Well at 8w3d nothing seems to be much different than pre-preggoness. I have had some nausea but for the most part that has gone away. I am utterly exhausted all the time - but I also think I have some sort of bug because I just don't feel well.
My first Dr. appt is Janaury 29, 2009 at 10am. After this appointment we will probably start telling people! I wanted to wait until 13 weeks, but 10w1d is pretty close. We might still wait but nothing is for sure yet!
I guess I don't really have much to update on because nothing much has changed in the past week. I am really anxious for my first Dr. appointment because I still don't "feel" pregnant! I hope they do an ultrasound! I love getting the pictures and seeing the little seamonkey! It reminds me that this is real! :)

7 weeks!
Well we had our first ultrasound today! It was pretty incredible! This whole being pregnant thing - still kind of call it the crazy! But after today it finally feels "real"!
There was a definite heart beat - (114bpm) and the babe measured in at 6w5d so not too far off from what I guessed! (I'm still going by my chart because that makes today an even 7 weeks!)
The babe kind of looks like a little sea monkey so that's what Sam & I are calling it for now. We probably will continue to call it that the whole time since we don't intend on finding out the sex we don't want to label it him/her and call it the wrong thing! That would be traumatizing :P
Not much else to report out! Everything looks great so far! So about 5 weeks until we finally start sharing the news! Don't know how the parents are going to react! But there's not much that we can do about it! :P

So this is love!
6w4d
This just doesn't seem real. Pregnant? Me? It is sort of amazing! I found out on 12/20...told Sam 12/27 (his birthday! I waited a whole week!!)
I have had three betas done. My first one hcG was at 41.7 (12/22), my second one hcG was at 94.5 (12/24! It doubled and then some!) My third one hcG was at 1,650 (12/30! MORE than doubled!)
My first ultrasound isn't scheduled until Monday January 12 at 11am. I am kind of a nervous wreck because I don't really have any symptoms! Sam bought me this book called "What To Expect When You're Expecting" and the book is great! But I don't have increasing boob size, sore boobs, frequent urination, morning sickness, or anything else that is supossed to come with growing another human in my body! It makes it hard for me to believe there is a healthy babe in my uterus. The only thing I have really had is cramping - which I am hoping is good! Hopefully a sign of baby Kenkel digging their way down into my uterus!
My estimated due date is August 28 but people in my family tend to come 3 weeks early (We are a very impatient bunch!). My due date was September 24 (my Mom's birthday!) and I came on September 7. I will have to ask Sam when his due date was - but I am guessing he was late! He is always running late for things and likes to take his sweet time :)
Sam is such a proud daddy already. He is so much more patient and helpful since I told him. He happily took over litter box duty and has been cooking more. I have been slightly moodier than usual (is that possible? :P) and he has been extremely patient with that. He just lets me have my outburst and we carry on.
I am so excited for my first ultrasound - and all the following ones! They reveal so much - how many babes, how big they are, their sex (which we are not finding out so don't ask!) But for now I am just praying for a heartbeat! Then I think I will be able to get excited about baby Kenkel. At this point I am too afraid to get too excited - because between my PCOS & hypothyroid I am a higher risk for miscarriage. So far things seem to be going beautifully though!
Well I am signing off for now. I will try to update at least once a week!
