Surprise!!! NOV 1ST 2010

Well it has finally happened for me and my husband. As of today I am 6 weeks and 1 day pregnant. Yes this is a shocker because I have been with Dan for 9 years and was never not trying to get pregnant. About 5 years ago we tried the whole Femara and trigger shots but it didn't work for us at the time. We never have had a positive test.... NEVER. Well, 5 years and 4 kids later we finally got that positive on the pregnancy test. I didn't cry when it came out positive, I was stunned. The only reason I took the test was because I wanted to start my cycle. I was having major cramps, and told Dan to pick one up so my sub-conscience would say okay your not pregnant and then I would start my cycle. I have done that plenty of times in the past. But this time it was not a familiar negative. I told Dan and I think that he was shocked too. So before I told anybody, well besides my mom and neighbor I took 2 more and they too, were positive.

I called the doctor and the test results came back at 1100 HCG count. I do have very very low progesterone (6.5) so they put me on progesterone suppositories. I was happy... I am/was a little nervous to be honest, 5 kids is a lot of kids. The weekend was good, but I wasn't able to sleep well at all. I think it was a combination of being pregnant and knowing that I have to STOP smoking. I tried cold turkey and that made me crazy. Then I tried the patch (because I have quit successfully with that in the past) but the doctor said no take it off and gradually stop. So I am going to try to stick to 2 cigarettes a day for the rest of this week and 1 the next then hopefully none the week after that. I stopped drinking my rockstars and all soda with caffeine in it. Which for me was not hard at all. Went back to the doctor's yesterday for more blood work and my HCG was at 3435 which she said was really good and it more then doubled which is what they were looking for. I will try and blog what I can about my pregnancy. My mom does not remember much from when she was pregnant with me. So I thought it would be nice to have a nice little journal for when my little baby gets older.

I have been really tired, but was not able to get much sleep. I wake up constantly through out the night. Sometimes I have to pee and other times not. The doctor recommended unisom to help me sleep and it helped a lot. However Dan decided to set the alarm way too early this morning and it woke me up 2-3 time before I went to shut the alarm off and I dumped a whole bunch of apple juice on the script the doctor gave me, my coach purse, and some loan paper work. LOVELY!! At 6am that is not what I want to be doing, cleaning up. I guess I can be happy that I don't have morning sickness, at least not yet. Well better go... I am going to have Dan take a picture of my belly tonight and post them up here. LOL Carson was so funny today. He asked "Mom is the baby eating the same food as you?" I said "yep that is right." Carson says " That is disguisting" LOL haha. Also Carson says if it is a brother he wants to name it bigfoot, and if it is a girl then bigfoot girl. LOL The girls want to name the baby Nemo boy or girl LOL.
Can't wait for the U/S on Friday. Hopefully we can see a heartbeat.
