Yesterday we had our first doctors appointment. Seth was able to come to the appointment since there's no work for him right now(which is a little scary, but it was nice he was able to come along!) It was a pretty boring appointment. Just a lot of answering questions and a lot of test taking. No ultrasound. Which I figured. And it was too early to hear a heartbeat. They said they usually don't start that until your about 10 weeks along. So our next appointment we'll be able to hear little peanut's heartbeat! I did end up asking about my weight. She didn't seem too concerned about it. She told me(which she said she doesn't really tell anybody this) to eat high calorie foods. `So I will be taking the doctors advice! ;o)
But all and all, everything seems to be going great so far! :o) Our next appointment is March 1st!
Not a very exciting update.

8 weeks(tomorrow)
Tomorrow I will hit the 8 week mark. Things have been interesting. I have been VERY exhausted! Morning sickness has been somewhat manageable. Friday night and Saturday have been the worst days so far. But today is going good and yesterday went well also. I feel as though this pregnancy is going by sooooo slow. I feel like I should be in the 2nd trimester already. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow!!! Seth's mom will be coming along with us to this appointment. I'm hoping to get an ultrasound, but I'm not counting on it. After our scare a couple weeks ago, it would be great to have that reassurance again that everything is okay. I'm losing a quite a big of weight, which I'm a little concerned about. I know it's normal to lose some weight during the 1st trimester. But I've lost about 10+lbs. I'm going to mention it to my OB tomorrow. I'm sure it's alright but I'd feel better to hear that from the doctor.
Now about Samantha. Man, she already shows the signs of a future class clown. She's absolutely goofy. She can make me laugh all day long. It seems that she learns new words every single day. Her most popular words are, Dada, Mum, Puppy(every animal is a puppy), Bye, Hi,eye, here, Ma(grandma), mmmmm and NO/No-No. She's still a talk-a-holic! You can sit down with her and have one long conversation. She knows exactly what she's saying, some things we don't quite know what it's. Which I know frustrates her(and us).
She's a very "monkey see, monkey do" kind of child. She will imitate anything you say/do. So we really need to watch what we say and do around her. She has picked up a few nasty habits that she certainly did not get from me *cough* Daddy *cough*.
She's going through a big Daddy faze right now. She's so in love with her Daddy! It's the most beautiful thing in the world! When Daddy comes walking in that door in the evening it's all about him. Mommy doesn't exist when Daddy is home. Whenever my phone rings she shoots up and says "Dada Dada Dada". She always has to talk to him. I love how close they have gotten!!!!
She's growing up so fast! I can't wait to see her as a big sister. I know she will be such a big helper for Mommy and Daddy. She's going to love her little brother or sister.
I'm starting to get a little panicky. This house is so small. And we have so much CRAP! I really don't want to rent a storage unit but I'm thinking we're going to have to whether we want to or not. I'm also thinking we'll have to get rid of our dog, Molly. We love her so much. But she doesn't do too well with Samantha and she's not getting as much lovin as she used to. She needs the attention she deserves! I can only imagine what it will be like for her when another baby comes along. Seth is not to thrilled about the idea but he agreed to it. I just wish we could buy a new, bigger home and not have to worry about any of that stuff!
Anyway...
I will update after my appointment tomorrow! :o)

A very scary/long day!
Today has been the scariest day of my life!
The hectic day all started at 7am-ish. I woke up and had to go to the bathroom(as usual). As I was finishing up, I notice some brown blood on the toilet paper! Then I looked at my underwear. There was quite a few spots of blood on them. So now I'm freaking out. I wake Seth up to tell him. He shoots up and he starts freaking out as well. He told me to get the phone and he would call Mercy On-Call. The woman said that it's nothing to worry about. That it's normal. She connected me to the OB on call at the clinic I go to. Which she also said the same thing. So I calmed down a little bit. But then I started to cramp. Pretty badly too. So I waited until the OB office was open, which was at 8:15. I asked if I could talk to a nurse. The nurse called me back and I told her that I have been spotting brown blood and now I am starting to cramp. Yet again, I hear, "that it was nothing to worry about." "That it's completely normal." Then she mentioned that she would talk to my doctor and see if she would be okay with me getting an ultrasound. So I had to wait to hear back from her. The nurse called me back and said that my doctor agreed to me having an ultrasound. Thank God! My appointment was for 12:30.
So now it was the waiting game. But first I had to find a replacement for me at work. Thank goodness for my awesome co-workers! :o)
I figure that Samantha and I would head over to Seth's parent's house, so I could talk to mom about it and see if she would watch Samantha for me while I went to my appointment. I was a nervous wreck the whole time I was there. All I could think about was this baby.
While we were standing there talking, as she was making lunch for the kids. I felt a pretty big gush! It was happening as I was talking. So I totally stopped talking, told Mom that I would be right back and ran to the bathroom. Now, there was a lot more blood and it's red! I'm COMPLETELY FREAKING OUT!!!! I called Seth and told him. You can tell he's just totally sad and confused. All this happened around 11. So an hour and a half before my appointment. It was the longest hour and a half of my life!!!!
Thank God Seth called me back and told me that he was going to the appointment with me. I don't think I could of went by myself.
I met him at the office where they do the ultrasounds. We were seen fairly quickly. We told the tech everything that was going on. Then we finally got started. She had to do a vaginal ultrasound since I was still pretty early yet. Seth was standing right next to me and saw the baby and saw the heart beating right away!!!!!!! But he still had to ask, to be sure. Seth said "That's the baby's heart beating, right?" The tech said, "Yes. Yes it is!" Those were the most amazing words I have heard in a LONG time!
I couldn't really see the screen all that well and I was twisting and turning all around to try and check it out. The tech told me that I needed to lay back and relax. She said that she knows how hard it's right now but she had to get some good pictures of the baby and the surrounding area. She said after she got all that done that I would be able to see the baby and get a measurement of it and heart rate.
The baby was so cute and itty bitty! The peanut had a strong heart beat of 120bpm! Measuring at 6 weeks 1 day. So my new due date is September 6th, 2011!!
So now we had to wait and hear from my doctor to see how everything is and what is causing this bleeding. She finally called me and told me that the baby is perfectly fine. The reason for my bleeding is Subchorionic Hemorrhage. Here's a little info on that. http://www.whattoexpect.com/pregnancy/pregnancy-health/complications/subchorionic-bleeding.aspx Basically, it shouldn't last too long and it should go away on its own. I need to take it easy for about a week though. Which will be a little difficult to do with a 15 month old and work.
I thank you all who prayed for us! I truly, truly appreciate it! We are thanking God for a wonderful out-come. And I thank my amazing husband for sticking by my side and being there for me!
It has been a long/stressful day! So I'm going to bed! lol
I will leave you with some ultrasound pictures and a video of our little peanut! :o)

6 weeks? 1-8-11

BIG news...
On Tuesday, December 28th we found that we are expecting #2!!!!!!!!!!! I was a few days late with my period, I really didn't think anything of it since my periods have been kinda odd lately. But I figure I would take a test anyway. I knew it would be negative but what the heck...lol
So while Samantha was taking her bath I went to the bathroom. To my COMPLETE surprise it was a BIG FAT POSITIVE!! I think I stared at that thing for like 10 minutes! I yelled out Seth and I went to the living room, where he was, and showed him the test. He looked at me and said "you better not be joking!" LOL! I said no, I just took it. He kept looking at the test and looking at me, back and forth! lol. He kept saying wow and whoa. Then he finally said "Well...good, this is awesome!" :o)
I was a little iffy about that test, because they were off brand tests. So after I put Samantha to bed I went to wal-mart and got a pack of first response and digital tests. lol. What? I had to be sure! LOL
Right when I got home I took a digital one and sure enough, it said, PREGNANT!
We are so excited but completely shocked!!! We figured we couldn't get pregnant unless we had some assistance with fertility drugs. We haven't really been trying but we haven't been preventing either. We figured eh, what's the point, I can't get pregnant unless I was on Clomid. I actually made an appointment with my OB for January 18th to see what we needed to do. If we should try on our own first or get on Clomid again. WELLL...Lets just say I canceled that appointment and made a new one for January 25th! :o) It's just insane how God works. I mean all this time and BOOM...We're pregnant, on our own too! It's amazing! We thank God for what he has given us and we pray for a very healthy baby!
The 1st test!
The digital test!

It says (if you can't read it) I've got a secret.
I'm going to be a big sister! :o)
