We Are Having a Baby!!

Finally!! I feel great to be able to tell everyone that we are having a baby! I officially announced it on Facebook last week after our first Dr apt where we heard the heartbeat but I have had no time to update this darn blog! I so wish I were better at blogging!

Our official due date is March 14th, and I am 12 weeks this week. I found out I was pregnant like right away because of all the months of tracking my cycle and being on fertility meds. I got a positive result at right under 5 weeks! So this has been so long to keep my mouth shut lol! The boys are so excited and constantly asking about the baby and Parker loves looking at pictures of babies in my pregnancy books, its adorable. I think when the baby comes they will be at great ages to be involved with everything, by then Payton will be 5 1/2 and Parker will be 4 1/2. Both boys even recently said they want a sister, I was blown away! I can't lie if I didn't say I would love to have a girl, but if it is a boy I know what to do with him, lol! This is probably last baby so I am really trying to enjoy this pregnancy. Its been hard though because I literally was very very sick and exhausted from week 6 to 11, and couldn't eat and all I could do was go to bed. Thank goodness I am getting over it now because I start back up with school and clinicals this week and that is no time to be sick! 2014 will for sure be a busy year with the birth of our new baby, me graduating with my nurse practitioner degree, probably starting a new job thereafter and the ever busy schedule of my husband and boys!

Next apt with the Dr is later in September (19th) and at that point we will get an ultrasound to check my cervix and then discuss the possiblity of needing Progesterone Injections throughout my pregnancy because I had preterm labor/bedrest with Parker. I am hoping my ultrasound looks good because I really don't want to have to have a shot every week for the entire pregnancy, however, I will if it keeps this baby in where it needs to be!!

Phew, it feels so good to tell everyone our exciting little secret!!!!!! Pictures to come!
