Up and down

On Tuesday I passed a small clot and then has a little spotting for the next day. I thought I was going to have no other problems or bleeding after that first time. I am learning it's not just have one scare and you're fine, I now just want to make it through the first trimester, then I'm sure the 2nd and 3rd. I am just looking forward to being through the scariest part. I went in Friday and had blood drawn and that came back at 39,000!! Very high. If something happened to the baby on Tuesday there is no way my levels would be that high on Friday. I had more blood drawn today to make sure it's doubling. I'll know those results tomorrow and then hopefully an ultrasound tomorrow as well. Hearing the heartbeat is much needed right now. And of course we will know exactly how far along I am. I think I am 7 weeks 2 days. We'll see how far off I am. It's funny how the calculate pregnancy. You're considered 2 weeks already at conception, and my miscarriage will be 7 weeks ago tomorrow. So it's funny to say I think I'm 7 weeks and 2 days pregnant. 
My pregnancy symptoms are still going so that's a great sign. I have been super nauseous this past week, Brent says he is happy I feel sick haha, but I agree, it means everything is ok. Exhaustion has been hiting me hard this week too. I barely have gotten up off the couch. When I get up I am light headed and feel like I'm going to puke and I am so tired I can barely keep my eyes open. I am excited for all of this to pass but I am also thankful that I'm not throwing up every few minutes. Another surprising thing has been my hate towards left overs. I have no problem eating a meal once, but if it's been in the fridge I don't even want to look at it. Brent loves having so much extra food around, but I'm struggling to find a full balanced meal. Hopefully my appetite starts to come back. I am glad I will be in the 2nd trimester when we go to the state fair. The food already sounds good. And Troy and Tiffany will be back for a week then. For the most part things are going good. A few ups and downs, but in the end the good outweighs the bad.
