24-10-2008 - 1st trimester with logan

My mood while writing this blog: happy

3/13/08 Been married to my wonderful husband for 3 1/2 years, but we've been living together for 10 years. We were putting off kids until careers were established and we owned a home. Finally accomplished all of that May '07, so I ditched the pill June 1st. We did get pregnant right away in July but miscarried during the 6th week. That made us REALLY want a baby then. It finally happened again in January. I have know since 4 weeks from HPT, but have been to afraid to truly believe it! Today is 9 weeks exactly and I had my first doctor's visit, so it is starting to feel real. Doc was able to find a heart beat, but only for a second, and I MISSED IT! lol. The doctor and my husband heard it, so that's good enough for me for now! I go back in a week to try to hear it myself. r

3/25/08 Heard the heartbeat yesterday!! I didn't cry because I was so amazed and concentrating so hard on listening! My hubby is sweet and gets choked up!

4/14/08 Doctor's appointment today...got to hear the heartbeat again!!! The rate was 161. And the baby seems to have moved up. 3 weeks ago, doc found the heartbeat down low, pelvic region, but today she found it right away in my lower abdomen

4/23/08 Starting getting bad vaginal pressure on 4/21. And felt as if something was falling out. It was almost the exact same feeling I had two days before my miscarriage, so I started to get paranoid and called the doctor's this morning. My doc was out of the office, only on call. The MA's there were worried about my symptoms so they had me go to maternity at the hospital. Got a pelvic, some labs, and heard the heartbeat again (mid 150s). Everything looked fine, and now it's not bothering me as much. PHEW!! The staff's attitude wasn't the greatest (2 out of the 4 I was in contact with were nice, the other two were pretty snotty), but the maternity ward was gorgeous; I'd never been there before. It didn't look like part of a hospital. Looked like I was entering a fancy hotel!
