting the results, I didn't really think anyone was reading.I will try and do better. Have a great 4th. When you watch the fireworks , think of my Makenzie also, she would have loved em from this view.
