Hello everyone,

I have been MIA because I had a very nasty cold and cough since last tuesday and was out of work on Wednesday. well went to my doctor's appointment on Thursday morning before going into work and baby is measuring right on target-- 9 weeks 6 days. we saw the heartbeat and I got to take home pictures. met with nurse/doctor. everything is progressing normally from what they can see. I asked the nurse if there is anything I should do differently or more cautiously this time to prevent M/C-- and she had to remind me again for the millionth time that the loss I suffered was not my fault and there was nothing I could of done to prevent it and of course I busted out in my tears again. She said being stressed about it is not good for me or my baby or my body and I will not be able to enjoy this pregnancy if I keep thinking of it.................I have to go take some blood tests that I have been delaying. I get two more ultrasounds (already had three so far). the next one will be in two and half weeks and then the big one at 18 weeks. I might go to get one of those 4 D ultrasounds but I am not sure yet. The one in two and half weeks tests baby for chromosomal defects, trisomy and downs. Send prayers my way that baby is healthy.
well, just wanted to update. will update again after next doctors appointment.

hugs,
Monica

Of course you feel crazy worried this time around that something will go wrong.
