Since the ultrasound was normal, we just have to sit back and wait until my first doctors appointment, scheduled for Monday, May 3rd.
So far, 9 weeks in, it's been a pretty simple pregnancy. Aside the typical aches & pains, countless trips to the bathroom to pee and occassional nausea (I haven't puked yet!)I really can't complain.

Closing Curves :(
After finding out I was pregnant, Darren & I had a week in Jamaica to talk about things. It was definitely the hardest decision I ever had to make in my life, but one that was necessary. I had to think with my mind and not with my heart. I'm very lucky to have a wonderful and understanding husband who wants me to have a stress free pregnancy and to be home with the baby.
Monday, April 12th, one of the hardest days of my life, I announced to my Curves ladies we would be closing the doors on Friday, April 16th, for the obvious reason being, a baby on the way! Everyone was very understanding and supportive of my decision and I can't thank everyone enough for that!
THANK YOU AGAIN FOR 7.5 WONDERFUL YEARS!!!

Good News
After returning home from Jamaica, on April 7th, we went in for a 6 week ultrasound. Darren had the day off work, so he was able to go with me. After what happened last time, of course we were nervous.
The Ultrasound Technician can't say much, but she was able to tell us there was ONE fetus that was measuring 6 weeks and 4 days (1 day off of my calculation) and there was a heartbeat! We were'nt able to hear it, due to the kind of test she used, but we were able to see the flicker. The heartbeat measured 116! Darren's first question was, "is that normal"? Again, the tech can't say much, but being I had done my homework before going, I knew it should measure between 100-150, and I answered his question.
The old wives tale is... lower heartbeat means a boy, which of course made Darren & I happy. We would like a boy since we already have 2 girls, but as long as the baby is healthy, that is all that matters!

Jamaica
I was a bit skeptical leaving the country, being pregnant, but the trip was booked and non-refundable. I figured if I was going to be sick, I'd rather be in warm, sunny Jamaica, then home. Luckily, I didn't get sick and had a wonderful time!
We stayed at the RIU in Ochos Rio, which happened to be right next door to Sandals where we got married 2 years ago.
One day, we decided to walk over to Sandals. We thought it would be neat to take a picture on the beach where we got married. To our surprise, things really changed in 2 years, and not for the best. The resort was run down and closing in a month and the ocean had destroyed the beach where we were married.

I wasn't allowed to do any motorized watersports, so instead, we went for a tour of Jamaica with a local Rastafarian named Acco. It was interesting to see the real country of Jamaica, not the Jamaica you see at the resorts. Where do you get to see marijuana plants almost as tall as you are?
