Well after feeling pretty bad this week and losing weight and a huge push from Troy- we decided to go to the hospital to get some medications. The hospitals here are fully functional hospital and clinics, so we just walked in and got to see a doctor. Luckily we had already been to this hospital -2yrs ago when I got sick. So we didn't have to do all the paper work again! We walked in and in 5 min had a doctor sitting in front of us! While there we also got to see our little bean via ultrasound.
First and foremost-yes there is only one!!!!!! The little guy has a heartrate of 176 beats per minute. Perfect. Looks like a gummy bear to me-but that the snack I wanted so I was thinking gummy bears before we even went in. They gave me some nice IV anti-nausea meds (zofran) and a dose of IV Vit B. And sent me home with Reglan and Zofran!! Today I felt great after the hospital...I ate a ton! Well here is what you have been waiting to see....

Since I have been taking prenatal vitamins my nails have gotten stronger/longer/whiter, my hair is looking shiner, my skin has improved! I may just take these things forever, its worth the price. I am taking New Chapter Organics Perfect Prenatal and Nordic Naturals Prenatal DHA....and wow am I loving them! Here is a picture of my nails, they will be perfect for weekly manicures while in Thailand.

And here is my second OPK for this cycle...i will keeping adding them so you can watch the progression. Its still negative.

Today I had my first appointment with the West Suburban Midwife Association. I had scheduled an appointment with Gayle but she was tied up with stuff so instead I met with Julie. We had an almost 2 hour appointment. Talked about tons of stuff and went over the normal things to do and not to do. Got my pap and some blood work drawn-nothing all that exciting. I did manage to put on about 9 lbs since getting to the states about 2 weeks ago....LOL Vegas and all the American food caught up quick. Afterwards I got my New Chapter Prenatal Vitamins, Prenatal DHA, and some other organic/natural supplements for common pregnancy issues at Whole Foods....LOVE that store.
