Pregnant

Another reason I want to do this blog is to track my pregnancy. It's so hard to keep a secret, so I thought maybe writing about it would help. I plan to keep this blog a secret until I announce the pregnancy, and then everyone can be caught up on these events.

A couple weeks ago I thought I felt baby movement. I went to the doctor, and they did a blood test. My horomone level was a 6. Five is not pregnant, but there really shouldn't be a reason for it to be even a 1 without some sort of pregnancy. They told me to come back in a couple days to have it tested again. At that time they should be able to tell if it's a miscarriage or a pregnancy. Well, I went back 6 days ago and the result from that test was a 75. They think that for some reason my uteris was already making room for baby and that was the movement I was feeling. I went back today for a 3rd test, and will get the results on Monday. They say that if the numbers jump up well again then they won't have me come back till I am about 6-8wks along. Right now it looks like the due date is November 21st.

I am already showing because I've had 2 miscarriages in the last 7 months. The last one was in January so my body hasn't gone back down since then. I'm already having to wear maternity clothes. We leave for a trip to Oregon in 4 days. I have no idea how in the world I am going to hide this. I think I am going to just have to try to squeeze into my normal pants for the few days we are there. We really don't want to announce this to the world yet in case we miscarry again.
