5 Weeks and Counting

On this past Thursday, April 11th I entered into my 5th week of pregnancy. Aside from the tiredness I am feeling great! My afternoons usually involve a short nap if I don't have plans. As of now I am just counting the days till my first ultrasound on April 24th. I will be about 7 weeks and my nurse said we should be able to hear a heartbeat. As I progress I am beginning to wonder if there will be one or two heartbeats. I am only 5 weeks and already have a small bump. I guess we will see in 11 days. I did start spotting again yesterday. I called my nurse freaking out again (they are going to get tried of me calling every time something happens) and she assured me that it was more than likely the medications I am on since it's not a whole lot like a normal monthly cycle. Just to make me feel a little better, I did take a home test this morning and it put a smile on my face that it said pregnant. I'm so use to those things giving me bad news month after month it felt good to finally see it say pregnant! Travis is very excited about the news and wishes he could be here with me throughout the process. Originally we were planning on an European vacation in July during his time off. However, now the company is having us choose the vacation time or him here with the baby/babies are born. We've talked about this prior to him leaving and it was a hard decision for us because we know that the vacation will probably never be in our grasp again. But I got to thinking about it and really want him here with me the last few weeks of pregnancy and during delivery. He will be home the beginning of December and will be home for 45 days, which should also be majority of my maternity leave from school. I am thrilled he will be here for the delivery and I know he will be excited too!

Until next time....
