I had my ultrasound and got to see that glorious heartbeat! I am measuring exactly where I knew I would be(a week later than what the drs are using as my due date, but I know my cycles lol).
I keep reminding myself I am seeing student drs and I should be patient with them as they learn. The problem is they want to do every test imaginable, they have already said they will induce me because I have a history of short labors during my homebirths, and they want to put me on anti seizure meds despite a lack of seizures for a considerable amount of time. So I remain patient but firm and try to show them the beauty of a natural process . :)
I am starting to not be as sick,Praise the Lord!!! It still hits hard at night, but I am functioning during the day much better now. My home is clean and organized again, I am cooking creatively again, I even made laundry soap for the first time. It was easy peasy btw, I will definitely keep that up.

I am 7 weeks now. The queasiness is overwhelming. I made my first appt for the 22nd. It will merely be the nurse visit to get history and all, hopefully I will get an actual appt quickly after that. I hate fearing another missed miscarriage, but it is hard to truly give in to excitement and bond with this baby until I Know there is a baby growing. I know that sounds negative, and I am acyually thrilled to be experiencing the symptoms...it just doesn't seem real that I will hold a new wee one in April/May. Be gone negativity!
The goats head weeds are back. It is so rewarding to see it not grow where we weeded last year. If we stay on top of it each year it should get easier and easier.
There have been no showings of the house. I know it only takes one person at the right time, I do not feel discouraged at all. If we stay here so be it. I do yearn for up north though!
The honey bun cake I baked is done and I am so eager to go eat a nice gooey warm piece!
