Scarey Situation and an ultrasound picture

On Friday I had a bit of a scare.

I noticed some bleeding but I thought it was ok, but then this dark red (almost black) like substance came out and for a while there I thought the outcome was going to be really bad.

I called Kaiser and they sent a message to my doctor and I waited at home for a few hours, then I started having some pelvic pain. So I called again and they booked me to go in and see an OBGYN.  I went and he did an ultrasound to make sure everything was fine.

The heartbeat was strong and I seen how much this little one has grown.  It's truly crazy.  I started to cry but for good reasons.  I realized even more how much this is a miracle.

I guess he or she just wanted me to see him or her and know everything is okay.  The head looks like it's to the side and looking to your left you can see where the eyes are, the nose, a bit of the ear, the lil arm limbs and the heart.

9 Weeks

Blueberries heartbeat

Today was my 2nd doctor's visit.  I heard the heartbeat.

But it was there!  I'm trying to upload for you to hear what i'm talking about, but it's not working =( so just imagaine it sounding like a cross mix of Pac-Man and a Washing Machine.

Here is a picture to see the little Blueberry:

It looks more like....i don't know but if your new to looking at these kinds of pictures, it's the lighter side of the black cashew looking part.  Not much to look at this point huh?

Sweet Pea

Week 6 - Sweet Pea



I woke around 3am this morning to pee and had 1 last test just to make sure.  I went back to sleep and when I woke up, two lines.  Again.

I went to my OBGYN doctor today.  He did an ultrasound. It's really official.  Like on my medical record official.

He said I'm 6weeks and 6days as of today.  Holy Moly.  I usually get some type of sign if it were someone else but it just didn't hit me. At. All!

I seen the sac, and a little (it looked like a clam shaped thingy from super mario 3 type) bump and what I read online it's the size of a Sweet Pea!

That little clam shaped thingy is my baby!

We didn't hear a heartbeat but it maybe too early for that as far as my doctor was concerned so next week, we will check to see what's going on.  He also had me do some labwork for a 'quantitive' whatever....to make sure my hcg levels keep rising.  SO SAY some prayers because well...just say them. =)


Week 6 Development



My Baby's Development:
My baby's jaw, cheeks, chin, eyes, ears, and nose are beginning to form.  The kidneys, liver, and lungs are developing, and heart is now beating 80 times a minute (and getting faster every day).

Moi:

Frequent urination: mmmm...maybe i've been in the bathroom more often.  Not too sure, haven't kept track.

Fatigue: I thought it was my thyroid.  I guess it's a combination.



Breast tenderness and changes: OHMG yes they are.  I didn't realize until I read this and yes they are sensitive!

Nausea and vomiting: My doctor prescribed me some pills for this. Yay!

Heartburn and indigestion: ugh, I keep burping my lunch.  No bueno!
Bloating:

Increased sense of smell: Ugh, yes, I can smell Cilantro from 2 units away.
