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!!
