Update

I finally called the Doctor today and she said the spotting and cramps are totally normal after those exams and just for me to try to relax and take it easy. They told me the warning signs that do warrent a call though...so I feel MUCH better now!

Unfortunately Dh came home from being out of town very sick. Had to spend the afternoon at the doctors with him and he had a chest xray-the Dr thinks its Pneumonia. He's running a temp of 100.9 and I'm terrified for the baby since they told me Monday not to get a fever over 100.4. I sure hope I don't get sick too!!

First Ultrasound

We had the first u/s today and it went pretty well. Lots of nerves at first when all we saw was an empty sac for several minutes. But eventually we got to see the little tadpole! And boy is he/she little-u/s tech had a HARD time finding the little bean...and she was highly trained with a level 2 u/s, big monitor and had to turn the resolution all the way up!

But we got to see it-and saw the heartbeat that measured at 122 bpm!!! I think that's pretty good for 6 weeks 6 days...maybe not the best-but way better than the last pregnancy!!

After a 4 hour long doctor appt with u/s, internal exam, PAP, 9 vials of blood taken, H1N1 vaccine given, 24 hour urine test to take home and tons of brochures. We were ready to collapse.

Of course by the time we got home I had started spotting and cramping again-seems to be getting worse by the minute.

The good news is that my "morning sickness" began this week-threw up twice on Friday and 3 times on Sat. Just once Sunday and today-yay! I feel (and look) absolutely horrible...but anything for the baby!!!
