We went to see Dr. Conrad on 7/10/08. Everything is going good. The baby's heartbeat was 150bpm. Which is great. We go back at 16 weeks for another appointment. Only 8 weeks until we know what we are having. We are so excited. We are going tomorrow morning to start our registry at Babies R Us. After hearing a 2nd STRONG heartbeat Im confident enough to start a registry. I cant wait to meet our baby. This is a true blessing for us. I cant thank God enough for this miracle!!!!

Well today we are 11 weeks and 5 days pregnant. I still cant beleive this!!! The cravings are kicking in (OVERTIME). I am craving home made vegetable soup. My mother in law made it for me today. I wanted it so badly on Saturday I could smell and taste it. So im very excited to be eating at her house tonight. The only other things Im starting to crave is Chocolate Ice Cream and Chicken (not together LOL). Well anyway. That is just an update. Talk to everyone soon!!

Pregnancy Update

I am approximately 6-8 weeks pregnant. If the IUI did successfully take (even though in a previous post my HCG was 12 then 4....they said it was too soon to tell) then I am 8 weeks. If we did it on our own I am 6 weeks. Either way we are THRILLED!!!! The morning sickness is starting. Thank God I have B-Natal Therapops (they are cherry flavored morning sickness lollipops).

I have been suffering with Bronchitis for the last 3 weeks. So that has been a fun ride. I finally got some meds I can take to knock it out.

We go to see Dr. Conrad on June 19th (only 8 more days) for our 1st ultrasound. We am counting down the days. My husband Tim is soooo excited. He is more ready to know what we are having so he can get started on the Nursery (that is his project). He has been really great so far. My feet have been hurting alot and he has been so kind to rub them every night. So I thank God for him. He is a wonderful husband.

Well that is all for today. I will update after the U/S!!!

Final Results

My hcg today is 2210. Dr. Conrad said that is a good number. Our first ultrasound is scheduled for June 19th @ 3:00 pm. We are sooooo excited. I cant beleive it is finally happening for us!!! Thank you all for your comments and prayers!!!!!

YOU ARE ALL TRUE FRIENDS AND I AM LUCKY TO HAVE SUCH A WONDERFUL SUPPORT GROUP!!!!!

PREGNANT!!!!!!!

Ok so here is the new scoop.....Friday I was feeling weird (breats were really sore and couldnt stop going pee) so I decided to take a hpt. It came back positive!!!!! So I called Dr Conrad's office as soon as they opened Friday morning and went in for bloodwork. My nurse put a rush on the bloodwork and my HCG level came back at 856!!!!! She gave me paperwork and told me on Sunday to go to Crestwoods ER at 9:00 AM and have another test done. She put a rush on that test as well. So by 10:30AM on Sunday I received a phone call from my nurse and she told me my HCG level had gone up to 1382!!!!! It only went up by 61.5%, they were hoping for 66%. But she said by my symptoms she believes everything is fine. Im sooooo excited right now. I am approximately 2 weeks pregnant. I just have to get through the next 10weeks (so Im out of the first trimester). I go back to the Dr on Tuesday 5/27 for another bloodtest just to make sure my levels are still rising. SO please keep me in your prayers. I will let you know the resulsts as soon as that test comes back!!!!!
