SEVEN weeks! I love Thursdays because they bring another week milestone!
How 'bout my new blog design? Spiffy, no? I LOVE it. I have changed my design a bazillion times because I get bored so easily but this one may stay awhile. Me likee.
I want another ultrasound. Like NOW. Unfortunately we don't have another one scheduled until 8 weeks 6 days. Pooey. There is no reason for me to think anything bad is happening in there, right? Cramping continues, worst when I'm sleeping and get up to pee. Absolutely no spotting since that small episode a way long time ago that I now think was implantation. Good betas, a good ultrasoud with measurements where they should be and a strong heartbeat. BUT you read online all of the time about miscarriages in seemingly healthy pregnancies. GAH I thought I would be nothing but elated but I go back and forth from that to absolutely terrified.
We are flying to Florida for one of my besties weddings next Wednesday for a week. 2 flights to get there, 2 flights to get home. Flying is supposedly a-ok right? That's what I've found - but it just kills me to think of anything I do possibly harming things. Besides my stupid fears I am SOOOO looking forward to this trip. I need to relax and laugh with my friends. I will post pics when I come back...I've been thinking about becoming less and less anonymous here so maybe I will even let you have a glimpse of my gaaaahhhgeous face :)
Happy 7 weeks! I'm totally with you on the fear thing, and I too swing from being super positive to absolutely terrified that something will happen-and I would also like to have an ultrasound every 2 days if I could hehe. Today though I decided that I need to stop stressing and just try and think positive 'baby' thoughts for the future. Just think, in 5-6 weeks we'll be celebrating starting our 2nd trimester!Hope you have a great time in Florida!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on making it to 7 weeks. Waiting for that next ultrasound absolutely sucks. But, I think you will be happily surprised at the changes happening in there!
ReplyDeleteHave fun at the wedding! I had to fly early in my pregnancy too. I asked the RE about any concerns and she said that flying was absolutely fine. She said passing through the metal detectors was fine. However, if you are selected for the random X-Ray screening, opt out and get patted down instead. When I flew to Georgia for a baby shower I was randomly selected and was felt up at the airport. It really wasn't that bad...
Also - be sure to drink plenty of water in flight. Pregnant women get dehydrated easily. I combatted this by requesting bottles of water from the flight attendants before I even took my seat.
Happy 7 weeks! Hopefully going to the wedding helps the time before your next US go by quicker. Have fun and drink lots of water and move around a lot during the flight.
ReplyDeleteCongrats for 7wks! I LOVE the new designs!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy 7 weeks! I get bored of blog designs pretty quick too, but I haven't changed mine in a bit. I don't want to jinx anything. I flew during the first trimester and all was well. Have a great time!
ReplyDeleteYay for a great 7 week appt! This is when it would be really nice if we had a close friend or family member who were an ob/gyn. My SIL works in orthopedics but x-rays are not what I need, lol. Love the new design and have fun on your trip!!!
