9 weeks and counting

Holy Moly i cant believe there is an itty bitty baby in my belly.....ONE FULL INCH OF BABY to be exact... :) its so exciting, yet so scary at the same time.
Lets start this story from the beginning....
I work in a big office with a bunch of cubicles, SO when one person gets sick-everyone gets sick- so i thought i was coming down with "the crud" so i went to the doctor knowing i have yet to get the flu shot, i don't want to chance it. SO she runs some blood tests to make sure I'm good to go and comes back and says-"your pregnant"-i guess a this point i turn white....and tell her she is in the wrong room :) SHE of course was not and I of course WAS indeed pregnant. How-well we all know HOW you get pregnant but I was on the pill. Still taking it at the time of the appointment. SO she tells me that the pill that i am on -seasonal- brings the risk of having a baby to 1 out of 6. Seems kind of high if you ask me, and they don't tell you that when you start it. It says 99.9% effective, like any other birth control you take or use.
Here i am, that .1%...GREAT :)
There have been MANY ups and downs to this pregnancy already. My Hcg Levels have not doubled every 48 hours like they want them to, but they do still continue to rise. Ive had a couple ultrasounds, one more this Friday :) I love getting to see the Bebe. its scary when you've never been pregnant before and you have no idea why they do the tests or what the tests even are. I had a little run in with my clinic last Monday. I got a phone call from the office manager....YES OFFICE MANAGER. she calls and ask that i call her back so I do. She asks how I'm doing, all the normal small talk before the conversation goes to this-
OM(office manager)-Well i just wanted to call and tell you there is no baby
Me-Um excuse me?
OM-We need to schedule an ultrasound within the next couple of days
Me-I just had one on Friday, AFTER my blood tests and I saw the baby AND the heart beat
OM- You did?
Me- YES YOU SCHEDULED IT!
OM-oh i will have to call you back- and she hangs up on me.
I'm sorry, you don't tell someone that there IS no baby and then hang up on them. Is this NOT a conversation you have with your doctor in the doctors office??
So i called and bitched about her to another person and i have yet to hear from her since :) she is not a nice lady and she is TOTALLY mono-tone so you hate to talk to her because she has no emotion!
SO other than that fun part, oh and the fact that I'm covered in spots where they have poked me for blood everything has been going smooth. The morning sickness has been OK, not great but livable. Its mostly ALL day sickness where i feel like I'm going to hurl all over the place but i never do. its great ;) Ive already started to decorate the nursery :) its so much fun!! I'm glad we got our house when we did because little did we know we were already pregnant- SCARY
OK that's all for now :) i just figured i better make SOME sort of post!
