First PreNatal Visit

7 6/7 weeks
Today was New OB Nurse Visit. Not really sure why I needed it, other than to get my blood work ordered and my pre-natal vitamin samples, but oh well. She gave me an approximate due date - we will be meeting our second child around February 11, 2006...an early Valentine's Day gift. The only changes I'm noticing so far is that I'm very tired and a little nausea throughout the day. I've not gotten sick so far, so that's a good thing!

God is Amazing!

7 3/7 weeks
This morning I went to Pekin Hospital to have some blood work done, a Quant Beta HCG and a Progesterone Level. Dr. Olt's nurse told me to call after 2:00 this afternoon for the results. I called around 3:00 and they hadn't received them yet and she said she'd call me when she had them...4:00 nothing, 4:30, nothing...so I called them at 4:45. They were closed! Nothing major, irritating, but no big deal. So I called mom to talk for awhile. at 5:00 my other line rang, it was Dr. Olt's nurse and the pregnancy test came back POSITIVE!!! I was so excited, and in tears! I clicked back over to mom's line and made an excuse to get off the phone so I could call Mike at work and tell him first. He was very excited. Then I promptly called my mom back and told her. We made several calls this evening to tell everyone our good news...so, it seems that we'll be meeting the newest member our our family (Grandpa Tom has predicted it's a boy) sometime in February of 2006...what a great, late birthday present...well worth waiting for!

The Begining...

Today begins the first day of us trying to have another child. I'm not looking forward to the medications and the way they make me moody, but if it's what we have to do, then so be it. I pray that it won't take too long this time around and that God would help me to keep my moods under control. I know that everything will work out in God's timing, so I won't get my hopes up too high. I will wait on his perfect timing, and if it happens to be this month, all the better. So...let the journey begin!
