HOOK EM' HORNS!!

The First Appointment

Well.....I went to the doctor today. The doctors like to determine how far you are by your LMP (last menstrual period) and not include the length of cycles. So, My doctor was expecting me to be 8 weeks along. I knew that I was not that far along, after my most recent miscarriage my cycles went from the textbook 28 days to practically 40+ days.

The appointment was pretty simple, she asked if I had any questions then did an ultrasound. The ultrasound showed me at 6 weeks one day and not 8 weeks. The doctor then of course was not upset by it but was also not optimistic, going by my history. She told us that she wanted to see us again in 2 weeks exactly and she hopes to see the progression is the same on the ultrasound. Once she sees that she said she would feel more comfortable knowing that the baby is progressing good.

So with out further ado......here is the first picture of Baby Bryan.....

Cautiously anxious.......

The both of us are VERY excited - however we are very cautious. I have miscarried in the past and one just recently in May. We are so concerned about having to face an ordeal like that. I am putting this all in God's hands and I know he will take care of us!

I seem to have an very calm sense about this pregnancy. The other two I knew there was something wrong. Along with knowing that God was letting us have our turn- I was started on mega doses of folic acid!! We will see if it really does the trick!!


I called yesterday and made an appointment with a new doctor that will deliever at the hospital we wanted to deliver at. We do not go in to see her until the 20th!! WOW - that almost 2 weeks away - most want to see me right away due to my history. Its ok.......this forces us to remain calm and just pray about it.

A Belated Birthday Present for the Two of Us!!

I had been saying for the past week that I thought I was pregnant. I had felt nauseous and just not right when I eat or didn't eat on time. I had just KNOWN it......on the other hand Justin, and I, both didn't want to get too excited in case it was just my mind playing tricks! Its amazing how that can happen when you start trying for a baby!

Last night we went to visit Latisha at the hospital after he had her baby. Justin and I had been discussing the possibility of my being pregnant and he told me that he just had a feeling I was not pregnant. Well....this morning I woke up, early (I was very anxious) and took a test. As soon as that second line popped up I was so excited. I was shaky, crying and wanted to explode with JOY! I figured after the remark from last night I thought I should have the right to wake Justin up to tell him. I got into bed and told him "Look, I told you I was!!" He was excited as well, barely awake but excited!!

From this point on - here is the journey of making baby Bryan!!
