It's Official...and other stuff....:)

We had another doctor appointment today and ultrasound! It was very exciting! I saw the heart beat!!!! Just a little flutter from the dot within my uterus...but it's there! According to the doc, I am 6 weeks and 1 day along and my due date is August 7, 2008. Yeah!
I had to take all the blood tests today (like 6-7 tubes). When I did this with Alyson, I just about fainted (saw spots and got extremly light-headed and couldn't see). So, when I went up to the guy today, I told him what happened to me last time just to warn him in case it happens again he is prepared. Well...he got all up on his high horse and said it was all in my mind and now I'm setting myself up to actually faint because I'm already expecting it. He moved me into the room with the bed and I layed down and proceeded to argue with him for the next 5 minutes....and it was done...no fainting. I think that's a good tactic for them to piss off the pregnant woman and get her mad so she's not thinking about the blood they are taking from my body...maybe he is right about it being all in my mind? hmm...anyway, no fainting. I had to do the urine test and the drinking of the sugar soda testing for gestational diabetes. Well, I just got some test results posted to my kaiser sign on....looks like my urine is high for glucose and high for protein. I am fearful that I may have gestational diabetes. I have a few of the risk factors (Large first baby over 9 lbs., overweight, over 25). I emailed my doc to see what it means and what the next steps are. I think I may have to go in for a longer test to confirm that. We'll see....positive thoughts, right?!!!

On the school front...I'm almost DONE! I just finished my 16 page research paper for my Accounting class (due tomorrow...whew!). My group and I are almost done with our Research project for the Business Statistics class..and that Final is this Saturday morning at 8 a.m...yuck! I have to schedule my accounting final at the Consumnes River College (in Elk Grove) Lab sometime between now and next week. And, my Econ final is next Wednesday. ALMOST DONE!! I am enrolled for next semester...2 online classes and one that I go to once per week.

O.k....done for the night...I'm tired now. Off to bed!
