Updates!!!

Today I had my first appointment. I am officially due September 20th. Which puts me at 5 weeks and 1 day. The baby is about the size of a grain of rice right now. Crazy huh!!! It was a hectic and draining day for myself. My appointment was at 9:45 am. I chose to dr in Staples with Dr Uhlman. Today I had an internal ultrasound done. That is something new since I had my youngest. It was fairly uneventfull as the zoom on there doesnt quite zoom in enough to see the baby really. However the gestational sac was there and everything looked as it should for someone in the month of pregnancy that I am in. I had blood work done. I do mean blood work. They drew ... count them...12 vials. Thats right 12. It was supposed to be 10 however I have horrible veins. They roll they drop away they are like rubber. 2 veins collapsed and we had to find anouther impossible site for drawing. The reason for all the blood letting is because of my history of blood clots. DVT's and PE's arent good things and I am now giving myself a single injection of lovenox everyday until the bun comes out. I wont have my genetic results for awhile but we are on the track to success hopefully. I was very shakey and couldnt walk well when I was done but some orange juice and lunch had me feeling a bit better. Im still feeling drained but tomorrow is a new day. I go in one week from today to meet with my dietician and have yet anouther internal ulrasound done........Its going to be my 2nd home I think next to work......lol
