Almost 10 weeks! I am a slacker-blogger

Saturday will be 10 weeks! I am so thankful every day for this amazing blessing.

I did have a scary spell the past couple days. On Tuesday at work, I started having heart palpitations, so I left early and came home to rest. They continued through the night and even woke me up 5-6 times. I called the doctor first thing Wednesday morning and they had me come in at 10:15. I got there and they checked my pulse - 137! - and you could hear it almost 'skip' a beat sometimes. When that would happen, I would get this uncomfortable flip-flop feeling in my chest. Not pleasant, let me tell you. They sent me downstairs for an EKG & bloodwork. I went right back up to the doc and he said, "This EKG is very, very, very good news." PHEW. Nothing wrong with my heart...apparently this just happens sometimes when women are pregnant. I haven't heard back on the bloodwork yet, but seeing as how it is feeling better today (and didn't wake me up last night) I am thinking I'm okay. The doc told me, "You're going to be okay. You're NOT going to have a heart attack. Your baby is NOT going to have a heart attack." Well actually he said "he" and pointed to my belly...so hmmm...doc know something I don't?? lol

In other news, my first appointment with my midwife is July 15 @ 1:45 and I hope they're planning an ultrasound! I know I will at least get to hear the heartbeat then. I will be 11w4d on that day. :D My hubby says he can't wait to see the next ultrasound. I feel as though everything is still going well in there, seeing as how I'm puking every morning and I LOVE it. I'm so happy when I puke because it reminds me that I'm pregnant...lol

Headed up to Kennebunkport, ME for a day trip tomorrow, can't wait!
