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!

cravings...

Just like every other pregnant woman... I've had cravings. At first it was tomato soup, egg mcmuffins and orange juice. Now, I have some cravings that aren't so good for me (not that the others were the best diet, but far better than these...)

Totino's Pizza's
Yes, the bottom of the frozen pizza barrel. You can buy these suckers for $1. I crave them... they're horribly not nutritious.




Sour Punch Bites
These were a craving of mine while pregnant with Owen, but this time I've tried to keep myself from the candy aisle. I don't need to be gaining 40 pounds this pregnancy Adding to the pizza with a sour dessert will only speed up the weight gaining process.
Why can't I be one of those girls who craves fruits, veggies and lean meats?? Grrr... I am hating my super unhealthy cravings and have been trying to offset them with nice long walks. I wish it were long jogs, but my hip is not allowing me to run :( I miss running... I read a blog basically profiling this mom's journey to a marathon starting at square one. It made me want to set a goal for post-baby. There is a 5k I do every year at the end of February... I'm going to run that again. As soon as my dr gives me the thumbs up for exercise, I'm running!
