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!

33 weeks

Well, 7 weeks to go! I told my mom that there was 48 days and she about freaked! So much stuff to get done (on her part, blankets, hats etc.) before he gets here.

I am suffering from a few annoying pregnancy symptoms.

1. Odd pains:: I have this weird pain right under my bra-line above my belly on the right side... oh and it radiates through to my back. And switching positions doesn't help one bit.

2. Swollen feet:: I was sure I was escaping this one, until I put on my cute black boots yesterday and I felt like my feet were going to burst out of these poor boots... looks like those will have to wait til after he's born.

3. Vericose Veins:: I took this one the hardest. Yes, I cried. I have the slightest start of a vericose vein on my left calf. I am mad at myself for getting upset because I wanted to bring this boy into the world so badly, but I sacrificed my stomach for Owen (stretch marks) and I didn't want to have to sacrifice my legs too. I read up on them and thankfully, they go away within 3 months of delivery if they were set on by pregnancy.

Other than that, I'm tired. Which is to be expected. Derek came home and should be home for about 2ish weeks. He laughs at me while I try to get comfortable in bed... there is lots of huffing and puffing and grunting and groaning. It's not easy to get into the 2 comfy positions lol! I had another OB appointment yesterday and everything looks good. Ryken's heartbeat was 140 and he's measuring right at 33 weeks. I start getting checked each time I go in (yippee!!!) and after my next appointment, I will be there once a week... a sure fire sign that there isn't much time left!
