My name is Amy. I've been visiting this site (obsessively) since my first pregnancy this past fall. We miscarried on November 4th, 2007 and just found out at the end of April we are expecting again!! (YAHOO!!!!)

We've been married for almost 6 years and my hubby has a son who is 12. He lives with his mom and we see him on weekends ~ he is a great kid who we would love to see so much more of. My husband is an amazing father, and a phenomenal husband ~ truly my soul mate. I'm so blessed to have him.

(I've rearranged again....the first pregnancy and ttc journey is in the blog section and pregnancy journal will be here with the newest dates first!)





May 12, 2008 7 weeks, 4 days: Good news! My levels were checked again today....I've read two ranges. One says the #''s should be between 7,600 and 229,000 ( big range!!) and the other source says they should be between 54,000 and 102,500. Either way we're good b/c my number today was 99,053. A steady move upwards, which is great. I'm feeling nauseated on and off, especially if i wait to long to eat. Otherwise pretty good. Work is exhausting though - i'll tell you that much. i slept all weekend ( i mean like four hour naps every day of the weekend!) and feel ready to crash by 7 pm each night. Whew. Well, this Thursday will be 8 weeks - two months already. At the 10-11 week mark we'll go to see the midwife to hear the heartbeat. The little heart is beating away already but it's too small to hear with doppler. So for now, we wait....and eat! : )

May 2nd, 2008 6weeks, 2 days
Because of my first m/c due to a blighted ovum I'm going to get a blood draw today - my midwife wrote a standing order (to "keep my head in good health" as she put it). If things are developing well then the HCG levels should be between 5,000 and 20,000. i'm curious to see. not feeling stressed or anxious but definitely curious. starting to have little waves of nausea. i'm noticing it the most if i don't eat frequently. also, a super powerful gag reflex when i brush my teeth in the morning. i'll take it all and more if it means i'm going to have a strong, healthy pregnancy!
p.s got my HCG levels today - 25,622 @6w, 2d - lookin' good!!!!!!!


May 1st, 2008 6 weeks

TESTED YESTERDAY ~ BFP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WWWWOOOOOHHHHHHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

The results window showed a dark blue line before the control window even began to turn! My boobs had been sore for days. I was putting off testing b/c we were sooo tired of being dissapointed but it must have worked to just relax because here we are!

My hubby jumped out of bed and swung me around - what a blessing to have him so fully excited and ready for us to do this together. We are just so, so, so excited and ready for this baby!!!

THANK YOU JESUS FOR THIS GIFT OF LIFE!!!!




How`s my pregnancy doing?

Ourlittlehogi...I have miscarried twice in the last year and this is my third pregnancy in a year. I am also due on Christmas Day. I lost the first baby last July and the last baby in March and got pregnanct again before I had another period. I am in prayer constantly about this one and I believe this is going to be the one. Good luck to you.

They say there is such a wide spectrum of normal for HCG tests that you can't tell by the number, but it looks like you have a steady rise- which is GREAT. You'll feel much better once you hear the heartbeat- have you asked if there's any way for them to expedite that? I saw mine at 6 weeks, 1 day, because my mind was going crazy. I know it's hard once you've had a loss! I too had a m/c in November and am now pregnant again and due in December. What a coincidence!
Congratulations!!!


krhayes - Monday, 12 May
thank you! It's hard when they just don't get everything we are feeling. I'm going to try to talk to him instead of argueing like we do when it comes to this stuff. AGH- why can't they just understand. Love your pic of Jesus!

the sunblock will keep as long as the lotion u use will, or if using the lotion recipe - the emulsifier will determine its shelf life, but most bees wax has a 1/2 life of 7-10 years, so I don't think u have to worry, just make sure you are buying the freshest beeswax youcan find.

billbo - Thursday, 1 May
big congratulatiosn to you ont he pregnancy! well done hun:D xxxx


TexasMommyWannaBe - Thursday, 1 May
Hey! Congratulations on the BFP!! I can totally relate to you about losing a little one.. :( I had a m/c at 20 weeks in December. It was extremely hard. You were lucky at least you could name your baby and know the sex; our baby was so sick that the doctor said they could not even tell the sex. That makes my heart so sad... but it is all meant to be. We will try again! I think AF is coming tomorrow!! :( But we shall see. Good luck to you! :)


Rebekahs-mama - Thursday, 1 May
Congratulations on your pregnancy! That's SO wonderful for you and your husband!!!


jamie - Friday, 4 April
We feel like we tried to take it into our own hands . insteand of just having sex to be with one another we made it all about making a baby. We would have sex everyday of my fertile time and that would be it. Im just waiting for the day that its right, not forced. When we actually desire to be with eachother not to make a baby but to be with eachother and Im fertile. Im not even gonna pay attention anymore which is going to be hard considering how much I know about fertility. Im not going to pay any attention to dates, cm, cp,or temps. We had two healthy babys this way so it works. We are just going to resume our relationship as it was before ttc, but not prevent it. No bc, no pull-out. well see how long it takes to get pg this way!!!


twinboys - Wednesday, 26 Mar
thank you for your post on my page. I just read yours and I am so sorry for your loss that you experienced last year. Katherine Rose is such a beautiful name. I am glad to hear you are trusting in god as there is a plan for everything. When we had our loss almost two years ago i was devasted, and it was very difficult getting pregnant but here we are and god blessed us with twins. So I pray god will give yout he strentgh you need and bless you with a baby in the near future. the whole ' getting pregnant' thing can make be shear madness...at least it was for me!


andante - Tuesday, 25 Mar
Thank you for your encouragement! I will admit, I have some fears, but they're normal and if I can get over this sickness I will be happy and confident again. I think it might be a good thing to put all the TTC stuff away for a while. It is SO stressful trying to pinpoint it and being so scientific about the whole thing - it really takes the magic out of conception and BDing, doesn't it? I hope that you are able to resume living your normal life at least for a while and that He blesses you with a healthy child soon.


jamie - Thursday, 20 Mar
I really had talked myself out of wanting another child. I said if i didnt get pg this cycle I was done. This is not the ideal time but when is it ever. At least we know what were getting ourselves into this time. We know the work ahead of us. God willing this will be a blessing. Have you tried ordering the opk strips online, to help you know when you are ovulating? I used them the past couple of months. But honestly I guess God didnt want me to give up. What I did differently last month was: I stopped caring as much, I temped at different times everyday, and didnt worry about bd every day during the fertile time...W did it 2 days before o, and the day after....my husband had to plow a major snow storm during o!! so I just kinda gave up--I figured if God wants me to be pg, I'll be pg.....I stoped trying to control so much..I hope you and your husband the best good luck ttc!!
