Just a note to document:
More spotting. Less quantity than before. Probably same reason Sunday. *ahem* *blush*

8 weeks 3 days
Well, I had my OB history appt today. Very anti-climatic. An hour of "let's play 100 questions about your private life, your female reproductive system, and every genetic disease know to mankind". Then, seven...yes, SEVEN...vials of blood.
Our OB practice is down a doc so the practice's competition across town is covering them one night a week and one weekend a month 'til further notice. *eyes rolling* So, I could get a complete stranger delivering Böna! Nice.
And, they have a nurse practitioner in there in the meantime. Hope she's better than the midwife from when I was pregnant with Flicka.
Oh, and if we want the ultrasound next week (which used to be "standard") we have to pay out of pocket...$250! *sigh*
Good news? They have a 3D machine but don't charge it as such since they can't always get the pretty pictures everyone expects.
$250 doesn't sound too bad at this point just for peace of mind.
I'm still a mess emotionally...this 8th-9th week really stinks for me since for some reason I'm still clinging to the memory of the baby we lost at 8 weeks in 2002...in August. *sigh* Plus, an upsetting email - the two combined makes for a very hormonal, overly emotional momma.
Next appt: Thursday, August 7th @ 9w4d.

OB history appt tomorrow. Let the blood letting and the 100 invasive/embarassing questions commence! LOL
But, also have on my mind that it appears in the last two years since we had Pojke that we will have the option for the genetic testing NOW during first triemster instead of having to wait until 2nd trimester.
Due to that, need to do some thinking about whether to take the testing this time. And, the testing may also mean getting an ultrasound as early as next week. At least I think.
Lots to consider and decide in the next 48 hours...
Also, noticed my tummy (near the hernia spot) being very tender yesterday while juggling the bouncing the alundry basket on my belly yesterday.
Later: Taking out the trash - noticed the sore tummy muscles while the recycle bin was bouncing off my belly as I walked.
And, my love/hate with the morning sickness: I hate being sick but at least I know I'm still pregnant...
Just really nervous about tomorrow and not finding out any bad news.

A dot of spotting today - probably nothing due to the marital relations in the last 24 hours - but something worth noting in case of problems later this week.
Later that day: no additional spotting.

Spent from Tuesday night until Friday morning *really* sick. Lost 5 lbs this week. And, if one more person tells me that since I was never sick with the Vikings that I *must* be having twins this time, I'm gonna claim the maternity defense and beat them up! LOL
Been also contemplating making maternity clothes - at least tops - this time around.
Been feeling the pull of muscle around my stomach/ab hernia. Kinda weird to be so early but I guess it *is* a weak spot.
Look down at my stomach this week while in the shower and notice the hernia spot bulging at little already...twins, anyone? *eyes rolling*
Have first OB appt on Wednesday then see Dr. B a week from Thursday.

Been feeling pretty good...thus no posts due to worrying or sickness. LOL
Got hit last night at 3:30am with "multi-directional intestinal problems." Feeling dizzy and queasy again too. And, while it's been nearly 20 years ago, I remember enough to know that this feels remarkably like a really bad hangover.
Luckily, today is Tuesday and hopefully the Vikings will be hanging out at their grandparents' house today.
And, a week from tomorrow is my first OB appointment: the appt with the nurse to take all my history and become a pincushion again.

Felt AMAZING today - motivated, charged up, organized...and more importantly - NOT SICK! LOL Had a great day with the kids as well.
