I am so happy to be at the 10 week mark with this pregnancy. I thought for sure that I was going to have another miscarriage. I know that is bad to say, but once you have one, you are not that positive about pregnancies. I couldn’t be more thrilled, although this pregnancy is so much different than when I was pregnant with Xavier. Everyone keeps telling me it is because I am having a girl, but I do not buy into all that talk, I think it just depends on your body and what you are bringing into your body. I know I am sick because I am not getting in a lot of liquids, and the stuff I am getting in at this point is not the healthy food that my body is used to…and I can tell...

Yesterday had to be one of the best days of my life, besides of course having Xavier and getting married. We got to see the heart beat of the new little sparkle, and it was perfect. We are measuring exactly with the days that I thought, we are due January 9th. The heart beat was 164 beats per minute, which is wonderful. I cannot stop smiling.

Can you believe this, once I heard the heart beat my nausea went away and everything! I have been able to eat, drink lots of water and keep everything down! It is soo nice. It is like all my stress disappeared. I feel soo good now.

I got all my questions answered. I had to start my lovenox shots ASAP. I am at a higher risk so I have to take them...

What our baby looks like.

Today marks 8 weeks pregnant for Nikki Craddock! Yes, I am completely excited…but I am also scared that something is going to be wrong when we go for the sonogram on Friday. I just want to know that everything is okay so I can relax a little. I feel like I haven’t relaxed at all this whole pregnancy….that is a full  weeks of stress…that is a lot!

I do have a lot of symptoms though, so that is why I am not too nervous. I figure I would not be as sick and nauseated like I am all the time if something was wrong. I mean, I am throwing up/nauseated all the time. There is no break. I cannot put anything in my mind without wanting to puke. If I do not want to puke, I want to sleep. I am exhausted all the time too...

I seriously have not been more anxious in my life. Next week this time we will know if our little sparkle is okay on the sonogram. If you do not remember we did not see the heart beat last week, we were only in the 5th week, so it is common for that to happen. I cannot take the wait to make sure that he/she is in there and growing okay. I was also measuring a few days off last week which has me concerned also. It is okay though, I know that everything should be okay.

I am not throwing up anymore, but I am feeling sick. I guess that is a good thing. Maybe it isn’t a boy this time and that is why I am feeling different. I guess only time will tell.

Seriously, this is going to be the longest week of my life...

Wow…I am 7 weeks pregnant today, and that feels soo good to be able to say. I am still nervous. I cannot wait until next Friday, the 1st to finally be able to see the heartbeat. Once we see that little sparkle’s heart beat I will be able to sit back and really start to enjoy everything. I have no enjoyed any part of this pregnancy yet, except the fact knowing that I am indeed pregnant. I just want to see the heart beat and be happy.

Next week I will be around 8 weeks 2 days pregnant on the day of the ultra sound. If there isn’t a heart beat then we will know right then and there that I will be having a miscarriage. I feel good about it though, I really think that if I was going to have a miscarriage I would of started bleeding and everything from it already...
