There's an advantage to being sick

I don't go to the doctor unless I am REALLY sick. And this week, I have been REALLY sick. So I made an appointment with my regular doctor on Tuesday, 2/24. He diagnosed me with strep throat and prescribed some Amoxicilin. But I also mentioned the pain I've been having on my lower left side and he thought I might have an ectopic pregnancy where the baby implanted either in my ovary or in my tube. So they took my blood to see what my hcg was and told me they would call me with the results. I got a call about an hour later from a nurse who says, "We got the results of your bloodwork and Dr. N is ordering a STAT ultrasound for 1:00 today." So, 45 minutes later I go to ultrasound and, long story short, I saw a precious little baby with the most delicate little heart beating away at 130 beats per minute. The ultrasound dated the pregnancy at 6w4d which would give me an estimated due date of October 16, 2010. I'll have to wait until I see my midwife on Tuesday though to make it official. But it sounds like a good day to me! I'm still sick, but I've been on amoxicilian for a couple of days now and I'm starting to feel better.

An apple a day...

I have been having major fruit cravings with this pregnancy so far, but with the amount of fruit my 2 toddlers eat, not much has been left for me. My mouth is watering right now just thinking about pineapple, peaches, pears, mmmm, anything! I'm glad that I have some signs of pregnancy because I am worried sick until I hear or see a heartbeat to reassure me that everything is okay. My first appointment is in 6 days and I am definitely counting down until it gets here. Hopefully my MW (midwife) will be able to give me some reassurance.

And, as luck would have it, I am sick! Really sick! My throat hurts like crazy, my body aches, and I'm completely exhausted. Not to mention the cramps that I'm having (yep, another thing that worries me). So, all in all, I feel pretty miserable. Blah!

Aww, my first post!
