9 weeks

I am 9 weeks and 1 day today!! I had a Dr's appointment yesterday and the Dr decided to use my original due date!!! She did another ultrasound yesterday and I did get to see the baby and its perfect heartbeat!! I asked the Dr when I can breath easy and she said everything looks great and seeing the heartbeat at 9 weeks there is only a less than 5% chance of a miscarriage so, I decided to tell everyone and not keep it a secret anymore! I have still been pretty sick so the medication they gave me has definitely become a life saver!! We are so excited!! I only have a couple more weeks until I am done with the first trimester!!

As for Princess Carson, she has had a very lazy summer so far. She did do vacation bible school with church for 4 days but that is pretty much it! I kind of feel bad that she is stuck around the house with me everyday but hopefully I will start feeling better soon and we can start doing some fun stuff! She just seems so old to me. I started thinking about her as a baby and I can barely remember! Time has definitely gone by too fast! My baby is definitely not a baby anymore! She is hands down the funniest person I know! She says things that make Scott and I laugh out loud! She is so beautiful inside and out and she has such a big heart. I am so proud of her and am sad that she is getting so big. Carson starts pre-kindergarden in the fall and I cant believe it. She will go 5 days a week and I have no idea what I will do with myself during that time!! I have a bunch of pictures from 4Th of July weekend at the beach that I will send out soon! But she did say 2 things while we were out of town that I thought were so funny. The first was, "Daddies are for lovin that's just what they re for" and "even though I'm almost an adult I still love my starbright" She is so funny!!
Well, that's all for now. My next Dr's appointment is in 4 weeks but I'm sure I will update on miss diva before then!!

8 week ultrasound

So, today I had my 8 week ulrasound. I woke up this morning so nervous and I wasnt sure I would be able to wait until my 1:20 appointment! Carson and I got ready and headed to Jen and Blakes to hang with Jen and "baby Kyle". That definitly helped pass the time and to keep me calmer! Jen and Kyle came with me to the dr just in case something went wrong. So, poor Jen was stuck with the 2 wild girls in the waiting room! I finally got to the ultrasound room and found out that our baby was growing and had a strong and healthy heartbeat! What a relief. I cant even begin to describe the emotions I felt. It is still early and we have about 3 more weeks she said until we can really stop worrying. But I decided at the very beginning of this to leave it all up to God and to "TRY" to not worry. I haven't done a great job of that, but after today I think I will do better! The Doctor did change my due date to February 26Th. Because of all my issues our original due date was sort of a guess so now according to the 3 ultrasounds we have had they are pretty sure we are actually about 4 days behind what we had thought. So, I am totally excited and am starting to believe this may actually happen! I have really tried to not say too much to Carson in case something goes wrong but today she wanted to see the ultrasound pictures so I showed her the arm buds and the skull. she is so excited to be a big sister. I am so proud of the person that Carson has become. She is so smart and so caring and really just enjoys life and for the most part has a lot of fun! Sometimes I am jealous of how care free she gets to be! She will be such a great help and big sister and I cannot wait to see these 2 grow up together!! Well, that's all I really have for today, but I do have a Dr's appointment on Monday so I will probably update then!
and by the way, I am just guessing but I totally think this baby is a girl! we will see in about 8 weeks!!

And baby makes 4!

We are so excited that we will have a new addition to our family this winter! We have been through so many emotional ups and downs the past 2 years, trying to get pregnant. Being told we had unexplained infertility was aweful. There was nothing I could do, I felt so helpless and so sorry for myself. Carson was such a surprise and such a blessing. I just couldnt believe that we got pregnant with Carson so easily and we were having so many issues now. I was diagnosed with insulin resistent polysystic ovarian syndrom. My dr put me on metformin which they thought would fix the inferility problem. After 7 failed rounds of clomid we were sent to a fertility specialist in august 2008 and we did get pregnant right away. We went on to miscarry a baby girl around 9 weeks. We did have further testing done that told us the miscarriage was chromosomal and was a baby girl. I was absolutely devastated. I wanted to go through fertility again right away but Scott and I decided that we should wait and see what happens. We started eating right and exercisng . I started having fun with my friends and I stopped obbsessing about getting pregnant. Scott and I started having fun again together and then one day I started feeling bad so i took a pregnancy test. I actually forgot all about it and then walked by and took a look, it was POSITIVE! I was in total shock! I went to cvs and bought a pack of 3 digital tests and I of course took them all! They were all positive!! I wanted to tell Scott and Carson a special way, since the last 2 times I was pregnant, I called scotts cell phone 500 times and he knew something was up! The last time I was pregnant I had a shirt made for Carson that said Im going to be a big sister and she never got to wear it, and I kept it in her closet. So, I got the shirt out and wrapped up all the tests in the shirt and put them in a gift bag. I waited patiently (well, not really) for Scott to get home from work, at this point I have known since around 2pm and Scott came home around 7pm . I acted casual and handed him the bag and told him it was an early fathers day present ( since Fathers Day was the upcoming sunday). He opened it and was so surpised and excited!! I am now in my 8th week. I had a scare early on but we did get to see the babys heart beat at the 6 week ultrasound. I have been really holding my breath this pregnancy because of the miscarriage. I go to the dr tomorrow to have an ultrasound. I am praying for our baby to have a strong and healthy heartbeat. I am not sure I will ever be able to breath easy until I am holding this baby in my arms but everyday is one step closer! Keep our baby in your prayers and I will have an update tomorrow!!
