4 Weeks (August 18th - 24th)

The shock that I am actually pregnant still hasn’t completely sunk in. I am afraid to get excited because it is still so early.

I was able to get into the doctor the day of my positive pregnancy tests (8/18/09). They did blood work and confirmed that I was a “smidge” pregnant and that I did indeed have low Progesterone. The nurse told me my level was at a 13.9 and they would like it to be in the 20s. So, I was prescribed Progesterone suppositories 3 times a day (yikes!).

I went back in for more blood work two days later (9/20/09) to see if my levels increased, which they did. The nurse told me that my levels looked "great" and that everything doubled like it should have. She told me to continue with the suppositoies three times a day through the weekend (8/23/09). From then, I will decrease them down to two times a day until my first prenatal appointment.

My first prenatal appointment is scheduled for 9/3/09 at 9:00 am. At thatpoint, I will be approximately 6 Weeks and 2 Days along!


Pregnancy Symptoms So Far:
*Heightened Sense of Smell (extreme!)
Sore Ta-Tas
**Changes in Appetite
Tiredness (allthetime)
Minor Cramps/Pulling Sensions/Twinges
Peeing A LOT!!!

*I still have my hyper-sensitive bionic nose. Of all the super powers that I ever wished for, super smell was not one of them! I seriously think I could smell a fart over a mile away right now!

**I am craving Lays Sour Cream and Onion potato chips constantly. I also discovered a love for bean dip (and I don’t even like refried beans)! This week, I took a bite of a regular glazed donut (one of my favs) and it tasted funny (and not a good funny). I guess you won’t have to worry about me at Krispy Kreme for the next 9 months!
