Hey there,
We are currently 8weeks 4 days along and everything is progressing normally. Since last time I blogged I have been prescribed a few new meds and found out that I am anemic and vitamin D deficient. My daily regimen of meds is Lovenox, Metformin 2x, Metenx, Iron supplements 2x, Vitamin D and Prenatals. I have to say I am not a pill person so this has been tough trying to remember to take numerous pills at different times throughout the day. The shots have definitely gotten better. The burning is not as bad and the bruising is almost non existent...thank goodness. The nurse today did mention the possibility of a cerclage in the future as a precautionary and that scares the crap out of me. It is not set in stone as of yet, but if I am going to have one, this is the doctor to do it. So, praying we don't need one. I can deal with one less thing to have to worry about.
This pregnancy so far has been so different from my last. Maybe I am having girls, lol. I have a very low appetite and I am not able to keep much down. I would describe it as a constant hangover everyday. Hopefully, the second trimester will be better :)
At our appt today they saw I have a small blood clot which was the reason for a little bit of spotting last week, but nothing to worry about. I am RH- http://www.justmommies.com/articles/rh_negative.shtml so I will have to go back tomorrow to get the shot that will prevent my blood and the babies blood from mixing. On a good note, they were squirming all around in there. They are directly side by side and the heartbeats were around 171bpm :)
We finally found an OB that will take our insurance and delivers at Methodist hospital. We have been trying to find an ob that does both for almost 4 weeks now. We have been told numerous times to contact our local congressman because it is a total outrage how many doctors in this area do not take the military insurance. We just found out that our fertility doctor will no longer be taking our military insurance as well and we were his last patients with Tricare :(
Thanks for checking in :)

Well, it has been a hot minute since I last posted...2018. After I had Mason and Maddox it was hard for me to write. Not only was I super b...
Thanks for the update! I am very excited for you, and hope that the low appetite and troubles keeping everything in are good signs of a strong pregnancy. I have two friends who have had the cerclage and they made it full-term, so while I hope you don't need it if you do it's a good thing. :) I'm sorry for your insurance woes, that is crap. It seems we really do a lousy job of caring for military families in this country. Shameful. Anyway, just popping in because I was thrilled to see an update and glad all is moving right along!
