Tomorrow makes 9 weeks!  I am so relieved to have another week down.

Last week I had a bit of a scare.  I had some weird pain in my vulva which really hurt when I walked, but not when I sat or laid down.  I went to the drs the next day and everything was fine - just some round ligament pain.  It seems that because I have fibromyalgia I may feel these normal aches and pains as more significant that the rest of the world. 

So my husband and I finally chose a hospital in which to give birth. I know, we are kind of slow on this one. I suppose I didn't really believe that I was pregnant. Both hospitals we chose have midwives that seem to do the majority of prenatal care. Both my husband and I were feeling kind of funny about this. After all the high tech experiences we have had, why go so low tech now?

Ironically, I didn't have a obgyn before we started this process. I just went to a nurse practitioner for my annual visit and occasional issues that arose. It wasn't until we didn't get pregnant in our first year that we went to an obgyn. We spent about 15/20 minutes with the dr and talked about tests. When our SA came back abnormal he called us at home so we didn't have to come back in and told us to head right to an urologist and RE.

Our next ultrasound is Wednesday which is my husband’s birthday.  I really hope we have good news.  It we get bad news on his birthday he would be so miserable.  – not that any other day would be better.  I am sure everything is going to be fine!  Morning sickness is a sign of a healthy pregnancy right?

I am trying 25 mgs of B-6 right now.  It seems to be helping a little, except with my significant triggers.  The worst is this path to the café at work.  We have tons of geese on campus and there is a crab apple tree near by.  Needless to say they leave lots of presents on the path.  Grosses me out every time!
