A Blessing!

I just found out that my husband and I are expecting our fist baby! I'm so excited and feel like it's another blessing from God.

Last year I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome or PCOS. So for about a year and a half my periods were very irregular. Until this year that I began to get my period regularly with the exception of one month.

So this July when I skipped my period again I really didn't think anything of it. Until I saw that my breast had grown over night and I started to feel very nauseous. I was anxious to buy a pregnancy test but didn't want to get my hopes up and be let down again like the previous year.

But this time the test actually came out Positive!! My husband and I still can't believe it. I can't wait for all these months to go by, so I can hold my baby in my arms! I'm 7 weeks pregnant! Yay!

What Dr.'s Appointment?

I am currently 7 weeks pregnant, as soon as I found out that I was expecting I called for a mid-wife, unfortunately I was placed on a wait list.

So, I hurried up and called my family Dr. and the women on the phone first asked me if I was keeping the baby. I was stunned. Then she told me when the appointment was.

When I got off the phone and did the math I realized that I will be into my second trimester by the time that I have my first appointment. What am I to do? I sat at my desk at work and started to cry!! Damn hormones.

pregnant

I did artificial insemination and just found out today that I am 4 weeks pregnant. We have been trying for a while and it worked the first time we did it.

I am really interested now in what I am suppose to do and what to eat. We go back to the doctor on the 31st to have an ultra sound and to hear the heart beat. We are really looking forward to that.

i feel horrible!

I have a 2 yr old and a 3 yr old...and I was never sick with either of them...everything went so smoothly I vowed to have 7 kids since it was so easy! But heck no, not anymore.

I am now 7 weeks pregnant again and feel like pure hell...I understand all those women that complained now! I can't eat...but I am starving...I can't sleep but I am exhausted! My stomach won't quite just feeling uneasy and gross...no matter how I sit, lay or stand I feel miserable...

I vowed to my husband today...no more babies! However I am sure once I have my little baby I will forget about all this misery! I just can't wait to get that epidural and push!

3 under 3!

I am still in total shock! My husband and I have been married for 12 years and have one adopted daughter, who is 2y/o, from China. We were told we could conceive a biological child, but that it may be difficult. We adopted our daughter 2 years ago and will be getting our second baby girl from Guatemala this fall.

Well, I have been feeling horribly sick for the past few weeks. Although my period was late, I really didn't think anything of it because I had really increased my exercise regime. In addition to that, I was in the process of going off the medication paxil, which can cause flu-like symptoms. Finally, when my symptoms did not subside, we took a test and to make a long story short, we are 8 1/2 weeks along.

We have already seen our baby via ultrasound and heard its heartbeat. Wow! Here is the kicker! My due date is 2/19. My oldest child will be 2 1/2 and my middle child will turn 1 on 2/25! Yes, we are happy, but just a little overwhelmed!! Also, I have felt so badly that it is difficult to keep my head above water! I am exhausted, queasy, and starving, all at the same time!
