Update from me!!!

Okay, so I managed to get squeezed in for a doppler check. Everything is fine! The baby's rate was 160ish. It was music to my ears. I started crying on the way home from the appt.

I'm actually going to have to start believing in this pregnancy. In fact I've decided that in the future should any problems or worrys creep into my mind that I'll first lean towards the "everythings fine" train of thought as opposed to the doomsday scenarios that having a previous m/c has provided me thus far. I mean it's just not right that I can't be blissfully happy with this pregnancy like I was with my first before the m/c. So I'm taking back my happiness dang it!! You ladies are going to have to hold me to this new and improved way of thinking though. I'm a trickster and can easily go back to half empty thinking. So be on the look out!

The parenting class was kind of a waste because I didn't learn anything but I did get some blood work done for a smattering of tests. But most importantly (other then the heart rate) I learned that I'm going to love my new clinic.

The clinic is all lady doctors which makes me more comfortable and they are in a great location for me. They are definitely further then my original clinic but they deliver at a high caliber hospital and came highly recommended. I'm practically giddy that I changed doctors. It was so the right thing to do for me.

Dh is the only guy that was at the class. I guess normally women bring their men folk but this time nobody did but me. I think he felt a little dumb but I'm sure he learned something at the class so it wasn't a complete waste. The bummer is that DH learned that I can indeed paint with water based paints as long as their is ventillation. Um, yeah, I'm still not painting the baby's room.

Oh and the cherry on the top is the new clinic is right by a mall. Shopping anyone?

Peggy, that's great news! And great job with starting to think positive. It's a challenge, but I'm definitely trying my best to always think positive. Thanks for updating us!

This was just a parenting class appt. And a heart check because I *used* to be neurotic. My first OB appt is Jun3 13th so Tuesday. I can't wait.

Yay!! More good news!! I know it's so easy to convince yourself something is wrong and get in a panic. I admire your committment to thinking positively because I am too pessimistic myself. I get a little better as the weeks go by, but it's tough sometimes. Thank goodness for the person who invented Dopplers, eh?!

Happy celebrating,
Cassi
