Brunch with other mommies

I went to brunch with 11 other mommies, mommies to be or future mommies on Sunday and it was so wonderful to be able to sit around and chit chat with other ladies who know how I am feeling and what my body is going though. I got so much wonderful advice in regards to the pregnancy and although I had to leave the unlimited champagne out =o(, I really enjoyed the buffet brunch!
I feel fortunate to have all of you in my life and thank you so much for all of the encouragement, support and great advice! Look forward to the next one!

Gift from Grandma and Grandpa

Grandma and Grandpa Manley were so thrilled to find out they are going to be Grandparents, that they wanted to be the very first person to buy the grand baby a gift. So Sweet! The package arrived in the mail today and it is the neatest thing!

The Original Slumber Bear!
"Since 1978 The Original Slumber Bear has been helping millions of newborns sleep in maternity hospitals and homes worldwide. Its the only audio pacifier with and actual recording made inside a mothers womb. Slumber Bears authentic sounds are universally recognized by babies and effective in lulling them to sleep in minutes! Sound box has 5 minute auto shot off timer, with sound and motion sensors that reactivate recoding when baby cries or the bear is moved. Slumber Bear also comes with a Silkie (blanket) that retains parents scent and reassures baby of their presence."

Changing Back

Ok, so I am now the official crazy pregnant lady! LOL. I originally switched OBGYN's because of a really lame reason. But to me at the time, it seems legitimate. I did not like the way the receptionist and nurse made me feel when I would call the Dr.s office for appointments etc. and wanted to chose a Dr. where I would like the staff as well.

I am realizing the staff is really not that important. What is most important is that I (we) like the Dr and feel comfortable with him. We both love the Dr that did the IUI procedure, and it turns out he does delivery (which dummy me, I did not verify in the beginning). So I am cancelling my appointment with the new Dr (WHO WE HATED) and have my next appointment on Wed with our original Dr. I am already feeling less stressed.

The nurse reassured me and told me that being that I am only 5 weeks along, she is not surprised that the Dr did not see anything in the ultra sound. =o)I was not sure what to make of that during the appointment and the Dr did nothing to reassure me.

5 Weeks

Today I am exactly 5 weeks pregnant. Danny and I went to the first appointment with our new Doctor and left there feeling a bit discouraged. The Dr. did an Ultra Sound and didn't see much of anything. He said it is not completely uncommon not to see much this early in the pregnancy. He had me do blood work today and wants blood work again on Friday to compare my "levels" and we scheduled another appointment for next week.
I will call Monday to get the results of the blood work.

Our first gift

Our first gift was from one of my best friends. Anjela bought Danny and I a book. "What to expect when expecting" and "The Expecting Father". I have read through the first two months and Danny has read his book through month one. It is absolutely adorable how into it he is. He is telling me how I feel. Telling me what I should expect as far as cravings, sensitivity to smell, and how much rest I need to get. He has to remind me of that, because I am a busy body.

Our first prenatal visit is tomorrow and I will be 5 weeks pregnant. I will update after I have more news.

Wow, this is a strange feeling. Typing on a blog about being pregnant?? I honestly never thought the day would come! We found out we were pregnant after a long 4 year journey to get here. I took the test Wed morning (08/12/09) and did not believe it was true. I walked out into the living room and said "babe, I think I am pregnant" Danny's reaction was stunned. He said "what do you mean you "think" you are pregnant? I told him the test sais I am... but I just don't believe it.

the next day I had the blood test to confirm!

Telling the grandparents to be was exciting. My mom cried of course, and was over joyed. She told me it was a race to see who gets to tell my dad first! I won! My dad said "Oh wow, congratulations, to meeeee" Hahhaa. Danny's mom seemed almost like she was expecting it, and was very excited. Danny's dad was full of joy as well!
