So I knew having kids would be stressful.....

But did I ever dream the stress would start at 5 weeks pregnant?? noooo......well, since last Friday it has been stressful. I starting having a little issue and went in to the doctor and they redrew my blood to see if my hcg levels were still going up and put me on bed rest for the weekend. WOW....that was some serious torture. I had to lay on the couch or in the bed all weekend wondering what in the heck is going on?? They said this issue was perfectly normal and lots of women experience this in the first trimester, and not to worry. Well that's impossible, not to worry. Joel had to work and the thought of being there alone was making me sick....Thank the Lord my awesome mother came to keep me company, and not to mention, she cooked, cleaned, and did laundry. The weekend was very stressful, I had a scary moment, but was comforted by my mom. It really meant the world to me that she was there, when i don't feel good or something is not right, there's nothing like having my mom there. So Valentines Day, Waitress, PS I Love You, the Hangover and many episodes of Real Housewife's later, I survived the weekend. Monday morning I called to get my lab results, my hcg level went from 1910 to over 7000..so they felt everything was great, but for a little more peace of mind I begged to have my ultrasound then instead of waiting until Wednesday, they squeezed me in and did the ultrasound. I love the people at my OB's office, from the  receptionist to the nurses, everyone, they are so nice. Joel and I went in for the ultrasound and saw the baby and saw the heartbeat, 95, and I measured at 5 weeks and 5 days. So that was a big relief to me!!! Even they say the issue is normal, still stressful! I am definitely feeling pregnant, morning sickness has greeted me this week. I am having to eat right when i get up, which i am no used to, but it seems to keep the ralphing at a minimum. I have another ultrasound scheduled for August 30 and see Dr. Melton on the 31st. So things are just moving along. Its really hard not to buy things for this baby, I want to buy it something....but I am just holding off. Michelle got it the cutest little OU onsie that is unisex and sooo cute! We continue to be so excited! I'm ready for the nervous and stressfulness to go away so I can enjoy this pregnancy! I still have a long way to go, so I'm sure ill have plenty of time to do so!
