37 weeks today!!

I made it to full term!

Now baby, its ok for you to arrive now. We are ready!
Ive been packing my bag and getting things all set. Lots of contractions and cramps.

I cant believe next week we will have a baby, if not sooner. wow.

35 weeks today!!!

Sorry its been so long since I wrote in here. Its been so busy.

I found out Im being induced on December 15 if he doesnt come on his own.
Which means I only have 3 weeks to go!

3rd tri!!!!

Im so excited to be in the 3rd trimester! I cant believe how fast this pregnancy has been going. I now have bi weekly NST and BPP monitoring. Its just to see how much the baby is moving and kicking. He got a 10/10 on the first round.

After tomorrows monthly dr appointment, it will go to every other week.

6 month mark! (24 weeks)

Ahh so excited.
Ive made it to the 6 month mark of pregnancy!! Its so cool reading about whats going on with the baby.
He is 2 pounds, 12 inches long and about the size of a corn on the cob.
His eyes, ears and nails are all developed and now his lungs are developing. I love reading about this.
I cant wait to see him!

Everything is becoming harder and harder to do. I have ran out of breath with everything that I do. Sleep doesnt exist anymore or very little and I love it!

Great Ultrasound

Had an amazing ultrasound today. Baby boy is doing well. He was very active and we only got a few good pics of him. The one we did get looks exactly like DH though. Its kinda funny how the baby can resemble someone so fast in a 4D picture.

Tomorrow is the 22 week mark! We are just truckin along.

Got the money shot...

We had to get a level 2 ultrasound on Monday because my bloodwork came back and the dr said the baby could have spina bifida. So We had our level 2 ultrasound and as far as they could see, the baby is healthy.
We also found out the sex....

Its a BOY!

DH is sooooo excited. His name will be Blake Ryan.

Oh Im in love!

Another ultrasound!

I had another ultrasound yesterday. I thought it was a normal ultrasound and it turned out to be a cervical ultrasound so they could check my cervix because of the blood clot I had 3 weeks ago. Everything turned out fine. The tech we always request even let us see the baby for a bit before the Dr checked the cervix so I could relax a bit. The babys heart rate is at a strong 165. I have to go back in 2 weeks to recheck it. Then the big ultrasound is on August 15!!! Im so excited! 17 weeks today!

weekend away

We took a much needed break this weekend to go have family time up in Michigan. It was so hot up there I was hesistant but got in the lake anyways. Ive read you can catch some form of bacteria but I needed to cool down. The water was nice but too warm. I got sun burned too. It still hurts!

Today marks 16 weeks! I cant believe how fast its flying by now.
I also have about 2.5 more weeks of school then Im done!

NT scan

We had our NT scan on Monday and everything is looking great! The baby was moving like crazy and smiling at us. My heart melted.

The heart rate went from 178 to 160. The tech said it is still really high so Im not worried. Im thinking its still a girl. DH thinks its a boy. We will see soon.....

We scheduled the BIG scan for August 10- DHs birthday!

Welcome to the 2nd tri! :)

what a great b-day present!!!

Wednesday was my 27th birthday. I got the best gift of all. We got to see our baby on an ultrasound screen. IT was amazing. The baby is measuring right on track to my calculations so the due date is Dec 27. The heart rate is 178 give or take. We are both thinking we are having a girl. I will have to wait and see though.

Im so excited.

If we wait til the 20 week mark, we will find out the sex of the baby on DHs birthday.

Happy Birthday to us!

7 week mark

Things are progressing nicely. My betas were fantastic! I went from 32 to 93 to 4560! Im almost to the 3 month mark and Im so excited. My first ultrasound is on my birthday (the 18th). I cant wait!

My next OB appointment is June 2. Ill be 10 weeks then.

School is finishing up for this semester then I will have just 8 weeks til Im completely finished! Woo!

3 week mark

This week has been crazy! I got my BFP on Thursday at 10dpo! I also got my bloodwork done and had to go back on Saturday to get it done again to see if the numbers are increasing. Please pray for healthy number and babi(es). Now its slowly setting it that this is happening again.

We told B's parents on Friday and they were so happy. We will tell my parents on Wednesday when I see them. The siblings will find out after I get the results from the dr on Monday. Then the rest of the family will find out around 20 weeks. We want to go past the time we lost baby #1 before we let the family know this time.

We also decided to do a week by week video recording with our new video camera. It will be nice when we get the end result.

It finally happened!!!

After 10 months and 6 days I finally got a BFP!

We are so excited and nervous. I went to get my bloodwork today and I have to go back on Saturday to get it done again so they can see it doubling. According to pregnology.com, Im due Dec 27. DH is hoping for a Dec 31st baby. That would be neat.

Now Im all in planning and getting things all set and Im only 3 weeks! Ha! We are planning on telling the parents next week and then the rest of the family at the 2nd tri mark.

cycle vent

Im not sure what the hell is going on with my cycle this month. I O'd (according to FF) on CD13. Im on CD31 and still no AF or + test. Last year this month I got my first BFP. Im kinda hoping I would get it again but no such luck this year as of right now.
B gets insurance back for us starting June 1. We are going to try naturally until then but if not, we are going to use our IVF we have through the insurance. There is a procedure they use to select good egg/sperm with no defects and implant those. Its just super expensive. I dont care as long as it works! We are looking for a nicer RE then who we had seen with my m/c. He just wasnt personable for us.

B and I are hoping for a BFP but we will settle for AF too. We just want to move on already!

In the past 2 years

I havent written in here in almost 2 years! WOW!
Lets recap...
Since March of 2009- I got laid off in April of 2009 and havent found employment since.
I decided to go back to school at the local community college and should be graduating this August (yay!).
In March of 2010, we found out we were going to have our first baby. I was due on Nov 9 2010. That came to a screeching holt on June 8 2010 when I went into the ultrasound office and the dr told me that we lost the baby. I had to be induced on June 11,2010. We are now trying for baby #1., pregnancy #2.
B has been laid off for most the 2 year span. Hes working on and off every few months.
We went on vacation to beautiful Colorado over this past Christmas/New Years. It was amazing!

i will miss you, Papa....

My brother called me last night around 830pm. He said that Papa was found dead in his apartment. It hasnt hit me yet. Im still trying to get the story from all my aunts and uncles but NO ONE IS ANSWERING THEIR PHONES! I went to work today thinking it would help me get my mind off of things and its so not. Im taking off the rest of the week. When B gets home we are picking my mom up and going to find the family.

Worst Monday EVER!

weekend recap

This weekend was nice. Friday B didnt get home til about 715 so we scratched the movies idea. We tried to decide what to do and we ended up just sitting in bed and watching tv. It was very relaxing.
Saturday I made B call his mom to wish her happy bday and see where she wanted to go to dinner. They ended up coming to our house so we made this huge sprawl of food. It was so good. I was proud of myself.
Sunday was a family baptism. It was nice. It was good to see family again.

Im excited for this weekend. We are going to see Mary Poppins!!!

So happy its FRIDAY!

Im so happy its Friday! This week has dragged on and on. Maybe because B hasnt been home til about 1030 every night. It sucks. Hes not working this weekend either! YAY!
We are having a little date night tonight. Im so excited. We are going to the movies and probably dinner too. I want to go see "I Love You, Man". Hes excited because its not a "chick flick".
I started the Thank You's from the wedding. Uh I got about 30 of them done. Only 90 or so to go! The dog was acting up last night so I had to stop. She just wanted to be loved all night. She curled up next to me and was good.
I watched the new show In The Motherhood. Its about real life moms stories. It was freakin hilarious, half of AI and Greys last night by myself. I was bawling at Greys. When dont I though.
Ive been craving mexican food like crazy this past week and a half. B thinks im pregnant. I laughed and hes said hed be super happy if we were but we werent planning on getting pregnant yet. Im either getting phantom symptoms of pregnancy or early pms signs. Its still WAY too early to tell. We will just have to wait and see.....

my car is fixed!

My car is fixed! Im so happy. Of course, it was a nice chunk of change to fix it but nonetheless, it had to be done. I liked taking off 2 days to get to sleep in and it felt nice. B told me that when Im pregnant I can be a SAHM! Im so excited about that! Woot!

B got into an accident yesterday morning. It wasnt his fault. Some drunk ass decided to cut across THREE lanes to turn left and he crossed Bs frint end and took out his tire. Great. What more do we need?! Oy.

I hope we get the tax money soon. Id like to book our vacation some time this century! My SD seems to be holding it for ransom. Well we know next year we are not going through him for it.

weekend recap

This weekend was nice.
Friday I went to B's parents for dinner and his uncle and a few close friends were there. B met me there since he worked late.
Saturday B worked in the AM and I lounged a bit then did some laundry. He was home by 1130 so we went out to lunch and BBB. We had bowling at night. Im so happy there are only 3 more left! Thank God. Its getting kinda boring. My S/D brought up that he wanted to take Bs tax return and use it to pay off the loan from our wedding. B almost flipped right then and there. We are using that money to go on our HM. If he takes it, then no HM for us.... He either wants all of it or half. We said we would do monthly payments and he said NO. Blah. Its fristrating. So I dont know where the HM sits now...
Sunday we lounged til about 11. Then we went to the mall to look (and play) with the iphones. We are getting them on April 15 when our Sprint contract is up. Im soo excited. Its a gift to each other as we tell each other. After we were done playing B dropped me off at church and me, his mom and her friend met another few friends and had girls day. It was very nice. We went to lunch and made jewelry. Very relaxing. B met us back at his moms later that night and we went to dinner with a friend of ours (she was at girls day too) and then came back to our house and watched Keeping Up With The Kardashians. It was a nice weekend all in all.
