Your Heartbeat

So, Frogalicious, it would be totally awesome if you would let momma & dad see your HB at your u/s next Thursday. Just to show Dr. J & Laurie what an overachiever that you are. You know how I know you're an overachiever? Cause I have this PG calendar, and I should *just now* be getting a positive PG test..You showed up at 3wk4d, 3wk5d, 3wk6d etc. And then, your beta went up 129% in 48 hrs. Ambitious I tell you. And my symptoms have shown up really early (for which Im thankful, I promise, even if I bitch about them.) Heartburn and a little nausea came into play on Sunday..and have hung out. TUMS and I have become best buds, hope you like the strawberry flavor. And the tiredness, goodness. So back to the HB. My calendar is telling me that the *earliest* that we will be able to see/hear it will be 6wks3d, another calendar says 7wks is the best bet. We plan on seeing you on 6wks1d and it would be really awesome to see it, cause mommy will be really worried if we don't. So, thats my request for the next 2 weeks. We'd just love to see the HB, but seeing you in person will be so, so awesome!! We even got special picture frames for your grandparents and one for us. I'll have to post pics of them when we have your picture. Okay, thats momma's request =)

Little Froggy..

You better never give mommy any grief!! Those Lovenox shots hurt!! Dad has help me hold the area and today we didn't realize that the needle was headed for a vein until it was already in. It hurt SO bad. It still hurts while Im sitting here..But, anything to keep you safe little dude (or dudette). Love you!!  But you better be good!!

The First Post-4wks 3d

So little Froggy, this blog is dedicated to you..momma's gonna try and come here every day or so and just do little updates and whatnot so we can remember this time..

A little background..Your dad & I have been married since October 4, 2008. We've weather quite a few storms in the last 2 years..We seperated last spring, came back together last summer, and have had 5 miscarriages. I've been dx'ed w/3 clotting disorders and recurrent pregnancy loss. You, sweet baby, are a miracle and a much wanted and hoped for child. You have no idea how happy you have already made daddy & I!! We've never really been "this far" in a pregnancy before. We've had good numbers on our beta tests and 4 positive pregnancies tests (including a digital!!) to prove you are really in there. We are so thankful that your brother & sisters in heaven decided to send you to us. Hopefully they are watching over the three of us, and keeping us all healthy and safe.

So far, I have 3 main symptoms. I am EXHAUSTED all the time, no matter how much sleep I get. My chest hurts, constantly, and Im moody. Im trying to keep the bitchiness under control, but it doesn't always work. Oh, and my appetite has already changed. The nausea isn't too strong yet, but I have a feeling you are gonna be a stubborn child and make momma sick to her stomach. I also have a feeling your a little dude. Forgive me if your a gal..But I've felt that way from the moment we found you were on your way. I know everyone says it's too early for all of this, but I don't think so. Sometimes, momma's just know. We'll get to see you in a little over a week, there'll be a "wand" to take your picture, but don't be scared. Dr. J is just making sure you're alright in there, moving around and all that jazz. So make sure you hang out, oh, until at least late February. We can't wait to meet you!!
