taking a turn

This week I have felt like I can do more. Like my energy is coming back. Granted, I am still alot more tired than before I was pregnant. I'm embarrassed to say, but my house has been neglected alot lately due to my constant need to sleep. I have been so lazy. Last night I deep cleaned the master bedroom and bathroom and put a dent in our laundry. I feel so much better already. We are having friends over from out of town next weekend and I want the house perfect for thier stay. I am freak about anyone seeing my house a mess. Our friends just had a baby girl in December and I just can't wait to have a baby in the house. We got our changing table this weekend too. Our appointment for our new OB is in 6 days and we are both excited. I think we will hear the heartbeat. I can't imagine how wonderful that sound is.

little update

Keeping up with a blog is hard work.....

A little update: 8weeks 5days, I had major cramping that night, decided I wouldn't call the on call number my doctor gave me and wait it out until the morning. When I woke up they weren't as bad and then throughout the day they got worse. Finally about 2:30 that afternoon I they were really bad and I had a feeling something was wrong. I went to the bathrrom and checked my cervix and I had a very tiny bit of spotting. I called the doctor in a panic and he said that implanatation occurs around weeks 7 and 8 and that is what it could be. I was like what the hell are you talking about? Implantation occurs in week 3!!!!! I am no doctor but I know that much. I was furious with the answer he gave me and he could tell so he told me to come in and get checked out and he would do an ultrasound. I went in that afternoon knowing it would be my last time visiting him. He did the ultrasound and I got to see the most amazing little creature in this world. Our baby!!! One, perfect, beauitful, beating heart. I felt better immediately. The next Monday I did some research on my doctor and found out that his license had been revoked a few years ago due to what I am assuming is sexual harassment. I called a doctor who was highly recommended to me and now I feel tons better and haven't even seen the new doctor.

My new doctor's appointment is on Feb 2nd (11weeks 4days) Hopefully they will do an ultrasound and use the doppler that day. I can't wait to here the sound of the heart beating. Since I switched doctors that switched the hospital I will deliver at and I am more pleased with the new hosiptal as well. I think it was a great dexicsion all around.

We did an intelligender test and it said BOY. I could still bet money that it will be a girl, but the test said boy. We will see in about 7 weeks.

2nd appointment went very well..

Tuesday we went to our 8 week appointment and I must say that it was alot easier and more pleasant than the first appointment at 4 weeks. The doctor let me ask my mulitple questions and told me that I would have an ultrasound in 3 weeks. I will be 11 weeks 2days then. He also told me it was safe to drive to Myrtle Beach in March and to fly home. He said I needed to stop bowling asap. I know a few ladies who bowled right into thier 3rd trimester and were fine so I am going to continue to bowl until I get further along. That is pretty much the only updates I have so far. I will give an update within the next few days. ttfn

Out with the old in with the new..

Well this week has been pretty eventful with the tears. Yesterday I had a complete melt down because I want to change doctors and can't find the right one. I am not really 100% sure why I want to change I just know that my current doctor rubs me the wrong way. That being said I am going to my final appointment at his office on Tuesday and hopefully I can find a new doctor before the next appointment.

I am in the process of buying a new car. My car now is a 2008 BMW 328i. It is a very small sedan. I love it so much and hate parting ways with it but it is just not a mommy car. I am looking at the 2011 GMC Terrain's. I really, really, really want a Terrain. It has just enough room for the three of us without being too big. We have a vacation planned for the end of March and we are driving 12 hours so hopefully we will have the Terrain or another SUV type of vehicle before we take the trip.

Holidays are over

Back to work this morning a I couldn't be more happier about it (insert sarcasm here). Over my New Year's holiday my great-grandmother passed away. She was in her late 80's and very sick. She was bed ridden and suffering so I am so glad that she isn't suffering anymore. It hurts the worst seeing my grandmother so sad. I can't imagine what she is going through or how she is dealing with it. She is such a strong woman but you can tell she is breaking.

Changing the subject to a more positive note: Ali and I went shopping yesterday and bought all kind of good stuff. Ali got her diaper bag. It is a navy blue columbia diaper bag and she will have the New York Yankees emblem monogramed on it because she LOVES the yankees. We got 2 gender nuetral pajama outfits and pack of wash cloths, socks, shoes, bibs, and I bought a lot of maternity things that were on sale. I am getting so excited about finding what the sex of the baby is. My aunt swears to me that it is twins. I just don't think so. I know there is a possibility that she is right but I don't feel it. We will know soon enough on January 24th.
