13 Weeks...

This is pregnancy number 5 for this mama and I am elated. This is truly my miracle baby as we are still unsure of how or when this baby was conceived. (save the lecture we KNOW how, were just not sure HOW it were possible!) This baby comes on the heels of loss number 3. We were to begin fertility testing and I called the doctor because I was running behind schedule and began to get concerned. His response was to go home, take a home test and call with the results. If it were negative, wait a week and give him a call; if positive come in immediately for bloodwork. I literally almost fell over as it was completely unexpected, but the test was positive. June 23rd, 2008 was a great day for this mama as pregnancy was confirmed and a progesterone supplement was given to sustain the pregnancy. I am happy to report that I am no longer taking the progesterone, I have not had to take it for approximately two weeks now and we are STILL pregnant!!!

We are so ridiculously excited and thank all of you for your prayers and support through this difficult journey. We have now entered the second trimester and are well on our way to bringing a new life into this world. Possibly the next Einstein, we will find out February 2009! Estimated due date is February 28th, but the ultrasound last week showed dates between the 25th and March 1st. I am secretly hoping we deliver March 1st as this is a very significant date in our lives. Hubby and I started our relationship March 1st, 1998 so if we deliver our second born on that date we will celebrate both 11 years together and a new birthday! YAY!!!

Until next time!
