General, Pregnancy
I’ve now mastered how to change my myspace layout. (If you add me send me a message because I usually ignore requests from people I don’t know.) It’s really easy once you get the hang of it.
So I had my blood drawn yesterday for a progesterone test. After my miscarriage my obgyn told me to come in as soon as I find out I’m pregnant for a progesterone test. If I have low levels of progesterone that caused my miscarriage, they can give me progesterone to help this pregnancy last. I doubt I have low levels. I really think it was just one of those things and that I’m perfectly healthy and everything will work out fine. My first real appointment is on Nov 14th, I’ll be exactly 7 weeks. We’ll be able to see the heartbeat 
I’m realllllllllllly excited! Kinda nervous… I saw the heartbeat last time at 7w3d. I’m sure everything will be just fine. Can you tell that I am telling myself that a lot? 
I have a list of things I want to do this weekend. Hopefully I’ll get a lot of it done. On the list are finishing this site and putting the wedding photos online. I get asked every day when I’m going to do it so I am going to force myself to do that this weekend. I also went out and got some fabric to make my hubby some pajama pants. I haven’t done any sewing in a long time so hopefully they’ll turn out alright. I also need to vaccum the house. The majority of the downstairs is tile and I am starting to see stuff collect in the place where the wall meets the floor and it’s driving me nuts.
I need to get away from my addicting computer.

i’m quite happy for you!!!
now, i have to be like every person in america and give you advice, and then i get to say…’you heard it here first…’
i’m 32 weeks and it seems like i have been pregnant for YEARS!!! uggggg. it’s soooo long, that’s one thing that it is for sure…sooooo very, very long. so i’d find a bunch of stuff to do, because if not you’re gonna be pulling your hair out. i hated waiting for my appointments to come…i’d want to see what was going on with the baby. i’d be angry when the appt gave me no new information. :grr2:
also, soon the sickness will start(prolly). i got sick from every smell…ewwww, i hated the smell of walmart, coffee, chicken patties, bbq sauce…ANYTHING really. if someone walked by too quickly that would make me sick. that lasted until about 12 weeks. so hang in there with that. maybe you wont get sick, but the sicker you are, the healthier the baby or something…i dunno.
finally, and then i’ll shut up…the awkward period came…the “do i look pregnant??” months. i would wear my cute lil baby doll tops and ask perfect strangers, “hey, can you tell i’m pregnant????” the answer was always…”no, but i like your top…its cute.” it took until 6 months for me to look like i was pregnant, and even then i was doing this over the top pregnant walk to make sure people knew…yeah, i’m weird.
finally the home stretch comes and you just become bored outta your mind. i’m all, “yeah, yeah, the baby’s heart beat…blah, blah, blah…” there’s no new information whatsoever. it’s just waiting to go into labor. pretty much after you find out if it’s a boy or a girl it gets boring at the appointments. then you’re soooo bored and hungry all the time and there’s nothing to do but surf the web and NEST, NEST, NEST!!! oh, and heartburn…i burp really gnarly now. so, there’s burping and surfing the web to find someone to bother when my husband’s at work…oooh he just pulled in now!!
if you wanna look at the chinese gender chart, it works pretty well. i wish i hadn’t. everyone in my preggo group said it was accurate, and it was accurate for me. i was sad at first because i wanted a girl, but now i am sooo happy to be having a boy!
good luck with everything, and i help my tangent at least slightly entertained you. i’m bored, but i only have a short time until i get to meet the person who’s kicking me all the time!!
best wishes!!!!

Everything will be just fine!! Before my son was born (hes now 3) I had a miscarriage as well… I got pregnant a month after my miscarriage and I havent had any problems since. I just had my 2nd baby a little girl on October 2nd! Most 1st pregnancies end in miscarriage, most girls just dont realize they are pregnant… so you know what? EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE! Like you said you are healthy and young so I have no doubts that you will be fine! I’m extreamly happy for you, I know you have no idea who I am but I’ve been a reader for YEARS and I know (by reading) how much you wanted this.. So, good luck to you and Preston! I will keep checking back to see your progress..
Enjoy it Sarah… the end result is amazing!
