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!

What I needed...

I get a lot irritated at people who gripe about their pregnancies on facebook. I just want to scream at them! "I hate that I can't sleep, this baby keeps moving" (well, if it wasn't moving then something would be wrong, rejoice that your baby is alive!) "I have back pain, my belly is too big" (you have a growing baby in you... what do you expect??) "I can't do anything fun because I'm pregnant" (well, if you see it as a burden then why are you having kids??) These are just a few of the complaints I want to scream at. I know many girls who would kill to lead a boring life, with a baby moving inside them and to feel the pains of pregnancy. I am one... I would love to be growing huge, and kept awake... all to have that amazing gift at the end!



Ok... enough of the complaints from my end ;] I went to my cousins, Isaiah and Gavin's birthday yesterday. My other cousin Torri was there with her little guy, Braxton, who is almost 4 months old. I snatched him right up and snuggled him for a couple hours... he slept on me, I got to feed him and just talk to him. It totally reminded me of why I'm doing everything I am to have a baby. I still have it in me to take care of a little one and my desire is stronger than ever to have another one. Owen kept coming up to Braxton and talking to him... he's so sweet with babies, and I know he'll be an awesome big brother. I know God has a plan, he knows when this will all happen and I'm just taking it one day at a time... but yesterday was what I needed... I needed a sweet baby to snuggle.
