Somewhere around 9weeks

Today Scott and I had our doctor's appt. Everything went really well (besides having to wait for an hour in the lobby). But that's kind of par for the course at my doctor's office. I absolutely love my OBGYN and would not go anywhere else. We had another ultrasound done and I must admit I am really getting spoiled by my visits. The ulrasound picture is not that great but you can see the head of the baby kinda in the middle of the picture. It was incredible to see the baby twitch and move a little. We got to see the little legs and a little bitty arm. Dr. Sanford said the baby's right on track.The next visit is not going to be for another 3weeks and I'm sure I can wait that long to see another picture of my baby. Dr. Sanford said that it looks like the due is not going to be Feb. 1 (which is Scott's birthday). It's gone from 02/05, 02/03, 02/04, and now to 02/01.

So...thank you again for all those out there praying us. I think I'm relaxing into this pregnancy and accepting that it's going to be a healthy pregnancy. I'm still little nervous and I know we still have a long way to go, but as each day goes by without any more spotting or other problems I'm slowly allowing myself to enjoy this time.

Quick Update

Well.....morning sickness has finally hit with a vengeance. That's why there hasn't been much of an update this past week. I guess it could be worse. Tuesday was really bad and the rest of the week has gotten a little easier. I must admit the worse part of getting sick is being at work. For those of you who know.....I'm kind of a private person and throwing up at work does not lend to much privacy. But my co-workers are absolutely wonderful. They do anything they can do to help me make it through the day. So without them I'm not sure I would have actually survived the week. Thank goodness tomorrow is FRIDAY!! This weekend I plan on sleeping as much as possible and trying to get some sun when I'm not sleeping. Scott and I have our next doctor's appt on Monday at 2:45pm. I'm hoping we get to have another ultrasound done. I'm excited about seeing how much Baby Corbitt has grown. Scott's excited about the amount of ultrasound pictures we are going to have because we can make a small flip book of the baby's development. I will try to update you all over the weekend and definitely monday evening when I get home from the doctor's appt.

7week ultrasound and check-up

So....my doctor's appt went pretty well. We're at 7weeks 1day. The baby's heartbeat is 145 and very strong. I must admit I definitely breathe a sigh of relief when I saw the baby's heartbeat so fast. Unfortnately, Baby Corbitt was a little shy today and had a hard time getting a good picture. Dr. Sanford said everything looks good but I still need to take it easy and rest as much as I can. I go back in 2weeks and then another 2weeks for my 1st trisemester tests. I can't believe we've almost made it through the first 2months. Holy Cow!!!

Thank you to all of my friends who have been keeping us in your prayers and continuing to check on me. It means a lot to know that I have wonderful people to lean on.

Almost 7week update

Ok....So I'm not the best blogger in the world right now. I had a doctor's appt last wednesday because I was spotting a little. Everything seems to be okay. We had an ultrasound done and the baby's heartbeat was 120 and the baby looked good. Thankfully, Courtney (my sister) was able to take an extended lunch and meet me at the md's office because Scott was out of town. I definitely appreciated having her with me. It was great because Courtney got to see Baby Corbitt at 6weeks. I'm pretty anxious to go to my appt tomorrow. I think more than anything I want to make sure things are still on the right track.

As far as me....I seem to have my good moments and the not so great moments. I'm extremely tired and nauseous pretty much all of the time. Scott thought my bedtime was early before I got pregnant....now it's usually between 8-9pm. What can I say, I'm just a girl who likes my beauty sleep.

I'll try to post tomorrow and let everyone know how the appointment went. Thanks for all of those who already know and are checking on me and keeping us in your prayers. It feels wonderful to have so many family & friends to turn to. I know Scott worries about me when he's gone but he knows I'll be in good hands.

Hello!!

Hello family and friends!!

I've never blogged before and I'm hoping everyone out will enjoy this wonderful journey with me. As you may have guessed, Scott and I are pregnant. But I want to catch everyone up to speed with what has been going on since the beginning of this year. Back in February, Scott and I decided we would start trying to conceive and have a baby. Who knew it would happened so quickly. For those of you who know April, she was correct. When we got together on Feb. 23rd to watch the Tigers vs. Vols game...I was a few days pregnant. I didn't even know but April knew right way. She was also right at Jenny's birthday dinner. It took everything I had not to tell everyone. We didn't tell for two reasons: 1) It was Jenny's birthday and I didn't want to ruin her special evening and 2) We hadn't been to doctor's office yet. I guess things happen for a reason because later that month I had a miscarriage. The doctors don't really know why but something wasn't right. The baby's heartbeat was only 80 (normal range should be around 120 I think). And so April 1st I had a D&C and were told we could start trying to conceive after my next cycle.

Surprisingly enough, here we are. Scott and I were able to conceive mid-May and are crossing our fingers that every thing is okay with this little one. I went to the md's office on Wednesday, May 28th and did all the blood work and had the exam. My doctor said everything seems to be lining up correctly for this pregnancy. I also talked to my nurse on Friday, June 6th and was told Congratulations!! We are very, very pregnant. I'm looking forward to going this upcoming Friday, June 13th to do more blood work and an ultrasound to see how far along we are and make sure everything okay. I'm definitely taking it one day at a time and trying to keep stress way down. But for those of you who know what my job is (Clinical Therapist) sometimes stress can run throughout the day...especially with 4 hours of crisis. I'm also trying to keep caffiene down to a minimum. Of course, there are days that I slip and have a sweet tea but those days are few and far between.

There are so many things going through my mind right now...I think the main thought is having a healthy baby. I know there was a reason for the miscarriage. I am so thankful to have wonderful a sister and friends to help me through this rough little spot.

I'm looking forward to sharing this wonderful experience with everyone and would love your advice on the upcoming months.
