Still Pregnant...

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.
