12 weeks!


We are 12 weeks pregnant as of yesterday. The ultrasound above was done at 10 weeks 1 day. We are measuring 2 days ahead which is fun because that puts our due date on hubby's birthday. I know that this early however, measurments vary.

Every day I feel more and more connected to this little person growing inside of me. As we get closer to the end of the first trimester I have more and more hope that this is actully happening.

I also feel like god is doing some amazing things in my life right now. He knew when the best time for this to happen was and he made it happen. I graduated, I started a new job, and we were approved for our home. Its really amazing. 2 days from now will mark 2 months since I found out I was pregnant. It has gone so fast already!

We are starting to buy a few things. Got a crib the other day. I already got some clothes. Our next appointment is on the 12th and we might be able to find out if we are having a boy or a Girl.

I am so excited!

6 more days!

Our first appointment is less than a week away! I am so excited/nervous/scared. I just want everything to be fine and healthly. Hubs is coming with and possibly my mother too. I *think* i'll be around six weeks by then, but i'm not sure.

So far my boobs just hurt and I'm wearing a sports bra pretty much all the time. I'm hungry all the time too, which scares me because after losing 75bs i really dont want to gain it all back. However, i lost everything i ate today so who knows. yeah my first bout of the sickies hit today. I guess lil' brussel sprout hates the smell of trukey burgers being cooked.

I started my grad class today. I am sure the preggo hormones are raging because honestly compared to most of my undergrad this class will be a cake walk... but i got a little overwhelmed. It might have just been the act of being in class..AGAIN. I was enjoying the break from school.

well that is all!

I can't freakin believe it!



I am PREGNANT! after 2 years of infertility I have kicked PCOS's butt!

Is very early assuming my last period was indeed a real period. That would put me around 4 weeks. My first appointment is in 13 days! I am going nutso!

I wont lie, I've alread purchased a few things. just come cute clothes. After 2 years of looking at everything baby it was great to be able to buy something :)

So how did i kick PCOS's butt? well first off I lost 75lbs by following a very strict low carb diet. I also had ovarian drilling done august 3rd. My cycles have been regualr ever since. So thanks to the use of ovulation tests we're pregnant! I just hope everything is okay and when we go to the appointment we have good news.

YAY!

Baby talk

two words: Infertility sucks.

Yes Today I admit that I am suffering through infertility. two years of trying and no baby? yeah thats me. HOWEVER I am not going into this world of infertility quietly, oh no.. I will go in KICKING AND SCREAMING! I've lost 60lbs, i'm having ovarian drilling on monday and hubs and I picked out our baby names.. so yes I HAVE HOPE! take that infertility monster!

so yes I have having surgery on monday. should be painful but the doctor said he sees 90% of his patients get preggo after this surgery. God I would love that.

Like I said we came up with some baby names. It helps me cope to think about the future. Its amazing but we are 100% sure on our boy name now and ever since me made that decision I have so much hope. Its probably that combined with the hope from the surgery but man i just feel like its going to happen soon..

okay okay so you probably want to know the name huh? Well since no one i know in real life reads this blog then i guess I can share.

our for sure boy name is....

Blake Gilpin Ring

Yeah Gilpin may seem a little different but it is my gpas middle name. Trust me this is not the name i thought i would ever love but for some reason when my husband said it, I fell in love with it.

well thats my post for today. send baby dust my way.

I must Admit, I haven't done much crafting since christmas. I would love to get some scrapbooking done, but my printer is out of ink and ink costs about 50 bucks for my printer. We don't have an extra $50 laying around anywhere so it will have to wait. I suppose I could make some layouts and leave the spots for the pictures, but I like putting it all together and using colors from the pictures in my pages. Plus, I got the cricut Emboser kit from www.amychomas.blogspot.com and I want to go buy some vellum and metal to try it on:) There are so many things I want to learn to do with my cricut! I just need some time to play with it, but I am so busy tho. I am very good as cutting cardstock with it, but I am discovering how much more I could do!

In other things, I am recovering nicely from surgery. Went back to work and everything. Not at work today due to snow, and its looking like a chance for another snow day tomorrow. One of the perks of teaching. I hope they cancel tomorrow, simply because I have a doctors appointment and The school I work at is about 20mins from my home and about 15min from the doctor's office. I would rather just have to go to the appointment in this snow.

Started classes again. A literary analysis class and a SPED course. urgh. only 4 terms left!

Thats about it. MY exciting life...not.
