Month 1

**The 7 pregnancy tests I've taken since that first night - all positive - I insisted that I keep taking them just because I liked watching the 2nd line pop up**

I'd like to say a lot has happened this month... but the truth is not a lot has happened, but I've learned a lot.  For starters, by the time I found out I was pregnant, I was already 5 weeks pregnant!.. which makes this week 6.
I've scheduled my first appointments (with my ob and with my maternal fetal medicine specialist).
I've also had to schedule an appointment to be taught how to give myself Lovenox injections (my new blood thinner).  This thrills me about as much as banging my head off the coffee table thrills me.  I am scared to death of needles... so much that the past two times I've gotten blood drawn, I've come close to passing out in fear.... not pain... fear.  I guess this will be a good way to overcome my fear of needles, since I'll be giving myself shots in my belly twice a day for the next 8 months.
I've had a few pregnancy symptoms (some that I won't discuss online... ha) - but the worst one has been daily/nightly gas pains... that bring me to my knees.  I've read that gas pains of this sort are normal during early pregnancy, yet I've never met anyone that has experienced this.
However, I have to say that I'm very thankful that I haven't had any "morning sickness" yet.  Knock on wood, I'm hoping I'm one of the few lucky pregnant women that WON'T experience this :)
We simply cannot wait until Feb. 25th (the day of our first ob appointment), where we're hoping to get our first sonogram and news that everything is headed in the right direction!!  Then, I'm hoping to spread our exciting news.  It's driving me crazy to hold it in! I want to tell the world that I'm going to be a mommy!  I'll feel better about telling more people when we have heard the heartbeat!
Until then, I am not going to make this blog public... so those of you that read this after Feb. 25th have a lot of catching up to do!! =)
