Emotions & Pregnancy Update

Today I am pretty emotional, darn hormones. (I am SO beyond blessed to think about my little baby's heart beating and baby growing inside of me today, and thinking about my SIL that should be going into ANY day now!)

But really, it is more than that.

It is the overwhelming feeling of how blessed we are.
And how unworthy I feel.
And how amazed by God's provisions I am.

Frustrations with myself for not preparing for being a matron of honor later this month a bit better.
Frustrations with the maid of honor for having mommy and daddy help out instead of helping with her own money.
And disbelief and happiness for my best friend that after all the toads she has been through she finally found her prince.

I am so thankful for my sister Melissa for going with me and helping me with the bachelorette party plans.
Thankful for my other sisters for allowing me to vent, cry at movies, and play Disney Scene It without judging me.
Thankful for all the times they help me out around the house, when I am feeling too tired and unmotivated to tackle the mess.
I hope one day I am as good of a sister to them as they are to me. Because I am beyond blessed and thankful.
Pregnancy Updates....here are the slew of test results.
My blood work got taken on 5/29 at 10w6d

• hCg quant.....102,505.9 (can you say holy WOW! no wonder I feel sick...lol)
• My CBC was normal, but I did notice the hematocrit was a little low, but only by .3% so I am not really concerned about anemia :-)
• Fasting Glucose - 90....99 is the highest for "normal" (this is pretty normal for my fasting #, makes me a little nervous for gestational diabetes...eeeeek!)
• TSH - 1.62
• Of course I was negative for gono and chlamydia 

And can I say, the OB I go to and my family doctor are on the same system through the same health system. And they now have electronic charting...I can send questions, get an email back, see lab results from both doctors, edit medical history...all from the comfort of my living room. :-) It is pretty AMAZING lol

I just love the OB office, at my appointment the nurse's were amazing. Then when Dr. H came in (she is my absolute favorite!) she gave me a HUGE hug. I am talking like excited squeeze hug you would give a dear friend. She was immensely happy for me. We have been working together for over a year and a half together to get me pregnant, and stay pregnant. Then when it came time for my pap and breast exam she had the nurse come in. This nurse was the one that fought hard for me to be able to get the MRI, to get testing for my kidneys, and then the biggest reason why she jumped through so many hoops being my advocate came out: she herself has a unicornuate uterus. I had a feeling I didn't want to know how pregnancies went for her, so I didn't ask (though James said I should have...I was afraid to find out!). 

Though I haven't been entirely happy with only having one ultrasound thus far, I am beyond excited that she is going to take the chance of me having issues with preterm labor serious. I get to see my baby every other week!! How amazing is that? OF course! I am praying for an amazing lengthened cervix so it isn't even a fear to worry about preterm deliver due to this. 

Friends, I am 11 weeks! ELEVEN!! How did that happen? I think I have been afraid to document more. I am getting anxious for sharing with everyone. It is silly, like I am going to jinx it....gah!

Ok it is now almost 2am and my bed is calling, I have to hang up some laundry...then it is head, meet pillow!
