So far so good!

I had alittle scare last night that landed me in the ER. At about 3 p.m. I started cramping really bad and after 6 hours with no relief Patrick and my mom made me go to the ER just to make sure there was nothing wrong. Long story short the care I received was awful so at 4 a.m. we decided we had had enough and walked out. I spoke to my RE first thing in the morning and she had me come in at 2:30 to check on me and the bean. During my ultrasound she discovered a cyst on my right ovary but said it was more then likely not the cause of the cramping. She checked on bean and he/she was measuring right on target at 6 weeks 1 day. Although we were unable to find the heart beat she said that was ok this early on. We scheduled another ultrasound for September 9th by then there is no reason why we would not be able to hear the heart. So for now I am home and trying to relax, in hopes that the cramps go away. I did take some tylenol but it is not making much of a difference. Hopefully alittle R&R will do me good. So for now I am off to bed. It's past bean's bed time and I figure I might as well try to get him/her on a schedule ... lol ... yeah right! Wouldn't that be nice if it actually worked! For all reading please keep bean in your thoughts until we hear that heart beat. For now we are in another two week wait ... it never ends!

I'm great to bad life sucks!

The bean and I are still well, 1T ailments have been kicking in. So far I have had headaches for over a week, I am still drooling all over myself, I'm bloated, fatigued, dizzy and queasy but luckily no vomiting. gassy like there is no tomorrow, peeing quite frequently, I still have some bouts of insomnia and my newest RPS indigestion. Other then that I feel great! I am eagerly counting down the days till my first ultrasound. And nervous as can be! I keep going through the what if stage. What if somethings wrong, what if they don't see the baby, what if it does not have a heard beat. I am just ready for Thursday the 28th to come already so I can calm my nerves.
I am again going through a week of hell! Monday I got my third flat tire. Who gets three flat tires in such a short time frame. And if that was not bad enough my A/C went out last night. So in 105 degree weather I had to Drive Patrick to work, meet with a client and drive clear across town. It was a nightmare, and to top it off the first dealership I went to did not have the part that I needed so I had to drive even further out to go to a second dealership. I got lucky though because they had one loaner car left and let me have it. So my car will be in the shop until Saturday or Monday and for now I get to drive around in the 2008 C230. Luckily I was smart enough to buy an extended warranty when I got me car so all of my repairs are covered. I asked the service manager to give my car a good once over to make sure that there was no other work that needed to be preformed. Might as well use my warranty while I have it... Right!
My plans tonight are to lay in bed and hopefully get some rest. I might even take a bath to see if that helps. Thankfully tomorrow is Friday, I plan on being completely lazy this weekend to try to make up for all of the stress I have put on my body through this week. If nothing else I am going to float in the pool and let my stress melt away.

Crazy week

This week started off perfect. Great beta's, scheduled my first ultrasound, I was feeling great and then the good turned to bad. Tuesday I got a flat tire had the Mercedes dealership send out roadside assistance to change it for me. Luckily I was at my moms so I did not have to sit outside in 108 degree weather. I ask the roadside assistance guy to check on my other three tires just to be safe. And he tells me everything looks good but in the next thousand or so miles I should look into replacing the front right tire. (The front left is the one that blew out) Great so I head to pick up Patrick driving like an old lady because I was riding on the spare and right as I am pulling in ... POP! The right tire blows out. You have to be F-ing kidding me. I sit there crying because I know cars only come with one spare and mine is already on the car. So I again call Mercedes and they tell me they can not tow is since it is not a warranty issue. I cry to the girl for 5 minutes and she tells me she could send someone but they are going to charge $75 for the hook up and $9 a mile. That would be great if I had any cash on me but of course everything I have is in the bank. So I call my mom by this point I am hyperventilating. My mom quickly calms me down and tells me with a laugh to get my hormones under control she is on the way to pick me and Patrick up. We leave the car overnight in his work parking lot and take anything not connected to the car. (Since I work out of my car it is filled with real estate files and credit reports) We head home where I feel helpless. It's to late at night to check tire prices. And at this point it is 9:30 and I am exhausted. I head to sleep only to be woken up with hot flashes. I lay there for 30+ minutes trying to cool down but it's not working. So I head downstairs and adjust the thermostat to 73. Go back to bed and pass out. I wake up again 3 hours later drenched in my own spit because I am drooling all over myself. As if that is not bad enough it is so cold in the house that I have to go downstairs and again adjust the thermostat. I quickly dry my bed and my face and head back to bed. Only to be awoken again 20 minutes later to go pee. This happens 2 nights in a row. I wake in the morning still exhausted and having to run around in 110+ degree weather getting the car towed and tires fixed. When all that was done I felt relieved since I wanted new tires or a new car before the baby is born. I just assumed I had 9 months to complete that task... Guess not!
Then comes last night my sister asks us if we would watch my nephew for the night so she could go out for drinks with some friends. I thought no biggy just drop him off at my house and I will watch him. All is going well. Reece is fast asleep, and as I get ready to go to bed I hear a loud dog barking. It's only 10 p.m. so I try not to let it bother me. Until midnight rolls around and the dog is still outside barking. All I keep thinking was this baby is going to wake up and I am going to be stuck awake all night. At about 1 a.m. the dog finally shuts up and I go to sleep. At 5 a.m. the dog starts barking again. Who leaves there dog outside for the entire night and does not have the courtesy to bring them in when they are barking like that. Finally Reece hears it and wakes up. Great now I'm up at 7 a.m. my sister comes to pick him up and I am just exhausted. I want to go back to sleep but there is no way in hell that's going to happen.

Who would have thought that such a great week could turn into such trash. Thankfully me and the bean are doing fine. Although I could use a good nights rest. My mom thinks I am actually lucky since both tires blew in good locations and not while I was on the freeway or something. Maybe she is right but right now I am not feeling so lucky!

Yeah for good beta's

So my count went from 14 on Friday to 78 today. Yeahhhhhh I am so excited. What a great feeling. I just pray that this is a sticky little bean. Please be a sticky bean =(

I guess 8/8/08 is a lucky day after all ....

Today has been filled with mixed emotion. Not only is it the anniversary of when my puppy Chewy passed away. It was also the day of my first BFP from an IUI. While I am ecstatic from my BFP I am nervous about the beta count as it is only 14. At the same time I am only 12 DPO and AF is not due for another 2 days so I will pretend that is the reason my numbers are so low. It's strange to be so happy yet sad at the same time. I do have to go back on Monday and have my beta's re checked. So with that being said this is going to be a long weekend. My EDD per FF is 4/19/2009 wow that seems so far away. I just hope that this little bean sticks. I guess the Chinese were right 8's are lucky. I think I am going to go play $20 in the casino and see if my luck continues.

To my little boy Chewy, Not a day goes by that I do not think of you. This has been a long year with alot of up's and down's. I miss you more then you could ever know. And wish you were hear to meet your new brother/sister. I know you are looking down on daddy and me from heaven and I hope that you can feel the love that we still hold for you. You are and will always be in our hearts.
RIP baby boy we love you and miss you

Just my luck .....

So I am getting ready for bed and doing my nightly routine I know that if i don't do something to take my mind off of tomorrow I will never fall asleep. I grab my progesterone and head to the bathroom to take care of business and as I pull the applicator out I notice a spot of pink. No f-ing way. I grab some toilet paper and wipe and sure enough there is another streak of pink. So it looks like I will have no need for a blood test since AF seems to be arriving. I told Patrick I was going to see what happens in the morning and if there is more blood I will call my RE and see what she wants me to do. I am so bummed out! Although I must say I would rather AF show up then get that dreaded call that it is a BFN. Ughhhhh can a girl just catch a break!!!!!!!

Is it Friday yet????

I am so impatient! I know Friday is only 4 days away but why do the days have to go by soooooo slow??? I have been feeling what I call IPS but could also be the progesterone in action. My boobs have been really heavy and sore and my nips feel like they are on fire, I have been very tired, 2 days of headaches, congested, and running very warm. Now I know this could all be from the progesterone but I like to think it is because I am hopefully going to get my BFP on Friday. I took my temp tonight just to see what it says since I have been feeling very warm and it said my afternoon temp was 98.9 kind of high for me in the 2ww as I usually run no higher then 98.4-98.6 I would blame it on the hot weather but I have been home relaxing for 2.5 hours and due to the weather clouds it was only 98 degrees when I was out running around. I know to some that seems high but when you are use to 105 and up 91 is kind of a vacation. I wish it would rain though. The weather calls for rain all week but it is only a 20-30% chance. So it is not looking to good. I am kind of hoping it does not rain this week as rain always makes the days go by slow to me.

So for not I wait... and wait and wait and wait and wait. Ahhhh when does it end!
