Friday, spotting! two streaks of red blood.
I freaked out and called the doctor's office.
My doc is on holiday!! LUCKLY there is a stand in. the receptionist set me up for an appointment and i was sooo relieved.
The soonest we can get in is 1pm.
Then Brett calls to tell me they had a cancellation and we can go in at 11:30 am.
Well I dont want to drag this out.
Doc did a detailed scan and found our baby measuring 8wks and 5 days, exactly on time. so baby is fine.
PROBLEM: placenta has pulled away from the uterian wall. not much but enough to cause so blood.
im not happy, im so scared. this could affect the baby. I'm scared! Doc says it will heal but there is a chance it could get worse... I'm so scared!!

22 October THE BIG DAY!!!
22 October 2008
THE VIABILITY SCAN DAY
So today was a nerve wrecking day but I decided to stay at home because I wasn’t sure how I would react to the out come (if it were bad)
Symptoms: sore bbs (but these are starting to subside) – good or bad thing? I guess we will see today, nausea in the afternoons, heart burn, swollen bbs.
So my appointment is at 11:45 am.
I stay at home and play Sims and get my mind off things.
Its time to go.
When we get to the doctors office we are the only ones there and are swiftly accepted into the doctors office. Dr Berios is an amazing doctor. He is really great, firm but loving too.
He asks if we have questions and I say to him that I don’t want to ask any until we know there is something viable there. He agrees and sends me into his scanning room.
I’m shaking like a leaf! I am now so nervous. I pray:
“Please Lord let us see a heart beat”
I lie on the bed and the doctor comes in, he checks my blood pressure “perfect, he says”
Then we start the vaginal u/s.
I close my eyes and pray again.
Should I open them?
When I do we can see the uterus… and there’s the gestational sac… and there’s a blob – the baby. I don’t see a heart beat… why cant I see it.
“just wait” says the doc “I’m trying to get a good position here”
“THERE IT IS” blurts Brett
Oh my, yes there it is… our baby’s little beating heart.
I burst into tears, tear of happiness, and tears of relief… I’m over joyed. Brett is confused with my crying, “are you ok?” he says
“Yes, yes” I say “its beautiful, just look at that”
The doc lets us listen to it,
“162 beats per minute, that’s healthy and strong” the doctor says
“Its measuring 7weeks 2 day is that correct” the doctor says
“YES” I shout “exactly on time!!!” (I was 7wks 3 days as per my ovulation date.
I am so happy and excited and just… well still crying!!!
WHAT A WONDERFUL WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE. A GIFT FROM GOD!!!
We finish up and get a pick of our little JuneBug.

11 October - 17 October (Sat - Fri) just an uneventfull week
11 October – 17 October
An uneventful week.
Symptoms: this week I started peeing in the night. Sore bbs (so sore they are swollen now!!) I’m filling out my bigger bra’s, terrible terrible skin break out! Headaches, heartburn. Thursday and friday i had some cramping but thursday made me worry, friday not bad... no bleeding so I'm happy.
So the weekend was calm and not much happened, the week was much the same. I have been trying to keep the whole pregnancy off my mind; I find it is working to. I don’t obsess and it stops me from worrying what is going on in there. I still pray all the time and I am feeling very good bout this bean…
I know in my heart that God has given me my gift! The gift I have been waiting for!

10 October MY FIRST OBGYN APP!!
10 October (Friday)
So today I went for my first scan.
Systems: sore bbs, headache, (I hand the runs too but I think it was from stress)
WOW! DID I STRESS TODAY!!
Anyway, the doc did a v.u/s he was very happy with what he found, a healthy gestational sac and yolk sac. I am measuring between 5 and 6 wks, which puts me right were i thought i was 5wks and 5 days today. But the baby's growth will determine where I am. He was so happy he said he didn’t want to send me for bloods. I have a nice big corp. luteum (??spelling??) which means I probably producing a nice healthy amount of progesterone. Baby is high in the uterus. All in all the doc was happy.
Here is a picture of my June Bug…
I am still very cautious… my wonderful husband just couldn’t put down the scan picture. He was grinning from ear to ear. He’s very happy and optimistic. I’m optimistic just very cautious. I don’t want to think to much into things so I have take the approach of just acting and being normal… I don’t constantly think of being pregnant. And it’s helping its making time fly.
Next milestone… 7wks 2day … I can make this I know I can!

6 October - mondays are blue
6 October (Monday)
symptoms: super tired! Nausea that lasted most of the day, headache.
So I think my sprightly mornings are over, I woke up feeling like I had run a marathon! Bring on the pregnancy symptoms I say.
Still stressing about Friday every now and then… I have been keeping myself busy but every now and then I think about what might be happening down there. I still pray all the time!!!! I really really hope God is listening.
God, are you listening? Give me a sign?

5 October - Sunday drive
5 October (Sunday)
Symptoms: sore nipples… could this be real pregnancy symptoms starting?? Also I have broken out in zits around my neck and shoulders… I still have them on my chin too I look like a hormonal teenager!
So lately I have been having a serious problem peeing! Its distressing really, it only happens when I wake up, either in the morning or from a nap. Today I had a nap after we had gone to the mall – I was exhausted!!!
I was asleep and then I felt this pain that woke me up, it was rather uncomfortable I battled to wake but when I did I got this really urgent need to pee but when I went to pee nothing came out, I really need to pee. Eventually after jiggling around and leaning forward it finally came out. The pain went away. That pain must have been me being so desperate to pee.
Anyway, I will be discussing this with my doctor on Friday.
Grow baby grow!

30 September - Last day of the month
30 September
Symptoms: none… not even the cramping…
So I was thinking about it. I think good taught me some sort of patience. I think that was the lesson he wanted to teach me with ttc. Patience.
I realize this because I waited ages to test and then also with ultrasound on the 10 October, I would have actually booked it sooner like this week but I didn’t… I’m trying to feel confident that God is taking care of this one.
I put all my trust in God, but I still worry. I’m only human.
