Today I am 9 weeks and 5 days pregnant. Yesterday was the first time back to my regular obgyn. No more specialist! Though I will miss Dr. P, she was amazing. I haven’t been able to find an OB that I like that is associated with the hospital down the street from our house so I have decided to just keep going to the obgyn I have been going to for a few years now. I talked to my doctor there, Dr. C and she said I could keep coming here until week 20-25 before I really needed to switch if that is what we still felt like doing. I am really not sure anymore. Part of me would rather just drive the extra 20 min to the other hospital so that I don’t have to keep searching for a new place. Baby is doing great so far though! Heartbeat is at 173 and its 
little hand nub was waving at us, so cute!
On another note, my Metformin had run out and I had procrastinated a few days before trying to refill it at the pharmacy, only to find out I was also out of refills and would have to contact Dr. C. So by the time I did that and picked up the prescription, I had been off of Metformin for probably close to 5 days! I was flying out to TX for my friend’s wedding that Friday, whom I have known my entire life. There was absolutely no way I was taking the Metformin on days where I would be confined in a plane and could only use the bathroom at certain times. Also having to worry about an upset stomach on her wedding day was out of the question as well. I decided it would be safest to just wait until Sunday night when I got back home and could deal with whatever was going to happen. I am glad that is what I decided because the wedding was gorgeous, except freezing cold, and I felt great the whole day and for all of my flights. Sunday night was another story however. I took my Metformin with dinner and felt ok until around 11pm when I had just reached a nice deep sleep only to be awoken by horrible stomach pains. This went on every night for the passed several nights. I really hope I get used to the Metformin again soon, this drug is the worse. I just keep telling myself, if it will help prevent gestational diabetes, then it will be worth it.
