Week 8

Well I finally put my pride aside and called my midwife hysterically crying.  So they told me to come in and gave me a pelvic exam (lots of blood on my cervix but it remains closed) and an ultrasound (healthy little babe with a heart rate of 156 and baby doubled in size from last week!).  The weird part of this is that they also found a "fluid mass" in my uterus that they are assuming is blood.  They have no idea what this is but it's the same exact size as the baby.  They are assuming/hoping it will get absorbed or come out of me.  So more bleeding perhaps but at least I know the baby is doing well.

In other news I am having similar pregnancy symptoms as last time around--tiredness (love my mid-day naps) and extreme animal-like hunger!  Need food all of the time...like now.  But, unlike last time, I don't have very much time to focus on my symptoms because I'm busy giving daughter #1 a bath, or fixing dinner, or doing one of the other million things I always have to do.  Also, I have already grown out of my pants and I'm wearing maternity gear--last time around this didn't happen until like 15 weeks...I definitely look 15 weeks pregnant right now.  We have another appointment with our midwives next week.  Hoping for more good news!
