Well the lump in my arm pit is just a swollen lymph node. The doc said it looked like nothing to be worried about...just to keep an eye on it and it if gets bigger to have it checked again.
Works for me.
Oh and I got out of the mamo. They just did a scan of my arm pit. No smooshed boobs for me today!
And get this!
I have another sinus infection!
One more week til our next scan.
I'm feeling just fine. I still don't like food and my head feels like it's going to explode but other than that...all is good!

First OB appointment
Thanks for all the m/s remedies. I pretty much tried them all and I'm not so sure they worked but I'm happy to say I'm now feeling better and able to rejoin the world. I still feel a little crappy but the horrible sick feelings and extreme blahness has left. I now have energy to actually do more than just get up, shower and go to work. I can't do much before I get wiped out but it's more than I could accomplish in the first 6-8 weeks.
I noticed that I was feeling a bit better right around 8 weeks and by the next week I was up and about. It actually kind of scared me. I mean I had been so sick for almost 8 weeks and then "poof" I'm all better. It freaked me out but the OB reassured me that it was normal...that its ok for symptoms to ease off around the end of the first trimester. (She better be right)
So we had our first OB appt Friday. Everything went great. They weighed me, which I wasn't too thrilled about :o( but I guess I better used to rising numbers huh? They drew alot of blood, offered me the H1N1 shot, which I accepted, I peed in the cup and was sent to the room to wait for our new OB. (Dr K from the previous visits wasn't available so we had to pick a new one.) Dr P was great. We really liked her. She set our minds at ease and was totally ok with "us". We expressed our fears about another miscarriage and how scared we were due to my symptoms disappearing and guess what she did?! She gave us an unscheduled ultra sound!! We got to see our little flowers BEATING heart again!! Thank GOD! And again, she/he is still measuring a little bit a head of schedule....by one day. So far so good!
Dr P answered our list of questions including one about a swollen gland under my right arm pit. It did the same thing with the twins pregnancy but eventually went away but this one seems to be sticking around longer and it kind of hurts when I rub on deodorant or push on it. So I'll be having a mammogram and pit scan this coming Friday.
Our next ultrasound, the dating or formal scan as Dr P called it is scheduled for November 20. We'll be just over 11 weeks by then. We've never been able to make it past 10 weeks so Lord knows we're praying this scan shows all is well!
After that our next OB visit will be Dec 11...just past 14 weeks.
So far so good!

Baby's first photo
Well, thankfully, as you can see, there's something in there!
Our little flower measured in at 2 days ahead with a healthy heart rate of 159 bpm.
We've been released to our OB.
Our first OB appointment is November 6.
Thank you God!
Oh and if morning sickness is any indication of a healthy baby....then we've got a winner! I feel like crap morning, noon and night! Loving it of course but my word. Ginger ale is my new best friend. Any suggestions to help ease the queasiness would be greatly appreciated.

A quick note...
We had a third beta today. They wanted to see numbers between 3000-7000. It was 7201.
Our first ultrasound is scheduled for October 20. We'll be 6w6d.
I'm doing good. Hungry and tired alot. And trying my best not to read into every little feeling I have. It's hard tho. I've never had a full term pregnancy. I don't know what things are supposed to feel like. The unknown can drive one crazy!!
Oh and I'm sick. I broke down and went to the doc. I've got a sinus and ear infection. After confirming with 3 doctors that amoxicillin was safe to take...I'm now on the med.

Yay for numbers!
After waiting FOREVER (Blood was drawn at 8 am, the office closes at 5 pm) they finally called with the 2nd beta results (at 4:45 pm!)
They wanted to see numbers in the 700s.
We got 947!
WOOT!! WOOT!!
Grow Flower Grow!!
***
Our first ultra sound will be in 2 weeks. I call Monday to make that appointment.

I've heard hormones can make you want to eat crazy things. I can only assume that's why I just had to have this crazy big turkey leg from Busch Gardens?! :o)
