Due Date?

Since this is a pregnancy blog, there should be a ticker somewhere, right? Well, my due date is currently not calculated. My last period started October 2, 2009. On November 2 I tested positive with a brilliant double pink line. That day I left for vacation with my son and on Sunday, November 8 we came down with swine flu. My fever was so high that I miscarried (a blessing, really, I wouldn't want to spend an entire pregnancy worrying that I had caused brain damage to my fetus) on November 11. On December 12 I had the faintest of double lines. Actually, I didn't see it, my inquisitive husband pulled what I thought was the negative test out of the trash and saw the line. (Kudos to my husband for not being squeamish about a pee stick, or pretty much anything birth-related) We have been cautiously excited ever since. My first midwife appointment was on December 22 where I had really good HCG levels, so the caution is letting up a little bit. But every time I feel a twinge in my uterus or I feel some fluids, I get a little nervous. However, my nausea is starting to kick in big time, so that's a great sign, right? Tomorrow is my dating ultrasound where I'll see the baby's heartbeat. That should give me a lot more peace of mind. And I'll have a picture for tomorrow's post!
