Last week I went to my fifth visit and it went by fast. We just did what we had to do and he answered some questions and asked me about how it went with the specialist and then that pretty much wrapped it up.
I got weighed, measured, and they took my blood pressure like normal.
We listen to the babys heart beat every time to make sure the baby is doing good and he has a normal heart beat.
In all honesty this whole high blood pressure scares me. The more I read and learn about it the more scared I become. All I want is to hold my baby and make sure that he is healthy and strong. I want to make it without too many complications but it feels like I just have to go through this medication and I have to be checked out by a specialist, which for some reason makes me nervous and scared.
I need to just be stronger and remember that no matter what the Savior is there to listen and help us. I know it'll all work out like it's suppose to.
I am very gratefull for the opportunity to be pregnant and to have the family and friends that I have. I am so excited and apart from these little trials I am facing I am counting my blessings and trying to remain calm. I love my husband for helping me so much. I dont know what I'd do without him.

Favorite OB visit
Chris and I went to our third OB visit and it was such a good one.
It started out normal. She weighed me, she took my blood pressure and then she took out this device thing and said we were going to listen to the babys heart. It was so amazing and every time I go to our doctor it feels more and more real. It was a very precious moment to hear that cute little heart beat that's inside my stomach. :) I can assure you that Chris and I are very proud parents. Then, after hearing Rudd baby's heart the doctor came in and I asked him three questions.. Which I had to keep saying out loud to Chris so that I wouldn't forget.
1. Can I get a doctors note so that I can finish my dental work before my last cavity gets worse?
He said yes of course and gave me the letter.
2. When will we find out what we're having? When will that appointment be?
He told us that he usually likes to do it around 18 weeks so since im on week 13 we scheduled the next OB appointment to five weeks from yesterday. :D That'll be the date we find out the sex. Thank goodness because I can't wait any longer. I don't know how people wait the entire 9 months- yeah no thank you I like taking advantage of technology. I believe it's for some people but defidently not for me. '
3. Dr I have this rash on the sides of my stomach is there something wrong with me?
He said no and that it's okay because it probably has something to do with the extra hormones in my body. He just said to take some benadryl and put some soothing cream (I forget what it's called but we bought it last night).
I got all my questions answered and everything is looking good. The babys healthy Im getting better and the good news is I'm a third of the way done. HIP HIP HOORAY.
I'll be posting in about five weeks, right before Thanksgiving what I'll be having. We are so excited and can't wait.

OB visit number 2
On week number 8 we had the opportunity to go to the OB. This was Chris first time and I was very excited for him to meet the doctor and be with me. I could see that he was a little uncomfortable because he had never been before and didn't know what to expect.
On this visit we had another ultrasound to make sure the baby was moving right along and his predictions of how far I was were correct. He said that I was doing good and the baby looked so much bigger compared to that tiny dot at five weeks. I could actually see a little head with a little body. I can tell this baby is going to be so cute already ! Another fun thing we got to do was he showed us the heart beating on the ultrasound and it just filled my heart with so much joy. That's the neatest thing I've seen so far the heart beating on the screen. <3 He gave us ultrasound number two and I have saved in my pregnancy packet they gave me.
I had my blood work done, and I peed in a cup. FUN FUN!!! Our next appointment will be in the middle of October and I can't wait to see how much this baby has grown in five weeks.
we love this baby so much words can't express the excitment running in our minds every day. Love you baby.

Next week
In my opinion I will be going on 8 weeks which equals 2 months!!! So i'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping to be close to my calculations. I read symptoms and from what I remember of the cycle business that sounds about right. I hope it's true and if it is im going to celebrate and have a party!
But really I am praying and praying to have a healthy and good pregnancy. Sometimes I think I should've waited to tell people but you know what it's my life and I can do what I want. I will tell who and when I want, with the input of my husband of course.
On Tuesday I have my first appointment with my OBGYN his name is Dr. Tutt. I am so excited, nervous, and happy about it. I just want to fast forward for it to be Tuesday already. I will update my blog as soon as I get on a computer. I am going to write everything down. I have so many questions and I want to hear what the doctor says.
I still can't believe Im pregnant sometimes. I doubt me being pregnant for reals. I dont know why my head messes with me. I just dont want for anything to go wrong. I want to get the first three months out of the way. Everyone and books say that they're the most important so I am trying to be very good about all the small and big things. I wonder if anyone worries as much as me?
One more thing about the first couple weeks. I am so emotional! I have never been so sensative than this. I am so delicate and picky about things recently.
Here are the two best examples as of lately:
1. I cried because I was overwhelmed about some idiot using my card and going on a shopping spree. THANKS JERK! You made a pregnant woman so pissed that she wanted to come to your house and punch you. This made my account negative for about 6 days. I hope you get caught.
2. This last Sunday we were about to go to church and my car wouldnt start. GREATTT!! Who doesnt love car troubles on a hot sunny day. We had to buy a new battery when we have 209403820843 million other things to pay. I hate how that happens.
No doubt in my mind that last weekend I felt like the ADVERSARY working so hard to break us down. To try and bring us down and make us feel like we couldnt do it. Like your stuck and you cant get up. Even though they're small things sometimes they seem big. I've realized that once something good comes along you are tempted (or at least I feel like I am ) to feel down . Satan knows that we are happy and are doing what's right and he wants to break that. He doesn't want us to be happy but on the other hand you have the worlds best shield *HEAVENLY FATHER & HOLY SPIRIT* so I decided we need to step it up and be strong. We need to pray even more and read more. We will do just that. I want to be ready and keep the adversry as far away from my home as possible.
Baby baby I will do whatever it takes for you, we have only found out two weeks ago and we already want you to be here. I want to fast forward and hold you. We love you and I can't wait to meet you. I know the Lord gave us the oppurtunity to get pregnant at the perfect time with the perfect baby.
I am feeling so much better today. I made it through this rough rough week and it's almost the weekend and who doesnt love that?
