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!

2012

Happy New Year! Man, 2011 was quite memorable. We were blessed with a gorgeous niece, handsome son and had the joy of purchasing a home. Well, we're still in the process of purchasing the home. We moved in a week before Christmas (without the husband!) and are just renting until the deal closes. I'm praying that it gets all done before the end of January so we don't have to move again... that would be no fun.

Anyways, I hope to be a better blogger now that life is not so hectic. I have another blog that has just gone down the tube. I haven't posted in months. I may just switch to only one blog.

I don't have any resolutions... once again I don't want to feel like a failure if I can't stay with it. Although with all of the holidays gone and a trip to Hawaii in 4 weeks, I'm gonna try to whip my buns into shape and lose a few pounds before we go. I finally got the clear to work out right before Christmas and bought an elliptical from a friend. Here's to getting into a good routine of yoga, running and working out!
