Back from the doctor and it's official!

I'm 8 weeks along! Boy am I nervous, because this is a time where things can start to go wrong. I want any and all advice that anyone has to offer in these early weeks of my pregnancy. I've bought all the books (from the last time), but would love to hear from some experienced mommies! I'm going to have regular tests to make sure everything is okay, especially because I'm in remission and changing in hormones can affect a lot of different things and we want to make sure baby is safe (and that my health doesn't become an issue again). I have a feeling I'm going to be "that woman" who calls my doctor about every little thing! lol hope that he'll continue to put up with me!

My husband is already making fun of me for joining this and posting and making new "friends". Lol! (All in a joking way of course, he's just picking at me!) He told me I'm a big nerd :)

I am praying about it! Reaally trying to relax! I'll be at the doctor every week for the first part of the pregnancy to check on the baby but also to monitor my blood cell counts. Thank you so much for the well wishes, everyone! I would love to start making some "Mommy friends" here! :)
