Pregnancy Update

Ok.....I have not updated my blog in forever. I just run out of time and forget all about it. Anyway, just wanted to let everyone know how the pregnancy is going. I'm 26 1/2 weeks now. We found out at 17 weeks that we are having a little girl. Of course Justin is thrilled. He thinks she will be a daddy's girl. We are so excited about her arrival. Time is fliying by...she will be here in 3 more months which seems crazy to me. We got her bed 2 weeks ago and it is set up. It is the most beautiful bed i have ever seen. I'm having her bedding custom made so I won't have it for a little bit still but I can tell you it is SO cute. Thanks to my sis-n-law who gave me the website for the bedding!! I can also tell you that she will styling with all the clothes she has already gotten. The poor child will have to wear 3 outfits a day to go through all of them...lol! Now we only have 13 weeks left which seems so strange. She is moving all the time and sometimes keeps me up at night from kicking me. Justin loves to feel her move but everytime he tries to catch her moving she is so still it is funny. He has felt her a lot though. Pregnancy is the neatest thing in the world. After i got past my sick stage it has been so much fun. I'm also doing good on the weight gain. I didn't gain much at all at first so it kind of just started growing more the past few weeks. Luckily all the weight i have gained is just in my stomach. I have kept my excercise routine so i'm sure that has helped a lot! I will try to get some pics up of my belly and of the bed. I will also try to keep you more updated.
Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend!!

Love,

First Apt in Searcy-9 weeks 1 day

Today we had our first appointment with Dr. Williams in Searcy. I got released from the fertility clinic 2 weeks ago yesterday. Today I had another ultra sound and everything looked GREAT! I can now start to excercise again......it has been 7 weeks. I also heard the heart beat and it was 182. The baby was moving around a lot today. I could see his/her little arms and legs just a moving. It was so cute. Justin and I are so happy and blessed to be pregnant with this little one. I can't wait to meet him or her. My due date is November 10th and it will be here before we know it. I don't have to go back to the dr until May 6th which seems forever away when you are use to going to the dr every week and sometimes more then once a week. I will have to adjust to not having an ultra sound every week....lol! I have had one at 6,7,8 and 9 weeks so far. Now I won't have one until 17 weeks when we find out what we are having. Justin is so anxious to know already. He is so excited. My nausea just started Monday. I have been feeling great up until that point. I feel good off and on but I do feel queasy most of the day!!! I will keep you informed of what is going on from week to week! Have a wonderful week!!!

Love to all,

7 week update

Justin and I got to hear the heartbeat of our baby this past Tuesday (March 24, 2009). It was the most releiving thing ever. We have been through a lot the past few weeks and that is what we needed to hear. God has truly blessed us and we are the 2 happiest people in the world. God is so awesome!! I'm 7 weeks pregnant and so far everything is going good. I am still a high risk for miscarriage but we truly believe that everything will work out. Thanks for all the prayers and thoughts. They have truly payed off. We will keep you updated.

Status on where we stand with our In Vitro Cycle

Justin and I have been struggling with infertility for about a year now. We underwent In Vitro on February 20th. We transferred 2 embryos. On March 3rd we received the news we were hoping for.....it was a positive test. My HCG was 51 which is a low normal. When I went back on Thursday, March 5th my numbers had only gone up a little....56. Lauren....one of our favorite nurses called and said that something wasn't right and I would miscarry. This was some of the worse news we have ever received. We were so excited and then in 2 days the excitement was taken from us. I'm doing much better with the news now and we will try again in May. I still have not miscarried and I will be 5 weeks Tuesday. This is the hardest part of it all. I go back to the dr tomorrow morning to see if my numbers have started going down. Please keep Justin and I in your prayers.....this is such a hard time for us but we know God has a plan for us and one day will bless us with a precious baby.
