Here we go again

Here are a few things I thought you might be wondering.

What's the story?

After last time, I had to go back to my doctor's office multiple times to have my blood tested because my hormone levels were still very high. Right before we went to the beach, they had told me that they expected my body to be back to normal soon. But nothing ever happened and I started to wonder a little bit.

A few weeks ago, I started to feel very sick and exhausted.

At first I thought that maybe I had some kind of virus or something, but after a few days I decided to take a test.

It was positive!

I decided to not get myself to excited. I called the doctor and made an appointment.

As I was laying on the table waiting to get my ultra sound the tech told me that we would check to see how everything looked, but I needed to prepare myself that we might not be able to see anything. She also asked if I had any idea how far a long I was. I told her I had no clue. Again she told me that there may be nothing there for us to see.

All of a sudden she got a huge smile on her face and said, "Well, I have very good news! There is a baby there!" She did some measuring and told me that I was right at 7 weeks. And that it looked like my due date would be around May 14th.


I was shocked!

We heard the heart beat and it was very strong.

I met with my doctor who assured me that everything looked great.
We looked at the calendar and realized that I had only gone 2 weeks without being pregnant!

So, in a way, I will be pregnant for a year! I got pregnant in May and will have a baby in May.

How do I feel?

Physically ~ I have been sick. (Which everyone tells me is a good sign.)
Last Friday I had to go back in for more blood work and my doctor gave me a prescription for some medicine. It has helped me to feel much better!
I am also feeling very worn out, and a little emotional.
I have spent as much time as possible in my bed.

Honestly, I am also trying not to stress about my weight.
Let me put it this way - I have been pregnant for 5 months, but only am 8 weeks along.
I feel like I am huge, but don't have a baby belly yet.
My clothes aren't really fitting me, but I don't know if I'm ready to start to wear maternity clothes already.
I think I am just going to wear sweats everywhere.

Emotionally ~ I am very excited.
However, I am also being very careful, and I am praying A LOT!
Last time hit me hard. It was very unexpected.
This time - I am a little nervous. Well, maybe a lot nervous.

I almost didn't post it on my blog or really tell anyone.

However when I went to the doctor again on Friday she (again) assured me that everything looked great. I decided that instead of worrying I am going to enjoy it.
