We are Pregnant!

Yeah! I just found out today that we are pregnant once again! We are so excited, and scared, nervous and blissful...all at the same time! I have been a little nauseous for the past few days, so this morning I took a test, and it came back positive! Because I have a tendency to have low progesterone levels, I went in to see my doctor today. They did some bloodwork, and put me on progesterone just to be safe. My level was actually 19.6, which is way higher than I have ever had before. However, they like to see a number over 20, so because of my history, I will have to take progesterone supplements for the first 16 weeks or so.

My nurse was new, and really sweet. She told me that if I am nauseous, I just need to try and eat a little every 1-2 hours, and make sure I am drinking plenty. This is great advice for anyone with morning sickness, but HG is clearly not just morning sickness. Thankfully my doctor understands the difference. This will be our first full pregnancy with our new doctor, and I am hopeful that once the HG hits full force, I will be able to do more home health care, and therefore avoid all of the ER trips and maybe get by with only a few hospital stays. Until then, I will just take it day by day, and give thanks for every day that the Lord gives me with this child.
