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.

Up with the birds

This week I lost another 1.4 pounds, putting my Weight Watchers total to 5 pounds! 5.9 from when I started 5 weeks ago. Yes I wish it were more, but I had a few snafoos along the way. I have really committed myself to the program and working out. My buns have been at the gym at 5:30 4 days a week! This time is working out because I don't have to worry about a babysitter, since everyone is still asleep. Even though, I'm NOT a morning person, I've decided to get up even earlier and get to the gym at 5 am. This is so I can get an hour of cardio in with my workouts. My body is so used to the typical 30 minutes weight training and 30 minutes of cardio. I didn't get much sleep Monday night and didn't get to the gym Tuesday morning, so I went Tuesday night... At 9:30. I got 55 minutes on the elliptical, which I don't think I've ever done. And this morning (running day!) I set my iPod to 45 minutes. I can't believe I did it... It's just been so long since I've ran regularly and I did it! 4.5 miles :) I'm going to have to get to bed even earlier cause I'm beat!
