27-5-2009 - My appt and ultrasound scheduled

My mood while writing this blog: Ok

---

We had our 2nd official OB appt yesterday. Ben insisted on coming, even though I told him he didn't have to. My OB doc is very nice and very skilled, but she is extremely quick and always in a hurry. I was so excited to hear the heartbeat for the first time and we got Brody all pumped up to hear baby and she listened for about 1 second. Just enough for us to hear a few beats. Even so, it was music to my ears!! It sounded so beautiful. I'm still so amazed that there is a tiny being in there. Especially since I have physically felt so good. Emotionally, different story. I have been very moody. I am not handling being pregnant well at all. I cannot wait to have this baby in my arms, but get me there now. Even though I have had very few physical symptoms, for some reason this time around I just cannot enjoy it. Maybe because I've dedicated so many years to pregnancy? I'm not sure. I almost feel angry. I'm grumpy to my kids, to Ben, just grumpy in general. I feel ungrateful. Again, it's nothing against this baby. I am already in love with this baby. I just wish I could enjoy this last pregnancy more than I am.

Anyhow, I can't wait to start feeling those kicks! I thought I was feeling them a few weeks back but now nothing. So, even though I've been through this six times now, it must have just been indigestion or something. The first kicks always make me smile and every one after that does as well. We scheduled our advanced level 2 ultrasound and anatomy scan for June 23rd. Three weeks and six days away (: We will also hopefully be able to find out the gender of this baby. I am still feeling boy. I hope I'm right. More importantly though, I hope they don't find any problems at that ultrasound. This has been such an easy pregnancy, I am hoping it stays easy and problem free.

Other than that, I have gained about 7 lbs now. Mind you, I lost about 20 before our wedding, so some of it is just normal gaining back of weight I had lost. I'm still not in maternity clothes and can wear most of my regular clothes. Right now, I'm at my pre pregnancy weight with Brody. So, I'm not concerned. I would've probably gained this weight back regardless of if I was pregnant or not. My BP looked great too. My next appt is after the ultrasound on June 23rd. She said she will start doing Strep B cultures early, because that can cause PROM and since I had PROM with my last pregnancy nearly 6 weeks early, they will take extra precautions. Now, her and I both know the most likely cause of PROM was that Brody had the intestinal blockage, causing polyhydramnios, which caused my water to burst. But, you never can be too safe. So there is my nearly 15 week update!

Just read your blog and you know I have really been obsessing with feeling my baby move! Sorry to hear that you are going through a rough time with this pregnancy but i'm sure when you start to feel baby you will have a new burst of excitment! You have 5 beautiful children which are all healthy and happy so give yourself some credit!
