We had our second ultrasound and visited Dr. Cantu today. The ultrasound confirmed we are roughly 8 weeks and one day! The baby has a heartrate of 165 to 170 beats per minute. The heartrate was very reassuring for us considering that we have had 2 miscarriages in 2008. Seeing and hearing the heart beating strong means that we have a better than average chance that the pregnancy will make it through the first trimester. Jason and I are obviously very excited. Morning sickness comes at different parts of the day and sometimes all day long! Working at my job has been difficult during some of these spells...walking into a room with a child who has been vomiting and having diarrhea for the past few days...and then the mom wants to show me the diaper...challenging is the only word to describe these spells. No one explained to me some of the weird dreams that come with pregnancy either. I have had dreams of a tugboat losing newspapers off its cargo load (we recycled newspapers that day), a squirrel tail touching my lips (I woke up to a bed sheet near my lips), and a dream where I am making a cucumber and yellow bellpepper salad (I awoke to major heartburn). Hopefully the pregnancy will continue to be healthy! Dr. Cantu has started me on Prilosec to help with my heartburn and Prometrium (progesterone) to help my endometrial lining for the next few weeks to hopefully decrease the chance of a miscarriage. Please keep us in your prayers.
