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.

like old times

Today was a day like old times... I didn't have the kids today so Owen and I slept in. We ate breakfast and headed to the gym. After the gym we did some much needed grocery shopping and took our sweet time. It was really nice to not be on a set schedule and worrying how much time I had before I had to pick up a kid from school. I miss these days... just me and Owen. I got a killer work out in (which sucks cause this stupid progesterone will make it so I don't even see the effects of the workouts ugh!) and I relaxed while Owen took a nap. 3 years ago, we lived in a teeny apartment in Bonney Lake, I consider this our first place. We were blessed greatly with a free place to live until Owen was 7 months old, but with us being "grown ups" and finding this place and paying for it all on our own, it really felt like our first home. Anyways, we did fine financially and I didn't have to watch kids to make due. Owen and I went to the gym 4 days a week and my house was always clean! I miss it... sometimes I wish we would've stayed in that little place so I could still be at home with just my little man...
