It's been a long time coming

Yes, I know. It has been a long time since I have updated. I am a very bad blogger. There is so much news to report, but I think I will give the short version. As you know from past blogs, B and I lost our third pregnancy back in April '09. We took a short break from trying and decided to give it a go again back in August.

We got a positive test a week before Christmas. Dr. S put me on Prometrium 200mg 2x/day as well as baby aspirin. Had my first appointment on January 11th. Everything looked great! Measured 6 weeks, 4 days. Dr. S saw me every week until I reached 10 weeks, and baby was growing perfectly.



Of course it wouldn't be me if I didn't have a bleeding/spotting scare. I started spotting around 8.5 weeks, and it lasted to about 10.5 weeks. I would only spot or bleed at night, and it would last for no more than an hour. Dr. S thought it was the Progesterone, and the nurse thought it was from the developing placenta. Either way, the spotting/bleeding stopped after two weeks.

As of today I am 14 weeks, 5 days. The furthest I have been with any of my previous pregnancies! Dr. S is comfortable with seeing me at the regular intervals now. I listen to my little one's heartbeat every night(I rented a Doppler from www.babybeat.com)! My next appointment is on Monday. I am still walking on eggshells after three losses, but I am starting to relax just a tad. I even bought a few pairs of maternity pants!

Now that I have gotten all the secrets off my chest, I hope to keep this blog updated with all the new and exciting adventures of pregnancy. Keep praying that all goes well.
