Its been a while...
I can't believe how bad I've been at updating...
I can't even say that I was busy... because honestly I haven't been...
I haven't felt well enough to be busy...
I have been sleeping... alot... and lately eating ...alot... and still sick.... alot ....

But the good news is that I am still pregnant!!!
15 weeks today!
I've been feeling a little bit of movement... not all day everyday... but I'm starting to feel it more and more often... which is exciting!!

Ultrasound

Heartbeat was 188bpm
everything looks good!

Ultrasound

My first ultrasound is in Three days...
After that we will be announcing to the world that we are expecting again...
there are a handfull of people that know, but the big announcement will be coming sometime next week...

:)

1st Appt.

I had my first prenatal appointment today...
It was rather boring, and uneventful...
I got to talk to the doctor for a good bit.. I really love her...
She told me that I should quit working with momma for the duration of the pregnancy...t...
I got a pap smear, and blood work, and a urine sample... she checked the position of my cervix and uterus... just the normal first appointment stuff...

I got my nifty list of "Safe OTC medications" and all the other things that come in the goody bag...

I go back on May 12th for my next appointment, but she's awesome and got me in for an ultrasound next Tuesday!!

We think once we see the heartbeat, we will start telling everyone, but we aren't positive yet...

I'm hungry

that's about it...

nearly six weeks

I can't believe I'm nearly six weeks pregnant...

The fatigue seemed to hit hard today... however the nausea was better... so that was nice...

I'm not finding it amusing that my pants are already too tight... especially since I've actually lost weight...

I'm a little scattered brain (I know what's new? lol)

I got Mike to take out my old maternity clothes (They were in the attic)I was really surprised to see that I have so much that I'll be able to use for work... that was a nice surprise.... I won't have to buy much actually so yay!!

We took a walk after supper tonight... it was nice...

I guess that's really about it.... We are watching t.v. so I guess i'm going to go...

too soon

I'm so nauseated... I've lost weight... I have very little appetite... yet my pants are still too tight...
I don't get it...

I have a couple of pair of work pants that are identical... except for color just because I like the way they fit...

I wore a pair monday and noticed that they felt a little tighter... but not tooo bad..

Today... I could hardly breathe they were so tight... my poor belly has marks all over it from where the pants were digging in...

Its too early for that isn't it?
I'm 5 weeks today!

--------------------------

I'm very excited and really looking forward to this baby's arrival... I can't wait to start telling people...
We actually told a close friend today and he thinks its a huge April Fool's joke... lol

I'm really looking forward to telling Austin... he's been telling me for a little while that he wants a baby sister, and "maybe we can buy one"...

I'm hoping I can give him a baby sister... but boy or girl, I'll be thrilled.... :)

For now I'm really enjoying this special secret that I'm sharing with my husband... its kind of sweet...


-----------------------------

I've noticed that my nausea has beene much worse this time... With Austin I had a handfull of times where I was really nauseated.... this has been all day every day...that's the only really bad thing though, I feel great... I'm a little tired, but its not too bad... I'm hungry a lot... I pee alot... and my breasts are tender.... but I feel great!

---------------------

I guess that's about it...

SURPRISE!

Can you believe it?

This was our second cycle... I was so sure that I wasn't pregnant... I just knew that there was no way that this was our month....

I took the test yesterday... I was 5 days late...

I've been having a bit of nausea, and my breasts feel fuller and are very sore... other than that, I feel great!

According to my LMP my EDD is December 2, 2009.

Our family doesn't know yet, and I'm sure once they read this blog (eventually I'll tell them about it) they will not be very happy that we kept it from them...

I made my first apppointment today, I'll be going in on April 21st at 8:30 am... that seems really far away to me, but I know that time will fly...

On-Time

Well, I am pleased to say that AF has made her appearance today...
I'm only pleased because that means that the Metformin is working...

AF was exactly on time this cycle...

That just seems promising to me...

I'm eagerly awaiting AF's departure so we can get back to baby dancing... but I am thankful for the arrival...

Update

We moved, and I haven't been able to get the internet working at home until last night...
So I figure I really need to update about where we are on our journey...

We are oficially TTC...
I had my IUD removed on January 26th and AF showed up on January 29th...

My OBGYN thinks that things should go pretty smoothly, she has me on Metformin 1500mg...
right now I'm only taking 750mg ... I am trying to ease myself back on because those of you who have taken it in the past know just what it can do to your tummy.... but good news is that in the past when I was taking it, 500mg had my cycle pretty regular... so 1500mg should be great...

I guess that's about it...

Some concerns

I really want to have a baby...
I can't be much happier that I am scheduled to have my IUD removed... and I am so unbelienably happy that we are going to be trying to get pregnant...

I'm just a little nervous...
I'm worried about my health...
I really want to try to loose some more weight...
And then the PCOS scares me...
I don't want to be one of these women who try for years to have baby...
I am so thankful for the little boy I have... and I'll be thrilled to have another little one...
I am also worried about the insulin resistance...
I don't know what kind of trouble I am going to have there...

One step closer

Well, I made the appointment to have the IUD removed.
I am going in on the 9th....
unless we are closing on the house... Then I 'll have to reschedule...
I was really hoping that I could go in tomorrow and have it done since I'm already off work, but there were no openings... so I got a late afternoon appointment, I'll just have to leave work a little early to take care of it...

but we are one step closer to our new baby...
