6 weeks today :)

Today we are six weeks pregnant! I am so happy we have made it though one more week, now only 34 more to go. haha That sounds like forever and ever away. This last week went by pretty quickly and was pretty uneventful. I am still having the same symptoms as the week before, exhaustion, sore boobs, gassy, and bloating. I have had only one urge to throw-up so far, after I ate two grapefruit. They were so yummy, but my tummy did not feel so well after. It seems like the mornings are a little more rough for me now, not that I have morning sickness, but more like the symptoms I do have are a lot worse.
We have our first ultrasound on Thursday, so I am really praying that this long weekend will help the time go by a little more quickly. I am also praying to see one healthy strong heartbeat I should be 6 weeks 4 days, so I do know it could be a little early still to not hear it. I feel like everything is going well, and I don't have anything to worry about. Ever since I found out I was pregnant it was like all the stress and worry went away. Don't get me wrong I still worry that something could be wrong but I don't seem to think about it much.
Here are two belly shots the one with the blue shirt was taken at 5 weeks and the one with the black shirt was taken today. Not much change yet, I have always had a little fluff around my belly. I actually think look smaller this week than I did last week.

5 weeks today!

So, today I am 5 weeks! It is still so hard from me to believe that I am pregnant. I don't think it will actually sink in until our first ultrasound where I can see my baby and hopefully hear it's little heart beating. So far, I have been feeling pretty good. I have been getting a lot more tired than normal. I am able to just fall asleep not too long after hitting the pillow. I also seem to sleep so much better, other than waking up every night to have to go pee. At least I have only had to wake up once a night. My boobs seem to be getting bigger and are still pretty sore. I haven't been to emotional or sick yet so that is a great news. I guess that sometimes doesn't hit until about six week, my fingers are crossed that I don't have any barfy moments.
I worry more and more it seems like that something may go wrong. I thing the excitement of just finding out has started to slowly take a backseat to the I hope everything is fine with the baby and I don't miscarry. I feel like everything is going so slowly and I will never make it to my second trimester. I just pray my baby stays safe and tucked inside for the next 8 months.

Well Its Official...

I am pregnant!!!!

I have been so tired to update, but here is the story:

So my birthday was on Tuesday May 18th and the day af would officially be late. So, I didn't want to have a horrible birthday I decided I would test the night before, so I could be sad about not being pregnant once again, that way I could be sad that night and have a good birthday. I went to the bathroom and peed on the test, set it on the tub and left the bathroom for about three minutes. When I came back to my surprise it was POSITIVE and I mean very positive. I first called my Mom and then my husband. My husband was in just about as much shock as I was. Just to make sure it wasn't a joke I drank about a cup of water and then took two more tests, and as soon as I set them down they were positive.
First thing in the morning I called the RE and let them know the good news. They had me come in and do a blood test to confirm the pregnancy. My first beta came back at 461 at 16dpo, which the nurse said was really good. I went again this morning for a repeat and the numbers doubled like they were supposed to and now are at 867 at 18dpo!
The nurse had me make an appointment for our first ultrasound. So, we get the first peek at baby J in two weeks! June 3rd at 10am. This next two weeks are going to drag on and on I just know it. It will most likely be worse the any other tww I have ever been through.

Now I guess I get to change this blog from ttc to a pregnancy blog. I am going to try to update at least once a week, and once I get further along I may add some belly pictures here and there.

yet another TWW...

Well yesterday we had our 6th and final IUI yesterday. If this last IUI cycle does not result in a pregnancy we will be moving to IVF, I don't know if I am happy, sad or mad about this but I decided I will deal with that if and when it comes down to it. I am staying hopeful for this cycle, after all it is only 1 dpo. We did the same meds we did last cycle: 2.5mg of Femara, 75iu of Follistim and 75iu of Menopour. I went for my Follical check on cd 10 and to our amuzment I had a whole lot of follies growing. On my right ovary I had a 20, 20, 15, 13, 12 and on the left there was a 14, 12, and 10 and my lining was 8mm. This has been by far the best results so far. I was ready to trigger that night! We then went for our IUI on Sunday. The IUI went well too, DH had 38.7 million swimmers after the wash so not too bad. Hopefully one of those little guys or girls finds one of those nice big ripe eggs. I am so ready to be a Mama. I have a good feeling about this cycle and ready for things to turn around and start working with me instead of against me.
We are going to California this weekend to visit my family, so I am hoping its a nice relaxing time and will help the tww speed by a tad quicker. I am hoping I have some good news to share with everyone in two weeks. Oh and my test day is two days before my 27th birthday, so what a wonderful birthday gift that would be.
