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.

complete awe

On Wednesday my sister was called in for an induction. She was 41 weeks 1 day and so ready to have her baby girl. I was being kept up on her status while Owen was at VBS and again while we were at our bible study. From bible study I just wanted to get to the hospital, which wasn't my plan at all. I was going to wait until I got the call that Eme was born and then drive over. Thank God I decided to not do that! Our family friend Ray was there with his son and while I went to go check on Danielle he watched Owen for me for a few (which ended up being like 2 1/2 hours or more). I didn't even think I'd be able to see my sister during her labor at all. They had a fairly strict birth plan and wanted to just have the two of them in the room, which I totally get. It's an intimate experience and the last thing you need is some crazies chatting away while you're trying to get a baby out! Well, before I knew it I was holding her left leg and watching my niece be born! I am still in complete awe at how awesome my sister did. She was so calm and barely made any noise. And got that 8 pound 7 ounce gorgeous baby girl out so easily! I am in love with this little girl and I know she's going to make a fine addition to our family :]
