There's No Place Like Home

Hi everyone!

Well, I just arrived back from Rocky Point, Mexico which is only about 4 hours away from Phoenix. The resort we stay at is absolutely beautiful. Here is a pic of me standing out on the beach in front of our hotel.As you can see, its absolutely beautiful. We spent 3 nights there. However, there is nothing like coming home and being back in your own country. I love experiencing different cultures and traveling. If anything, it has made me appreciate the things I have and makes me remember how lucky I am to be born in this country. It's nice to come back to a place where people speak your language (although many people do speak English in Mexico) and you know when you order a cheeseburger, it will be a cheeseburger your eating. I ordered a cheeseburger in Africca one time.....I don't know what the heck it was but it did not taste anything like a cheeseburger.

I think that if a person gets the privilege to travel to another country then they should take advantage of that. Its a wonderful learning experience and its very interesting to see how other people live.

Here is the proof I am pregnant.

Yes I know 4 pregnancy tests are a little extreme, but just wanted to make sure. I took another one 3 days later too :) I guess because I'm still so early its hard to believe that I am actually pregnant. Here is a picture of me at 5 1/2 weeks. Obviously you can't tell I am pregnant but I wanted to remember what I look like with all the weight I have recently lost so I can keep this picture in mind as my goal for post baby :)

My ob gyn practice that I have been going too is "dissolving". I have asked quite a few people left about the only ob gyn that is left at the practive and people tell me that the guy is a big jerk and not to go to him. So Tony and I are switching to a different practice and will have our first ultra sound on March 23. We do not want to wait that long but I also don't want to be stuck with a doctor that I can't stand for 9 months either. I did get my first set of labs back from my appointment with the medical tech and I am healthy as a horse. We are upset because they refused to check my hcg level to confirm my pregnancy and so we woud know exactly how far along we are so we are still going by what they are estimating right now I will be 6 weeks tomorrow. I am feeling very tired still. I have some cramping which scares me a bit but the triage nurse at my new practice says this is normal as long as there is no bleeding or spotting. So far so good.
