My next appointment is on Friday and we'll be able to the heart(s) and determine that we are past the grey zone. I can't wait! That is what I've been waiting for this entire time. I just want to know that my baby is where it should be. Smooth sailing from there.... I hope.
Physically I'm really friggin gassy lol. Not any heartburn, just farting bullets constently. At first I was holding it in all day. Then the next morning it really hurt and I could barely sit down until I let it out. It was actually pretty serious and scarey. Similiar to when my Fallopian tube exploded. So needless to say I'm learning to let loose. lol. It doen't smell and usually pretty quite so I'm lucky in that way. Embarassing.
Emotionally I'm a rollercoaster. Sometimes I cry in the middle of nowhere. Sometimes I get really lovey and Nikki Floats to cloud 9 for the time being while I invade her bubble. Then I get really angry (twice now) and nobody can talk to me. For example when a 3 y/o who isn't being properly supevised creates inky art on my COUCH!! TWICE!! ...... Thanks again to the parents.
Last night Nikki and I went on a tour at the hospital for the the Birthing Center. I'm so glad I'm not due in the next couple months because they have to limit family welcome to join the experience due to a virus that appears every year. I guess both hospitals do that yearly. Anyways the rooms are pretty big and even have a jacuzzi tub in the bathrooms. They DO NOT allow you to give birth in there though :(
I watched a documentory by Ricki Lake called The Business of Being Born. I've always wanted to give birth naturally (without drugs) and now I have the dream of having a midwife. I looked and found one in Billings. They accept credit cards and insurance, but no Medicaid. :) Because I just switched jobs I have no insurance for the next 3 months. So Medicaid is my only option and I have no credit cards. So I don't think I'll be able to do that. That makes me way sad. :(

Finally!!! Pregnant!!!!
I've been so busy with everything that I almost forgot to update everyone. Sunday January 25th at 10am I peed on a ClearBlue Stick and it said "PREGNANT". Yay!!
I was so shocked that it actually said that in almost no time at all. Then I ran to the bedroom and put the stick right in Nikki's face. lol. Poor thing was so out of it... Finally cleared the goop from her eyes and found out that we are going to have a family. We both hugged and cried and hugged and cried. Then threw some clothes on and went to the hospital for the final say so.
Can you believe it took 3 hours to tell me I was pregnant?! I even brought the little stick as proof in case they didn't believe me. lol. They looked at me like I was nuts. Probly am. They determined that I was 4 weeks and 4 days along.
They did a beta test that Sunday that showed 1049. Then Tuesday was 2315 and Thursday was 4577. So my numbers are doubling like they should be which is great. Thursday I also had an ultrasound that showed the amniotic sac and the egg but we can't rule out an ectopic just yet. I'll call on Feb. 2nd to schedule another ultrasound so we can determine the possibility of a full term pregnancy.
Since then I've definately had trouble keeping my belly full. Seems like nothing will stay in there. I've officially quit drinking pepsi and coffee due to the caffeine content. Although I would prefer to completely quit with sodas altogether, I'm not a fan of water so I don't have that many options. So I have to Sprite bottles in the fridge as a 'justincase' plan B.
I can't believe I'm actually going to be a mom!!!
