I'm 9 weeks today and everything seems to be going okay.
Friday night was pretty exciting because I started throwing up! We just got in bed to watch a movie and all of a sudden I was sprinting for the bathroom saying goodbye to all the tastey Thanksgiving leftovers. I felt okay yesterday and today. Very tired but only mild nausea.
I'm going for my next dr. appointment in about 3 weeks and I'm pretty nervous, but excited as well.

8 weeks 2 days
Today is Festus' due date... weird.
I'm 8 weeks 2 days and a little nervous. Festus made it to 8 weeks and 3 days. I still feel pretty sick and tired, in fact I feel sicker this week than I ever have. I thought I was going to puke on a few different people today but ended up just burping... sorry!
I'm going to go take a nap.

Ultrasound!
I went for my first ultrasound yesterday and Josh came with me. All day I was very nervous, moody and anxious because I had a bad feeling something was wrong. We got in there and the woman doing the ultrasound found the baby right away (not like last time where it was an act of God to find it) and said everything looks great! We got to see his little heart beating and then we got to listen to it. That was the best sound in the world! I recorded it on my phone so I can listen to it over and over again! The baby is 3/4 of an inch long and today is 7 weeks and 6 days.

Different Symptoms
So far this pregnancy has been a lot different than the first. I'm much more sensitive to smells, sights and even the thought of certain smells (fish) and sights (melted cheese). I'm very nauseous pretty much 24/7, very tired and emotional. Yesterday I spent the day being tired, hungry, nauseous and weepy... poor Josh. From what I hear feeling nauseous is a good thing so as much as I hate to say it... "bring it on!!"
Ginger ale and cheerios are the only things that sound good most of the time. Sometimes pasta and sometimes crackers and cheese.
Last night while I was watching TV they kept playing Papa John's commercials. The sight of the greasy cheesy pizza with greasy bacon on top was enough to make me gag. Even thinking about it 24 hours later makes me quiver. Damn you, Papa John's.
I felt very ill at work today and it must of been quite obvious because my boss kept checking in on me and seemed very concerned. I decided to tell her so she would relax a little and leave me be. Also because I'm going to be missing a decent amount of work for upcoming appointments and this way she'd know why and not think I was becoming like the other deadbeats at work. She seemed excited for me but of course had to mention "only 9 months to find and train a replacement while you're out!" I can't wait. :)

Let's Try This Again
I'm trying out blogging during my pregnancy again. But this time this blog shall remain secret for a few more months. Here's a recap for those who don't know the whole story. I found I was pregnant March 2008. In May 2008 i went to my 12 week appointment and was told that I had lost the baby. Two weeks later my doctor called to inform me that I had a partial molar pregnany, I had to be monitored weekly/monthly because the tissue that was in me could grow back and turn into cancer and that I couldn't try again for 6-8 months. You can visit this site for more information on partial molar pregnancies: http://my.clevelandclinic.org/disorders/molar_pregnancy/hic_partial_molar_pregnancy.aspx
I had to have weekly blood tests for about 3 weeks. Because my HCG levels were dropping quickly I was able to start having monthy testing done. In September 2008 I found an article online about partial moles that indicated I only had to wait 3 months before I started trying again instead of the 6-8 months my doctor had said. I called my doctor the next day to discuss this. I told her about the article and that it's already been three months and I didn't want to wait any longer. She told me to get one more blood test and if it was negative I could start trying again. I did as she instructed and got the negative test result I was so desperate for. One month later I was pregnant. I had to have two blood tests done the last week in October to make sure that the HCG levels were rising normally and last week I had my first prenatal exam. In two weeks (at 7 weeks/5 days preg) I'm having an ultrasound to make sure the pregnancy is progressing normally and if so I'll go back in four weeks. So far so good!
