Friday - Recharge & Re-party
Went out late on Thursday night, slept in Friday am...went back out Friday night...not much to report!
Oh ya...another crazy dream...I was one of many people chosen to compete for a chance to organize some big house...any way in part of the competition I was caring for 2 newborns, a boy and a girl. Well, I had one strapped to my back and I was carrying the one in my arms and some of the neighbors stopped by to see how things were going and they mentioned that they had never seen so much love being showered on the 2 babies...I was so happy, I totally loved those babies! :)

Thurs - Bliss? & A Bad Dream
Well, here it is Thursday already....yea!
I have night class several days a week and as I was walking to my car a loud thought jumped into my head..."IGNORANCE IS BLISS" it seemed to scream....I laughed to myself thinking of a friend who just gave birth to a baby yesterday. A baby she didn't know she was carrying for the first 4 months of the baby's life inside her womb. I had a hard time imagining not knowing for so long...I had an even harder time thinking about going in for an US and seeing a well developed fetus on the US screen. That thought just blew me away.
My DH must have been on the same wave length last night 'cuz I asked him what he thought about being PG and he wished we could just wake up and be 2 or 3 months farther along...I laughed, feeling the same way. Actually, I was hoping to wake up 8 months along....
Although thinking about that now, would I miss all the little things happening along that 10 month path? Hmmmm....I'll think about that one for awhile.
Anyway, I mentioned in my last post that ever since I conceived, even before I had a positive PG test, I've been having very vivid and detailed dreams. Last night was no exception, although it was strange...in essence, I MC'd in the dream, but there was so much more to it...I wasn't scared or frightened...it just sort of happened. None the less, I didn't like the dream....what PG woman would...even a non-PG woman! I'm trying not to read into this one...I'm just taking one day at a time.

Wed - TP Check & An US
Today was an all day TP check day between presentations. Ever so thankfully, all TP checks came back fair to mostly clear! Yea!
I did get my numbers from my HcG & Progest.
Here's how they stack up...
DPO 15 HcG - 213 Progest - 25.2
DPO 17 HcG - 562
DPO 22 HcG - 1936 Progest - 15
DPO 24 HcG - 3609 Progest - 35
I also had an US that seemed anticlimactic...Although what was seen was a BIG difference from 4 weeks (we saw a thick lining) 5 weeks still seemed less than wat I was hoping for....I really wanted to see some form of life...I guess I did, but it was just a sac...a nice round sac...the doctor after looking at my numbers explained that that was all he expected to see at this point...no fetal pole, and definitely not a heart beat.
I guess that's what happens in super early ultra sounds...you just get to see all the little puzzle pieces coming together one at a time and so slowly. Now I have to wait for my next US to see what will happen next. The Dr. said he'd see me in two weeks, which seems like forever, but since I have a day off on a different day of the week, they scheduled me for the Monday, instead of the Wednesday....So, it's really only a week and a half.
The Monday appt will put me at 7 weeks. Keeping an optimistic spirit, I am excited to have an US at 7 weeks, as it will be putting me past my first milestone...the milestone of making to 7 weeks...In my past pg's all of my babies were lost just after 6 weeks. This one is making it though...this one is making it all the way to 40, or close to 40 and I will hold my beautiful & healthy baby in my arms on my next birthday. YEA!
Every PG is different and this one is no exception...what's different about this one:
The Meds: Foltx, Lovenox, Prometrium, Baby Aspirin
The Dr's: Seeing an OB/GYN, Midwife, & Perinatologist
Appts: Lots of visit to Dracula & many visits and US's
Others: Vivid dreams, actually had spotting this time, feelings of hope...
In the end, I can only pray that the out come will be a happy, healthy, beautiful baby...I know everything that I'm going through right now emotionally & physically is worth it.
Third times a Charm!

Tuesday - Calls from the Dr & more spotting...
Well...I'm not sure what to say...I'm staying relaxed and saying the serenity prayer....Geez!
Spotting is watery & now a light tan. It's showing up at most visits to the restroom. Resrroom visits are still frequent...I think I have "wee'd" 4x in the last 2 hours! LOL!!!
I did get my numbers from my HcG & Progest. Here's how they stack up...
DPO 15 HcG - 213 Progest - 25.2
DPO 17 HcG - 562
DPO 22 HcG - 1936 Progest - 15
Hmmm, well, I'll be going back on Prgesterone supplements, thank goodness I have some from the last pg....and my HcG is good, but not spectacular...I'm not reading into this one!
The Dr. also wants me to see "Dracula" again tomorrow to keep checking things...*sigh*
My shipment of shots should be here today, as I took the last one I had yesterday.
I also see the Peri tomorrow...the timing couldn't be better! They will do a US to see what they can see....OH, happy thoughts, happy thoughts!
Anyway...keep your fingers crossed that all is well in all departments! Thanks!
As far as other happenings today? I give a 3 hours presentation in 90 mins....blah blah blah!

Monday - Hmmm
Today a day of running! But not literally as running is not a favorite past time of mine. LOL! I took the dogs to the park and it started to sprinkle. I was hoping for rain as I could 'see' it all around us, but it only spat on us a bit.
Upon returning to the house I noticed a tad bit of pink on the TP after a visit to the bathroom. There was also a bit of red the size of a sesame seed in some EWCM...super...ugg! *sigh* I'm trying to stay postitve.
I went to the gym to take a kickboxing class and it was so humid in the gym! Ugg! Normally the humidity here is about 5% and the gage at the house read 50%...needless to say everything was sticky and yucky! LOL! If the class was measured in perspiration, it was a good one, otherwise, I missed the normal instructor who was gone on vacation.
I traveled over to the OB's office to have more blood drawn....another needle...yea...gota love dracula...Waiting to have my blood drawn I was feeling wierd, like my cervix was falling out...it's very low right now, and that bothers me.
Met a girl from the Baby Center Board. Had a delightful lunch and time with her & her DH...we chatted and toured and chatted some more before I had to run home to do my shot! Yea! We are planning on meeting up again later in the week as well.
Went home to do my shot...yea, only 246 left to do!
Leftovers for dinner...yummy & a short bike ride = bed time!

Saturday - Can you say tired?
Well, here it is almost 1 pm. I didn't get out of bed today until about 10:30 am, and I could already go back to bed! TIRED! I did however make fresh blueberry & strawberry pancakes! Yum!!!
Looking forward to my next shot today! Yea! Only a small little round, reddish, purplish dot on the injection site....I'll have a whole collection of them before too long...I might have to get a tankini to cover up my belly with all my spots before too long. Yea, Shopping! Now there is something to look forward too!

Friday - Amazed By Psychological Torture
I never thought that holding a syringe in my hand aimed at my abdomen would make me feel so uneasy. Looking down at the roll of skin between my fingers made my hands sweat. I sat in the chair posed to inject myself with the drug, but my brain kept telling me it was wrong to do that to myself, that I would be hurting myself. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with needles and I knew that it wouldn't 'really' hurt, but my mind was screaming so loudly that it was hard to 'do' it. After abut 15 mins of sitting in the darkened Dr's office I plunged the needle into my prepped skin, depressed the plunger, and removed the needle. It didn't hurt, but there was a burning feeling as the Lovenox was going into my system. I guess I just knew I had to do it if I wanted to become a mother. It's amazing what we will do for our children, born or unborn. One done, appox. 250 more injections to go.
Highlight - I bought a container of Bryer's "Fried Ice Cream" flavored Ice Cream! TASTY! Thought I needed it for being so brave. :)
