Panic button

SO everything was going as planned. I have been living my life as normally as possible over the last few weeks... hoping to not get too caught up in the fact that I am pregnant,just in case something happened. Other than the nausea, massively growing chest, and exhaustion, everything was fine... until Tuesday morning.


I woke up at about 6 am. This is unheard of for me. I typically make fun of people who are morning people, and I was rather proud of the fact that my children will sleep until 11am. This has all changed. For some reason I sit up every day at 6 am... and that's it.. I'm up. Maybe it's some sort of clue that the littlest Parker will have a different sleeping schedule than the rest of the Parker family. If this holds true... this poor child will be lonely in the morning hours. :) ( I mean , even Scarlett & Ruby Jones sleep unitl 2 pm) Back to the point: Tuesday was like every other day: wake up.. feel sick.. pee 30 times an hour... etc... except I felt crampy. The cramp was isolated on the left side. I didn't like this feeling.. but figured I had a lot to learn about the aches and pains of pregnancy. It was the 30th trip to the bathroom that I noticed a "spot" in my unders. A SPOT! I put 2 and 2 together, and realized: I was crampy and spotting at 6 weeks. I had this sinking feeling that this was the begnning of the end. I quickly called a friend who assured me that she spotted during 2 of her 3 pregnancies.. and to just " call the doctor." Now, WHICH DOCTOR? I have so many! I started with Dr. Ratner. Who of course was out of town. The nice doctor on call advised me to call my GYN. I called my gyn and the nurse told me to get a sonogram. Parker met me at the radiology lab. I sat there wondering how I was going to compose myself if the news was bleak. I sat there shaking. They called our names and we went in. The sonogram tech was quiet.. and finally said " welp, you have a perfectly formed egg yolk in a perfectly formed sac, which is what we are looking for. Everything looks fine." I felt my blood pressure drop back to it's normal place, and I listened as she told us that everything looks great, including " your cervix is long and closed, and the lining looks good." Parker commented on my ovaries and said " your ovaries look sexy today" Which made the sonogram tech giggle. You hafta wonder the things that woman hears. We were elated. We had a perfectly formed egg yolk who is obviously a morning person.
Back on the homefront: Millie and Holden were playing @ a neighbor's home during my appointment. When my neighbor asked if there was anything the kids couldn't eat or do I told her " nope." Turns out: The kids all played " guns" together while I was gone. Which is Parker and my biggest NO-NO! There is no gun play/violience ALLOWED in this home. ( sigh. now what??!)Note to self: next time Millie & Holden play @ this particular neighbor's house, they will let the neighbors know " guns are stupid" and encourage everyone to play a NICE game. ( hey.. this is MY board... if you disagree.. get your own blog!)
I have an appointment with my obgyn today. I am nervous of course, but since I feel like throwing up this very instant, I think everything is gonna be okay.
