Baby Update

Ok, so I realized that I have not giving a baby update since I posted I was pregnant. This is mainly because there is not a whole lot to update. I have been to the doctor twice since I found out (once at 7 weeks and once at 12 weeks) and I go again on the 19th for my 16 week update. Both appointments went really well and everything is progressing great. We did decide to have the genetic testing done and everything came back normal. As for me I am doing ok. I was pretty sick there for awhile. I think I lost about 8lbs. and have become very intimate with my toilets...but hey it's worth it right? I have been doing better the past few days so I am praying that continues. I would post tummy pics but I don't really think I am showing much. I have a little bit of a bump, but I am in that awful stage where people have to ask "Is she pregnant or just fat?" I have decided its time to go buy some maternity work pants. I think they will still be a little big but my regular pants are just getting too tight and pretty uncomfortable.

Also, I haven't ever shared the story of us getting pregnant so I thought it would be fun to share (no, not that part of the story...get your mind out of the gutter), the part where it was a bit of a challenge for us. Nothing compared to what other friends have gone through but it wasn't exactly quick and easy either.

Back at the end of March '07 we decided it was time to start trying....

I have to brag on my husband for a minute and tell you the sweet way he told me he was ready. I was out of town during spring break and I had called him and asked him to pick up my BC pills. Well when I got home the pharmacy bag was in my bathroom drawer. It looked a little flat so I picked it up and looked inside and he had cut out all of these pictures of babies and put them in the bag. It was so precious. I just started crying and of course he was at work and I didn't want to tell him I knew over the phone, so we met for lunch and talked about it. It was really sweet.

Back to the story. So anyway, September rolls around and I am not pregnant. Being the very impatient person I am I decided to call the Dr. and see if we could get tests. Long story short we both were tested and he was fine. I on the other hand was not ovulating. So my Dr. put me on Clomid. I did one round and poof I was pregnant. I know that doesn't seem like it was much of a challenge but the hard part for me was I was just thinking about all the things to come. I was so sure the Clomid wouldn't work so I was preparing myself for all the other procedures. Goes to show you the Lord has different plans than you do. I am grateful it only took one round and have prayed many prayers of thanks. So there you have it, I am knocked up =) (with a little help). And oh yeah...yes there is only one baby.
