Well hello there, Week Eight

Posted by Candy September 30th, 2008

So, what is new in Week 8? Nothing really. Still the same o’ same o’ stuff. Feeling nauseous whenever I eat too much or when I’ve gone a long period without a snack. The Rhinitis crap has been a bit easier to manage lately although I do still have a congested and runny nose on [...]

We have a good heart beat!

Posted by Candy September 26th, 2008

This morning we had our second ultrasound where we happily learned that the heart rate was up to 153 beats per minute. However, we measured a day behind from what we were measuring two weeks ago, at 7 weeks 4 days. Gene and I both think the lady doing the ultrasound didn’t click her little [...]

And “Morning” sickness rears its ugly head

Posted by Candy September 24th, 2008

So I thought I would write a quick little update on how I’ve been feeling. So far, I’ve only really experienced some extra mild nausea that is pretty much only showing it’s ugly face here and there.

The Heartbeat

Posted by Candy September 12th, 2008

This morning the Hubby and I went in to have our very first ultrasound done. My doctor wanted to get a good idea of when we were due because my last period being kind of.. weird. So, we had to have a transvaginal ultrasound done since it is still so early. My doctor told me [...]

The Great Pregnancy Cold/Sinus Infection of 2008

Posted by Candy September 10th, 2008

At least I hope it’s the only one to come, anyway. I am so exhausted from this cold that I’ve had. Or Sinus Infection. Whatever stupid name they want to give it. The fact is that I am exhausted from it and I haven’t been able to breathe out of my nose in at least [...]
