Sigh of relief

Baby Beck @ 15 weeks

I finally had a good doctor's appointment this last Monday. Along with my hyperemesis I have recently started spotting and having contractions. At my recent appointment we decided to stop all things that went in my PICC line and trial nausea pills instead. If I do well for a week or so and do not become violently ill again, the PICC line can come out!!!!!

This ultrasound picture was taken when the were measuring my cervical length to make sure the contractions were not thinning out my cervix. The good news is my cervical length is 5 which is great!!!! We also determined the cause of my spotting. I have a low lying placenta, which means it is sitting right next to my cervical opening. When the placenta covers any part of the cervical opening it can lead to bed rest and a c/s. At this point there is still time for the placenta to move up as the uterus expands, so I am doing my best to not worry :)

Our little baby Beck is holding strong and growing like a weed. He/she has become very found of his/her hand. In the last 2 ultrasounds the hand has been right up to the mouth. We will also be finding out the sex and make sure all the organs are formed and normal on the 28th of this month. Just a few more weeks!!!!!!!

Return to work take 2 will also occur on Monday (Labor Day) and then off to Iowa next weekend for my little sister's wedding. Hopefully the PICC line will be out so I don't ruin all of the wedding pictures :)

Baby Beck @ 12+3 weeks

Waiving at Mommy

Baby Beck at 10 weeks

Everytime I get to see the baby it reminds me how blessed I am and that all the sickness and suffering I have gone through up to this point has been worth it!

I continue to have my PICC line in that is giving me fluids and nausea medicine. I will post a picture of the PICC line for those who have never seen one. Hopefully it will only have to be in 2-3 more weeks. I am still have good and bad days when it comes to eating and drinking, but definetly an improvement from before. I lost a couple more pounds making the grand total 15 pounds lost. I can' tell where the weight came from because I don't notice any difference. I am sure when I start eating normally again it will find it's way back to me :)

Sweet Baby

Bumpy Start

I just got home from spending a week in the hospital. It all started with right sided abdominal pain that got worse as the days past. I was sure it was an ectopic pregnancy, but was thrilled to find out it was just a huge cyst that was twisting and causing all the pain.

I was admitted to the hospital for pain management and draining of the cyst. Normally they would just do a laparoscopy and fix the problem, but because I was newly pregnant they said it was too risky. Instead they stick a needle in your abdomen all the way to your ovary and aspirate the fluid out. It was INCREDIBLY painful. I yelled, cried, and had to be held down. Unfortunately the first time wasn't enough to make it go down so they had to do it again :( The second time they got a lot of fluid out and the rest is draining into my abdomen and will eventually be reabsorbed.

The only good thing that came from this was that they found a gestation sac and yolk sac in my uterus. I will go in on Wednesday and hopefully see a heartbeat. I just hope this was the only big hurdle I will have to face this pregnancy

Awwwww, how wonderful it is to see this word blown up :) I can't wait until I have a nice ultrasound picture to post!

I had my first beta today at 14dpo and it was 103 with a progesterone of 45. I have a repeat beta on Wednesday and I will have my first u/s July 1st or 2nd. Still sick, but at least I know my little ones are growing

BFP!!!!!!!!!!

Finally after 2 yrs TTC since my miscarriage(3yrs in total) I saw those 2 pink lines and the heavenly word "pregnant" when I POAS. Last Tuesday I had been really sick! Nausea, vomiting, heartburn, and occasionally diarrhea. I ended up in the hospital needing hydration and thought it was the stomach flu or food poisoning. Well this nausea and occasionally vomiting has continued everyday since.

I decided to POAS 9 dpo just after my trigger shot had disappeared. When I casually went to throw the test in the garbage I saw a hint of a second line. I was pretty sure it was a BFP, but I wanted a darker test to be absolutely sure. The next morning I was granted my wish and the lines were darker :) Unfortunately my DH is working out of state and I had to tell him the news over the phone. He kept giggling and it was like I could "hear" his smile through the phone.

I am nervous and crazy excited at the same time. On one hand I "feel" like everything is going to be just fine and that this will finally give us our baby(ies). On the other hand I have miscarried before and can't help but be apprehensive. I pray that God is finally blessing us with our miracle.

I will have my betas on Monday and Wednesday. As long as things go well I will have my first u/s the beginning of July :)

PLEASE let this work......... PLEASE!
