Still alive and still pregnant!

Whew, work has been picking back up and I am wiped by the time I get home. But everything is going well here. I am 10w4d, still feeling no symptoms (except I get tired a little more easily). I am not sleeping very well at night. No matter what time I go to bed I wake up for 2 hours in the middle of the night. Its quite annoying. I think its mostly because I used to be a stomach and side sleeper and now its not as comfortable on my stomach so I am trying to stay just on my sides but I get very uncomfortable.

We had another u/s on Friday and the baby looked great. The heartbeat was very fast (180bpm) (is there such thing as too fast?? Most of what I have read says normal is 120-160). We even saw a small movement so that was exciting. Our next u/s (NT scan) is two weeks from yesterday!!

If all is well at that appointment, we will be telling our families over easter. My mom already knows so no special announcement for her but I ordered two onesies for my dad and stepmom that say Pepere's Punkin (with a picture of a pumpking) and Memere's lil' monster since the baby will be here (god willing) close-ish to Halloween. I am not sure how Y will tell his parents. He is trying to find a special way but isn't coming up with anything.

That is really all that is new. I told myself that if everything was ok at last Friday's u/s I would get a ticker (which I did on the Nest) and start posting weekly updates. So this is my week 10 update!!

First o/b appt...check!

I just got back from my first o/b appt with this pregnancy. I have prayed and prayed that I would make it this far and so far so good!

I am 8w1d today. I still have no symptoms, which I totally hate but I am trying my hardest to enjoy it and be thankful. You know its like the grass is always greener. I have no symptoms and so I wish desparately for them but if I was sick all day I would probably wish I wasn't. I did have terrible headaches all weekend. It started on Friday and that headache put me out for the count. I couldn't do anything buy lie in bed. I finally took Tyle.nol at 3:30am and it went away. It came back Saturday afternoon but this time as long as I laid down it would go away.

The appt went well today. It was very quick and I thought the doctor would spend more time talking to me but she didn't. She said that she couldn't see any spots that were bleeding before she did the pap but after she said I was bleeding from where she scraped the cervix and so not to freak out if I had bleeding for the next day or so.

She said everything felt like it was where it was supposed to be (size and softness-wise) for 8weeks so that is reasurring.

The best news is that as soon as I told her I had anxiety she said, lets do another u/s!!! I was so happy! So my next u/s is next Friday!! I will be 9w5days.

My official due date is 10/17!!!
