Graduation day!

I thought this day would never come! Nearly 11 months ago we decided to take the next step,after trying for a second child for over 3 years, and saw Dr Doherty for the first time. At the consultation we were extremely satisfied with what she had to say and that day marked the start to our journey. It wasn't an easy journey but it got us to where we are today. We did 3 medicated cycles 1 being canceled and 2 being unsuccessful iui's. We then moved to IVF and transferred two of the most beautiful embryos my doctor had seen in a long time. Again we got a BFN. We were devastated. Devastation probably is an understatement. IUI failures hurt but IVF it was like I failed my babies. They were perfect and my body let them down. My job as a mother is to keep my babies safe and I wasn't able to do that. We moved right on to our FET. I had the transfer on March 21 and found out March 30 that it worked! That our prayers had been answered and we were pregnant! PREGNANT! I still am overjoyed that there is a baby growing in my tummy :) 

Yesterday was our last visit to our RE. It was very bittersweet. Our doctor helped our dreams come true. She was there for us in the bad times and the good. The nurses are wonderful and I am going to miss them all. We will meet with our new doctor towards the end of June and I have faith we will have just as excellent care from them.  I am excited to see our baby grow bigger and bigger until we finally get to meet him or her. I have seen many blogs with pregnancy questions so I thought it would be fun to do every so often. 

How far along: 12 weeks 6 days 

Total Weight Gain/Loss: As of the last time I weighed this week I was down 9 pounds! 

Maternity clothes: Not yet. 

Stretch marks: Only from Delainee.  

Sleep: I sleep pretty good. Sometimes I don't even get up once to go to the bathroom. The past few days I haven't slept as good because I have a sunburn. 

Best moment this week: We had our last appointment with our RE and got to see our little baby. 

Movement: Not yet.

Food cravings: I haven't had any real cravings. Things sound good sometimes is all. 

Gender: Don't know yet. Delainee says boy. David says boy. I think girl. 

Labor signs: N/A

Belly button - in or out? In. Have never had a belly button out so that would freak me out! 

What I miss: That is hard because I am
so thankful to have this baby growing. 

What I am looking forward to: Finding out what we're having and movements. 

Milestones: Getting past the morning sickness. It has improved so much! 

Here is a picture of our baby from yesterday. It was a tired baby that didn't want to wake up. The tech was shaking my stomach and poking around but the only reaction she got was arms thrown up like leave me alone!
