Disbelief

Here's my chart~~


I can't believe that it's true--that I'm really pregnant. The proof is there--all the sticks say that I'm pregnant, and I have many symptoms. But I just can't believe it.

I feel pretty much like I've been run over by a truck. I'm tired, really tired. It's 10:30 am, and I'm ready for a nap. My stomach is, not really queasy, but not right, either. It's sort of sour, you know? My nipples feel like someone keeps putting clothespins on them-ouch! My head feels foggy--I can't think straight--and I'm smelling things that I've never smelled before!

I experienced some of these symptoms with my other two pregnancies, but it was never as strong as they are now, and I'm not even 4 weeks yet! So I'm going to take this as a good sign.

I had blood drawn yesterday for a beta HcG and progesterone. I should go back on Monday, but the outpatient labs are all closed because of the holiday. I think that they are all looking at the wrong calendar, because Monday is the FIFTH of July, not the FOURTH which is when we are supposed to observe the holiday! I realize that it's nice that they all get the day off on Monday since the holiday happens to fall on a Sunday, but I need my second beta! I think that I will go into the ER and hope that they can draw it for me. If I ask nicely....

Meanwhile, we have friends coming in for the weekend, and we are having a big brunch tomorrow. I'm so tired. It will be a fun weekend, though.

I've been praying a lot. Everynight, I thank God that I was pregnant that day and pray that He keep me pregnant the next. I think that one day at a time is a good way to go. I pinned my St. Gerard medal (Patron St. of unborn children) to my panties this morning as instructed by someone I've talked to (I can't remember!). And I ask for strength and assistance for St. Catherine of Siena, Patroness against miscarriages. I figure at this point, I can use all of the help that I can get.

Grow, Baby, grow!!
