23 Weeks

Today has been a day of joy and reflection. I still can't believe after 2.5 years of trying for a baby I really am pregnant with a little girl. And its all going really good.
My Darling Mr. was there for it all, the months of being upset for not getting pregnant, the morning tempature taking, the peeing on sticks, the testing, the blood testing, the feelings of depression and like a failure...always there to tell me that it was going to be ok, it was going to work out. Thru all the Dr. apts, the ones with news, the ones without. He learned to give me shots and how to keep me calm. He was there to hold my hand when everything hurt and when I was going into my apts. He is amazing and I can't believe our daughter will have him for her Father. Thank you honey...no really thank you!

And now we move onto our little IVF miracle, our baby girl, my little tapeworm. She's doing great. Feels like she is doing acrobats in my belly all the time. I poke at her and move her around, the Mr says not to do that but hey I like to feel her! I go back to the Dr. in early Dec to get a check up and then we start our twice a month apts. We've bought her a few things here and there but still have mucho things to get for her. A dresser is becoming #1 priorty soon.

How I am feeling, well "at my age" lol, I still love that saying...no really I am good. Still tired often but to be expected and my hip is killing me, but its a small price to pay for such a great thing to come! I've gained about 8lbs and am getting a bigger and tighter belly everyday. I can't believe there is only 3 months 3 weeks and 4 days left till she gets here. I feel like I am not having anything done or planned yet..and if you know me I am a planner!

Well off to do some more work. Fun times. I'd rather be napping!

Nearing the 22 week mark

Ok so I've again been a bad blogger...sorries!

My sweet loving (albeit very outspoken) Granny came for a visit and we went to our 1/2 way ultrasound...so she got to see that the baby is a GIRL! We are so overly excited. I can't believe that in a few short months we will finally after all this time be holding our Precious baby girl. Everything is on track and she looks healthy. Her heartbeat is normal and her heart is beautiful. They have found nothing physical with her that should be of concern and I am released from the Perinatologist! On to just the OB for us! I still am in shock that we are even pregnant much less that everything is going forward so smoothly. So far so good.

I am feeling better. Still tired alot...but I am guessing that is to be expected. I look like a small Budda..but I am happy and I eat often, just not alot at one time.

So that's all for this post.

Tapeworm is a Girl...not a tapeworm...more like a wiggle worm.
We have family coming in for Thanksgiving and then off to see the Saints whip on the Cowboys! Whoo hoo!
