9 months is a long time!!! I am 1/3 of the way done and it just seems as if Aug is so far away. I can't complain to much, I haven't been sick at all. I just want to drink a huge pot of coffee. I tried switching to decaf. That doesn't work, its just not the same. Also tried a NA beer. What a waste of 2.50$. I would rather drink water and enjoy the real thing when I can.
The shots are getting old. I have a few bruises on the stomach.
I have one pair of jeans that still fit, and only my sports bras still fit. It is like I got a boob job, and I don't like them. How do active women deal with these big things? At least my scrubs are large and baggy to start with. They will fit for awhile. Can't wait till I have my body back. It's going to take some work!!
Hope the baby doesn't come out stressed, this last Sunday watching the Packer game I was on the edge of my couch almost the entire game. Feb 4th is going to be the same way, but I have to work till 6. I will get to see most of it. It is a good sign I guess, last time I had to work a Packer Superbowl, they won!! I was 17 at the time. Then the following year I took of of work so I could watch the game, they lost to the Broncos. So I will just work this year, hope it has the same effect.
Only 6 months to go!!!!

Week 10
One quarter of the way done!
Well I skipped blogging about week 9. We had our first appointment, it went well till we tried to listen for a heart beat, it was a bit too early and we couldn't find it. It was hard not to think back to the first time we went through this process, we tried 3 times to hear fetal tones but it should have been a sign that things weren't going to work out. We left the office still happy that so far things are OK yet. Later in the day I get a call from the Dr saying, that since I do have Factor V clotting disorder (makes me clot too fast/easy) and that may have played a role in the first miscarriage that I should start on blood thinners. Ok no problem I can take another pill. WRONG!! The blood thinner I have to take is a daily shot in the stomach much like a diabetic. I draw patent's blood as part of my job, but I can't poke myself. I am making Sean do this, he isn't liking it but will do it for me. So for another 30 weeks or 210 shots. But if it prevents what happened the first time, I can take it. It is easy now since I have a bit of pudge there but as I get bigger and more stretched out how am I suppose to pinch something to poke?
Oh and one of the questions the doctor asks me in front of Sean, how many sexual partners have I had? What really you are going to ask me this now? I just haven't told him the exact number before, I just told him I could count on one hand, but having to say it in a dead quiet office was a bit awkward. He just laughs and says are you suppose to multiply the girls number by 3 and divide the guys by 3?
Early this week I called the Dr's office to see if they had time to listen for fetal tones again, and thankfully we heard them. So far so good! I was freaking out a bit, nice I work at a small hospital and know the Dr's and they all know me.
Symptoms? I am tired, not as hungry as I was before, I just need to eat often. Every 3-4 hours or I will start to feel sick. The tired part is probably due to lack of caffeine, out of shape and being pregnant. I am with out my 3 favorite drugs right now, #1 Caffeine, #2 the high from a hard work out, and #3 a cold beer. When I can again, I am going to go out and get one of those crazy alcoholic energy drinks, chug it and go and sprint 2 miles, then probably puke.
Tomorrow is the first snowshoe race of the season, I will be walking. My mom and mother in law walk so I will stay with them. It is hard to watch people go by me that I know I can beat. I will be out there just to enjoy the day, even though the temp with wind chills are suppose to be -10 to -15. No problem just walk faster!!
