News and Stress!

The past two weeks have been a little stressful to say the least. I found out that I am pregnant when we were not trying because my husband is currently unemployed. It was a bit of a shock to say the least especially after miscarrying earlier this year.

Because of the miscarriage earlier this year, my doctor wanted to bring me in for blood work to check my hCG and progesterone levels. I got the call this morning that it all looks good, but they want to bring me in for an ultrasound tomorrow. I know my doctor is being cautious, but this makes me nervous and excited all at the same time. I just want everything to look good tomorrow.

I have not told many people, but I did tell a good friend because I need someone to talk to when I get scared. She knows how much I would love to have a little girl and she asked if I will be disappointed if it is another boy. My answer- No way, I just want a healthy baby. I know that sounds cliche, but after two miscarriages I really just want to hold that baby in my arms.

I will be publishing these posts later because I don't want to spread the word until I have reached the end of the first trimester.

EDIT: So I couldn't quite wait until the end of the first trimester. I was so excited that the ultrasound looked good that I just had to share!
