16 Weeks!!!

Still hard to believe that I am 16 weeks pregnant with our little one. Boy are they being stubborn. In the last week I have had a scare with my heart and not to mention now have a cardiologist. Just after getting back to the car after my cardiologist appointment I felt 2 strong kicks. At first I wasn't sure what I was feeling and thought for a moment. Then felt a kick again. Knew that they were kicking. We had gone a couple of days where they would kick off and on in the evening until Christmas day. They didn't kick at all until I started looking at names (girls of course) thinking that hopefully I am right about my dreams and feelings. Every time I had said a name that they didn't like I was getting kicked. It was pretty funny.

Fast forward to last night. I started getting cramps and not sure as to why I was getting them. They had increased during the night so we called the OB's office to see what to do. I will be going in tomorrow morning bright and early. I am hoping for an ultrasound and maybe getting a sneak peek as to what we are having......I still can't wait to hold little one in my arms in just over 5-6 months. :)

Bringing from other Blog. Pregnant 14 Weeks!!!!!

I know that it has been a while since we have posted anything. The last 6 months have been hell on us. We lost my mom in July and the week after we find out we were pregnant with twins. At 10 weeks we lost them and had to have a D&C done. It was so heart breaking for us. I went in for my follow-up from the surgery and was told that I had healed and was surprised that I had my cycle restart on September 1st and that it was okay to start trying again if we felt ready to.

I was put back on Metformin 250 mg again for the PCOS. By the 25th of September I felt pretty crappy again and decided to take a pregnancy test thinking "Okay, it maybe early to take it but worth a shot." It came back negative. Thought maybe I will have my cycle on the first and that I would wait to see if I would start. On October 3rd still feeling crappy took the other test and it showed Positive!!! I started crying as I showed Matt the test. I called the on-call doctor and luckily for us it was my OB. He was surprised that we got pregnant so quickly after the miscarriage but was excited for us. He told me to call that Monday to set up a doctor appointment.

Matt and I decided not to tell our family until we were out of the trimester. We had our 1st appointment at 5 weeks and 5 days with ultrasound. We got to see the starting development of the baby. And we talked about what changes were needing to be done. The only change was getting put on a baby aspirin daily until I reach 34 weeks. Scheduled another ultrasound for the next week. I went to that appointment alone and completely nervous. I got to see the heart beating at 115 bpm and growing. So we had another one scheduled to make sure that we were developing as we should. At 7 weeks and 5 days Matt got to go with me. He got to see the baby and the heart beating. Matt about started crying when he got to hear the heart beating.

At 9 weeks after a weekend in pain we called in to the doctor's office concerned that we might be going through a miscarriage but was reassured when we saw the baby moving and the heart beating. But the pain was caused by a cyst that had popped. At our 11 week appointment the doctor tried to hear the heart beat through the doppler but the baby was being stubborn. So we went in for another ultrasound. Baby is measuring right on and the heart is strong.

We are now 14 weeks and excited about the baby and hearing the heart beat through the doppler on Friday when I went in for a bladder infection. I have been concerned with the weight loss since the Morning sickness had ended. Our doctor says as long as the baby is growing and developing it is okay for me to be losing weight. We can't wait till we find out what we are having. We have our appointment scheduled for January 5th, 2011. I have very strong feelings that we are having a girl.

To my little one

I have decided to start a blog of updates and little letters to our little one. It is a special time that I am carrying this precious little one and cannot wait to hold them in my arms. I really hope that I will continue to write once the baby arrives so they can see what their mom and dad were thinking and feeling during the pregnancy and while in the early years.
