My DH and I have been through a lot in the past 8 months. We have been TTC since the night we got married. We didn't know something was wrong until November (right around Thanksgiving). DH was very strong when we found out the information and I think I was a wreck. And I only say that because the doctor wasn't going to help us until we learned Creighton. We learned Creighton fully in late January/beginning of February. We were so busy in February and March with staging the condo and preparing to move that we were truly not TTC. I know I have mentioned this before but we feel that God felt we were ready for this amazing miracle.
I know TTC has been hard for a lot of my friends and it was not easy for my DH and I. I do feel even though I didn't before that God does provide. He gives you a miracle when you least expect it if it is through adoption or blessing you with a pregnancy.
The DH and I have to be strong right now and give this all to God. God blessed us with this baby. We have to pray and trust for a healthy pregnancy and birth of our little miracle in November.

Baby E
Baby E is a little bean. Baby E has a great heart rate of 118. :) We go back to the doctor in 4 weeks. I'll be 10 weeks by then.
Progesterone shots hurt. I have a knot on my butt that hurts and has not gone away.

Sono - what?!? Sonogram. :)
Today I went for my second blood test. It doesn't hurt as much as the shots hurt. Thank God for that. We should get the results tomorrow at the doctor's appointment. So excited for the first sonogram. The DH said he will be excited for the other sonograms when the baby isn't so small. I think it is going to be wonderful - no matter how big or small it is. :)
God is amazing. :)

Fever
Have a small fever today. Don't have a lot of strength today. Nervous about our baby.
I know we have a lot going on. Just hope it doesn't affect the baby.

Started WK 5 and Thankful for My Husband
Started week 5 today. Doing alright except that I didn't sleep last night. Today was the 3rd shot. Chris did a better job today with shot and he got me to laugh. So it didn't hurt today. We also realized that Chris forgot one step on Friday and that's why I cried.
I hope everyone is doing great.
You're in my prayers.

Finishing WK 4 and Starting WK 5
I am still tired but not as light-headed this weekend. Praise God for that. I was able to participate in all of SNAP's fundraisers. SNAP was able to help a family purchase a communication device for one of our students. Praise God for that too.
Today, I got to spend time with Zoey. She is an adorable puppy (this week, she will turn 4 months old). She makes me want to nap and relax. Looking forward to having her at the house for good instead of these short days. Chris was busy packing everything. The doctor said I couldn't do a lot so Chris has stepped up to the plate to help.
Today is the last day of week 4 and we start week 5 tomorrow. I'm getting excited because we are closer to my second blood test and first sono. We're looking forward to seeing how my levels have increased since the first blood test on March 15.
Praying for everyone who is trying right now to have a baby. It is not always easy but with the help of God, anything is POSSIBLE.
