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!

We're in the home stretch!

28 weeks today and in the 3rd trimester! I had a DR appointment yesterday and once again Ryken sounds great. His heart rate is at 145 and measured perfectly. I am anxious to see how big he will be. Owen was 9 lbs 5 oz when he was born at 39 weeks, and always measured big. I would love to have a little guy who is little haha! But if the Lord decides to give me a 10 lb kid, I'll take it too ;]

I talked with my Dr about scheduling a c-section. As much as I wanted to do a VBAC, I would rather guarantee that Derek would be there when Ryken is born. So, we scheduled it! I'm not telling anyone the day because I don't want anyone else to be at the hospital other than my mom, sister, brother-in-law, mother-in-law, father-in-law and sister-in-law there. We didn't tell anyone when Owen's scheduled c-section was and I was glad that they got to have special time to love on him before everyone else came. We will however call and text soon after he's born :]
