Today James and I went to the doctor. It was a long yet quick visit. We waited for around 45min to 1 hour and saw the doctor for maybe 10 mins. There wasn't much to the visit. I am up 2 pounds - the doc seemed happy with that. The nausea is still there but I do have much more energy throughout the day. I do have my "must lie down" moments, but they seem to be much fewer than before. He did give me a glimpse of hope - around 15 weeks this usually totally goes away. PHEW! He then quickly followed up that there are a few women that it lasts the WHOLE pregnancy. He says he sees two of those type of women a year - I forgot to ask if he'd already seen those women! ha!
We did get to hear the heart beat for the first time - it seemed like a quick expirence. I did not get a rate but it seemed slower than I thought it would be......maybe a boy???? I have been listening at work, but nothing. He said I probably will not hear anything by stethescope until 20 weeks or so. I go back in 1 month - around November 11. I do not have my work schedule, so I cannot confirm that appointment just yet. I forgot to ask about the next ultrasound - I think is around 20 weeks. We were in and out of the room so quickly, there wasn't much time for questions. Although I did manage to get another prescription of the nausea medication! Yay!
The doctor did say that the "silver lining" in all this misery is that my chances of miscarrage are very low since I am so sick. I guess that means I must be producing enough hormones, etc. to keep this thing going. It's weird being pregnant and not knowing if things are okay. I just want to ultrasound myself or get a fetal doppler and take a peep in to make sure things are okay - it's the medical person inside me. That is me just wanting to be in control. :)
Other news. Murphey (aka Distructor), our "bouncing baby boy" turned 1 October 11, 2009. He's no longer mama's "baby" but he's still a super cling-on. He loves to "lay" in my lap on top of the baby. Maybe their bonding? Secretly I think he hopes the "gossip" of a new little one will go away so he can remain my little one - maybe he's trying to smuther it out of me? ha! It's amazing how he can be all over my husband but as soon as I enter to room he drops James and bee-lines it for me. He's my snuggle bug at night. No longer my baby, but a grown "boy."
