Well....

I was a bad bad blogger!!

Sloan Whylder Butler arrived on January 19, 2010 at 8:53 pm. He weighed 7lbs 1oz and was 19 1/4 inches long. We had our home birth and it was amazing. I will post that in another post by itself.

Here he is :)

Our midwife appointment!

We went and met the midwives. Totally loved them, and will def be going with them. And most likely be a home birth too. Craig was even impressed with them and how things were done.

Here is a little snippet of our baby's heartbeat!

Our first appointment!

We finally had our first appointment! Things went well. My urine was fine, my bp was a bit low, but he said it was nothing to worry about. I have gained 8lbs since I got pregnant. I almost fell off of the scale. I am so scared of gaining too much. Anyway...I will be better next month ;) I had my pap, and breast exam. He told me the mass that I was feeling in my breast was just breast tissue and nothing to worry about. He said they would keep an eye on it though.

We got to hear the baby's heartbeat! He tried for a few minutes on the left side, but couldnt get it. Said the placenta is anterier. He finally found her over on the right side. It was at 150bpm.

I also have my u/s booked for September 9 at 11am. 1 month, 2 weeks, 6 days! hehe...but who's counting?!

Its been a long time baby...

Wow, I hadnt realised how long it had been since I had posted.

Things with me and baby have been good. There has been a few days that I have felt a little queezy, but other than that, I have been doing awesome.

The last couple of days my headaches have been back though, so that is NO FUN.

Also my face has been breaking out like you would not believe. Ah...the joys :)

I am now 10 weeks 3 days pregnant and counting down the days until the second trimester. I have a dr appointment on Friday and praying that we get to hear the heartbeat.

oh the drama...

Well I have a whole saga on me! Lets see if I can give the shortened version....A few days before I got my bfp I was getting pains in my shoulder and down my chest a bit. I had read on the Internet(after I got my bfp), that it could be a sign of a tubal pregnancy. SO of course I freak out.This Wednesday I go to the ER with my concern. They did an u/s and baby(well just the sac at that point), was in my uterus nice and snug where she belonged. SO..phewww...all is OK with baby BUT...they decide(by my blood numbers), that I may have a blood clot in my left lung and that is what is causing me the pain. They can not run all the tests they would normally run because I am pregnant and they would cause harm to the baby. So going based on my blood counts, this is the prognosis they have come up with.Even though they can not say for sure that is what it is, they are treating me like it is a blood clot. Better safe than sorry. Because if they don't treat me, and it is a clot...well...it could kill me.So Wednesday and yesterday I got shots of lovenox, which is a anti coagulant. It will thin my blood and break up the clot. I questioned him about the drug and if it is harmful to baby and he told me that a lot of pregnant women have to have it when they are pg(for other reasons), and it is perfectly safe. I also questioned my neighbor who is a pharmacist and he researched it for me and said it is safe.I go back again today, and they will do my blood work again and see what my numbers are doing. If they decide that I need to continue treatment, I am pretty sure this will be something that I have to do every day my entire pregnancy. I think I cried for 2 days straight because of all of this. It just really scares me.Oh and the Dr said the cause of it...well it happens in pregnancy sometimes...1%...I think I need to go buy a lotto ticket!

Tired and loving it!

I think I am still in shock! I am absolutely thrilled! I am so blessed and lucky!

I of course have taken more tests. Well actually only one. So 4 in total. Thats not bad! So I have to share pictures of them all of course :)

So the one alone is 13dpo. And the three of them are 11, 12, and 13dpo :)

12dpo...

and what a beautiful sight to wake up to!!!
