Pregnant!!!

So- 2 people have commented on this.  So cool!!  How do people find this anyway? 

Michael and I found out on September 1st that we are going to have a baby!!!  So exciting!  I'm 9 weeks this week.  I can't even believe it!  My first real appointment is on October 23.  

I suspected I had low progesterone (because we use NFP & I'm aware of things) so I went to the doctor & she wouldn't test me!!!  Which really made me mad because I have 5 symptoms that are all associated with having low prog.  But she said even if I did- they can't do anything about it- which is NOT TRUE.  So, I started using this natural progesterone cream & got pregnant the first month I used it!  so haha Dr. lady...  But now I ran out & had to buy a different kind from wal-mart ("menopause formula"- ha) that says do not use if pregnant but I'm afraid if I quit using it abruptly I will have a miscarriage.  I can't imagine what affect more progesterone would have on a pregnancy... I think it would be good for it...?  

Anyways- at 6 weeks I had to go to the army hospital because I was having some spotting & the clinic here on base sends everyone to the hospital because they can't handle anything!  So Michael and I spent the ENTIRE day at the hospital- all they did was take blood & when I finally got to see a doctor he did an ultrasound, so that made it all worth it!  We saw the heartbeat & got to keep a picture :).  Everything was fine.  I started feeling nauseous at 6 weeks & it got really bad this past week.  And I had to go to the hospital again because the clinic here thought I might be dehydrated & I lost 3 lbs (I'm apparently underweight already) so they took more blood & 3 hours later I got a prescription for Zophran to help with the nausea.  I feel SO much better and I can eat now & get off the couch!  But, I have been watching seasons of Friends, because I still lay on the couch a lot because I get tired really easy.  I'm on season 7 now.  

Last weekend we went to Erin & Cameron's wedding- it was really beautiful!!!  I got to be Erin's matron of honor.   it was a lot of fun.  It makes me want to have another wedding lol.

Zofran is wonderful. I just found out las week I am expecting my 4th, and I hope I do not get sick, but I am only about 4 weeks and I really am starting to feel queasy. I hope my midwife will prescribe me some zofran if the nausea starts up, because I had the whole nine months with my last one. Congrats on your new addition.
