Missing Spencer....

results.

Just got the results back from the culture that I did at my OB's. Everything is normal. I don't have a yeast infection. Woohoo! I've been wondering what all the discharges that I've been having were. I freaked out and thought I was having a yeast infection and been gulping down yogurt drinks daily. Now I can ease up on those especially since I purchased some probiotic pills today. Anything to keep the infections away.

First visit to OB.

I saw my OBGYN on Thurs. He said everything looks fine, but he told me that I'm only 7 weeks along so far. I thought I was 8 weeks. The counter I downloaded says 8 weeks but he checked and he said I'm only 7 weeks. Oh wells. As long as I carry this baby to full term I can care less about the one week difference.

Chinese Lunar Calendar predictor.



I checked up the Chinese Lunar Calendar today and it predicted the new baby to be a girl. Well, I'm not going to take it too seriously since it predicted Spencer to be a girl and he turned out to be a boy. It would be nice if we can have another boy but I'm happy as long as he or she's healthy.
Also, I saw my dentist again today to get rid of a little cavity on a back tooth. It was very painless. I'm all done with dental works. Yippee!!

Back from the dentist.

Okay, it wasn't as bad as I thought it'll be so I'm glad that I went. I did have alot of plaque and tar buildup. He sure worked hard on my teeth today. It took an hour and a half but he did a great job. I promise to floss daily and to go back for followups. I do have to go back tomorrow because he found some cavities on one tooth that's not too major.
It kills me to think that I might have brought on Spencer's death because of gingivitis that I could have prevented. I hate myself sometimes.

First checkup at 7 weeks.

I saw a new perinatologist last Friday who came highly recommended. He does the most cerclages in the valley. I got a good vibe from him. He answered all my questions and gave me a proactive plan for my current pregnancy. One of the key things that I have to do is to get my teeth cleaned. He's worried that about gingivitis which may lead to in infections. He thinks that I PPROMed with Spencer because of an infection. So, today, at 10 AM I'm going in to see a dentist to have my teeth cleaned. Boy am I nervous. I haven't seen a dentist in years, and I'm leaning towards over a decade. That's pretty bad. I'm willing to do anything to make sure that I don't loose this child so if I have to see a dentist, I'll do it. Other things that I have to do is to change my diet drastically. I tested for a yeast infection and we're going to try to clear that up without using medication. Hopefully, the new diet that he has me on will clear it up in a few weeks. The new diet consist of eating flax seed, yogurt (for the culture), eating alot of raw greens, and drinking more low-fat milk. He also wants me to go organic. That's going to be a tough one. I also have to use wipes after pooping. I'm to amp up on my vitamins. Currently, I'm taking 8 pills a day and it's making me sick to my stomach. I'm going to try to take them all right before I sleep to see if that will ease up on my nausea.
I'm seeing my regular OB this Thurs. so hopefully more news to come.
