Dr Appointment Today!

Well today we have a Dr appointment and we will get to hear the babies heartbeat. I think I will look forward to that every month! It isn't the same as the ultrasound but at least we will know that everything is going good :)

I have still been feeling GREAT! I am soooo lucky that I didn't have to experience morning sickness or anything for that matter. With the exception of feeling dizzy every morning in the beginning I can't complain and really how can I even complain about a little dizziness.

I am officially up 4 lbs and growing! Although my belly isn't really apparent to anyone I can see changes. I am still fitting into my regular clothes but friends keep telling me that one day soon I am just going to pop! It's a waiting game. It really is different going through pregnancy when you haven't done so before. Let;s face it everyone reads the books so you always compare your own pregnancy with the books or others that are expecting. I should just remember that everyone is different and every pregnancy id different. With the exception of being a little more irritated ( I think Dan would say a lot irritated!) I feel the same. I am continuing with my daily exercise routine and eating healthy.

Well that is it for now- ultrasound appointment Nov 21st- can't wait!

It's baby Mabee!!!

12 week Ultrasound- what a great day. It was so surreal to see our little baby moving around and kicking. WOW! is the only word I can use to describe the experience.

12 1/2 weeks and counting!

Wow! I can't believe that I am already over 12 weeks pregnant! If I didn't know any better I wouldn't even think I was pregnant! Now I am gettting a little bit of a belly but nothing you would notice.

Tomorrow is a big day for us- we get to go for another ultrasound and see our little baby. At this point the baby is the size of a large plum or maybe a little bigger. It is going to grow a lot in the next few weeks. We are able to tape the ultrasound so it will be nice to have something to keep.

We decided to have a party on Friday so that we can share our goods news with our friends all at the same time. We are also going to my Mother in laws on the weekend to tell her the news. She is going to be thrilled! We are going to take the video with us. I can't wait!

Thump, Thump!

Well today was our first ultrasound appointment- they day we see our babies heartbeat! We were filled with excitement and a bit of nervousness. All went well! It was such a neat thing to see and hear! There is only one baby so a bit of relief for Dan ( although he would be happy with 2) The babies heatbeat was 181 beats per minute. We saw it moving around- the head and the arms. It almost looked like it was waving at us! I am 9 weeks and will have my next ultrasound on Oct 4th when I will be 12 weeks. I can't wait to see how much the baby grows.

I am also happy that I am feeling better this week. I didn't have morning sickness but was nautious for the past 2 weeks. All part of our exciting journey. Oh almost forgot our due date is April 12th. Another Aries in the house should be interesting!

Siging off for now!

Blogging the journey

Well I lied- I said I wouldn't wait this long until I posted another blog and I did! Sorry

Well things have been pretty normal except that I have been feeling nautious for the past few weeks. Some foods just really turn my stomach and then some things I just crave like ham and cheese sub from subway- go figure!!

We are going to the Dr's on monday for an ultrasound to see the heartbeat. We are really excited about this day because it will really make things real in our world. I can't wait! I will have to schedule my 3 month ultrasound soon as well.

It really has been killing us not telling anyone about our exciting news but we wanted to be safe rather than sorry. After we had to cancel our first IVF procedure we decided that we would keep it quiet. There are a few people that know but that is only my parents, sister and father-in-law. We know our news is safe with them although they are anxious to spread the word too!

We have decided that we are going to have a little get together on Oct 5th. The get together is really to tell all of our friends the news. We figured this was the best way to tell everyone at the same time. We just hope that people understand why we have kept this quiet.

Anyhoo, I am at work so I will sign off until monday!

Better late than never!

Ok so I have been a little lax in writing in this blog! The last time I wrote I left you hanging about our pregnancy results............... POSITIVE!!!!!!!!!! I am pregnant :) Our first blood test was very high- 880 (whatever that means) the second test (2 days later) they look for a 60% increase in the number. I succeeded with a whopping 1937. We had such a great day. I was off work so Dan and I headed to the golf course for 9 holes.

So it has been a few weeks and everything is progressing good I think. I guess I am lucky that I have noth experienced any morning sickness but because I feel the same it makes me feel as I am not pregnant. I have been dizzy in the mornings and yesterday we had a bit of a scare. On our way back from camping I passed out 2 times in a burger take out restaurant. Dan was waiting in the car with Bronx. It was pretty scary and an ambulance/paramedic were called. Luckily there was a Firefighter in the restaurant who sat with me and took my pulse while we waited for help. I think it was a combination of dehydration and lack of food. We went to a walk in clinic ( as we were not in London) and the Dr. advised that I go to Emergency. I did but after waiting for 2 hours and no sign of seeing anyone in the near future we made the decision to come home and see our own Dr. in the AM.

I went this AM to see the Dr and my blood pressure is back to normal ( well normal for me) and they did bloodwork. All is well thank goodness :)

Siging off now but I won't wait this long to write again.

The wait is killing us

Well tomorrow is the big day- the day we will find out if I am pregnant. Oh my god! We have been waiting for this day for so long and now it is finally here. I am a mess! It is all that I have been thinking about for the last 2 weeks but intensely for the past 2 days. Every thought I have is about our fate based on 1 single blood test.

I have so many thoughts running through my mind and it is hard to keep focussed. I am off tomorrow from work. I am sure I will have a hard time sleeping tonight but what will be worse is having to wait for the phone call from the Dr. to let us know the results.

This is it folks- we are keepiong all body parts crossed and we are ready :)
