Everything Is Normal!
Today I went to the doctor and everything came out normal. I had lots of pics taken and here are some of the ones she gave me. They are not very easy to see but you get the idea.
This is Baby's head. Can you see baby's nose ?
This one you have to look real close. This is his whole body. His head. 2 arms, 2 legs, and it almost looks like he's sucking his thumb.

If you want to look closer, you might be able to copy the pictures on to your computer so that you can zoom in to take a better look.

My second doctors apt!
Yesterday we had a doctors apt at 4:00pm. I am not sure if I have mentioned in my other posts, but Jamie changed departments at work. He went from building awnings to installing them. Which is not a promotion to say the least. He went from working in the shop, to working in 95 degree weather, and in Florida its not pretty out side. Another bummer about switching departments is that he never knows when he is going to get off work. Well, when we make the apt a month ago we thought 4:00pm would be perfect, since he usually got off at 3:00pm. As you know, Jamie wasn't able to make it to the ultra sound I had last month, so I really wanted him to be there for this doctors apt.
So, yesterday after I got off work I realized that I did not get a phone call from the doctors office confirming my apt, so I called an hour before my apt to make sure they had me down, and they proceeded to tell me that my apt. might be delayed because someone had gone into labor and was ready to give birth. (which meant the doctor had to leave the office for about 45 mins.) But the receptionist never did confirm my apt. I got to the doctors office 20 minutes early (I still hadn't heard from Jamie and if was going to be able to make it or not) and upon checking in, they could not find my name in the computer. So, I took a seat in the waiting room until they figured out if they could fit me in. Then she called me up and said it was fine and the doc would still see me. So I waited.
Jamie finally called me at 4:10pm and said he was on his way. He got there 10 minutes before we were called back. (Thanks God!! Jamie would have missed the coolest thing ever if that woman hadn't given birth and the doctor running late. The coolest thing ever you ask..... keep reading) We were taken back to the room, but before that, my weight was taken and I have gained 2 pounds, which is really good considering how sick I have been. When we got to the room we didn't have to wait long before the doc came in. He looked over my folder and told me all about my test results, which all came back wonderful (except the thyroid which is already taken care of) and then..... The Doppler. This little microphone with a speaker on the other end. Doc told me to lay down and then he lubed up my belly. He started moving the mic around to find the heart beat... nothing. The room was filling with panic, though nothing was said, fear was so thick you could cut it. He kept searching, then he went a little higher and.... we heard it. Thump thump, thump thump, our babies heart beat. I immediately teared up and I looked over at Jamie and his face was as red as a lobster and he was teary eyed. His foot was going a mile an hour and he said, "that's so cool!" (For those of you who don't know Jamie when he gets nerves or board he shakes his leg) Thanks God. I think that every human on this planet earth that experiences creation has to admit that it is a miracle.
Our chances of having a miscarriage at this point are slim. We will be 12 weeks on Friday and doc said we are looking really good. This was a big hurdle for me, hearing the heart beat. I feel like I can start to get excited now. Where before I lived in fear. I have never made it this far in my previous pregnancies, and didn't think I deserved to have this one.
Thank you God. Thank you that I am able to have children.
I also think that I am beginning to feel better. Day by day, little by little. I think that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Symptoms in the 10th week
I have my second doctors apt this Tuesday. At my first doc apt we found out I have hypothyroidism, and I got a prescription to start taking. I now have to go see that special doc every month for a couple of months and then monthly after the baby. I also see my obgyn every month and this month I go in for another test on the 19Th. So needless to say we are seeing lots of docs now.
Symptoms so far,
Big boosums
Tired
Nausea/getting sick
bloadedness
Constipation
crying (moodiness but this seems to be the most obvious one)
depression

Going on week 11
Well, I am sure you know that when some one stops blogging for a while it can mean 2 things. 1. your really busy or 2 life isn't going the way you would like it to and the last thing you want to do is write about it. For me its been number 2.
Life.... Well, I could put a mask on, like I do at work, and smile and say things are great. Why wouldn't they be; right? I am a newly wed, (to the best man on this planet earth) pregnant with my first child and we just bought a house! What more could a girl ask for. This moment is what we look forward to our whole lives and yet I seem to be depressed all the time. I am constantly tired and sick, I hardly ever see my husband and when I do we usually have something to go to (church, small group, friends house), all my energy goes into work, and my relationship with God is none existent. Now, I tell myself about all the good things I have and not to be hard on myself but the reality is... it doesn't make it any better, the depression that is. I don't ever think about taking my own life or doing anything stupid, but I often just lay on the couch with no desire to do anything. I don't want to call anybody, see anybody, read my bible, journal, blog, clean. Nothing. I want to sit there and stare at the wall or the TV. I keep holding on to the Hope that it will get better in a couple weeks, after the first trimester is over, but the truth is I need to get back right with God. It seems that ever since I have gotten married I have put God aside. Jamie is who I go to with everything and just recently realized that I can not put the expectation of God on Jamie. The problem is.... how. How do I get what I once had with God back? Or do I not compair to what I once had and start fresh? What do I do? I realize that I am lonely, empty, faithless, the problem is I don't know how to get back. Some people say read. Read a chapter of the bible a day. But then I think back to when I first became a Christ follower and I read the bible when I wanted and didn't feel like I had to read every day. And I was on top of the world. How do I go back to that? Or do I ever.
So for those of you who believe that there is a God, can you pray for me? I need help, and I think He is the only one that can help.
For those of you who don't believe, I am sorry to bore you, but I think it might be good for you to see that a relationship with our creator isn't all calm waters on a cruise ship, but rather there are points with God that I feel I am in the middle of a storm on a battle ship.
