Hi Everyone! :) 

Week 12

11 weeks: Baby is the size of a fig

Your baby is now about as big as a fig. (Length: just over 1 1/2 inches, head
to bottom.)

How far along? 11 weeks 5 days
Total weight gain/loss?  +5lbs 
Maternity clothes?  I have busted out my maternity pants and some shirts. The pants are way to big, but are more comfortable. Best to take advantage of it! 
Stretch marks? None, thank goodness.  
Sleep?  Taking unisom and b6 at night helps me sleep through the night AND prevents me from barfing in the morning! 
Best moment last week? Seeing my baby again! 
Movement?  I Nothing as of yet....
Food cravings? Let's see: Indian food and....honey combs cereal. I did buy pickles because they sounded good. :) 
Gender? Still a BUG! 
Labor signs? Nothing! 
Belly button in/out? In. 
What I miss: Feeling human and not wanting to barf when i sit down to dinner. This evening sickness is OLD. 
What I am looking forward to: Finding out what we are having!!! 
Milestones: Going to Vegas this week! :) Babymoon! 

Here we go again!

Believe it or not...we are pregnant! On our own...no help....On 11/24/12, (the day after Thanksgiving...) I took a pregnancy test. I took it because I realized only then that I was 5 days late! The morning went something like this.
P: Did you start your period?
B: No...I think I was supposed to start Wednesday. Last month I was 5 days late, so I'm not really concerned. I'll go pee on a stick though.
P: OK.
I walk to the bathroom, pee on the stick...and HOLY CRAP...there are 2 lines! I start shaking and say:
"Umm honey...I think you need to come in here..."

I think we were in total shock for a few minutes. (or a few days!!!)

 The frist beta that I had drawn was 2737. Then it was 6738 3 days later. This means we are really having a baby! We go for our first ultrasound on 12/13. I'm still skeptical just because this all seems unreal to me! We are very blessed that's for sure! 

Update:

We went for our Ultra sound on 12/13/12 and we have a BUG! :) (Baby of unidentified Gender)! The heartrate was 154 and the baby is due August 1st! :) I'm still keeping my posts in draft form, and will go public, as soon as we tell our families. :) So, if you are reading this, I'm still blogging, but I've been waiting to go public.

I've been experiencing some of the WORST nausea! I have been sick all day long...well not throwing up, but i sure do feel like it!  I've started the b6/unisom trick, and that seems to be helping. We head back to the GYM for our next ultra sound on the 28th ( A great 32nd birthday present to me!)

I've also been doing some thinking. Just about how God work in funny ways. I remember the day we got the call that we only had one viable embryo through the IVF process. I was devastated. I thought to myself, what if we can't get pregnant again. What if we have to go through the IVF process all over gain? But now  almost 2 years later, here we are pregnant...on our own. And I'm almost thankful that we only had one embryo. What if we had another one frozen? What would we have done? Would we have chosen to have the baby? I guess I'm lucky we don't have to have that conversation and we are able to enjoy the pregnancy with baby #2. :)

We went for our 2nd ultrasound! Baby is doing GREAT! The little peanut is already measuring a week ahead of schedule! :) He was happy because I had eaten a muffin just before I went in. :) The hearrate was measuring at 177!
