11 Weeks

I have hit the 11 week mark. Things are slowly getting better. Expect the part where I have to get up in the middle of the night to pee. I still have my days where I feel like crap but like Seth said, lately I've had more good days then bad. Just hope it stays that way. I think I maybe showing a little, but I can't figure out if I'm just bloated or what. We are almost at the 2nd trimester. Two more weeks! Very exciting!
I have been eating a lot more then just apples and bananas. I've been eating real food. YAY! LOL!! I have had a real sweet tooth but I've always had a pretty good sweet tooth. The wives tales say that when you crave sweets during pregnancy then it'll be a girl but I do crave a nice juicy steak and hamburger. I think I crave everything! LOL!!
We had to reschedule our doctors appointment to April 1st for stupid insurance reasons. I'll be 12 weeks then. Seth and I are crossing our fingers hoping they'll do an ultra sound or just let us hear the heartbeat or something. If they do, I can't wait to see Seth's face. It'll just be so wonderful. Seth is planning on going, his mother and maybe my sister in-law(Aunt Amanda). Maybe some other people too, who knows. LOL!!! The more the merrier, I say.

I'm so ready to do some shopping! We're planning on remodeling one of our bedrooms for the nursery. Hopefully we'll get it done soon and not wait until the last minute. My husband is the kind of guy that likes to wait and wait and wait. Hopefully this won't be one of those situations.

I'll be updating after our appointment on the 1st.

Here's a 11 week belly picture.

Oh joy to morning sickness

It has been a pretty crappy couple of weeks. Morning sickness has roared its ugly head! I have been constantly nauseated. I've been eating a lot of bananas, apples, jell-0. I haven't had much of an appetite for anything else. Every once in a while I can eat a good dinner but usually I make my husband dinner and I have to make something else for me. Tell you what though this baby is hungry all the time. I'm sure he/she is getting tired of eating just apples and bananas. It wants a yummy hamburger or a juicy steak.
Sometimes I can't even make dinner, just looking at food makes me feel yucky.
I haven't gotten sick and I hope I never do. I have gagged a few times so mostly just nausea.
I hope this feeling goes away soon so I can enjoy this pregnancy. I have been pretty miserable. I stay home and lay in bed all day. I don't feel like me anymore! but I know it'll all be worth it at the end.
Yesterday was probably my best day so far. I actually ate some real food. I still felt nauseated a few times but it passed. I bought some preggie pops and ginger candies. I love the preggie pops they seem to do the trick pretty well. I haven't tried the ginger candies yet though.
I sleep very well at night. I have been finding myself going to bed around 10 or 11 and sleeping all night long. I usually fall asleep pretty quick too. Which I could never do. Usually took me an hour or two to finally pass out.
I have been taking belly pictures every week. There isn't much change yet, just want to take them to show how much I have changed week by week. Thought it would be a good idea.
Seth has been awesome through all of this. He gets me whatever I need. Tells me everything will be alright. He told me the other day that he loves me even more because I'm going through all of this morning sickness for his baby. So sweet! I love that man so much!!

First Doctors Appointment

My first doctors appointment is on March 6th at 2:45. Seth and I are super excited!!! Even though they probably won't be doing an ultrasound. Just a lot of testing and answering questions. Tomorrow I will be 5 weeks along. I feel about the same, I get some nausea, acne, very tired, cravings and peeing all the time. but hey... that's alright! It'll be all worth it at the end! I just can't wait until our little grain of rice turns into an actual human. I hope he/she will be as healthy as can be. I hope that Seth and I will be great parents. I hope we can raise him/her how to be a wonderful, caring person.
I have done some of these predictions to determine if it will be a boy or girl. I know it's probably not very accurate. But they all say I'm having a boy. But we will see in like 20 weeks or so! Everything seems so far away. The days seem to not end as quickly as they should!

WE'RE PREGNANT!!!

At 2:25PM on February 1st we got our 1st positive pregnancy test!! I was in total shock! After all of this time we are finally pregnant!! I took the test, I looked at it for a few seconds and the 1st line was showing up then there was a 2nd line! I really wanted to surprise Seth with a card or a t-shirt but I could NOT help myself. He was sitting in the living, I went over to him and said... "I think I might be pregnant!" He came in the bathroom and looked at the test. I was crying, shaking and saying "OH MY GOSH, OH MY GOSH!" LOL!!! I couldn't tell you the look he had on his face. We hugged each other forever!
I totally had to tell Seth's parents. It was very hard to keep it from them for as long as I did. Which was an hour or 2. LOL!
We put the pregnancy test in a box to surprise them. We got over there around 5. It was ABSOLUTELY the best thing ever!!!! LOL!!! We took a video of mom's reaction! It was priceless!!

I'm going to call the doctor tomorrow and see if I can get in sometime this week.

I OVULATED!!!!!

Today I heard back from the doctor about my blood test. I was told that...
I OVULATED!!!! :o) I am SO incredibly happy.
This doesn't mean that I am pregnant. BUT.. there is a VERY, VERY good chance that I am. My doctor told me that if I don't start my period by CD35 (I am on CD23 today) then I need to take a home pregnancy test. But if I do start my period then I need to start this whole thing over again. :o( I would be on 100mg again, since I ovulated with that. So lets hope that aunt flow doesn't come!!!!
This may sound stupid but I feel pregnant, it's just a weird feeling that I have throughout my whole body. I feel different. I don't know... LOL!!
Well...We just have to sit back and wait.
Which I absolutely hate! I am NOT a very patient person... AT ALL!!! This will probably be the longest and hardest week in a half to 2 weeks of my life!!

Please, Please pray for us!!!

Doctors Appointment

I had my doctors appointment today. It went good. My doctor checked me for cysts, and I don't have any. She said the higher dosage I go taking Clomid the more of a chance is that I will get cysts.. so I hope this will be the last month. After that I went upstairs to get my blood taken so they can check my progesterone to see if I ovulated or not. I will hopefully found out the results on Thursday.

Hope for the best!!!

2nd Round of Clomid

well I am on another round of Clomid, 100mg. My 2nd month. I started it January 8th. I am on CD (Cycle Day) 12 right now. This round is the same as last month. CD 3-7 take clomid. CD 14-21 baby making time. CD 21 my doctors appointment. Which is January 26th at 4:30. They will do the same as last month. Check me for cysts and take a blood test to check my progesterone level to see if I ovulated or not. I am hoping that we won't have to wait until next week again to find out the results, I hope to find out that same week but we will see.

I have found this most wonderful website. http://www.fertilityties.com/. It's a site where woman talk about their journeys through taking fertility drugs, going through fertility problems, getting pregnant, miscarriages...so on and so forth. It's incredible to see some of these women's stories. A lot of them have been through so much and still going strong. It's very inspiring! Its also nice to know that I am not alone. Other people are going through the exact same thing I am. A lot of them have gotten pregnant and some have not, yet. I totally recommend this site!

Anyway!



Cross your fingers and pray for us!
