NO MORE...

My RE doctor called to congratulate me on Friday. He said I have "solid numbers" and wished me a great pregnancy.

I had LOTS of questions for him. The first being

"CAN I STILL RIDE ON THE BACK OF OUR HARLEY?" He chuckled and said "No, you have worked too hard to get pregnant, I just don't want you bouncing around on the back of the bike."

So much for our end of the season ride and this most likely means I will be "OUT" for Sturgis next year LOL!

Also, no more 4-wheeler, go-cart OR jumping on our trampoline with the kids LOL!

I guess I never thought of all this stuff before!

I am feeling good. Just VERY TIRED, sore boobs, a smidge of nausea, constipation, frequent bathroom trips and I just FEEL bigger than I am LOL! Yesterday at church, I felt like "everyone knew I was preggers." I am paranoid, what can I say?

The PIO shots have also caused a rash on my rear end. IT ITCHES LIKE MAD! I have the choice to either continue having an itchy rear or do 3 vaginal suppositories a day which sounds like NO FUN! I really do not want to put anything up there so for now I am sticking to the shots!

I am 5 weeks 2 days already! Which means their little heart/hearts have already begun to beat. Hard to believe! God is so amazing! I will have my sono in one week! So exciting!

GROW BABIES GROW!

RELAXING...

That's what I am doing now that I just got my 3rd beta #! It needed to be above 600~

Drumroll please......


920!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yippee YI YI YAY! Giving Him ALL THE GLORY!

BTW, I'm also giving HIM ALL THE GLORY FOR MY NAUSEA! THANK YOU LORD!

Time to go hang up the big bag of maternity clothes I bought at Target! I was waiting for these results before I unpacked them!

Beta #2 Update

The nurse at my clinic did not seem concerned she said it was a good number and normal however they do want me to do another Beta on Friday and would like to see the number above 600. Patience, God is teaching me more patience right?

Praying my little one/ones are doing okay in there!

BETA #2

331

I am not thrilled with this number. Still waiting on the doctor to call and tell me what he thinks. I know it most likely means one of my little ones is no longer with me.

I will update after I chat with Dr.

NapTIME...

Has become a routine part of my EVERY DAY! I'm exhausted. Luckily, I nap when my other kids nap so that is WONDERFUL!

Nap time was VERY SPECIAL today because I woke up to THESE!!!!!! Over 2 dozen roses!!!!! They are from a couple that has a LOT to do with our embryo adoption. I will be telling you ALL about them later. My FIRST congratulatory gift-THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I decided to put these on my night stand.And these on my dressing table in my bathroom.

Another GLORIOUS day of GROWING BABIES & Friendship!!!

Can't wait for my beta results tomorrow!

A FRIEND LOVES AT ALL TIMES! Proverbs 17:17

3 Gifts!

• Besides the wonderful GIFT of my great beta,

• The second gift is 2-fold. The first part-a FLU SHOT-UGH! It was a CINCH compared to the progesterone shots. The second part of the gift was when lab tech called back to the nurse and said "WE HAVE an OB patient here that needs a flu shot." AN OB Patient? Who ON EARTH was she talking about. OH HEAVENS....LITTLE Ol' ME!

• I HEADED TO TARJAY right after my beta and flu shot & purchased myself gift #3...

A BODY PILLOW!! I looked on-line at pregnancy pillows. They are like $50. This hot little number was $20. $10 for the pillow, $10 for the giraffe cover that's soft like butter.

Can't wait to curl up to this BAD BOY tonight... AHHHHHH!!!

Dear Lord,

Tonight I thank you for everything you have given me. I thank you for letting my "jewel/jewels" survive thus far. Father, I know that these children are truly yours and I promise I will be the best mom I can be to them and teach them all about you.

Tonight I want to say a special thank you for all the IF friends you've brought into my life. I want to pray for those hurting, still trying, on their 2ww, in limbo or suffering a loss tonight. I hurt for them tonight. Father, give them hope. Reassure them that with YOU all things are possible. AMEN.

BETA IN....

1st official Beta....


196!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank YOU JESUS! Giving HIM all the GLORY!

Next beta Wednesday then 1st u/s 16th YIPPEE!
