5 weeks down...35 weeks to go! So the reality of being pregnant again has sunk in and I am SO excited! The first few days I was really really nervous and not really letting myself get too excited or plan too much. But I realized that you know what, there is no point to that. Because I was still getting so unbelievably attached to this baby anyway. And this baby deserves that...he or she deserves my total excitement and love. And being scared and putting up walls to try to avoid the pain we had when we lost our first pregnancy is not helping anything. So I changed my attitude and decided that I am going to be positive about this pregnancy. We WILL have a baby in April (well, maybe March if the little bugger decides to come early!). We are absolutely thrilled...and yes, we are still both nervous...I still have my moments of fear and concern (which I'm sure I will have for this little one for the rest of my life! welcome to life as a mom, right?) but overall I am very optimistic about this pregnancy.
I did go in to the doctor's office for bloodwork and an appt with the nurse last Friday. Which went great. The nurse was so sweet and understanding of my concern and even let me schedule an ultrasound for my first appointment!!! Usually you don't get an U/S on your first appt at my doctor's office...but since she knew I was so worried, I get one early. YAY! So in 2 weeks from today we will get to see our little one...I'll be exactly 7 weeks which should be far enough to see a heartbeat. I am so excited and the next 2 weeks cannot go fast enough!!! I think that seeing a heartbeat will do wonders for my stress level, I really think we'll feel a lot more confident once we see it.
In the meantime, stay safe in there and keep growing little one!!! :)
