A lot has happened since the last time I wrote. I went in for my last appointment/ultrasound with Dr. D., we were sad but also so very happy that he helped us to get where we are today.
He has always encouraged us to never give up hope.
I just adore him and will miss seeing him.
I had my second ultrasound, which put me at 8 weeks 3 days. My due date is Feb. 28th, 2010. This time we got to hear the heartbeat. I was absolutely amazing. The picture is a little blurry.
I also had my first appointment with my regular obgyn. She is sending me to a perinatologist, which is a specialist that handles only high-risk pregnancies. I am considered high-risk because of the small septum that is left in my uterus and also my high blood pressure. The baby will not have as much room to grow as a normal shaped uterus, so they have to monitor me more closely. The possibility that I will have a c-section is pretty high. So I will be seeing my regular ob and a perinatologist. At that appointment it will be a consult along with an ultrasound. It is in september so I will post the pictures once we have the ultrasound.
Right now I am 11 weeks 4 days. I can't believe that I am almost done with my first trimester. I have definitely felt the effects of being pregnant. I am nausea all day, have heartburn, and I am so tired. I am hoping that it will get better when I get to my second trimester.
But in the end I will never complain about the way I feel and the difficulties that I may experience with this pregnancy because having a child will erase all those feeling. This baby is our little miracle.
