Early release! And other news!!!!

We were released from the RE on the 31st!! We had our ultrasound and Biscuit was looking good, all nestled in the corner with a really strong heartbeat. The nurse tried to get the baby to turn but was not successful; Biscuit was comfy and not turning!

Biscuit looks more like a baby now than before. It's amazing the difference a couple of weeks makes. They grow so fast!! And without further ado, here's Biscuit!
I go to the OB on February 14. I'm excited...but nervous at the same time. I know what to expect at the RE... :)

I've been feeling great the last couple of weeks. I haven't had any sickness at all. I'm so glad that week was a fluke and I haven't been sick since. I was not looking forward to weeks of being that sick.

Onto other news, we had snowmaggedon this week. We ended up with 20" of snow in about 24 hours. Shane has been snowed in at work (who knew a bank was "essential"!?!?!) and we're hopeful he'll get home today. If not, so be it. I tried shoveling yesterday but it was an epic fail. I was successful in the morning but waited to long to do the second round. The snow was deeper than my shovel blade and I couldn't move it. So, the dogs and I are snowed in. Shane is snowed out. It's an interesting predicament! I hope that school is closed again tomorrow; as it is, I won't be getting out tomorrow unless Shane gets home. They plowed the cross street at our house, completely blocking our road. I'd guess the drifts are waist high at the end of our road. I can't get a car out in that!! Betty is completely buried and couldn't clear the drifts even if she wanted to.

Ready to feel better!

I know I am so luck to be where I am...after this long of a wait we are so thankful to be able to say we're pregnant! That being said, I'd like to be able to enjoy eating again!

Tuesday of this week I had the flu. It was BAD...I will spare you the details but I thought if that was morning sickness (that lasted all day!) I was ready to quit. Thankfully I felt better on Wednesday but I've been squeamish since. And stupid things make me gag. I can't discuss them (I'd like to keep my breakfast down!) but just know it doesn't make any sense.

I'm exhausted. Like more exhausted that I've ever been in my life. I go to sleep at 8:30 or 9 and sleep until the next morning. And still feel tired. I sometimes wonder if my evening sickness is from being so tired and my body just giving in?

I am excited for my next u/s on the 31st. I just hope everything is growing like it should!!!

Saw the heartbeat!

What a beautiful sight!!! We saw that prized heartbeat at the RE's office.

The appointment went well. Dr. Gil says baby is measuring a couple of days ahead but he'll take it. It's so early that it's really hard to tell anything. That being said, it's pretty darn amazing that we can even see anything this early!

Here's the pics from the u/s. The bottom left is probably the best.


We go back in two weeks for one last u/s with Dr. Gil and then we're released to our OB. It will be really strange to go t0 someone other than Dr. Gil. We've been with him the last three years or so. So, for now, looks like everything is moving in the right direction!

SUCCESS!

It worked! It worked! Look at our beautiful bean!!! Now, to throw some caution in, there is not a heartbeat yet. We go back on the 18th to see that beautiful heartbeat.

Everything today looked perfect. The nurse cried right along with Shane and I when we saw the beginnings of baby Biscuit :) Yes, the baby will be Biscuit until otherwise named; this child wants nothing but biscuits and gravy to eat!!

More later...

Wondering what Tuesday will bring

It's still a little unreal to me that I saw that BFP on Monday. I'm trying really hard not to worry; it's hard to not to, given everything Dh and I have been through to get here. I keep trying to tell myself that it's important to enjoy each moment we're given and if things change, I can't do anything about it.

So, here's how I'm feeling right now:

• Trouble sleeping at night - my extremities go to sleep
• Some cramping off and on
• My pants don't fit like they used to
• Already up a size in my brassieres

I can't wait to see what Tuesday brings. It's so nervewracking to wait!!
