Sorry it has been a while since I have been on here but I haven't had a whole lot of new experiences to share. I had an appointment with my OB on Monday which just consisted of general questions and going over blood work results.During the appointment we discussed moving up my due date. My date has been moved to November 10th instead.. This will make me officially 13 weeks this Sunday!!! So very exciting :) She did discuss with me a blood test that was done on me by the other doctor that I didn't like. I received a call last week saying that I had tested positive for Methylenetetrahyerofolate (or MTHFR deficiency). After meeting with my doctor she said that she does not normally test for this and that it is 'old school'. She ordered other tests to support it after these tests results which all came out perfectly fine. End result though, I have to keep taking an 81mg aspirin, and 800mcg extra of folic acid until 6 weeks after I give birth. No biggie :)
In my town I work for the local community college. I remembered someone stating that we have a sonography program and the lights went on in my head yesterday! I was able to get a hold of the coordinator of that program and they were able to fit me in on their last day of clinic today so that I could help a student out and get to see my 'little one' at the same time. IT WAS AMAZING!! "Little One" is getting so big!! Moving all around and beating the heck out of my uterus. LOL Their equipment is a little old school so I am not quite sure about the accuracy of the heartbeat but I feel very fortunate. I am so incredibly stoked for 18 weeks when hopefully I will be able to find out the sex of my child :)
As for me, I am starting to feel a bit more energy which is great! I was having such a hard time with motivation of any kind. Sleep was all I could think of. ZZZZZ
Things are becoming more of a solid reality for me. I find myself getting more excited everyday. One of my best friends has already started planning my baby shower and getting dates arranged. I feel so lucky to have so many supportive family members and friends!! As I am doing this journey alone it can feel pretty scary but I know in my heart that this is meant to be. That I was meant to be a Mama and that I will be the greatest one that I can possibly be :)
I am actually starting to show but kind of leery to put up pictures since I am such a big girl anyways. Maybe as things progress a bit further I will start to take pictures of my belly :)
