My mood while writing this blog: Happy

I went to the OB yesterday. They confirmed that I am pregnant. Yeah! My OB and I go to the same church so we see each other often. The OB that performed my D&C gave me a big hug. The whole office is on my side, they are so supportive!

Anyway... they took my blood to test my hcg levels. If they are high enough to see something they will do an ultrasound on Monday. If they aren't high enough to see something he wants to wait until next Friday (he doesn't want me to freak out if I had an ultrasound and there wasn't much to see). He said if I haven't heard from his office by 11am today to call and find out what my numbers are or I could call him at home.

He gave me a prescription prenatal with DHA in it. He also wants me to take baby aspirin, progesterone, and folic acid everyday. He said I'd probably be fine without the baby aspirin and progesterone, but he wants me to take it just in case. I said as long as it doesn't hurt the baby I'll do whatever he tells me to do.

I'm not doing cartwheels about the pregnancy, yet. I'm not worrying all the time... I'm just cautious. I do feel very happy everytime I have a wave of nausea (which is all day long) or can barley keep my eyes open. I'm just taking it one day at a time and thinking super positive! Baby dust!!! =)
