Ready to Explode!

I want to tell my parents, I want to tell my sister, I want to tell the world! I know better than that though. One more week and then, hopefully, after a successful ultrasound we will tell my family. Every time we talk to my brother-in-law calls he asks how the 'egg hunt' is going and I finally want to be able to tell him that it worked. I can be strong, I can be strong!

On a side note I'm a little worried because I don't have any symptoms. Yes, I know that they come and go but I can't help but worry. Besides being tired I've been doing just fine. I'm going to worry myself stupid one of these days. I'm sure that it's only going to get worse once this child is born. Greeeeeeeeeeeeeeat. :)

First Ultrasound!

Being that I am only 5 weeks along the doctor didn't expect to see anything on our ultrasound but so wanted to see if she could see anything going on in there anyways. 2 mintues into the ultrasound we see a little dot! She points out that that is our little one! OMG - we have a dot! So far the doctor says everything is looking good and going well. ::crossing fingers::

First Apt.

My first apt. was yest. (20th) and it went so-so. We talked to the doctor about concerns we had and she took some blood. She mentioned that she'll call me today to let me know my HCG as well as my Progesterone Levels. If my progesterone levels came back below average then I will need to start taking pills to boost it up until my 12th week of pregnancy. I have a follow up apt. on Thur. to get more blood taken as well as my first ultrasound! I'm going to be 4w6d on Thur. and I already get my first ultrasound! I hope we can see the little peanut. ::crossing fingers::

Right now I'm feeling crampy but I'm SO nervous.

As of my doctors apt. yest. my EDD is Sept. 25. It's weird because Marks dad's birthday in Sept. 24th and my Mom's birthday is on Sept. 29th. Maybe they will get a baby for their birthday this year!

If you don't believe in God..

Here's a story for you.

We've been TTC since Jan. '08 w/ the m/c in May/June. We went to church on Christmas Eve because it's something we like to do on Christmas to celebrate the real meaning of it. We went in search of our pastor that married us after the service to talk to him and see if he could say a prayer for us. We found him and we caught up on things. Before we left we asked him to pray with us in hopes of having a baby in '09. So he said a beautiful prayer for us and we left the church with high hopes. Who knew that less then a month later we would be pregnant. It could be coincidence but I like to think it was the power of god. :)

Off to my first OB apt.! Yes..already! I can't wait.

No way..no way...NO WAY!

Am I in disbelief? Yes!

Here's the story:
I had been feeling super crampy for a week and whenever I touched my stomach..it hurt. Weird? Yes. AF was due on the 19th but I decided on the 18th to test anyways because I figured I should get it over with. After trying for months & months I've been pretty much set up for failure. So, I test and don't see a second line. Of course I start to get upset but I figured I would wait around another minute to double check. All of a sudden a second, very faint line, appears. I yell for Mark and he comes running into the bathroom. I said 'I think I'm pregnant' and he looked and said he saw a faint line. He wanted me to confirm with a digital so he made me drink a gallon (no lie) of decaf Iced Tea. 30 min. later I was ready to test again. I tested, left it on the counter, and then we both went into the bathroom together and sure enough the words 'Pregnant' appeared on the test. All I could say was 'Oh my god' over and over again. We hugged, we cried, we prayed. Dear god, Please let this be our miracle we've been waiting for!

Being that I had a miscarriage in May, I will already be high risk so I need to get in the doctor ASAP to start my blood tests. I'm going to be calling today to get an appointment. I can't wait to go but I'm SO Nervous!!
