I am Pregnant

I am pregnant.

Here's the back story.

My husband Jeff and I got married May 15, 2010. We were expecting by May 18th due to a very late ovulation, and we could not be more blessed (or surprised). I wanted to start a journal to start writing down my thoughts during this time. I've gotten this suggestion more than once by more than one person so I thought, "why not?"

Let's start with the weather. This weather is outrageous. Let me tell you. In the daytime it has been 100+ degrees. For the past three nights it has been so hot. Last night was the worst. Our central air has been broken since we bought our house, but we do have one window unit in the bedroom, and we have been using this as we sleep. Last night I was awaken to the sound of the electricity going out, which meant my window unit also out. The room got hot quick and I had to open a window and bring our two dogs to the basement where it is just a tad cooler. Finally the air went back on around 12:30 and I was able to retrieve the dogs and go back to sleep.

I was so tired this morning due to the outage, and as I went out the door noticed that an animal had dug through our trash bag and i had to clean up the mess. Of course, and if my morning couldn't get any worse, I missed the bus to work!

The highlight of my day was the fact that we were able to get a family friend in to take a look at our central air conditioning, and got it to work! No more 95+ degree house (seriously!).

Now on to baby news. Right now I am only 9 weeks. I got an ultrasound at 6 weeks to date the pregnancy (re: late ovulation). I had my second OB apt this afternoon and I am too early for her to really do much. I asked her what the Heart Rate of the baby was at the 6-week ultrasound and she said 106. She thought that was a little low and is sending me back for a follow-up ultrasound. I am crossing my fingers for a good ultrasound whenever I get to schedule it.
