First Appointment

We met with the nurse this past week and it turned into such a fun day.  Ryan couldn't stop talking about how great it will be when we are retired (the boy does not get enough days outside of his fab).  The nurse made us feel like our pregnancy is progressing just fine, even despite the subchorionic hemorrhage.  Finally, a nurse that is reassuring!  The appointment did not consist of much--blood draw (another one..ugh), asked questions about family history, explained our various birthing options, and she even attempted to let us hear the baby's heart beat.  Sadly, our little babe was not feeling cooperative.  She also scheduled an ultrasound for us--which we have tomorrow--and I seriously cannot wait to see how things are going.  My mom is coming with me tomorrow because Ryan cannot take off so many days from work.  Also, the other good news is that even though I am eating everything in sight I have only gained three pounds.

Things seemed to be looking up.  And I have been feeling great despite wanting to go to bed every night around 8pm.  Because I was feeling so great I was probably pushing myself too hard because last night the brown discharge came back.  Actually, if we are going to get technical about this the discharge looked more orange.  There was only a few drops over a few hours so we did not rush to the ER.  I was thankful it was not red but it still scared me.  Today I have been lying around in bed all day.  Thinking about what baby will look like tomorrow....and hoping for the best!
