Ok, first blog for a first timer...hope I don't sound too much like a dork!
Wanted to keep everyone up to date on the up and coming newest member of our family. As you know this little one suprised us all after 6 weeks of marriage and a postive pregnancy test! Especially considering the doc was waaaaaayyyyy off on his diagnosis of my "non-working" ovaries. Apparently they work JUST fine! Ben said I was being mean to him this particualr week of January 15th. I usually am mean, so I didn't think too much of it-ha-JK! But I was feeling a little out of the norm, so I decided to weed it out with a quick test and move forward go with the oncoming flu. It was not the flu needless to say. It was two pink lines on a tiny white stick. Almost so faint, I thought I did something wrong. Squeezed myself into a opening slot at the doctor's office the next mornign for some confirmation and after 4 grueling hours, I was ont he HGC track! We are super excited about this news and this blessing in our lives though-it was a fear of mine not to be able to have my own children. God took that fear away and brought this wonderful miracle into our lives. Now the wait...and it has been quite interesting if I must say so myself.
Have had three doctor appointments thus far-
First-January 29th-We got to see the little peanut at 6 weeks-It was too small to measure the heartbeat at that time although we saw it pumping away! Haha-Ben was asking the nurse if there was any way another little peanut could be hiding behind the one we were looking at. She said unlikely but has happened-I think Ben felt some relief!
Second-February 24th-After what seemed like giving the doctor a gallon of blood, nurse came into the room to hear the heartbeat with her handy dandy Doppler. It picked up immediately without an ultrasound (which I still wanted of course-but insurance wouldn't agree with me) HR was at 176-on the high end....some say that means girl!
Third-March 24th-Another Doppler checkup. HR lower at 168 but still on the high end for my gestational period said doc-still girl??
