Silence is Golden

I have been abnormally quiet lately. I've been withdrawn from the crowd a bit, and definitely trying to keep to myself. I was kicked out of Weight Watchers and I have missed multiple days of work the month of April. Not like me you say? Well yes. I agree! So what's my deal? Well folks. April 4th I went to the doctor to do some blood work. After almost a year of having horrible hormonal issues, and meds and the in and out doctor's appointments....The results are in. I'm pregnant!
SHOCKED to say the least! Boy oh boy has life taken a turn for the crazy. The past few weeks alone have been a whirlwind. I immediately went to the doctor on April 7th for my first OB appointment. After routine urine and blood samples..I was pretty much handed a giant blue bag full of 'how to be pregnant' manuals/magazines/pamphlets, followed with samples of prenatal pills and a list of basic "To Do's". The following Monday April 11th I received a call from my doctor's office asking me to come in THAT day for an Ultrasound. My progesterone from my bloodwork was a little low so they wanted to make sure the baby was okay. Giving me barely 30 minutes notice, my husband rushed from work breaking the sound barrier to make it to our baby's first appointment. We arrived...and we were so blessed to see this tiny little thing inside me. Yes folks. It looks like a seahorse.... alien....thing. But I don't care. We were able to see a strong 144-120 beats per minute on the screen. They put me at approximately 7 weeks.
So here I am a few weeks later prepping for my doctor's appointment this upcoming Friday, April 29th. This appointment I should be able to hear a heartbeat and have another ultrasound to see how things are going. I'm nervous as all get out right now. I've been taking my progesterone pills daily. I am hoping for good news on Friday.
SO...for obvious reasons..... my blog has taken a bit of a turn. But it is called surviving this crazy thing called life for a reason.... I'm surviving. Now my plans are no longer to work my butt off to lose weight... but instead to work my butt off to be healthy not just for me but for this little tiny little prune-size thing inside me :) God has blessed me with a wonderful opportunity. One a lot of women do not have the chance to do anymore. There is not a day that goes by that I stop and take a moment to thank God for the wonderful miracle he has blessed my husband and I with.
Please join in celebrating me!!!!
