Okay.. we are expecting

Okay.... We are pregnant again. I got my BFP on May 23rd. I took another test on that following Sunday or Monday morning. The only reason I tested was because I was having cramps on my right side and it reminded me when I was pregnant the first time. Jeff and I werent trying. We were going to wait a month.. only because I wanted to lose the weight I gained from my first pregnancy. Oh well. I guess God wanted us to be pregnant again. =) I am so excited yet so nervous at the same time. I try to go on about my day not thinking about it. I dont want to get our hopes up and then lose another baby. And if I do... I know I will be even more pissed off. I am not sure if I would want to try again. But hopefully this time will stick. As for my pregnancy, dr's are going keep an eye on me. I called first thing on Tuesday morning to let them know that I was pregnant again. I went in for blood work that day.
Test results were: Betas 392
Progesterone: 38.2
I went in again on the that following Thursday for blood work.
Test results were: Betas 1200
The dr was pleased with the results. So she said we could come in on June 6th for U/S for Jeff and I decided to wait. We are already going in early. We have a 6 week appointment on June 12th. I figured I could wait but I dont think I can. I am going out of my mind. I am always checking my symptoms to make sure I am still pregnant.
Always checking when I go to the bathroom for blood. Having a miscarriage definitely takes away from the excitement of a new pregnancy. I dont know how offen the drs will have me come in. They consider me high risk yet at the same time, I am not. It doesn't make sense. I know.. I dont understand it either. The dr mentioned me coming in every week if I wanted to hear the heart beat. But since its a long drive, Jeff and I are going to buy one of those dopplers so we can hear the heartbeat every week at home.
So ... only symptoms I have are that I am tired, thirsty and I have cramps. My boobs arent sore like last time. Hopefully next week, they should start hurting. Otherwise, I am feeling great. Oh, on Sunday I was nauseous all day but thats it for sickness!! Of course I would rather be sick than have another miscarriage.
