Everyday that I am still pregnant is a good day. It is amazing how different this pregnancy is from my last. I was so oblivious last time and I guess I could say happy. I now, unfortunately, don't have that luxury. Don't get me wrong, I am happy and get happier everyday, but more than anything I am scared. I will continue to be scared until I get a scan and see our baby and our baby's beating heart. Then, I hope I am able to relax alittle. Loss really sucks and you never really get over it.
So...I am 5 weeks + 5 days today. I called last week to get a doctor's appointment and they won't see me until I am 8 weeks. So, I have an appointment for Feb. 23. It seems like forever, but the good news is that I am getting a scan that day. I did not want to wait until 11 or 12 weeks this time. So, I have like 20 days....I know, what do I do until then? I guess I try to do what is right for our baby and just be pregnant and pray for the best.
I have quite a few symptoms, but no morning sickness yet (knock on wood!). My breasts get more sore every day. I really like that one, because it is a constant reminder that I am pregnant. Other than that, I am peeing every couple of hours, can't sleep more than 3 hours at a time, heartburn, and moodiness. Robert said to add the moodiness....I hadn't noticed...lol.
So we are just waiting and hoping for the best. If anyone out there ever reads this, please pray, we need it. I will write more later.

I am Pregnant....
I took a pregnancy test this evening and it was positive. I am still pretty much in shock....but it is starting to sink in alittle bit. I never thought that it could happen so quickly. I am so excited! I am also nervous. I had a missed miscarriage in the fall of 2008 at 11 weeks. I pray that everything goes well this time and that we finally get our family. I am so grateful and excited. I wish that they had commercials for Vitex, because I could be their spokesperson. I think everyone should know about this miracle herb! I wish I had known about it long ago. I can't believe that it worked the 1st cycle. So, Yay! I get to start my pregnancy blog. It will be super fun!

Yes, I ovulated this cycle!
I am so excited right now! I have been charting my bbt Fertilityfriend.com for months and I have not ovulated. This month I did on cycle day 21, which is just about right since my cycles usually run 37 to 40 days. I just couldn't believe it when I saw it and just starred at it for a while. I know I am a dork...lol. I can't keep from thinking that maybe this is "the" month. I know, I know....getting my hopes up is not the best idea, but I can't help it. Robert and I just happened to BD on the right day by chance. We will just have to wait and see what happens. I really needed something good to happen.
I don't know if it is just a coincidence or not, but I did start taking Vitex this cycle. I have been praying the whole time, but at the same time trying not to get my hopes up. Maybe it worked. Maybe it is a miracle? I will update you later in the month. Bye for now.

My name is Danielle
This is my very first blog. I am not really sure why I am doing this and I am even more sure that no one will want to read it. I was inspired to start this blog by a wonderful person who has helped me though so much and she doesn't even know it. Her name is Racheous and I am eternally thankful.
I guess I can start out with alittle about me. My name is Danielle and I am 32 years old. It is hard to believe that I am so very old, but I am. I am not sure when it happened...lol. I have a wonderful husband, Robert, and we have been together for three years and married a little over a year. As for where we live, it is complicated. As of this moment, I am in McCurtain, OK at my mother in law's house. Robert is an industrial welder and we travel for his work for most of the year. So our "home" has been many motel rooms over the years. I really like traveling, although it can be lonely. It is hard to make friends when you are in a new town every month.
Our road to happiness has been a bumpy one. This blog will document our lives. I haven't had a journal or a diary since I was a kid, but I think it would be helpful for me. I have had a lot of difficult things to deal with in the last year and a half. The most difficult, by far, is having a missed miscarriage at 12 weeks in the latter part of last year. That is when I found Racheous. I found her vlog on youtube by doing a google search for "missed miscarriage". Every word she was saying was exactly what I was feeling. And although, I do not know her, just knowing someone out there was feeling exactly like me made me feel better. I have followed her vlog since then and if she ever reads this, I want her to know how grateful I am that she shared her story.
So....Robert and I have been trying to conceive again most of this year with no luck. My cycles are long and I don't always ovulate. I have been charting for a couple of months trying to understand what my body is doing. This week I have started to try a herbal supplement called Vitex. It is suppose to regulate my cycle, encourage ovulation, and basically just be a miracle. We will see. I can't wait to see if it works. I will let you know.
That is all I can think of to talk about for now. I will try to come back often and update. If someone is out there reading this and wants to ask a question or just comment it would be great.
