Every day I'm amazed that I'm pregnant!

So I'm 11 1/2 weeks now, just had another OB appointment and US. I swear, I still can't believe I'm pregnant! I mean, I feel truly pregnant, and in my mind I know I am. But I guess, after 12 years of trying and waiting, it just feels too good to be true. Every day or so I say to DH "Guess what... I'm pregnant." It's a silly little joke to him, makes him roll his eyes or grunt, but I swear, I have to convince myself every single day! I keep waiting for something to go wrong, and when everything seems to go smoothly I think that maybe something horrible will show up at the next OB appt...

Today is wonderful, though. I took my 12yo DD, my little coach, to the OB appt and she held my hand while we watched the ultrasound. It was so awesome to sit there with her! (Even though I had just chugged the glucose crap and felt torn between the desire to puke and the need to pee.)

they made you do the glucose???

it is amazing to be pregnant.  this is my 3rd and seems to be going so fast.  I get to see bean again next week.

congrats!

Yep. Didn't make me feel dump-y, but there was some mis-communication about when to drink the crap (when I double-checked yesterday they told me to bring it with and drink it in the waiting room, but when I got there today they were shocked that I hadn't started it yet!) so I had to sort-of chug, which was really unpleasant. And then lie there for the US before I got to pee... Always fun! LOL!

well I"m glad it didn't make you dump.

I won't be drinking it.  I already told them no way...no how!

I wont be drinking it either. They are referring me to a FMM doctor I think they said. I feell the same way since I am not showing and not feeling very pregnant. I dont feel the baby and no sick anymore just tired all the time. I feel the same way you do so be proud and happy!!

Just curious but why did they make you do the glucose drink so early???

Glad you appt. went well and that your daughter was able to be there with you! That is so sweet!!

Beth,
I have to have it done early also. I have major family history with diabetes. I'm guessing that is the same for her.  So I do it at 11 weeks and 28 weeks.

I did mine early with Kaida. once at 10 weeks and again at 28.  but it was because I was over 300 lbs.

I don't have family history of diabetes, but I think in this doc's office it's SOP for once-obese patients. So, yep, once at 11 wks and again later. Yippee!  

I feel exactly the same as hubby and I have tried for 9+ years to get pregnant.  It was awesome to get it on our 10th anniversary though but I turn to him and say the same thing all the time.  He is so cute he gets so emotional about it at times, but he's a softy.  I have yet to even see or hear my baby (appt June 9th) but hubby is already arranging to be at this one (though it's just with a nurse so I dunno what will be done) and the 10 week one with the Dr.  Is this real?
