Looonnnggg Day...

Good Morning.  I hope everybody had a wonderful Easter.  We did!  My Mom is a nurse and it was her Holiday to work, that was the only bad part about our weekend.  My sister and I cooked a feast at her house and we all had a great time.  I need to get better at taking pictures...OMG, you should have seen my niece in her Easter dress...adorable!  She had I had our own little Easter Egg hunt too ;)

I wasn't expecting yesterday to be as emotionally hard on me as it was.  My mom had ordered an Easter Lilly in memory of Nolan and in honor of Kirsten for the altar at church, so sweet.  That combined with it being a Holiday, that would have been his first Easter, the Easter hymns, our stop at the cemetery, I was quite emotional.  I think the added hormones don't help;)

Speaking of added hormones... I feel like I have a hangover every day, all day long.  Not complaining, I will feel like this everyday for the next 33 weeks if I have to.  It still isn't fun, though;)  I have been drinking a LOT of ginger ale.  Not a huge fan of the flavor but, it does help.  Thanks to my sis, for that advise.  I also found it helps to eat something salty in the morning.  Today for breakfast I had, ginger ale, lays potato chips, strawberries, and pineapple.  HA!

So today, 5pm...we get to hear a heartbeat!!!  I am super excited and very nervous.  I am trying soooo hard to be positive, but how can I not think about the last time I was supposed to hear a heartbeat.  A lot of those feelings are re surfacing.  All will be good today, it has to be!!! 

With fertility there is always that little chance of multiples...we will also find that out today, I mean if there is more than 1!!!  Because of the number of follicles I had and some hormone levels I have had tested since conception, lets just say there are a few family members...ok well all of them that even know I am pregnant that are rooting for twins, ha!  Not sure how I feel about that yet!!!  Just a few more hours and we will know!  I'm leaving work at 3 in order to get home, change, meet my husband, and get on the road to our appointment!!!!

Love,
Kari
