{specifics}

Wow!! 

Thanks for the comments and support!

We are SOOO excited to be having a baby

and we love that others are excited too.

Here are the specifics...

for those that care.

I'm 12 weeks

Due: Friday the 13th of May, should we be suspicious??

We got pregnant our first round of clomid.

Which we feel very lucky about
Clomid made me really sick.

And, so does pregnancy!!

I've been darn sick.

Throwing up

Nauseous 24/7

Very tired

The whole caboodle.

Zofran is my friend.

I'm so sick on the pill

I can't imagine what it would be like without it.

My mom is great to remind me
that this is what we've been praying for!

And it truely is.

We are only having ONE baby.

We had a little scare that there might be two in there.

Because

1. I measured a little big the first time he checked me down there
2. There are twins in my family
3. I had been on fertility drugs

So, the dr recommended we have an ultrasound

to "rule out twins"

And....
there is only one in there.

He also checked me out on the ultra sound.

Everything looks good.

I do have a cyst on my right ovary though.

Which he is said he likes to see,

because it gives me lots of extra progesterone.

BUT, makes me more sick.

It's the type of cyst
that usually disappears by 20 weeks.

Hopefully, that happens.

If it sticks around longer and gets big

it could be painful

And lastly,

I don't have any intuitions on the sex of the baby.

I've always kinda thought I was a boy mom

So if I had to guess I'd say boy.

But not because of mother's intuition.

Just a pure guess.

But my family only makes girls.

So we will see.

and this is our favorite pic of all time!!!!

Clomid Update

A few words about clomid


• thankful

• hopeful

• no side effects, at first

then

• fatigue

• more fatigue

• headaches

• body aches

• hot flashes

• cramps

• nausea

Lindsay summed it up well when she said, so basically you feel like you're pregnant--but you're not.
On top of it all, I've had this werid summer cold for the past 10 days or so.  Which I've refused to take cold medicine for because I'm dealing with enough side effects.  I don't need more drugs in me.  Andrew swears the cold is actually more clomid side effects because usually when I have a cold I give it to him--and he's felt nothing. 

Consequently, I have hardly got anything accomplished the last few weeks. I have a lot of great intentions for my school-free life.  :)  But I have no energy to do them. I believe that everything happens when it's supposed to happen.  It's not our plan or time frame...as much as we'd like it to be right?  So I guess maybe this is another reason why we've had to try so long for a baby--so my life is a little less busy and I can be lazy everyday after work.  Really---by 2 PM everyday I'm pooped.  Ready to go home and sleep.

Clomid

Hard to think that these little babies....

Might finally get us one of these little babies.

But we'll give it a shot.
