Seven Weeks!

I am seven weeks! Today it actually hit me: I am having a baby!!! I feel good and I am confident, I love it. I let the worry just float away and I feel good. I am not constantly panicking if this pain is all right and if that twinge is bad. When I do feel funny I take a step back and realize what is the most likely cause, not the worst case scenario. The nausea has been getting more persistent though, it is constantly around dinner, probably from around 4 - 6:30 and then I start to feel better. Two and half hours out of twenty four ain't bad!! Plus those preggie pops really do make me feel better!

I am also getting excited because we are going to Lake George on the 19th, after Matt's softball playoff game. It will be nice to bring the doggies up and to take Riley for her first lake swim. We are going to go to the black hole. It is this really neat natural wonder in this little creek. A long time ago a pebble burrowed into a rock and created this natural jacuzzi. I won't be climbing in there but there are all these flat rocks that will be nice to picnic on. We are also going to go to Log Bay. We will park the boat and take a nice little walk in the woods to this really cool waterfall. I won't be able to go waterskiing or cliff jump, but I will do some fun things!

I just am so excited in general, I don't know how else to explain. I have my appointment next week, then I have a week of vacation, and then back to school!! I am really excited for school, I am looking forward to getting my clinicals. I also have to go and get my drug test and send in all the paperwork by the 15th!

Oh, I wanted to put in another side note. I got an email from Karen, the paralegal. They got a hold of the expert in TX, but she wouldn't be able to review our records until Oct-Nov, so they are searching for another expert. I really think we have a case because I honestly don't believe that they would be going through all of this effort if we didn't. Plus it seems like they are trying to get a roll on things because frankly October is not that far away, but they want someone to check it sooner. I really think they are going to take my old doctor to court, why spend all the time, effort, and money (and it is all out of their pocket unless we win) to pursue a case if it didn't have merit and a good chance of winning. Just a thought...
