16 Weeks!

Happy 27th!

Today is my birthday and I LOVE it! I love my birthday, it is the one time of the year were it is all about me, attention is on ME.  Selfish... I think not.  Everyone should want to be spoiled and looked after one day of the year.  Today was a special day for my parents and it will be for me forever!
So CJ and his sister (thanks Meg!) came up with this scavenger hunt for me when I came home from Visiting Teaching this morning.

To the most important woman in the world this day:

Happy Birthday! I hope you know how much you mean to me. I have put together a scavenger hunt around our home to remind you of some of my favorite memories that we have made together. Here is your first clue!

The first time I saw you I could hardly wait to take you on our very first date;

It would be "dandy" if we could meet

at the place where I took you to eat!

 This was at "The Office" in Prescott, so I went into our office and found some wild flowers.

Clue#2:

With a ring in my pocket~ I was so excited, you see

That I even forgot to get down on one knee!

Go to the place where these gems are stored

to see what has been added to your nice little hoard...

 This was a huge fake heart ring and it was in my jewelry box.

Clue #3:

Something old, something new~ Remember when we said "I do"?

On the glorious day that you took my last name

I wish I could put my memory in a frame....

This was a frame of us walking on the Mesa Temple grounds

Clue #4:

We started our journey at 3028,

But things started to get fun at 3171!

Though our time been long here at 39,

I'm sure our next place will be just fine!

 This was a bottle of sparkling Cider outside our house

Clue #5:

Hi-ho, Hi-ho, off to the Navy we go!

You've been so supportive; it's no piece of cake-

With the piles of laundry I've started to make!

This was on our washer with a cake cutter 

Clue #6:

Oh, the places we go!

The adventures we take!

It might not be a fairytale,

But what a story we make!

 This was in our bookshelf with a new pair of slippers!

 Clue #7

Its been a long road, full of heartache and pain,

But from this point on, our lives wont be the same.

It bought joy to my heart and tears to my eyes

When you gave me this most wonderful surprise!

The time has now come for your birthday kiss...

Where our baby was made in a moment of bliss!

CJ was in our room with flowers and a red velvet cake and Sparkling Cider, and my new necklace, and a letter!

Tonight we went out to this fabulous restaurant in Charleston called Poogan's Porch, great food with a good price tag.  We then headed to get some frozen yogurt and do a little sight seeing.
I will have to say this has been a great Birthday! 

Do you know what I am having?

Well We do!

16 Weeks!

14 weeks along

Taken at my beautiful sister's wedding!

How far along are you?

To answer that I would have to know which Doctor you want an answer from.

The Fertility Doctor says about 11 weeks 5 days or so, but my new OB says about 13 weeks.  So when am I do? UM Somewhere between January 28th and February 9th.

Our poor OB had such a problem getting good pictures of our Peanut.  It was moving around everywhere.  She asked if I could feel the movement yet and I have not, but she said good luck once you can.  It was quite amazing how active the baby was.

So far I have been blessed to have a great pregnancy so far.  No morning sickness and I have not gained any weight as of yet.

CJ and I are quite excited and every time we get to have an ultra sound it just testifies to me how much God helps us!  

The next doctor appointment will be at the end of August, we are only a few weeks away from seeing what we are having.  

What do you think, Girl or Boy?

Progress is made

We are still in a state of euphoria about our pregnancy! I am still feeling really good.  No morning sickness (both sister-in-laws are jealous of this), no big cravings.

Since we were with a fertility doctor and on fertility drugs before we got pregnant, my doctor wanted to do one last check up before turning me over to a general OB. So we went in today to have another ultra sound done.

So as soon as we saw this picture our little peanut started wiggling around. I immediately said "oh my it looks like a gummy bear." Our Peanut was moving around the entire time, it was so neat to see.  We saw the heart beat and it was beating just as it should be!

When we returned to the car CJ started laughing and when I asked he started singing this song:

NOW IT IS STUCK IN MY HEAD!

FINALLY

WE DID IT! We are pregnant!

It was kind of out of the blue.  We were in the middle of an IUI cycle that was cancelled.  I was suppose to be waiting for my period to start and then start Birth Control for a month so my body could get back to normal, I even went and got the birth control.

Well my period never started and once back from Girls Camp I decided I should probably rule out pregnancy and call the doctor to let him know I have yet to start.

Thursday June 14th at 4:45am I had to pee and figured I would take the test and go back to bed.  So I washed my hands got a drink and looked at the test, PREGNANT.  I saw it right there, I could not believe it.

I made CJ sit up and he was a little annoyed as his alarm was suppose to go off in 15 mins, but once he realized what I was holding and saw the screen he got a big smile on his face as well.

When the Fertility Clinic opened I called and got an appointment for a blood test.  

They called at about 2:30 and I was pregnant!

We kept it from close family till Fathers day and skyped with CJ and I's parents and called a few others.  The rest of you will get this in email or by reading it.

June 28 2012, this is our first OB appointment and we got to see our little peanut! We are measuring at 7 weeks and 1 day!  We were able to see the heart beat.  Doc said baby is growing at the normal rate and we should have a good pregnancy!

We are offically due February 9th 2013.

We are so excited and well I am still in denial for a while!
