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)

A little post from Hawaii

It's my last morning in Hawaii... very bittersweet.  I will miss Derek like crazy, but I have 2 sweet little men at home who I miss terribly.  It's hard to have your heart torn 2,500 miles apart.  I've had a lot of fun here, and I'm hoping that my exercising and conscious eating will pay off.  We will see tomorrow morning at Weight Watchers.  I don't have a scale here to give me an idea of how I've been doing... blind faith on my abilities is all.

On Thursday, when Derek went to work, I went to the gym here in the hotel.  The elliptical here sucks!!!! I busted out 60 minutes even though I hated every second of it. Friday morning, I woke up at ran 4.5 miles.  We didn't do too much walking that day, just to the mall for dinner.  On Saturday morning I rested up because we planned on hiking Diamond Head.  Once we got to Diamond Head, it was packed... we decided to hit up Koko Head (click to get a good blog of the hike we did).  It was intense to say the least.  And that afternoon/night we walked a ton! Derek's pedometer said we walked around 12 miles the whole day.  Sunday morning, I was tired... I opted out of a workout and decided to just relax.  Monday morning I was up and running... I ran 4.91 miles!  That is the farthest I've ran to date!  I'm excited... I'm just that much closer to a 10k.  Oh, and we walked a ton again lol.

So, this brings us to today... relaxing this morning until it's time to leave :( I'm really hoping for good numbers on the scale tomorrow and I'm hoping to be down 10 pounds from my WW start.  I've already lost 10.4 pounds and 11 inches since I started!
