For all wondering minds!  This is whats going on right now in our lives.  I really don't like to talk about, I don't like to explain it, I am mad, I am sad, I don't understand why, I am over it!!!!

• We had an HSG dye test done April 11 to check my tubes and make sure I had no blockages that was causing us to not get pregnant.  Everything looked fine.  They said I was more fertile after "cleaning everything out"
• Jason went to China for two weeks, but not before I ovulated.
• I started cramping about a week before I was supposed to start, which I always do. Figured I wasn't preggo. Never thought anything about.
• I was supposed to start my period Thursday.  Had big plans hoping I was pregnant and buying a "Big Sister" shirt and taking balloons to airport to surprise Daddy that we were pregnant.
• Wednesday morning I was changing one of the little girls diapers I babysit and the smelled made me so sick I threw up in my mouth and and to run to bathroom.  I thought hmmm maybe I am pregnant because the smell of something made me so sick. Took a test it was negative. Got on with my week not surprised I wasn't pregnant.
• Jason comes up Saturday and I still hadn't started but my period.  We go to breakfast on Sunday for his bday and on the way home I say "Should I buy another test?"  He said he will run back out later and get one.
• Later that afternoon he runs out and gets a test and I take it we stand there waiting for it to be negative and hes reading to see what exactly  a positive looks like and bamm there ya go!!! I handed it to him and said Happy Birthday!!  IT WAS POSITIVE!!
• We were in shock to say the least!  I had never been so excited about my boobs hurting and my stomach cramping!
• Monday I went to doctor for blood test to confirm the two test I took at home.  We went out that evening and I started getting so tired and was falling asleep in the car. I went to bed at 8 that night!  Once again, never been so happy to be so tired just because I knew it was because I was pregnant. 
• Tuesday- got the call from doctor confirming I was pregnant, but levels were really low and they put me on progesterone pills.  She also told me there was a chance of miscarriage. 
• Went back for another count of Wednesday and my HCG levels went from a 52 to a 53.  They are supposed to double every other day.  They knew I was going to miscarry after that.  It was nothing they could or done or nothing I could have done.  It just wasn't mean to be.
• I started miscarrying Thursday night.  
• Now we are right where we started...only child! :(
• When we say we don't want to talk about it....we don't want to talk about. Maybe we will....maybe we wont, but until then it's something that we can't bring ourselves to talk about with others.

Up and down......

I feel like all I get done blogging about is our journey to get pregnant.  But that seems to be the only thing on my mind recently.  It's been a roller coaster of emotions the past few days.  It started Monday when we went to see the Dr for a checkup for being on clomid for 3 months.  I saw my actual Dr. instead of the PA which always makes me feel better.  The appoinment went really well and I was very confident after talking to her.  She reccomended coming in Wednesday (today) for an ultrasound to measure my follicle size.  If everything looked good we were going to take an HCG trigger shot and then have an IUI done.  The trigger shot makes you ovulate 24-48 hours after taking it.  So, that meant that we were for sure going to ovulate and actually know a pretty good time frame.  I am really bad with trying to use the right medical terms for things so here is the definition of an IUI :
IUI stands for intrauterine insemination. Also known as artificial insemination (AI), IUI fertility treatment involves placing specially washed sperm directly into the woman’s uterus through a small tube. The procedure is low tech and completed in the doctor’s office by either a nurse or doctor.

So this was the plan:  Get the ultrasound, take the shot, go back for the procedure, and then hope it worked.  It wasn't a cheap plan either.  Our insurance doesn't cover any of the procedures so it was all "out of pocket" for a chance (not guaranteed to work) to get pregnant.  I had so many emotions in those two days of whether or not to actually do it, but deep down I really wanted to.

Fast forward to today.  We went in for an ultrasound hoping everything was alright.  Well the ultrasound tech measured everything and made us think that my follicles were fine.  We waited to talk to the doc and she was out so we saw the PA.   She told us that my follicles were just a little too big to do the IUI.  From what she explained is the follicles are what turn into the egg.  There is still a chance to get pregnant, but the chance to get pregnant is slim because the follicle is big.  Pretty much it wasn't worth putting the money into an IUI when there was a good chance it wasn't going to work.

She suggested coming back next month and having another ultrasound done to check my follicle size and then if its the right size we can do an IUI. We are still up in the air about where to go from here.  Just to have the ultrasound done today was approximately $200.  So there's another chance we could put $200 dollars into an ultrasound and be told its the wrong size.  If it is the right size we could have the IUI done and that will be approximately another $400 on top of everything else.  We really can't afford to put that kind of money out there for a "chance" at things that are not a for sure thing.  We are throwing all options around right now, even to stop trying and just have one baby.

Sorry if this is all over the place, it is just so hard to explain when I am still so confused on so many things myself.

Trying again.....

For those of you who would like to know the full story you can go here.

We were on our second month of taking clomid this past month.  I thought for sure this was the month.  I just had that feeling that everything was going to go as planned. I had passed the days I thought I was supposed to ovulate and Jason went out of town for a few days.  I woke up one night with the worst pain, to the point I couldn't go back to sleep.  I thought my ovaries were going to fall out of me.

Two weeks had passed and it was time to start.  I didn't.  For some reason I honestly wasn't even excited at the thought of being pregnant.  For some reason I got this huge feeling of guilt for having another baby and taking time away from Bailey.  I have wanted to be pregnant again for so long and thought I could possibly be pregnant and didn't even want to be anymore. 

We waited about 3 days and I still hadn't started.  Jason went and bought a pregnancy test.  I took it right away and it was negative.  Then I got another huge feeling of sadness for not being pregnant.  I swear I have the mood swings of pregnancy without being pregnant.  So once again I am dissappointed for not being pregnant.  After thinking back I guess I had just ovulated later than I had expected or was supposed to.  I have always ovulated right on time.

I am now taking clomid again for the 3rd month.  We have an appointment in about a week to discuss things with my doctor.  I desperately want to do something more than taking clomid to help, but insurance doesn't cover much and we can not afford to put the money into it right now and then pay for the doctor bills for being pregnant and having a second child.  The thing that scares me the most is I can only take clomid for 6 months.  I am not sure if there is another pill they can give me or we are just out of luck.  I hate researching it becauase I feel that its always going to happen this month. 

I will update you later when we go to the doctors appointment.  Once again for those of you I talk to in person I apologize for not telling you.  For some reason it is one of the hardest things for me to talk about it. It is easier for some reason for me to just type it and then not talk about it.  If you know me I want what I want when I want it.  This is one thing that is completely out of my control for the most part of when it is going to happen.

Try, try again, and again

I keep saying I am back to the blog world and then keep dissappointing myself in not following through.  I am going to go ahead and explain the reasoning.  I have not talked about this with really anyone at all, for several reasons.  So for family members if you are reading this and this comes to a little shock I apologize, but I have my reasons for not wanting to talk about it.  I know I never post without pictures, but considering the subject I decided to refrain.

Last January (2009) Jason and I had a discussion/arguement about having another baby.  At first he was ready and I wasn't then I was ready and he wasn't.  After talking about it for a few days we decided that we would start trying to make Bailey a Big Sister.  I thought it was the perfect time because the baby would be born in the fall and then it would be old enough for family vacation the following summer and we wouldn't have to sit a summer out. I know it was a big decision with Bailey being so young and just crawling at the time, but knew our little girl was growing up fast.  I had an appointment with my doctor and even discussed getting pregnant with her and if I was crazy to want to get pregnant with a baby that was about 7 months old.  She said go for it!! That month began our journey of working on a baby.

When we started trying for Bailey it only took us three months to get pregnant so I thought this time would be a breeze as well.  I have never taken birth control so it wasn't even an issue to have to go off of it.  I also have been really regular and knew when I ovulated every month.  I really thought to myself this is going to be a piece of cake.

Well, months went by, still I never got pregnant.  Don't get me wrong I know it doesn't always happen that soon, but in my mind I thought I would be pregnant in at least 6 months.  We started getting worried around that time so Jason made an appointment just to make sure everything was good on his end.  He was tested twice for sperm count and mobility and everything was fine.  (On a side note:  They told Jason he had borderline abnormally high sperm count.  I recommend that no doctor tell any man that.  Talk about something he was gloating about.)So in September I called my doctor to get everything checked out because we had been trying for 9 months.  All results came back that I was ovulating and said to keep trying, and that we did!

I ended up going back to the doctor in January for my yearly visit and discussed my problems again.  After a year of trying I guess you are considered having "fertility problems."  Everything looked normal and they scheduled me for an ultrasound around the time I was supposed to ovualate to actually see in my tubes were ripe and going to release an egg.  Sure enough I was about to release an egg and once again said to go home and try, try, try!!  No luck once again.

So last month they put me on Clomid; it is supposed to help ripen your eggs or help ovulate.  I don't really know the technical terms for it, I just know it's a hormone to help get me pregnant.  The first month we had no success.  We are now on the second month of Clomid and will see how things go from there.

This brings me to why I have not been blogging much.  It seems as if everytime I get on here and read friends blogs I regulary read, everyone is popping up pregnant.  Everytime I get on facebook I have another friend who is pregnant, or someone who knows someone who just had a baby.  Don't get me wrong I am happy for everyone who is having babies.  It just hurts when I have been trying for so long and not succeeding.  I guess jealousy is getting the best of me in that department.

I would like to aplogize again to close family that are just finding out through my blog.  It is something that I don't talk about, but to Jason.  It hurts to much to talk about the dissapointment.  I never wanted to tell people we were trying because I wanted it to be a surprise when it actually happened.  We get asked daily when we are having another one and it hurts to know that we are trying so hard, so I try and blow it off like "Oh I don't know."

For some reason I thought I might feel better getting it out in the open and writing about it (but if I talk to you in person please don't ask me about it because I only cry.)  I actually have only teared up once writing/typing this.  I guess I am braver behind a computer screen.  If you have had problems simliar to mine I would love to hear your outcome and the steps you took.

I am constantly thinking of the next step we might have to take and the money it could cost to have other treatments done in the near future.  I would pay anything to have another child if I had the money.  I just hope we don't have to resort to those measures.  So I am not asking for sympathy, just to please think of us and keep your fingers crossed that getting pregnant happens sometime very soon in the future.

WOW this was really hard to type and even harder to read it back.  Thanks in advance for listening!

78.  All of the reasons above are why I am scared to have another baby.  I am pretty sure I was too spoiled the first time.  The next one is probably going to be total opposite.
79.  Don't ask when I am having the next.  It is one question we get asked daily and probably one of the most annoying. 
80.  I am a very private person in some ways.  I will let ya know when we are having another one when there is a postive test.

84.  What was I thinking making this list??? I am running out of facts fast!!  I made it this far better not stop now.
85.  I really have the itch to repaint and redecorate every room in my house.  I am trying to come up with ways to do it with little money.  I saw someone call it something like redecorange or something like that.
86.  I can not read anything that is further than about 6 inches from my face without contacts or glasses on.  I am not exaggerating.
87. I have never eaten deer meat.  We now have a freezer full of it and Jason thinks he is going to make me start eating it.
88.  I love getting mail!  Especially catalogs or magazines!
89.  I am totally obsessed with Lady Antebellem right now.
90.  I babysit for one of my bestfriends babies, Jackson.  He is 7 months old.

91.  We went from living in a one bedroom apartment to a four bedroom house that is crammed full of stuff.  I just dont understand how we accumulated so much stuff in a short amount of time.
92.  I have had gray hair since I was about 20 years.  I hide it so you will never know. Unless you are reading this.
93.  We bought a house plant when we first moved in the house and it wont die!!!  I can not water it for weeks and it still keeps a kickin!  We finally sat it on the back porch and are hoping the frost kills it.  I have such the green thumb.
94.  I can make a killer apple margarita!!
95.  I watch way too much Nick Jr.  Sometimes I catch myself watching it after Bailey has walked out of the room just to see what happens.  I hate missing the ending to shows.
96.  I do the same thing with books.  If she walks away from me reading it I continue reading to see the end.
97.  I don't know how I ever lived without DVR!!!!
98.  I probably skipped a number or 2 and I really dont care.  I am not going back through to make sure. 
99.  I don't think there is anything else you could possible want to know about me.
100.  You probably didn't care about half of this but thought I would give you 100 facts on my 100th post!

Babies, Babies, Babies

Its funny how things change once you have kids.  I have attended Marshall University homecoming for the last 9 years missing only once.  At the time we lived in VA beach and drove all the way in for the weekend to go and BAM I am having horrible morning sickness. (Did I mention that I had all day sickness for the whole pregnancy?--finally was medicated for it)  Anyhoo.....this past weekend was MU's homecoming and of course we went.  I was in a sorority while at Marshall and every year they do a chilifest and invite all alumnae to come.  Well we go there to start the day off and then tailgate all day.  Well now there are tons of us that have children now and tailgating kind of changes when you are chasing around kids..esp mine...she doesnt know what it means to sit down.  So one of us gets to drink and the other one is the designated driver.  One guess who drinks??? Jason! It is so neat to get them together because it doesnt happen that much.  Here are some pictures of the kids playing and their mamas.  This is only some of the girls!  Wish more of you could have  made it!!

Me w/ Bailey 16 months, Mandy w/ Kenlie and Kylie 14 months, and Becca w/Jackson 5 1/2 months

(Mandy has a 6 year old little boy.  She wanted to have a girl so bad and knew she just never was going to have one.  When she found out I was having a girl she was so mad bc she just knew she was having another boy.  She came to my baby shower and looked at the nursery and made comments like I will never have a pink room and yaddayadda yadda! LOL Be careful what you wish for.  She got 2!...naturally)

Some more of the girls that are still single and livin the dream!

Everyone thought Bailey and the twins looked alike all day.  What do you think??

She tries to be so motherly and had to give them both love.  Shes a little momma to everyone.

This picture cracks me up because they were like this all morning.  I sometimes want to scream having one toddler.  I cant imagine doing it double time.  WOW

On a side note I have a really funny story...or at least I think it is funny.  Since I have been babysitting Jackson I have had to teach Bailey to put her finger to her mouth and say shshshshsh.  The only time she does it is when I tell her too or when we go upstairs around the bedroom Jackson sleeps in.  Well we went to my parents house yesterday for dinner and my mom was holding Bailey singing some hideous song and Bailey looked at her and said SHSHSHSHSH!!  Obviously she didn't think my mom was a very good singer hahaha....wonder why?

37 weeks 5 days

Well nothing has really changed since last time I wrote on here. I'm still pregnant! We went shopping today and bought the outfit we are going to bring Bailey home in. Then we bought two more outfits and then some booties...did I mention before she didn't need any clothes? She is definatly cut off now from shopping!! I can not believe she talked us into buying her stuff today. Anyways I just wanted to put a few new pictures up because I haven't put any up recently. They are from 3 different days though..Mothers day and two different days this this past weekend. Enjoy! I will update on Tuesday...unless Bailey arrives before then!!

37 weeks 1 day

Another day another doc appointment!!! Bailey weighs 5 lbs 6ozs...shes a tiny little thing! The doctor is not worried about her though...she said I was really small so it doesnt surprise her that the baby is small. My amniotic fluid is low and she is a little worried about that. We go back next Tuesday and have it checked again and if its still low then she might have to induce me then because it isnt safe for the baby. If everything looks good next week then she is shooting to have me induced the night of the 25th! That means Miss Bailey will be born on May 26th! But.....dont forget....I could still go into labor on my own any day before that!

36 weeks 2 days

Well we had a doctor appt today and everything went really good! I am 1 cm dialated, 50% effaced, and the baby is at 0 station! Yeah it all confuses me too if thats what you are thinking. Well obviously you have to be 10 cm to deliver (about the size of a cupcake wrapper flattened in case you were wondering). You have to be 100% effaced or thinned out to deliver so I am half way there in that department! The 0 station means that her head is already down in the pelvis area...the doctor could feel her head!! I told her she could deliver her now if she wanted! Anyways........I said well just tell me what all this means. I said do you think I will deliver in the next two weeks and she said ..........YES!! If I dont go into labor within the next two weeks they are going to induce me!!! We go next week for another appt and another ultrasound to get her exact measurements to see if she is small enough and I'm big enough to deliver her! Right now she is guessing that Miss Bailey weighs between 6lbs-6 1/2lbs. So you never know you could be getting a phone call any day now that we are headed to the hospital!!!

36 weeks

I wish I had some updates for you. We just celebrated Jasons birthday this past week. We are also getting ready to celebrate our first wedding anniverary. Besides that everything is the same pretty much. I am starting to wear down with activity. A trip to walmart is very tiring and cant make it through the store without at least 2 trips to the bathroom. We go to the doctor on Thursday so hopefully we will find out some good news then. Just didnt want everyone to think I forgot about writing on here. I will update you again after the appointment!

35 weeks

Well not much going on just the same ole day to day stuff. Still pregnant in case you were wondering! Bailey is kicking harder than before and when she moves my whole belly moves. I'm pretty sure she is ready to meet us or at least I wish she was. Jasons office bought us our playpen which was really exciting. We put it together the first day we got it. Now we have all this baby stuff around the house and no baby to go in it! Can you tell I'm getting impatient? Well here are some pictures. Enjoy!

New Pics 34weeks

Well today we have had a lot of movement! She has been sitting on my right side and you can see the difference between my right and left side. I'm not sure if its her head or what but the right side of my belly was definatly harder than the left all day. Also lots of braxton hicks contractions going on....or at least what we think is going on. Here are some pictures we took this evening after dinner.

34 week checkup

We went to the doc today and everything is going great! I am measuring right at 34 cm and have gained a total of......24 lbs. We were also told that 75-80% of first time moms deliver about 2 weeks early! She also said because I am so small theres more of a chance for me to deliver sooner! And last but not least she said she would not let me go over my due date! So if Bailey is not here by June 3 she will induce me! So if you are betting on due dates I would shoot for May! I do not believe we are going to have a little junebug!! We have one more 2 week appt and then after that I go every week!

Starting laundry...

Well I started washing all of Baileys things yesterday. Mainly all of the oniesies, bath stuff, and blankets. Well that was an all day thing....taking off all the tags and opening the bags they came in. I did a huge load of clothes...which is a lot because her clothes are small....and doesnt it look like I touched her closet or dresser. This baby has way tooooo many clothes! She does not need any at all....I dont even look at clothes anymore when I go shopping because its pointless and a waste of money right now. Other than that everything is still the same...enjoying the 80 degree weather and feeling her kick ALL the time. She is going to be very strong because she is out of control when it comes to kicking and punching! You can just sit there and watch my belly and it goes up and down! But she is very snobby when it comes to touching the belly. She will toss, turn, kick, punch, and hiccup until someone other than me or her daddy touches the belly....then she stops!! Well off to enjoy the weather some and get ready for the weekend!

Well I have received a few emails with feedback on the page. Seems like everyone is enjoying the updates! We went to birthing class on Tuesday. The teacher went through different signs of labor and all the stages. Wow....it is very nerve racking not knowing when its going to happen exactly. In case you didnt know I'm a hypochondriac...so now I think every little thing that happens to my body I'm going to go into labor. I know its too early but thats just how I am. We also went and bought more stuff for Bailey....neverending. We got some bottles, baby monitor, changing pad, and a few things. So all of you out there that have used the diaper genie or know someone who has....what is your opinion? Would you suggest buying it or do you think its a waste of money? Until next time....Kristi

Ok Here goes...I have never done this blogging thing and I hope that it doesnt confuse anyone. I thought this is an easier way to let friends and family see whats going on in our little family without emailing or calling to let everyone know. It keeps everyone on the same page and can check it out when its conveinent for you. Right now we are going to birthing classes once a week for 3 more weeks. They are teaching breathing techniques and how to know when you are in labor. I'm clueless to the whole thing in a way and guess I will know when it happens and Jason will be in town! We are still trying to finish the babys room with last minute touches. As of right now we are going to the doc every two weeks, we spend more time in the waiting room than with the doc. Right now we are 33 weeks, wow doesnt seem like its been that long huh? WRONG! I feel like I have been pregnant for at least a year! Alright well thats it for now! I will try and update this often or whenever I feel the need to vent! Keep on countin' down
