My mood while writing this blog: wonderful

So I'm not feeling nauseous anymore! And since I started taking my second blood pressure pill earlier at night, I haven't been spotting at all! I had suspected my blood pressure was higher than I wanted it to be later in the day, and every time I've ever had any bleeding, it's been at night. I talked to my doctor about it, and she said to take my second pill earlier since my blood pressure goes down anyway when I sleep. I also suspected that some of my bleeding/spotting may have been caused by my blood pressure..maybe a blood vessel that was popping or bleeding just inside my cervix or something. So, I've been clear since! I am still checking every time I wipe, and I'm sure it will come back...it always does heh.

On another note, I feel fantastic! Are there pregnancy high horomones that kick in at the second trimester? Heh...maybe it's a combination of not spotting anymore and not being nauseous either that's making me feel so great. I was at dinner with my husband and her sister who lives with us temporarily, and I could not stop talking the entire time! That is sooo not like me.

My NT scan is Thursday and I'm pretty excited about that, since they have better ultrsound machines than my OB. After that though, I dont have another scan at my next actual Dr appt, but I will the one after that. In the back of my mind I am always concerned that the same issue that happened during my first pregnancy will happen again, and I want a scan each visit to make sure it isnt happening. If the placenta does shut down again, I know there's nothing they could do anyway though, but peace of mind is always wanted.

I am feeling very good about this pregnancy though, we are covering 2 possible causes of my first pregnancy demise -- my blood pressure and the MTHFR issue. And I have that actual feeling that things will work out in the end. It makes me excited and a little scared :)
