Just a little side note...

Went to radiology to get a measurement and have my ovaries looked at...

Here is baby Guth at 7 weeks and 2 days.  Heart rate is 155 bpm.  Dr called today and said everything looks great.  She said that I do have a really small cyst on my right Ovary.  She does not see anything happening other than it dissolving itself.  

Sorry the picture is sideways... 

Whew...

I feel soooooo much better now that today is over and jelly beanies measuring right on track!!

Can you see it?

BFF's

How is it possible that a true BFF knows EVERYTHING?  This morning, out of the blue I got a text message from my BFF that said, morning friend.  I am thinking about you today! 

I hadn't even told her yet!  How did she know she needed to be thinking about me today??  Well, she knows now!  Thanks, Jami!  You rock girl!  

ESP is a very strange thing!  HAHAH!   

Just a few more hours and I'll be through this.  I am not worried about the "exam" itself, it's the news.  Good news is preferred of course.  I need to hear reassurance that everything is okay! 

More this afternoon ladies!    

Nervous... Anxious... Excited... What am I supposed to be?

It's cool if you want to laugh at me.  I have all these feelings today.  I am so a mix of everything!  Dear Lord please let us have a great dr visit tomorrow.  Deep breath, my appointment is at 3:30 pm tomorrow!  I will make it through the day and it will be a great day!  I sure can't concentrate on work, much less anything else.  

That's all the update I have for now.  If I kept typing it would just be some dumb rambles to try to occupy my mind!

Love to all!!!  

 

6w 1d

Here I am, passed the 6 week mark, barely!  Do I feel pregnant, not really.  Has this all sunk in, not really!  I want my Friday appt. to hurry up!   I am ready for confirmation and reassurance.  (Like the million hpt's I've taken aren't enough)

All the parental units now know about our big secret!  After Friday, we will share with other need to know people. 

As I'm sitting here writing about my happy occasion, my heart hurts for a dear friend.  She had a m/c last fall, and stayed so positive!  Along came her next positive just a week before mine!  We were both so excited!  Well, our excitement for her has diminished. She is experiencing what is called a Molar Pregnancy.  I won't go into explanation, let's just say this can lead to so many different issues.  Stay strong dear!  You will get through this!  You have an awesome support group and know we're all here for you! 

So far... So good....

Crazy to make a title like that, but it's how I feel today.  I hope this trend continues!  Other than really sore nips, peeing a lot (even more than usual and that's saying something cause I pee a lot anyways) and feeling sluggish, all is good.  

It's a strange tired I feel.  It's not a tired like I haven't had enough sleep, but like I said it's a sluggish feel.  I feel like I could take ten 20 minute naps and be okay.  You know, one nap every hour.  ;)  

Sometimes I question the whole thing, but again, I have to remind my self that a normal woman is usually just now realizing or finding out she's pregnant.  If she even knows this early.  For some it's even longer.  

Here's to a happy and healthy 9 months....  actually we're down to 8 1/2 months now!  Whoop!  :)

5 Weeks Today

As I sit here and think, this still hasn't all sunk in yet. I mean I know I am pregnant; why do I still insist on taking a pregnancy test? It's because I'm in disbelief. I can't believe that we finally have our rainbow! Everyday I go around wondering if its all just a dream, I have to remind myself it's not. This is real.

Up until yesterday, the only sign I even sort of had was sore boobs. Yesterday and more so today, the energy level is well below zero. I'm not to the point of having to force myself to get up and do something, but it sure takes more energy. LOL

Thankfully, I have the most supportive male co-habitant! He's right there when I need him. Whether it be laundry, dishes or just picking up. I sure do love that man!

It's crazy how things work out. Deep down this is what we really wanted, but a small part of me had lost hope. After almost 3 years of total failure, you lose hope. Again, going back to the adoption stuff. It's still on the agenda, it's just in hold. (We have to wait for classes anyways).

My momma has been informed and the MIL will be know soon. I know my mom hates how I tell her things, but I don't want her to be a boo hooin' momma... Hahahahah! I don't tell are as much as I should some times and when I do need to tell her the important stuff, I love catching her off guard.

Wow...

So... Here we are married 3 years! We've sure battled some obstacles. Not against each other, but mainly in life itself. One of the biggest battles has been infertility. That is sure a word I don't like using!

Several months ago we made a heartfelt decision to adopt. It wasn't a hard decision, but after battling IF for nearly 3 years I was ready to give up. I promised myself when we set to adopt that it wasn't a stop to have own own baby some day, more like and addition. Everyone said, you know now that you've decided to adopt, you're going to get pregnant.

Well, maybe it's luck and maybe it's Gods grace, but I believe in miracles and have faith every day that we will get our rainbow! No, I don't go to church but that doesn't mean I don't believe. Over the last few months I've had a couple long talks with the "man upstairs."

Today, I had my first OB visit and in two weeks, April 19th I will have an ultra sound to make sure our little jelly bean has a a heartbeat and is growing as he or she should be. That's right blog followers, we're PREGNANT! Today I am officially 4 weeks and 4 days pregnant. Our current estimated due date is December 8, 2013!!! Here's to a happy and healthy 9 months!

Sometimes life goes just as you expect it to and sometimes it throws you curve balls.  I feel blessed to have been thrown the curve balls, for those have taught me to rely on those closet to me, family and friends.  They are your strength and they are your guide.  As much as you want to keep stuff to your self, the out pour of support you receive is amazing. 

That being said, I really am excited about this!  And honestly, I can not wait to share with our parents!!!  Soon my friends, soon!  Until then... Not a word about this!  ;)

3 years later..

Today marks 3 years since I married my soul mate.  Some people just say that, but I have truly found mine!  I love him heart and soul and he loves me!  He is my strength when I'm weak.  I LOVE YOU!!!
