*UPDATE* Almost 8 weeks and first big baby purchase!

Baby Brain Im 9 weeks not 8 weeks!!!! :-)

Good Morning!! I hope everyone is enjoying their week! My week so far as been great! Last week I was sick with a cold and bad m/s all through the week and weekend, so Im glad to be feeling much better this week. Since Sunday I have been feeling awesome! No morning sickness, not as tired and get this: I have actually been staying up PAST 9pm!!! Thats really great since staying up to 9 the past 5 weeks has been a struggle! Im knocking on a lot of wood that the m/s is a thing in the past, so please keep your fingers crossed for me:-)

We made our first big baby purchase:-) I have always loved peg perego. I have wanted one since starting TTC(which was two years ago). When we found out we were pregnant I started really looking into which one was best for us, and we finally decided on the peg skate. However the price was a little HIGH:-S. Over 800(and thats just the stroller!) plus taxes. So I started looking on kijiji and found a new one(barely used, in excellent conidition) for only $500. So we got it!!!! and LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!! Im so happy with it! Its been fun playing around with. It can convert to a bassinet, stroller, switch so the baby is facing you or facing forward, and its the green bubble pattern that I love.



We also have some other exciting news.....we are moving!!!! This has been a huge answer to my prayers. We are finally moving onto the home farm in early December!! We are very excited and feel very blessed right now. Its going to be a bit of challenge as I wont be able to do too much(paining and picking up and moving boxes, or really moving anything). BUT I did score at the grocery store and got a bunch of boxes so I was able to pack up a closet and spare room stuff yesterday. Anyone have any suggestions for being pregnant and moving?? I know that they say most pain is safe but I just dont want to risk it, so I am going to buy a mask so I can at least do other things while ppl are painting(just in another room). I figured if I have a few fold up talbes in teh kitchen so ppl can put boxes on them that would help than I dont need to keep bending down all the time, and wont be lifting the boxes either So any tips or suggestions would be great:-)



Other than that, there is not much new. I hope all is well with you guys!

Love and hugs

Got to see our little bean!!!

So yesterday was our first Ultra sounds, and it was AMAZING!!!! Seeing that little bean inside of me and hearing his/her strong heartbeat was truly worth the wait. I was obviously very nervous going in. Would there be a hearbeat? Would there be anything? And as soon as she said there is the baby, the tears starting flowing. I was just so overjoyed, and felt so blessed. What a a wonderful miracle!
The heartbeat was 167, and the baby was measuring at 8 weeks and 3 days instead of 7 weeks 6 days. However my due date will stay the same.
The past few weeks I have been having some M/S on and off. That is until Monday, it was here the whole day. I tried everything and nothing would stay down. So my dr is putting me dialactin(sp?) to help. Im hoping it does! Other than that I have been still feeling very tired, and now have a cold coming on. So I hope the cold can stay away!!
I also just wanted to say that I think of all of you and pray for you!!
God bless

I think I have the start of M/S...:-(

Last week we were in Kentucky and while we were leaving our house DH came up and hugged me and right away the baby couldnt stand the smell of his cologne and I made it to the washroom just in time. I didnt think much about it...however I have been wanting movie theater popcorn but couldnt stand the thought of sitting through a whole move so I just made some at home last night. I was fine eating it, but as soon as I set the bowl down I didnt feel well. Needless to say the popcorn didnt last too long and I WILL not be eating popcorn for a VERY long time. I was hoping when I woke up this morning all would be well. Got up made myself a tea(decaf) and DH came back from the barn and decided to make me breakfast, bacon and eggs. Sounds good right?? Nope as soon as I finished eating them I started to feel nauseaous :-(
Oh well I guess this is just a good sign that the baby is growing right??
Oh and I had an awful mightmare last night...I dreamt I had a m/c :-(
I dont know how many Canadians I have on my blog, but if I do I just wanted to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Yesterday we had thanksgiving with ILs(today it will be with my parents). I was a little nervous about telling the ILs. Mainly because of our past history. So DH was supposed to announce it before we started eating, however dessert was served and he still hadnt announced anything. So my FIL had asked everyone for a Christmas list, so I got a piece of paper and wrote on it "Anything for the baby" and gave it to him. He read it and put it back in his pocked and than said congratulations. It was a really great moment. When we closed in prayer he prayed a prayer of thanks for DH and I, BUT also prayed for all the other couples out there who are still not blessed with their miracle. That really hit me. I am so excited and blessed, but I dont want ppl to forget our journey to get here. Infertility is such a hard, long and stressful journey and that is a HUGE part of DH and I. Im scared that with this pregnancy ppl will forget about our journey, however when my FIL prayed it meant so much to me.
Anyways this post is getting long...
I hope you all had a great weekend!!
Thanks again for your continued support and prayers

5 weeks :-)

I cant believe I am already 5 weeks!!! I hope the rest of the pregnancy goes by this fast so I can meet our little miracle. I am unable to load any pics up for some reason so the belly/bloated pic will have to wait. Actually the picture was taken at 4 weeks, and the bloating as only gotten worse! We went on a dairy convention this past week and I swear by the afternoon it looked like I was 4 months pregnant. I will be happy when the news is out and I wont have to try and hide my belly from friends/family.

Im still pregnant :-)

Yep! I still have a little baby growing inside of me. I still find it very surreal that I am in fact pregnant. It truly is a blessing from God.
My b/w came back on thursday at 89.9 so it more than doubled since Tuesday so now my first U/S is scheduled for Oct 27, its feels really far away so Im hoping it will go by very fast lol.
I have been feeling really good. I still have very sore breats that seem to be growing like crazy, a little(although I am sure DH will say VERY) emotional at times, VERY VERY tired, and apparently the baby does not like my hubbys cologne :-(. But I honeslty love all the symptoms I have, it gives me the reassurance that everythign is going well and that baby is still growing.
According to my LMP the baby is does June 9th, however I will give you a more updated date after the U/S.
Thank you so much for all your kind words, thoughts and prayers. It really means a lot to me.


Thanks and God bless!

Im pregnant!!!!!

Yep its true!!! I honestly cannot believe that I am writing this right now...I will start from a few days ago...
This past two weeks something was just off. I was VERY forgetful(I thought I had my car stolen and called the cops meanwhile I just parked somewhere else!!), food and drinks have tasted off, my boobs have been VERY sore, and I have been VERY tired!. So on Monday I went into town and thought I would get a pregnancy test. My period was due Tuesday but I had no spotting(and I always spot before AF). So I came home took the test and only one line came up. I started crying and reread the directions got up washed my hands and looked back down and there were two lines!!!!! I couldnt believe my eyes. I have dreamed so many times of seeing those precious two lines and there they were right in front of my eyes. Not one but two amazing lines. I quickly grabbed my keys and drove over to the farm to tell DH. I couldnt even talk cause I was crying so hard when I pulled up, all I could do was show him the test. He grabbed me and hugged me and we both cried. Its our time now, we are finally going to be parents!!!!
Can you believe it?? Im going to be a mommy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I honestly believe that this was all part of Gods plan for us. We had taken a break from treatments and we were supposed to start again this month but that will NOT be happening now :-).
Oh my goodness I am so overjoyed and feel so blessed!!!
We got my first betta levels back yesterday and it was 36.1, I thought it sounded really low but when I googled , it was normal. They REs office just said that it need to double by tomorrow. So fingers crossed and lots of prayers to God that this little bean will stay put and grow.
Thank you so so so much for all your support and encouragement and most of all prayers. I know I couldnt have made it this far without you all.
God bless!!

RE Appointment today

Today we had our RE appointment about what our next step is. He went over everything an dsaid that although everything looks great we are still not pregnant. Therefore we can either continue on for another 3 rounds of IUI with clomid/Femara along with injectables, OR move onto IVF. We decided to stick with the IUI for another few rounds and see what happens. Im really holding out faith in God that this is the right path for us, and if not I know he will guide us down the right path.
Recently I have been struggling with a lot. Some issues with my inlaws, some struggling with my faith in Gods plan for me, and just a lot of stress on our marriage because of al lof this. An amazing friend of mine out of the blue sent me this verse...I thought I would close with this. God always has a way of reminding us how to stay focased.

Trials and Temptations
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
