02-4-2008 - First Trimester...Good riddance!!!

My mood while writing this blog: GOOODBYE!!!

---

Well i'm almost at the end of my First Trimester...FINALLY!! i feel like i've been here forever! this HAS to be the worst part, so far. i hate the "Sit and Wait" part. I'm so glad to be moving on.

Of course there were exciting moments like the first scan, and hearing the heart beat, and knowing my little Gummy Bear is growing and developing from a "Sea Monkey" to a little miniature Human being! But just having to sit around and wait is cruel and unusual TORTURE!

When i was 8 weeks, i started bleeding. if it had been on a pad it would've looked like i started my period! i was so freaked! I'm so surprised i didnt pass out! My husband and I rushed to the emergency room, and i was POSITIVE i was losing the baby. He had to tell the nurses and doctors why we were there, i couldnt even talk i was crying so hard. Luckily everything turned out ok, and i was told the bleeding was most likely caused by intercourse (which i read about before, i just didnt know it could cause so much blood). They did a scan the next day to make sure the baby was still there and ok. To my utter dismay the stupid Radiology tech wouldnt let me see it! she said "Ok, there's the fetus" and i said "OH! you can see it?!" and she said "Yes i can see it but thats about all i can tell you, you'll have to talk to the Doctor for more info..." and i was like "Can I see it?" and she started saying she couldnt give me any pics, but i was like "No, i dont care about that, can i just see the screen real quick?" and she wouldnt let me! that was so not nice!

Everything was fine. and i had to wait 3 more weeks for my first appt. i took a "First Time Mommy" class and thought that was going to be my appt too, but when i got there they told me my appt. wasnt until the NEXT week!! so i had longer to wait!

But i was so excited to find out i got to have an ultrasound. I was so nervous, i just prepared myself to hear the worst. and i knew it would be difficult for them to find the Heart Beat if they found it at all, and i knew that wasnt uncommon, but i knew it would stress me out anyways. So the day of my appt. we finally did the scan. they found the baby right away, and i just could not take my eyes off him... it was so amazing...then they played the heartbeat...they found it right away! as soon as i heard it, i just breathed a sigh of relief, and began crying...it was the most beautiful sound i've ever heard in my life.

i think that's the best feeling i've ever had, is to see MY child growing inside me, and for the next 7 months i get to have him all to myself.

I'm so excited about the things to look forward to in the next month let alone trimester: Starting to show, Feeling the baby really kick and not just flutters, and finding out what the sex is (even though i'm POSITIVE its a boy!) i just want to get out of the first trimester already!!! i thought that happens in week 13, but OF COURSE NOT, i have another week to WAIT!!!! sheesh! Oh well, as long as me and my baby keep progressing, growing strong and we dont lose eachother, i'm just fine...

So long FIRST TRIMESTER.....GOOD RIDDANCE!!lol
