All Knocked up...don't know what to do...

I'm pregnant! I've been out on email/blogging due to the fact we just moved...again...to Coralville, IA. The computer was recently set up...and I still haven't found the camera to send out any pics. BUT...I'm back. I'm due April 27th which puts me at a little over 8 weeks. We went to the doctor 2 days before we were moving from Chicago. I was hoping for a sonogram, because I wasn't really sure how far along I was based on the last time Aunt Flo visited me was in June, but I tested negative until August....hmmm...interesting.

So, we go, and Josh is hungover by the way...I was hoping he would not get sick by watching me get a pap, but he stayed near my head, and tried not to watch....the funny thing is afterward he's like...does that hurt? I'm like, no it's the best feeling in the world to have a giant metal clamp in your vagina....any more questions? So, basically she was not going to give me a sonogram, but wasn't sure how far along I was either, so...I got one.

Moving on the the next place where more things are in my v-ja-ja. At this point, I'm like bring it, I've already had the pap, the blood test, the breast check...which Josh's comment was...man she was all up in those things....That time I just gave him a look like..."seriously?"...moving on to the sonogram, now, I've never had one. I didn't know there were several ways to have one of these things like internally...so she asks me if I would like to insert it myself...to which I replied, um...well the last time I put a giant wand with the camera on the end of it in there...so go for it. Now, this might be a personal decision for some. My thought was, aren't you the nurse? Then she was annoyed that I didn't want to do it myself....WHATEVER.

So, we see it...the "rice" shape that is our baby, but she's not really telling us that, and finally I have to ask...is that it, and she's like, oh, yeah. Well, that would have been good information to know. So, I'm annoyed, because she's doing things on the machine and not telling us what they are, and she's trying to wand areas in me that apparently don't want to be wand-ed...and Josh is like...I don't see it. But then we hear the heartbeat...and it was so cool. I don't know how my baby's heart could beat so fast when it is that tiny and just sitting there, but it became very real. Josh said, ok, now it's starting to sink in. Boys...

I realize this is a novel, but I guess I'm making up for being out so long. I had to go pick up my results of the sonogram so I could bring them to my new doctor. On the report it said, extra amniotic fluid, and 2 cysts on my right ovaries. I'm like that's weird, but surely they would have said something to me if they thought it was bad. I call Josh and tell him, and he kind of freaks out, and tells me to call the doctor. I ended up calling his mom, because she is a nurse, so she asks one of the nurse practitioners that she works with. She said the cysts might just be the egg shell left over from when I ovulated, the corpus luteal. I looked on the report, and that's what it said it was. She also said to have extra amniotic fluid doesn't mean it's a bad thing...then she says, are you sure you're not having twins? I'm like, I think they would have seen that. My theory is since I hadn't had my period since June, but didn't get pregnant until August, that I ovulated twice, and that's where the 2 cyst luteal things came from. That's my theory anyway. I've been feeling pretty good, just tired. Still running, just not as far, or as fast. I've gained about 5 lbs. I get pretty cranky and weird when I haven't had food in a while, but what else is new. :) So, that's the update. I go back the 2nd, and will hopefully know more then.
