O yea my blog, that thing I forgot about!

It deserves an update!

The week we found out
Was also christmas week. We were shocked, amazed, grateful, cautious, happy etc etc etc. After a first great beta of 319 @ 15dpIUI we decided we would tell our family. We know that the road is long and whatever may be may be and thought that IF anything happened to our precious baby bear, we wanted all the support we could get. So we told them.

My mom was first on X mas eve. She received a silver frame that said " When a child is born, so is a Grandmother" I also added my own little poem that said

Dear Grandma,
Roses are Red
Violets are Blue
In August 2011
Ill be seeing 
YOU!


Her initial response was a mirage of "O MY GOD O MY GOD O MY GOD" mixed in with tears.

Next C's family found out on Christmas. We purchased a frame that said Nana on it for C's grandmother and wrote on the paper inside

Great Grandchild #14 Coming in August 2011


As for C's parents, they got this little onsie.

At first they didn't get it. They thought it was for my sister in laws baby who was just born. Until C said it wasn't for him that they got it. We got a lot of hugs and congrats and that they would all like a girl. =)

I finally got my second beta back from yesterdays blood work. It came back as 2221! Whooo hoo!

Its time..

On Sunday night I told C that my plan had been to wait until Wednesday to test here at home and then get a beta done. Well I realized that IF AF was on her way, the progesterone was stopping her a bit and she would be late any way. So I said " Im going to test Monday morning and see what happens"..

Monday Morning
I get up out of bed, one eye open and grab the pee stick. I stumble into the bathroom, pee on it and set it on the back part of the counter and start my timer. I proceed to wash my face, do my hair and then look down at the timer. O its been 3 1/2 mins, I can look. Before I looked at the stick I braced my self for what I was so accustomed to, nothing. I took a few deep breathes and grabbed the stick.....

2.PINK.LINES.HOLY.SHIT.IM.PREGNANT!

I started to shake and cry. Who knew that a second pink line could do all that to a person. Who knew that the second pink line would make me feel like I never had before. I had no idea what to do. So I run to the room pick up the phone and call C. The convo went like this.

" Hi baby what are you doing?" Mind you I sound like im crying
"Nothing just throwing some stuff away"
"Umm..baby...we did it"
"What?"
"Im pregnant!"
"NICE!!!" She said something after that but for the life of me I can not remember.

So on my lunch on Monday I went in to have the blood work done. They were supposed to do an inital test and if it came back positive ( which it did) they were to run to get #'s. They didnt. So I had to go in on Wednesday for MORE blood work and got the numbers this morning.

319 baby! RN said numbers look great and I got the run down of what I can eat and drink. No tap water, no king swordfish, only some tuna and all the meat I want. (Yuck!) I go in tomorrow for another beta and get results on Monday. Also we should have our first ultrasound on either Thursday or Friday to hopefully see the baby bears heartbeat. We are still in disbelief.

** To My In real life friends. Please please please please please do not say anything on FB. You may text me if youd like. We are not out of the woods yet and will not be telling everyone until late Feb. Thanks!**

13 dpIUI

Snappy, Snarky, bitchy and Pissed Off. No apparent reason just feel annoyed with people. Everyday with no sign of AF is a good day though, even if I think this bitchyness is from PMS. I still have the sharp pain every once in a while and I have to wash my face 2x to get the oil off, thanks Progesterone I really appreciate it.

12 dpIUI

Cramping but feels different sort of in my cervix, semi sharp and only lasts for a quick second. I've also noticed that my face is so oily(yuck) and I have so much ear wax (double yuck!). Nausea this morning but I think its from all the OJ ive been drinking. I cant believe its already 13 dpIUI!

10 & 11 dpIUI

It was nothing new. Same random cramping and a bit of the SVP. Although the last 2 days I have noticed an increase in Watery CM and today EWCM. Not sure if that is a s/e of the prog sups. or not...

9 dpIUI and A new baby in the family

I dont even really remember yesterday. It was such a jumble of things and in the end we found our selves in the hospital waiting for our godson to be born. I do remember I had some cramping and started to get the SVP pain again but other then that, I cant remember.

I will post pictures of the little 7lb1oz 18in man in a few days. He is just precious...

8 dpIUI

I hate life. See below post. I have gas, my stomach has cramps and the million sit up pains, im tired and I noticed that I am breaking out like a teenager =(
 I hate Progesterone! Hate it Hate it Hate it!

Ive also noticed that last time I had weird pains, The SVP (Shooting Vagina Pain) and this time its the MSUP, Million Sit Up Pain.

I can't wait to go to sleep tonight.
