After 2.5 years of disappointment we are VERY happy and excited to announce that we are EXPECTING! As many of you have read we have had our fair share of ups and downs so this makes everything that much sweeter.
We had our first ultrasound last Thursday and everything looked great. The babies heart rate was 143 bpm (that's for daddy, the cardiac nurse!) and was by far the sweetest sound I have ever heard. I think that is when it all became very real.
Justin has been adjusting to what he calls an "hormonal pregnant lady" while I am adjusting to feeling sick 98% of the time. Unfortunately I haven't been feeling the greatest and throw up at lest 4-5 times a day. I eat and I am sick, I don't eat and I am sick, REPEAT! I have tried many of the so called remedies but nothing has really worked. The best so far has been B6 vitamins which does lower the nausea for awhile but it never stays at bay long. Oh well I guess it is a small price to pay!
Justin and I are over the moon and can't wait for our little peanut to make it's entry in October. Thank you for all of the support over the past few months... It has been a rough ride but it has all been worth it! :)
That is the best news I have heard in a long time! I am extremely happy for you guys! Congrats!

ReplyDeleteI can't imagine what it was like for you guys to hear the great news after everything you have been through. I can definately relate to the sickness, I was the same way for pretty much the first half of both pregnancies, but like you said....it is all worth what you will get in the end!!! Congratulations....(my mom and dad are super excited for you too)!!!!
