Today I had my first OB appointment and it went well. Was not expecting a full well woman check while I was there but she did the horrible pap and will have to do another one in a few months...yuck.

My Dr. talked with me about seeing a high risk OB just to make sure they are doing everything right since having this protein S deficiency and being on the blood thinners. The High Risk OB should call me tomorrow with that appointment time, the high risk OB will do another sono to check everything, which I am fine with. Hoping that appointment will be in just a few weeks.

They gave me tons of vitamin samples which would have been nice to have the years we were trying because after finding out we were pregnant I bought the largest bottle you can buy so I think I'm set for quite a while. They also gave me some material on all the genetic testing they can do and info on Stembanc which stores the baby's stem cells. Not sure how we feel about all that so Jason and I will have to do some talking.

Having a hard time with the water mouth so I decided to put a trash bag in the car just in case I lose it one day. Hopefully not but it's progressively getting worse everyday so would rather just be prepared.

7 Weeks 2 days

We just got back from our 7 week sono appointment and I think we were smiling from ear to ear because leaving a couple ladies said it must be good news and it was!!! The baby is still measuring right on and the heart beat went from 95 to 143 today. Jason and I had guessed based on the formula they give you online and I thought 117 and Jason's was 125 so well above that. What a huge sigh of relief. We are heading to a movie and dinner tonight to celebrate this and our anniversary yesterday. We didn't get each other anything because how can you top being pregnant for a gift!

I received a phone call today from our Dr. in Dallas congratulating us on our first sono last week. He said everything looks great and would like to start weening me off of my progesterone injections July 1st (the one that Jason does in my rear) Jason is thrilled he doesn't have to do this one anymore. I will have to continue the Lovenox and he suggested a high risk OB. I will talk to my OB on Monday the 28th for the first time so we will see what she says and recommends. I'm feeling great for the most part, some days I feel a little yuck but usually a snack takes care of that. A little dizzy here and there and some growing boobs...finally. At times I still question if this is real or not. I think when I start actually showing and not just have a swollen belly still from the OHSS it will feel a bit more real!

We have 1 SWEET PEA

Today was our first sonogram. I was asked to drink 32oz of water and be there by 1:30pm for our appt at 1:40pm. I was miserable by the time they called me back at 2:05pm. Jason took out the camera and she told him he couldn't video it. Not even just the screen, not sure why we couldn't but she gave us a CD with the pics on it. They started out doing it on my abdomen and couldn't really see much. Her words were, "I think I saw something but not sure" didn't sound to reassuring so I went and emptied my bladder and she did a trans vaginal sono and there it was. We were able to see the heart beat 95 bpm. I didn't get emotional like I thought I might. I think after not being able to hear it right away got me a little nervous. Our next appt will be June 25th same time 1:40 in the afternoon.

Purchased a video camera to capture this journey and also a little of Sophie :) So here is a test video of Sophie licking on her favorite toy.

PREGNANT!!!!!

The two week wait has ended, and we are happy to say...


Sorry we have made you wait so long, trying to make sure we are in the clear. We found out on Memorial Day. Jason did not want me to take a home pregnancy test but it was killing me so I ran into Walgreen's and picked one up. When I got home that evening I decided to go for it but knew that it was still really early and it was in the evening so there was a good chance that it could be negative but it wasn't. It was a blazing BFP after about 1 min. We then had blood work appointments last week to confirm it and my hcg numbers were more than doubling like they were supposed to, so we were told to schedule our first sonogram. Wohoo!! Our first sonogram will be June 25th, which will let us know if it's one or two in there and we should be able to see/hear the heart beat. We are really excited but a little nervous and trying to believe that this is real. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we have a long way to go. Just taking this one week at a time.

TWW is coming to an end

The tww is coming to an end next week. Not sure what to think just trying to be positive. Been staying busy. I started class on Tuesday and that's every evening from 4-6:45 not the way I want to spend my summer nights but I have to do it to continue on to second semester.
