Well AF finally came to visit 6 weeks to the day of my m/c. I am feeling much better and hopeful. Like I mentioned before, I believe everything happens for a reason and all we can do is keeping moving forward. I take this as a life lesson. I feel I am a stronger person from all of this. I know my hubby and I are also closer. I am now on day 15 of my cycle. We have been BD quite frequently. I am not 100% sure of my ovulation day. Before I got preggos last time I charted my cycle and the days ranged from 31-35. The cycle before I got pregnant on was only 31 days. I have been trying to monitor cm. I really do not want to stress over getting pregnant right now. All we can do is try and when the time is right it will happen, being God `s will.

We just got a BFP two days in a row! I am so happy but also on the other hand I am very nervous. I will try and take it easy even though in the back of my mind I will always have that fear. To top it all off, Sat. I woke up feeling HORRIBLE! I had a fever, body aches, sore throat, etc. I went through the day hoping to feel better. It never happened. I went to an express care. Doc said does not look like strep throat but tonsils really swollen. Possibly a sinus infection. I did ask before he gave me my scripts if the meds would be okay just in case I was pregnant. He said yes. So here I am feeling horrible, not going to work today and trying to be excited about being preggos again. I am though :) ! please keep your fingers crossed for us and add us into your prayers that I carry this little blessing to term!!!

Well I have made it 8 weeks today!! I am feeling very nervous of course but taking it one day at a time! I am almost driving myself crazy checking my symptoms. I am really trying to relax though. I think I will feel better after my 1st appt. It is not for another 10 days though

Wednesday May 14th

Today I am 8 weeks 5 days. That is how far along I was when I m/c'd. Very scary and hard day, but really a relief! So far so good! Keep your fingers crossed for me! The good Lord might actually be getting tired of hearing me pray for the same thing over and over (along with counting my blessings)!

Friday May 16th

Wow! 9 weeks today!!! I can't wait until Monday when I have my first scan and appt. I am still nervous. i am sure I will feel better once I leave there! I am keeping my fingers crossed!

Tuesday May 20th

Had my 1st appt yesterday. All went well. We got to see our little peanut and the heartbeat. According to size and scan ( not my LMP) they changed the due date to Christmas Eve (12/24). I am not going to change it on my page yet. Neither one of my boys were born on their due date. They came into the world a little early. One was one week and the other was 4 days. Hopefully this one will come a little early too!

I have made it to 11 weeks! I really do not think it has completely sunk in yet that I am pregnant. I guess I am still a little hesitant. I do feel pregnant and actually my belly is bigger. I am showing much sooner than I did with my other two, much , much sooner actually. I think I will fee much better after my next appt., but it is not until June 17th. I am surprised I did not have an appointment sooner since I had the m/c in Feb. I guess if there was anything to worry about he would see me sooner. As each day passes I do become more excited. I just want to go out and buy things for our little one and spread the news. One more week and I make it to a safer zone with a decreased chance of a m/c. I also can not wait to tell our boys. They will be so excited. I just do not want to tell them too early and then make them go through all of that again. I continue to pray for a safe and complete pregnancy. I also pray for all of you out there expecting or trying! Good Luck and God Bless.

I had my 2nd appt. today. Truthfully I was really nervous. I also decided that I was not going to look at the scale anymore because there is nothing you can do about it while you are pregnant! I say this because I was not my ideal weight before I got pregnant. Anyway, it is not like I am trying not to gain weight or on the reverse side just eat whatever i want all the time. I am for the most part eating healthy as I should be. We try to do that as a family anyway (especially for the boys). Okay sorry about the rambling. While I giving a urine sample today the nurse went ahead and adjusted the scale while I was in the bathroom. When I came out she asked me to get on. The funny thing is that it did not move! So, she either started with my weight 4 weeks ago and guessed a few lbs up or I did not gain any weight at all. I did not look the last time so I do not remember what it said. Anyhow, I found it funny! To get to the rest of my appt.,,,,,,,,

Today was going to be the 1st day to be able to hear the heartbeat with the hand held. The docotor tried for what seemed to be FOREVER, but it was probably only a few minutes. He said you can usually hear it by now but sometimes not. My heart was pounding the whole time! He had me go across the hall to the u/s room and I weighted on the technician. Right away we saw baby and he/she was moving around like crazy for one thing and two she said the placenta was anterior and that makes it harder to hear the heart beat. I heard it with the u/s today though!! What a relief! She asked me if I wanted her to try and see if she could tell the sex. I said sure, but isn't it a little early? She said that sometimes you can tell or at least get an idea and it is usually confirmed later. Not definite though! She said it looks like a girl so far to her! She pointed out the very common two lines(for a girl). She also said there is a thing that usually points up/down, one direction for a girl and another for a boy. I don't remember which was which but that was another indication for a girl to her. I have been smiling ear to ear all day! Even if it turns out to be a boy I will be happy, I am just in relief that everything is good so far! She gave me two side profile pics, but I do not know if I will put them up because I am not sure how clear they will be. They are cute. I am already thinking baby has side profile of my oldest son. We will see. I go back in 4 weeks on July 15th!
