Pregnancy stuff

So, yeah. About this blog! I have neglected it as of late, and I really shouldn't. Stupid facebook, and cleaning, and cooking, and sleep. Yeah, it's the sleep's fault.

Anyway, about the pregnancy. Yes, I am now 7 weeks pregnant, and really do not feel pregnant at all! It is so disconcerting. I love that I don't get sick, but it makes for a weird start to all of them. At least when you're throwing up, you kinda feel like things are going well, and no worries. I mean, I am tired, and going to the bathroom ALL THE TIME, but still, do not feel pregnant. The bathroom could just be me drinking a ton of water. Tired, well, that is my reality. Moving on.....

I go to the OB in 2 weeks, and get an ultrasound in 3. I will not rest until then. I can't stand not knowing if things are all good. I know I should trust God, and I do! But I am human.

We have names already!! Cool, huh? I guess when you let 3 years go by between pregnancies, you have lots of time to think about cool names. It is weird that it is this long since Rachel. She will be 3 in November, and I haven't had this much of a space between any of them except when I wasn't married. There is exactly 4 years between Ashley and Adam.

I am due April 24th, and I know the exact date of conception. It will be interesting to see what the ultrasound comes up with as far as dates. I hope they match, because really....I know the date of conception. LOL!

Seriously, doctors don't care about that Holly. They go buy last men cycle. ALWAYS. I have never heard of a doctor actually listening to a woman when she claims to know the conception date. So...

Anyway, yea, I always seem to know mine too. But I dont go to the doctor. I prefer to be autonomous.

NOW don't get me wrong...I KNOW exactly why you are going...just saying why I dont go. LOL

How on earth can you do that, Michelle? Just not ever go? Do you own a doppler? Do you ever suffer from DBT's (deceased baby thoughts)? I just need to see the baby to know things are okay, because I usually don't have a whole lot of movement for a very long time, so its just a lot of anxiety for me.

I know why you want the ultrasound....but Holly, even if the doctor doesn't agree with your date, or says anything that makes you worry, DON'T. Just give it to the Lord. He is in control!

My kids always had a growth spurt at the beginning of my pregnancies which made the doctor think that they would be due earlier, but then their growth slowed down.

Also, for me anyway, every pregnancy was different. During one pregnancy I might be throwing up every five minutes, but during the next I would feel fine!!

I'm glad you're feeling better than usual, at least as far as morning sickness goes! :)

What are the names you've been thinking about?
