I don't have much to update these days. I guess I'm used to all the treatment update blog posts and I feel like I'm seriously slacking these days. I apologize but, you're not missing much. I went to my first OB appointment on Monday. I was so nervous and excited and had written a list of about 15 questions to ask my OB when I got there. Because of a scheduling issue I ended up leaving work very early and rushing to get in for an earlier appointment so I would still get to be seen that day (they were going to reschedule my appointment since it was later in the afternoon but I was NOT missing this appointment:P) Anyway, I went in, went back and got weighed, peed in a cup and they took my blood pressure. Then I got to sit in a room and wait. And wait some more. FINALLY my doctor came in! It was actually my doctor too (the one I see for all my gyn appts). I had originally scheduled the appt for a doctor that was available that day since mine wasn't but my doctor was on call and saw my name on the list of patients. He knew I was more than likely going to do IVF so he wanted to see me and congratulate me so he did the appointment instead. It was awesome. He came in with a big smile and was so so happy for me:) We talked for a bit and of course I forgot that list of questions I made so the talking part was much shorter. Then he said lets get to the fun part! He did an u/s!
Petri has grown so much in 2 weeks! It's crazy to see him/her every 2 weeks because s/he's grown so much! It was awesome though and petri's starting to look more like a baby and less like a blob. I also got to hear the heartbeat for the first time which was amazing. I got a bunch of pictures to take home to show J since he didn't come to the appt (wasn't sure what to expect so he wasn't planning to come and since I went about 5 hours earlier than planned, he wouldn't have been able to make it anyway).
After I got dressed I went out thinking the appt was over but no, they had to draw blood. I signed a paper and it said what the were testing my blood for, and it's all things I've been tested for at my RE's office. It's annoying but I'm so used to rolling up my sleeves to give blood that they may as well hook up a central line:P
All in all a great appointment. My next one is in 3 weeks (supposed to be 4 but they didn't have anything available then). As long as everything looks good at that appointment we'll be letting the last of our friends and family know and then "coming out" on facebook:)
Today I got a call that said my urine culture from monday came back positive for a UTI. I was shocked because as far as I know, I'm not feeling any symptoms. They called in a prescription for an antibiotic so I'll take that for a week and hopefully be "cured";)
Symptom wise I'm generally fine. I usually wake up nauseous most mornings but after I eat something I'm ok. I've been gagging a lot more but it's really not bad. My worst symptom right now is bloat. It had gone away a few weeks into my pregnancy but now it's back with a vengeance. It's so bad it hurts:( I'm hoping this will pass soon. But, I have an idea of what I'll look like at 5 months pregnant if I just gain in my belly:P
I promise promise promise to upload u/s pics soon...just not tonight! tooo tired!
