The Latest

I am officially 8 weeks and 3 days pregnant today. I had a dr's appointment yesterday and all is well! So far so good :) We saw a strong beating heart, and even arm buds, etc. The changes in just two weeks are amazing. I am so relieved. I have been extremely nauseous and throwing up now daily. My eating habits are exactly the same as they were when I was pregnant with Maya- no chicken, just cheese, cheese and more cheese : )

This feels very surreal right now I have to say. I still don't quite believe I am pregnant. It is so unexpected and I am trying to understand it all and tell myself it is real. But I am terrified, just as I was before. I pray every day that this pregnancy be healthy with a healthy baby in the end.

That's all I can hope for.

News...

I have been away from the computer for a while and didn't have a chance to post last week.

We had our first obgyn appointment on Tuesday and at 6 weeks and 2 days we were able to see a heartbeat!!!! It was there-- and I couldn't have asked for a better appointment. I go back in 10 days and I am still extremely nervous because it is soooo early and anything can happen, as I know all too well. The past two days I have been really nauseous and dizzy so while I feel gross, I am hoping it's because pooks is growing healthy and strong....




In other news...





Maya is 11 months old! Her birthday party planning is in full swing and it's going to be big! How could it not be?!?! : )


Take a look at my little lady : )

Life...

Well we are days away from Maya turning 11 months old. She truly can turn any bad mood, into a smile. She is amazing, so full of personality and non-stop talking. She says MAMA all the time and she can stand and clap all by herself! She is mushy and delicious and she is becoming my best buddy.

On another note....
I admit I am TERRIFIED for Tuesday's ultra sound. I don't feel pregnant at all. I am tired, but was I this tired before? I don't know. I was nauseous yesterday but then not today. My boobs are not sore at all. I had some cramps the other day and my acupuncturist said that is normal. I guess it doesn't really matter, bottom line is I need to wait till Tuesday. I so want this baby -- more than anything, I want it for Maya. I want her to have a lifelong friend she can count on unconditionally. It is so important to me that she have this.

My fear is literally making me want to throw up right now, I am SO SCARED.

I am going to the appointment alone. Dave will be with Maya at home. What do I do if it's bad news?

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LET THIS BABY BE HEALTHY.
