I'm pregnant....

I found out yesterday, I'm pregnant? I put that as a question because I've been through this before. We got pregnant a little less than a year ago. I have reminders from when i had an amazon registry and my old pregnancy app. Sometimes e-mails come through and give a little sting - today I got one saying our baby would be 7 weeks old today. The pregnancy was ectopic and I had to have surgery on my left tube to remove it. My tube, thankfully, was kept intact. However, this is why I am such a nervous nelly right now. The chances of having another ectopic go up when you've already had one.

I know I shouldn't just be negative right off the bat, but it's hard not to remember and not want to get excited too early on. My test was also a faint line yesterday, today is slightly darker but still not as solid as I would like it to be. Calculating days, i would only be 4 weeks and 5 days pregnant, so maybe a faint positive is just normal that early on?

Anyways, I am trying to stay positive and I really want to tell people (I've told my husband and my BFF's but nobody else). I can't wait to tell my mother-in-law especially but I don't want to get everyone excited and something happen again. One of my bestie's Marsha Bear is pregnant and due in July. She started a blog with her experience with IVF. I thought that maybe this would be a good way to get my anxiety and everything bottled up inside... OUT. I figure if I can keep myself stress free by releasing all my worry into words... it can only help.

3 Months & COVID-19

The world is chaotic right now... just in time for little Miss Zoey Bear to turn 3 months! It's flying by. Right now she is finding her hands, munching on them, starting to hold onto things and loves to play with her soft books (mostly chew on them). Interacting with her is SO much fun and there is nothing better than to see her smile at you. Chris always melts when she smiles at him, he knows he is in for it! Right now we are in the middle of a new pandemic called COVID-19 (corona virus) and the country is being told to stay away from groups of 10 or more (some parts of the country - like New York - are told to stay indoors except for essentials). It's a strange world out there right now. Luckily, nothing much has changed over here since I am working from home and we barely were going out much anyways (with baby and all). I went to the grocery store to stock up on some food and the aisles were bare... No meats, paper goods, rice, canned goods and very little pasta among othe...

Week 38 - Countdown Begins

Eeek, only 1 more week until Induction date! I can't believe it's coming up so quickly. I am so excited and terrified all at the same time. Part of me is like... "get her out, i'm sore, tired and want to be able to tie my shoes or sneeze without peeing myself!" but another part of me is like... "this means lack of sleep, crying nights and A LOT of work". All I have to do is remind myself that I get to see that little face, the one that's been keeping me company squirming in my belly all these months. She is almost here and ready to meet us. When I think about that, it brings me to tears and I know I am strong enough to handle it. Women have been doing this from the beginning of time and I am not so special. It's time to begin that next chapter, the one where I stop being so selfish and become a better person to raise this little human being who will need my love, guidance and care. I go in for my final Ultrasound today and I am seeing the midwi...

It's Happening....

At ultrasound today and Zoey wasn't moving around like she should, got sent to labor and delivery for monitoring and even though she was looking great.... They decided it was time to start my induction. I'm now laying in the hospital bed, having contractions after my second dose of cryotec was given. This is supposed to soften my cervix, then I can get checked for dilation in a few hours. So yeah, this is happening. I'll try and keep this updated with my labor story as we go. Zoey will probably be here today (seeing as it's 3am) December 21st 2019. 12/21/19
