I am disappointed that I didn’t keep up my blog for my entire pregnancy with them, but things got so so crazy! I find myself going back to it all of the time now that I am pregnant again to remind myself how I was feeling at certain times!!
Savier and I agreed to start fertility treatment again in February of this
year, but we couldn’t get all of the appointments scheduled and insurance stuff
figured out until much later. We did one IUI in May and it was unsuccessful. We
had to wait 30 days before starting again because it left cysts in my ovaries.
So on June 21 we had our second IUI and on July 2, only 11dpiui, I got a positive test!! I was getting bad cramps in one specific spot on the left side of my uterus and I felt like I just knew which is what justified my testing three days early!! I went in for my betas on the 6th and 8th (15dpiui and 17dpiui). The first one was 846 and the second was 2023! These are significantly higher than what they were with the twins so Savier is convinced that we will have multiples again! Lol!
The clinic we go to doesn’t do an ultrasound until 7 weeks, so it is scheduled for next Tuesday, three days from now!!! I feel like we have been waiting FOREVER already! I started feeling really sick a few days ago and it’s been getting worse and worse. On Thursday morning before work Savier was making me breakfast while I got ready for work. I walked into the kitchen and saw and smelled the bacon on the stove (which I typically eat every day!) and threw up. I remember feeling sick with H and Q, but not physically throwing up! Today I went out and bought preggie pops, some acupuncture bracelets, some morning sickness tea, and pretty much anything that I could find at Target for pregnancy nausea!
I feel like I am getting so big already and it’s freaky! I showed quickly last time since I had twins and was so skinny before getting pregnant and I know that they say that its normal to show faster the second time, but damn! I am also on progesterone suppositories again, though which make me SUPER bloated. Im 99% sure my bump is all bloat! Im strongly considering even breaking out my maternity uniform pants for Monday because I had to unbutton two buttons the other day. Only two people at work know that I am pregnant though so Im trying to hold off until after the ultrasound!
The girls are all super excited about a new baby and Mak and Hayden say they want a boy baby while Quinn says she wants a girl baby ;) lol. Our list of names so far is:
Girl -
Brielle
Shay
Gianna
Evelyn
(I want Shay for a middle name if we don’t choose it for a first!)
Boy-
Gianni Cade/Carlo/Marcel
I’m super excited for our growing family! I’m so thankful for everything that we have been blessed with and our wonderful life! It is going to be an interesting adventure, for sure. My due date should be March 14, so H and Q will be 3 and Mak will be 7 when the baby(ies) is(are) born! I always thought that I wanted another baby around the time that Hayden and Quinn turned 2, but I am so glad it worked out the way that it did and they will be 3 instead! They are growing and progressing so much and I absolutely adore being able to soak up every moment of it right now! They seriously are the most perfect children I ever could have dreamed of! One day I will make another post about that pregnancy and birth with all of my final pictures and some pictures of them! =)
Life is beautiful and I share is with the most amazing people on earth! <3
