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!

23 weeks

The site I normally get the size comparison from stops comparing baby each week and goes to months... so my illustrations will be about 4 weeks apart now lol! As for the pregnancy, I'm doing great. Feeling really well. No pains, nothing ailing me. I'm feeling the baby move all the time and I LOVE it. I love at night when he moves and Derek gets to feel him. Makes me happy :) I've been doing a lot of shopping (as you have seen from my last post). I can't tell you how excited I am about my thrifty purchases! My dear friends Stepheni and Stephanie are planning me a shower (or I guess sprinkle since it's baby #2) and I can't even tell you how excited I am! These girls are amazing and I know the shower will be too. I won't be registering for anything because really, I don't need anything. We're replacing those things I got rid of one by one and there is no reason to register.

Anyways, I have my 24 week appointment on Monday and I will have my glucose test that same day. I'm anxious for this test as I am for any test... I'm so afraid I'm going to hear "you have gestational diabetes" ugh. Be praying please!
