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!!
