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!

like clockwork

Every night I've been waking up anywhere between 1 and 5. And I'm usually up for at least 2 hours. Sometimes even having to eat. This has been super hard on me, especially when Owen wakes up at 6:30am. I tried cutting out my naps, but it's not been helping at all. I hope that it gets better, but if it doesn't I guess I'll just get used to it.

On another note. I asked my neighbor to borrow her old infant seat for a few minutes to see if it fits well in the car we're looking at buying. She kinda looked at me and said "Well, you can't borrow it cause I need it for my baby" haha! That was her sly way of telling me she's pregnant! And the funny thing is, is that she's 16 weeks along! Dang... I can't imagine keeping it a secret that long. I'm super excited for her. I got a little twinge of envy though because her oldest is almost 2 and will be 2 1/2 when this new baby is born. I really wish Owen had a sibling closer in age, but after talking with her about how much rest she doesn't get, I'm glad I have such a self sufficient 4 1/2 year old! God's plans are the best... better than we could even imagine and I can't doubt why he does what he does :]


** Update as of 4/21/11:: I slept through the night last night! Got up once to go to the bathroom and fell right back to sleep! Praise the LORD!
