About Me

My photo
I met my husband about 6 years ago and we got pregnant about a year into our relationship. He is 4 now and such an amazing kid! We have been struggling to have a successful pregnancy for 2 years now, with 4 miscarriages all in the first tri-mester

What does it all mean??

TTC= trying to conceive

BBT= basal body temperature

HPT= home pregnancy test

OPK= ovulation predictor kit

BFP= big fat positive (what we want!)

BFN= big fat negative (what we loathe...)




What's been going on?

Dec 2004: Met Derek at a friends birthday dinner (and didn't like him lol!)

Feb 2006: Conceived Owen by surprise

Sept 22, 2006: Derek and I got married

Nov 6, 2006: Owen was born!

Nov 2008: Decide to TTC for #2

Jan 2009: Longest cycle ever, take HPT and got a BFP. Go to dr and find out we're mid miscarriage

May 2009: BFP!

June 2009: Go to DR for first OB appointment to find no heartbeat, off to hospital for D&C. Told to wait 3 months before TTC again

Dec 2009: BFP and one week later start bleeding, miscarriage #3

Jan 2010: Go in to see DR, check blood and all organs working well, and ovulating well.

April 2010: Another BFP. About a week later start bleeding again, miscarriage #4.

May 2010: Talk to my DR, has me wait 6 months before TTC again.

Sept 2010: Go to follow up with DR, has me start taking prenatal vitamins, baby asprin and progesterone 48 hours after ovulation (to take until my cycle starts, or reach 13 weeks in a pregnancy)

March 7th 2011: BFP!!!!! (over the next few days I ended up taking 4 tests to be for sure positive)

April 4th 2011: First OB appointment... saw lil baby on ultrasound and STRONG heartbeat of 175 bpm.

June 27th 2011: Second ultrasound, we're having a lil boy!

Christmas is over!

I must admit that I'm a little sad it's all over. We had so much fun and were blessed with lots of great times with great family. Owen made out with so many presents and he was spun up from all the excitement! I am hoping to get all the decorations packed up and get this house clean. I just need my sons energy to do it all, cause I'm exhausted!

I am looking forward to the new year... 2011 is going to be a good one, I can feel it! This time last year we were dealing with our 3rd miscarriage and having to replace the transmission on our 2006 Escape. I am thankful that this year we were blessed to have no heartbreak or car troubles at Christmas-time. I also can't help but think we were supposed to have a brand new baby this month... I'm not too sad, thankfully, but it is still something I think about. The good thing is that I haven't been pregnant for 9 months now and we haven't had another miscarriage, so I will focus on that! Last night we went to Morton for our annual family bon fire/pot luck. I got to love on my cousin Braxton again, and it my baby fever wasn't high enough, Derek wanted to hold him and play with him. It hurts my heart more knowing that he wants a baby just as bad, if not worse than I do. My cousin Stacey couldn't have said it better though... it's just not our time... it will happen when it's the right time. No, this doesn't take the pain away, but it helps knowing God has a bigger plan for us.

I hope every one had a great Christmas and got as spoiled as I did!!! ;]
