Yup we are PREGNANT!!! Baby number three is due to arrive on or around 22 August 2010!! We started trying for another baby back in Sept, I finally felt ready to try again after our loss back in March, and defiantly was ready to be pregnant so I used OPKs and took my temperature daily that cycle. And I didn't really think it would happen, but a few days before my lovely friend was due to arrive I was getting the burpies and was staying up super late! Both are highly unlike me so I took a test at 10 days past ovulation (DPO) and got a big fat negative (BFN) well I still felt like my friend wasn't going to arrive so I tested at 12DPO and got what I thought was a faint second line off a $test from Dollar General. So I retested with another $ test and got a defite 2nd pink line the next morning although it was still light so that afternoon I bought a test from the shopette on post and got a definite blue plus sign. I had a digital that came with my OPKs and was waiting to take it because I wanted to know it would say PREGNANT, so I woke up at 230 am on Saturday and took it, up came the word PREGNANT!!! I was so happy!!!
This was on 12 Dec 09, I tried tried waiting till Christmas to tell Adam, but I couldn't I held it in till Sunday morning and had Hayden tell daddy he was going to be a big brother! It took a mintue to sink in, but boy Adam was so excited and we both got teary eyed. It is an amazing feeling knowing that you are going to bring in another member to your family and that he or she was created out of love. So far so good with this pregnancy, I did call and ask to have my levels checked because I wanted to be on the safe side even with my good feeling of this pregnancy, they did three 48hr checks and my levels doubled every 48hrs like they were suppose to so that Friday the nurse called and said the doctor wanted me to go in for an ultrasound on the 23rd of Dec.
I was excited to get one so early I knew I would be just over 5wks. It was NOT fun having to drink and hold in 32 plus ounces of water!! Adam and I go in for our ultrasound and saw the gestational sac which was measuring at 5wks 5days and based off my last menstraul cycle (LMP) I was 5wks 3days, we also were able to see the yolk sac which provides the baby with nutrients until the placenta takes over which is around wk 10 or so I think. The tech said she thought everything looked good so far, which made me happy. My doctor will get the results early next wk and I am thinking he will either have me come in again for another ultrasound later next wk so we can see the heartbeat because I will be 6wks and we will be able to see the baby by then and see the heartbeat or I will just have to wait till my first appt which is on 11 Jan!!
I did have some brown spotting but only when I wiped that started on Tues the day before my ultrasound, it has since stopped so I think all is fine and I am not worrying about it because everything I have found said it can be normal, my OBs nurse said it can be normal along with the ultrasound tech. They said it was probably left over from when the baby implanted into the uterus abd because it takes a while for it to work its way down it is brown and that brown is good. Even though I still do worry a little bit, I do have a good feeling about this pregnancy and am so grateful the Lord as blessed us with a new addition to our family. I know the boys are so excited about being big brothers and Adam and I are excited to be having another child along with the families with adding another grandchild.
