The day after tomorrow I get to see my little sweet tart for the first time and see that little beating heart! yay for the day after tomorrow! now if only tomorrow would get here ;) Today should go by fast, when dh wakes up he is taking me to subway to fulfill a craving and then to DQ for an oreo blizzard! Tonight we have my grandpa's birthday party to attend then come home and not too long after that I will be passed out!

A WONDERFUL week in the works!

It is going to be a fabulous week for Zachary and I!! We have our seven week ultra sound on friday morning! WOOHOO only 4 days to go!! I am so pumped that I will be 7 weeks and beyond ecstatic that I will get to see our little miracle for the first time. I have been feeling well. Super queasy, and emotional, I am starting to feel my body growing and shifting and it is getting more and more uncomfy to sleep at night not to mention the million trips to the bathroom. I have seriously pondered making a bed in the bathroom lol!!! I am loving every second of this pregnancy, nausea and all..it just makes it that much more real :) I will be sure to keep the updates coming!!! Have a wonderful week!!!

6 weeks pregnant

Today makes me 6 weeks pregnant with our little sweet tart(s)!! The nausea and heartburn has kicked in full force, not to mention I am ALWAYS hungry! I still constantly crave popsicles, and still I can't seem to get enough of them..thankfully they are the homemade ones with fruit juice instead of the ones loaded with sugar!!! I have been having more and more aches that feel like growing pains. If I dont sleep on my side with a blanket between my legs and wedged under my belly I am not comfy. I have gained 3 pounds so far, lmao and according to the books you should only gain 3-5 pounds in the first trimester..lmao I am halfway through it what am I supposed to do about the other 6 weeks I have to go haha. Although I feel like Im eating all the time I really dont eat much, I have just gone from one giant meal a day to 6 small meals a day even with that I doubt I even make 2,500 calories. About all I can eat right now is potatoes, popsicles, corn, and crackers, I did gag down some chicken breast yesterday lmao! Only one week to go until our 7 weeks ultra sound! Im excited to see if there are one or two in there!!!!

I finally got my hormone results this morning that I had done on tuesday! I was starting to think I would never get them! As I explained in my last blog my estrogen and progesterone levels are crazy high so I am in the process of weening off of my supplements. My body is doing very well on its own and is ready to support a pregnancy. I had been taking 2 pills of estrogen a day which left me with a estrogen level or 1883, I cut that down to only one pill a day and it nearly doubled!! My estrogen level is now at 2529!! So my body is kicking into gear! I was taking 600mg of progesterone which gave me a level of 271, I cut my dose down to 400mg a day and my level is 245, so that went down which is good lmao. A normal range for my time in pregnancy is 20-40 and I am still over 200 more! So My body is doing sooo well! There just may be two in there ;) Only a week until we find out! I am now am now completely off of the estrogen supplement, and I will be cutting down to only 200mg of progesterone a day. I will have my levels checked again next friday at my ultra sound!

5 weeks with Sweet Tart!

Today I am five weeks pregnant with our little sweet tart. I srarted the process of weening off my supplements yesterday. I am currently taking 2 prometrium and 1 femtrace a day, and I haven't even noticed. I am feeling wonderful!!! I am starting to get tired more often, things such as getting groceries poops me out. My boobs are ginormous and sore and my jean skirts are uncomfy on my belly so I have been living in gouchos. I am starting to form a little pouch :) I took a pre pregnancy pic a few months ago to compare with because I dont have a teeny flat belly, I have a 4 week picture and I took a 5 week pitcture. I will be taking belly shots every single week of the pregnancy to put with my weekly journal entries that I am making for the baby. I wont share all of them, but I will share some. Here are my pre preg, 4wk, and 5wk pictures. You can tell a difference!! grow sweet tart grow!!!

labs are in from yesterday!

My nurse called me with the results, my dr is beyond impressed with all of my levels! As of yesterday my estrogen level is 1883 and my progesterone level is 271.8! My numbers are CRAZY high! My dr wants me off of all supplements because of how high my levels are, he feels that my body is doing well on its own. I was told that ladies that do PIO and prometrium still dont have levels as crazy high as mine are. I told the nurse flat out that I dont feel comfortable cutting out all supplements in one day and that I am not going to even risk losing this baby so she said that I can cut the dose down and get labs done to be sure my levels are good and keep doing so until I am weened off.They said that the hormones I am on right now alone couldn't make my numbers so high so they know my body is kicking into gear and doing well on it's own. My dr likes seeing a progesterone at least 40 and I have went above and beyond that number! I have been taking 600mg of prometrium a day and 2 femtrace a day, I will now be taking one femtrace and 400mg of prometrium a day. I go in next week for another hormone check to be sure everything is still nice and high and we will go from there on if I need to still cut back more on supplements. My dr said that there is nothing wrong with some extra hormones so if it will make me feel better then there is nothing wrong with slowly cutting back. Please continue to pray for our sweet tart and this miracle pregnancy!!!

for those that have asked. my sister is home now, they did keep her overnight due to pain and such. She got to come home this morning and is doing ok but in a great deal of pain. thank you for keeping her in your thoughts :)

2nd beta results are in! us date! yay

I went in early this morning for my second beta and hormone check to be sure my numbers were going up. Your beta is supposed to double every two days and Zach and I had figured that today my beta should have been in the 700 range, boy were we off!! lmao The nurse giggled and said "well your beta more than doubled! lmao" I asked her what the exact number was and she replied telling me that it is a big 1312.0!!!!!! They dont have my estrogen and progesterone levels in from todays labs but I asked what my progesterone was on friday when I had my labs done and as of friday it was 220.9! yay! everything is going soo well!!! I am feeling wonderful! I can't get enough of sunny d and popsicles, they are my favorite right now! Zach even made me popsicles out of sunny d..oh yum! I am scheduled for a 7 week ultra sound on the 18th of april- only 17 days away yay!!!! I am 4 weeks 4 days pregnant!

As some of you know, my little sister had surgery today to remove a bone tumor from her foot. The surgery went very well and the drs were happy to find that the tumor was ontop of the bone rather than in the bone so it was easy removal. It didn't look cancerous but they sent it out to be sure. She is doing well. She may get to come home tonight if she isn't in too much pain. Right now she is sore and unable to keep food down so please pray for a fast recovery.

I hope everyone is well. love hugs and belly rubs :)
