My mood while writing this blog: Thinking Positive

So, since I wrote my other blog 2 days ago, my horrible dreams have stopped...I'm SO relieved. I'm starting to get my hopes up that this pregnancy is viable and will be successful.

I bought a baby heart doppler on E-bay and now I'm just waiting for it to get here....I don't have my first pre-natal appt until November 14th. I will be almost 3 months by then. I just can't wait that long!!!

It's so hard not to want to shop for baby stuff already, I'm trying to pace myself but it's SO hard...lol. When I was pregnant with my son 6 yrs ago, I wasn't in a position to buy everything for him and had to wait for shower gifts...but with this baby...6 yrs later, I am in a position where I could just go buy everything...and I'm finding it so hard to hold off...

I'm starting to feel uncomfortable stretching of my uterus....just brief pains that will last maybe 3 seconds and then go away....it might happen about 3 times a day....and I do remember that happening with my son as well.....so at least I know the baby is growing well.

We think it might actually be more than one baby due to my belly size already, and my amplified symptoms....with my son the doctor heard 2 heart beats, but by the time I was scheduled for an U/S....there was just the one baby...It's called disappearing twin syndrome apparently....So maybe I'm apt to have twins...and this time we will actually have two babies....that would be totally amazing!!
