Happy Birthday Javier!

Hey, just want you to know that I was the first to call and wish you happy birthday, but you were sleeping... So, here is a post just for you!

My sweet little BOY!

Okay, so we are having a boy! James and I are both really excited. Now we get to play with names and start saying "him" instead of "the baby" until we choose a name. We had the best ultrasound technician, she was a doll and she showed us so much stuff with the baby. The baby moved around a ton and it was fun to watch. He kept opening his hands which the technician said was pretty rare this early. The picture on the top is pretty funny, because it seemed to us like the baby was sick of the ultrasound wand and was pushing hard against it. Aren't these great pictures?!

The little things that make you smile...

This is me in my Christmas church outfit. What do you think Javy, I am getting a belly, you have to compare it to the last two pics... We got to church today and the baby was kicking like crazy! (I think my tights we too tight around my midsection.) I had my hand on my abdomen when the baby kicked, and I decided that if I could feel it in my hand, so could James. So I told him to put his hand on my abdomen and sure enough, he felt the baby kick! I was really excited because they say that the husband usually cannot feel anything until about 24-26 weeks (I am about to be 19 weeks on Tuesday). It is fun to share this with others! And then my niece, Bailey felt the baby kick too! It was fun. I hope we have this much fun at our ultrasound appointment on Wednesday!

A little nephew...

Yeah! My brother Jason and his wife Kaisie just had their 20 week ultrasound yesterday and they found out that they are having another boy! With three girls and one boy already, my nephew William is sure to be excited about this new addition to the family! I can't wait to see what our baby's sex is! We got lucky and we are scheduled to have our ultrasound on Christmas Eve morning! Cross your fingers for us, I hope that the baby cooperates and we can see what we are having... I don't want to play around with names until we know the sex and neither does James...
I am feeling great... except for the baseball that I have in my very low abdomen... It took me awhile at first to get used to that feeling... It is not comfortable. The other night, my good friend Heather called me and I just started crying and telling her that I didn't feel good. When she asked me what was wrong, I said" Nothing is wrong, I just don't feel good..." She started laughing and said, "Oh, you are soooo pregnant!" I realized later that night, that getting used to the uncomfortable feeling in my abdomen was what made me "not feel good" (I was a little tired, too). Silly pregnancy break downs...
I felt a lot of kicking last night, it was fun. It is amazing to feel these changes, at least when they are uncomfortable ones.. : )

MOVEMENT

Yesterday morning I woke up laying flat on my back. I felt weird tightness in my abdomen and put my hand there and felt this huge hard ball shaped lump there. I kinda freaked out for a little bit thinking that maybe my body was freaking out and then I went back to sleep until the alarm clock went off. So, naturally, I didn't really think about it until later that evening. I told my girlfriend Heather about it and she grinned real big and said that it was the baby. I was kinda confused and couldn't believe her at first. Mostly because all of the pictures they show in the maternity books make the uterus lining look so thick that I didn't think I would actually feel what Heather said was probably the baby's but or head... WOW! After that conversation I got pretty excited and couldn't stop thinking about it. So after I got home from our Relief Society Christmas party, I laid on my back in bed and put a little pressure where I felt the bump earlier that morning... And...
I little bit later I felt some real baby kicks! It was so cool! I did that for quite a while until I couldn't feel anything anymore. I am sure I fell asleep last night with a big smile on my face!
This morning, I woke up to some fluttering and now, I can for sure say that I have felt my little one move! This pregnancy is just a little more real now.

Dr's visit

So yesterday James and I went to visit the Dr. and he got out the Doppler and listened to the heartbeat. At first I recognized that something was different and started to get worried, but then the Dr. said that the baby's heartbeat was good and that there were even a few kicks in there. I thought that was really cool!
I think that I felt the baby moving yesterday. I was really in a belly smashing position, so maybe that is why I could feel anything. I think the baby was telling me to get off!
Other than that, nothing too interesting.
We are busy getting ready for our Ward Christmas Party. I have spent the last several evenings at Amanda's house trying to help get things ready before hand, so that the day of the party we aren't pulling our hair out in frustration and feeling rushed.
I am so thankful for my friends that have done so much work on this party because they don't want me to be stressed out. I LOVE YOU LADIES!

Latest Belly Picture and updates

Okay, so this is the latest pic taken this morning before church. (I did have a huge dinner last night, don't know how much of this belly is from that...)
I am feeling really great. I have a ton of energy and really feel a lot better health wise than before I got pregnant. So, I am just going to kick back and enjoy this phase... In a little over a week, I will be starting my fifth month of pregnancy! It is hard to believe that I am almost halfway there.... Yikes!
Yesterday we had a long day, we had a craft show from 9-3pm north of were we live, and then we decided to drive up to Potomac Mills mall, AND THEN, we met friends for our dinner group at a restaurant call O'Charleys back in town. It was a long day, but James and I had a lot of fun together and we tried to laugh about how I had to run to the bathroom every hour because my bladder is not lasting very long anymore...
I used more public restrooms yesterday than I would like to ever use in a lifetime!

S'mores....YUMMY!

Okay, so James has this week off work and yesterday was a nice sunny and not rainy day, so he lit a fire to this huge double tree stump in our front yard that we are trying to get rid of cheaply. Well, matches are cheap! So, when I came home from work yesterday, there was a very perfect smoldering fire going. And... I had the munchies, so we made s'mores! They were so yummy that when it was time to eat dinner, I was still full from all the s'mores that I ate! It was just a little bit of heaven! How many people can just light a fire in there front yard whenever they want and sit and enjoy s'mores whenever they want? This is the third or fourth time we have had big fires in our yard, and the second time we relaxed around it eating s'mores. I love where we live!

Okay, so enough about s'mores, I know you are all jealous. So, the latest baby news is that this week I had to go into the lab and get my 16 week blood work done. And let me just say, I was a little stressed because so many people have told me that this is the big blood work visit. So, I got to the office and (the girls that work there love me and are very excited about this pregnancy for me) had to show of my tiny belly. (The Phlebotomist told me she hated me because by this time she was already huge.) So, I asked her if this was the huge blood work visit and she just looked at me kinda funny and said, "No, we did that last time. Today it is just one vial of blood." And then we both just laughed. I always get myself worked up before I give blood. hehehe. At least they like me and when I left she gave me a hug and told me to just drop by periodically so they can see me grow. How nice is that to have such a relationship with your Phlebotomist?!

What a great Weekend!

Okay, so this weekend, my brother found out that he passed the California Bar! Congratulations Bryan!
I watched Twilight. I have to say I was disappointed in some of the things they left out, some of the acting, and some of the "beautiful vampires looks"...Jasper...and Rosalie... and some other things that I won't spoil for those who have yet to watch it. But... I will probably buy it when it comes out to DVD and I will definitely go see New Moon. Hey, what can I say, I am a twilight fan.
We had some friends come visit us that we haven't hung out with for about four years... Had a TON of fun Kent and Tara!
Had my Mom's homemade pancakes for breakfast on Sunday. Oh so.......yummy.
Went to church and got loved to death in nursery by a bunch of children that were "abandoned" by Mommy and Daddy and I was enough to pass the two hours with that didn't cause too many tears. The noise level was insane though. I had to yell to be heard by Candy who was not three feet away from me.
Went to a Ward Christmas Party activity planning meeting at Amanda's house and had yummy snacks and Oh So Delicious Sparkling Apple Cider that I have been craving for a few weeks now... I seriously think that I drank a bottle by myself... well, Candy helped a little : )
Came home and reminisced with James about how we met and the things we thought about each other before and during our courtship. And our favorite dating moments...
Like the one where no one was supposed to know we were dating and we were at a party at Les's house holding hands behind a throw pillow on the couch, thinking that we were oh so secretive and that no one would figure out what we were doing. And then to find a note on the windshield of my car saying: James and Kissta 4 -Eva inside of a huge heart written by John and David.
Oh well, so much for thinking we were slick!
Oh and we started the fireplace up for the first time this year... I love having a fire in the fireplace, it warms the house up in no time!
Okay, so you get the point. I know these probably sound lame, but after quite a few months of being ill and getting shots and doing fertility stuff, it was just bliss to have a normal-ness to my life again.
Oh, I forgot to mention how I got dressed for church and caught my reflection and said, "Oh! We are taking a pregnancy picture today! And then we took it and I look exactly the same as I did last week, but when I look at myself in real life, I look much bigger... Oh well. Before you know it, I will be huge and have lots of pictures for everyone to see!

Determination

So on the way to work today, I happened to glance up at the power line that crosses over about 6 lanes of traffic and saw this squirrel exactly in the middle clutching the power line for dear life with this HUGE nut in its mouth! If that isn't determination, I don't know what is!!!

I am officially in my second trimester today! My only complaint is that I keep getting thrush. I am starting to worry that my immune system is out of whack again, and with the upcoming flu season, that terrifies me. (I am allergic to the flu shot and will end up in the hospital if I get one)

So... I am determined to be like the little squirrel and close my eyes and inch my way slowly through this pregnancy so that I can deliver a healthy baby and then hopefully I can get back to good health as well.... Thanks for keeping us in your prayers, they are much appreciated!

Okay, I know, I know, some of you are thinking that there is nothing there, but trust me, there is! And by the time we got home from church, I was so glad to get out of that skirt! No more room!

So, I think that I could have possibly felt the baby two nights ago... At 4am I woke up and felt a "muscle twitch" type feeling. It kept on for a good while, and I even changed positions. And then I just had a thought pop into my head that this could be the baby, and then I was wide awake! So, the next morning I looked in the What to Expect When you are Expecting book and it says most women feel movement between weeks 14 and 26... I will be 14 weeks on Tuesday... and then I read some more and it said that really thin women can feel movement sooner... So... who knows, but I am not deciding either way... Of course, after the initial excitement of it being the baby wore off, I realized that the next 6 months might not be so exciting if that tiny twitch woke me up...

Okay, and then last night, I had a crazy dream that I beat out Obama in the election and became the next president because the people wanted someone real representing them... There was a lot more detail to this dream, but it is pretty silly and I don't want everyone in the world to know my personal feelings about this past election... but my point is, you gotta love the crazy dreams!

That is pretty much all of the exciting stuff. I have finally gotten some more energy lately, I cleaned the whole house this weekend, (including the nasty fridge) and I am excited to not be so tired all of the time! So, now maybe my blog won't be so boring either...

Oh yeah, to answer Bethany and Austyn's question, no, I don't have any idea as to what the baby's sex is.... Someone told me that it would be a girl because of the heart rate at my last visit, but I don't have opinions either way yet... (Honestly, I think I am still in shock that I am actually pregnant...)

Baby check-up and updates

First off, Happy Birthday Jason!
Happy Birthday Jerry!
Well, today we went in for our check up at the Dr.'s office. I have gained 5 pounds, and we got to hear the baby's heart beat today! I have heard them before, but it makes a difference when you know that the sound of the beating heart is coming from somewhere inside of my body (and not my own beating heart, of course). The Dr. said that he could only hear one heart beat, which got a laugh out of me and James. I am not due to come back in for a month now, so I am assuming that we are out of the scary stage... I get to do a whole bunch of blood work right before that visit, so I guess it is a good thing that I have gotten used to giving 7 - 9 vials of blood so much lately... And then shortly after that visit, we will do the 20 week ultrasound and hopefully find out the baby's sex! I am really excited for that part. (Oh yeah, my Dr. is Dr. William Hamilton in Fredericksburg, for those of you that are in town and curious)
Let's see, well, I am out of the morning sickness phase (which seemed to be directly related to the progesterone I had to take), I am starting to have a little belly, I'll have to post a picture later today, and I am enjoying craving all of my favorite foods. Our fridge was packed for a while with all of the meals that I have been craving. It is fun, but sometimes I get tired of eating.
Last night, James teased me every time I got up to relieve my bladder. He said I was like clock work, every hour.
We have been having a lot of fun lately in our relationship. I love James so much, but it is amazing how much more my love for him has grown in these last few months. Some days, I just want to cry (happy tears) when I think about how wonderful he is and how there is no one else that could love me, and make me feel loved like he does. He has been so amazing helping pick up my slack with the house work and chores and I really have no complaints. So, thank you, my love. You are more than I ever could have wished for. I say that, because I didn't know that kind of qualities that you have even existed when I was younger and wishing about my future husband... I look forward to seeing our love grow ever more and seeing you start to have the gray hairs to match mine. Love you.

Happy Birthday to YOU!

Okay, so I have been really bad about birthday cards and phone calls the last few years, so I decided, to do a monthly happy birthday shout out, and that way, if I don't call you on your birthday, then you can't be too mad at me...
So, Happy Birthday to:

Grandma Reeve - the most fun Grandma in the world!
Jerry Price - pulls a mullet wig off nicely...
Jason - My most favorite famous brother!
Gary - My "twin brother"!
Thomas - The awesome in-law that isn't afraid to read "girlie books", I wish there were more men out there like you!
Caitlin - My chunky monkey with the cutest ringlets!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU ALL!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAMANTHA!

Samantha, Happy Birthday! I am always so excited to share a birthday with you! Have tons of fun trick-or-treating tonight, and make sure you take a picture of your costume to show me!
Love, Aunt Kista

Amazing pic of Baby Marker!

Holy Cow, (that's for Amy) we went to our appointment yesterday and they did another ultrasound. We saw the baby, (which has at least quadrupled in size in the last two weeks) and each of it's little arms and legs. I though that was exciting to see, but then the baby wiggled a little, which made me start giggling like crazy! I was in the clouds for the rest of the day! It is definitely more real now! Then the Dr. made a comment about still only seeing one baby, and James and I just started LAUGHING... We told him that we hoped so...
I just have to put a blurb in here about how much I LOVE my Dr.'s office! My appointment was at 10:20AM and we were gone in the car on down the road by 10:28AM. I have never had that good of a time at a Dr.'s office, and been there for so short of a period of time! Usually, I am on the table in the room freezing under a thin piece of paper for 30 minutes to an hour before the Dr. comes in! I am so glad I switched to this Dr.!
Okay, I am starting to get a belly, so soon I will post pics! It is crazy to see the belly, but now that I have seen this baby (which is supposed to be the size of an apricot right now) it makes the belly more fun!

Little Baby

Went to the Dr.'s office today and saw our little baby. Everything looks great, and today, I swear, I saw some little legs, but it is still too early to tell. (But I am going to believe that they were my little babies legs, because that is just exciting!) So, yeah, I go back in two weeks, which is another good thing, since the Dr. is not worried enough to have me back next week! I am really getting into the nausea stage, but I can't complain, because compared to others, it really hasn't been that bad... And, I am in my 9th week, which means that in a couple of weeks, I should be having a grand ole time... without nausea (crossing my fingers)!
I would upload the sonogram, but it looks just like the other one, but a smidge bigger. My girlfriend has convinced me to do tummy pics, and I don't have much to show yet, but it won't be much longer until I do! Until then!

Pregnancy Scare...

So... Yesterday, I had a pregnancy scare... Long story short and without gory details, I had some intense pain and bleeding and my OBGYN sent me to the E.R. It was a long day, but we got to see the baby's heart beat and everything seems to be okay. Had to put up with a mouthy Dr. with horrible bedside qualities, but I got to spend the day with James (which is always good), I saw a man that looked a lot like my Dad (which made me happy) and I got a lot of support from friends and family (thank you everyone for caring so much about us and our little one). I hope that this doesn't seem like I am not taking what happened seriously, but after the initial panic and crying (sorry Heather), I somehow pulled myself together and was able to get through it. Obviously there is a long and entertaining story, but as I don't know who actually reads this blog, I would rather share it with close friends and family...
To little baby Marker:
Little one, we love you so much and really want you to be a part of this family, please stay with us, I promise that we will be the best parents to you. We may not be able to give you lots of toys and material things, but we will give you the most loving home and family that you could ever dream of. Love, Mommy and Daddy.

How Many Babies???

Baby Marker

Well, if you can't tell from the picture, we are pregnant with one baby! I was pretty nervous before the ultrasound with thoughts of more than two. It seems everyone but myself has been having dreams of me having from 3 to 6 babies! Yeah, that is enough to make me antsy...

Anyways, the most amazing part was as the Dr. kept zooming in, all of the sudden there was a flutter where our little baby's heart was beating! It is enough to bring tears to your eyes.

Of course, now, James is extremely excited. I have been in such a daze from lack of good sleep since before the craft show, that now, if I didn't have this little picture, I would have thought it all a dream. I cannot wait until the next ultrasound to see the baby get bigger.

I am extremely happy that it is just one baby. I know that I wanted twins, but I will just take this as a sign that Heavenly Father doesn't give you more than you can handle.

I have been released from the Fertility Clinic and have my first OBGYN visit next Tuesday.

The best news that I received to was.....

NO MORE SHOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HORMONAL MUCH???

Okay, we are sitting here watching True Lies on TNT and for those of you that have not seen it, it is a very humorous movie about an undercover CIA agent, Harry(Arnold Schwarzenegger) that finds out his wife, Helen (Jamie Lee Curtis) is getting conned by some loser pretending to be an undercover CIA agent. She is feeling homely and unwanted and gets caught up in the story this guy feeds her because she is attracted to the excitement of it all... So a bunch of stuff happens and she finds out the truth right before some terrorists get them and then they find out about plans of a terrorist attack with a nuclear weapon. So, they get separated, Helen is stuck in a limo on a bridge that has been blown out. While Harry is in a helicopter trying to get her out of the limo before it flies into the ocean. So, it is pretty silly, the driver has been shot, and conveniently his foot is pushing the gas peddle still and the limo is bouncing back and forth all over the bridge... So, Arnold is hanging from the runner of the helicopter with his hand out to his wife and they are just out of reach, and then they touch and she starts to get out of the limo sunroof and into the air and then the car bumps the side of the bridge and they loose their grip. So, they are almost to the gap in the bridge and Harry and Helen lock eyes and he says "Come on Baby"...

AND I START CRYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you kidding me??? How is that sad???? It is really supposed to be funny! I was so embarrassed, and tried to hide it from James, but he knew better.

It is one thing to cry for hallmark commercials, but this was something else...

To know how it ends, you should watch it, it is a classic! Oh, there is one scene though that you might not want to watch... it is a little PG-13...

Craft Show

Baby Blanket Display
Snugga-Luv table

James and I had a Quilts by Kista booth at a Craft Show this weekend. We put lots of hours into making all kinds of stuff... There was slow traffic, but I was still able to sell a good amount of things. The main seller was my Snugga-Luvs which are basically Lovey's. (Small 15-15" satin and minky swatches that help little ones have another attachment besides Mommy. I am still trying to recover from the energy put into the Craft Show, but I am glad that it went well.

For anyone that needs a good laugh...

When you do IVF, you have to get shots of Progesterone after the fertilized embryo is transferred into your uterus, because your body is not naturally producing it. The shots are given to your "hip", but it is really the muscle/fatty part of your upper buttock.
Okay, so the other night, James gave me my shot and then exclaims, "HOLY COW, it's like a GEYSER!"
ME: "Am I bleeding really bad?"
James: "No! The medicine just shot out of your BUTT!"

I thought it was pretty dang funny, so I thought I would share. Happy Friday to those who have had a hard week. This definitely includes you Dad! (Love you!)

Gigantic Tortilla

Look at the size of that thing!!!!SOOOOOOO GOOOOOOD

We were making burritos when I decided to see how big a tortilla I could make. Needless to say after eating this one I was plenty full.
- James -

Let's Celebrate!

Heather, Me and September

Spencer, James and Joe


Two of my most wonderful girlfriends decided to take us to the Melting Pot to celebrate getting pregnant as soon as they found out. Well... less than two weeks later, we found out that now we are all pregnant! Heather is 5 months along, I am 6 weeks and September is 4 weeks along. How crazy is that?!
So we had a fun evening at the Melting Pot... If only my sense of smell wasn't so strong, it would have been a perfect night!

So, how am I doing??? Well, I have to take progesterone shots to my hip every night for a month. All I can say is, I am pretty bruised (black even), kinda sore (really sore) and in one place, I cannot feel anything, seriously, it is completely numb (not a pleasant feeling)...
Just a little longer, I can do it...
As for the being sick... Well, I don't want to jinx myself, but I feel great! I have to keep something in my stomach, or I feel ill, but even if I feel icky after eating, I just pop a lifesaver and I am fine after a few minutes. Can this be too good to be true, or is this for real??? It is still early, I know, but hopefully, the sickness does not manifest itself, I am small enough as it is, can't be losing weight...

So to make an analogy for those Twilight fans, I feel like Bella after she became a Vampire and it was a piece of cake, when the whole time before the "turning" she worried about being a crazy "newborn". I am pretty sure that only Twilight fans will understand that...

Oh yeah, one more update... So I e-mailed James's cousin who had twins from IVF and asked her if she had any hints that she was having twins. She said "Sorry! No hints AT ALL!
You have to wait for that ultra sound. It is possible for you to have more than TWINS too. Even though they only put 2 embryo’s in you, those embryo’s could have split –
Waiting is just awful. Let me know what they find!!"

...................................YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Life's memorable moments

I cannot believe I forgot to write this story out earlier...
Okay, so the day that I did my final blood test, James told me that morning that he would call me around 2pm. So, I called him at about 2:15 and the phone at the bank rang FOREVER. So I hung up and called from my cell phone (the bank has caller ID, so I hoped that he would see that it was me calling)... I rang and rang and then James picked up the phone and said, "Hey, can I call you back, it is really busy today..." I said, "Are you KIDDING me???" And then he said, "Well, is it good news?" And I said, "YEAH!", and then he proceeded to tell me he loved me and he'd call me later....
So, that pretty much took away any excitement that I had been feeling...
Regardless to say, I didn't really make any other phone calls that day because I figured that everyone new on Tuesday that the news was good and didn't think that I would have to call everyone again...
Well, that evening(after James came home with roses and Chinese food for dinner), James's mom called to see what the results were. It was a short conversation and then a couple of minutes later my Sister-in-law, Jes called and started yelling at me. It took me a minute to figure out why she was upset...
Apparently, because I hadn't called anyone that day, all of James's siblings were worried that it meant that the news was bad news and they were all afraid to call us. They ended up calling each other to find out if anyone knew and none of them did. They finally called James's mom and she called us.
Don't kill me Jes, but Bethany was the first Marker to know. She and I had e-mailed that day and so she knew...
Anyways, I thought that this humorous story had to be posted...

Baby's First Gifts

So my sweet sister-in-law wrote me a special lullaby just for our children. I asked her to write it for me and was so surprised when she sent me a rough draft of it. First in written form via e-mail, and then right before the actual week of procedures, she sent the recorded song to me. I love it! I cannot believe how perfectly worded it is.

She also sent a care package with the little lamb on the right of the picture above. The lamb is a TY and so of course it is extremely soft. I took it with us the day of the transfer and hugged it the entire way home. Thank you Kaisie!

Then just yesterday, my good friend Candy, came over to "drop something by", I immediately knew that it was going to be some baby related "something". It is the "Got Candy?" bib on the left of the picture above... I love it! We started chatting and Candy realized that she might need to get another bib at the end of the month!

I have such wonderful friends and family, Thank you so much!

The First Glimpse of our little one/ones...

Okay, so we did IVF and it has been almost a piece of cake... I think that the hardest part has been... waiting to find out the pregnancy results! Of course, there were lots of shots and Lots of hormones... I am surprised that James still loves me!

So on Tuesday August 26th we had a retrieval where the Dr. goes in and takes out all of the eggs that had grown. We had ten eggs, but not all of them were good. From those ten, five were fertilized. Three days later, we went back to have the eggs transferred back into my body. I had to be on bed rest for the remainder of that day. The pictures above are the pictures of our two best fertilized embryos. The Grade is based on a 1 - 5 grade scale with 3 being average and 5 is the best. Considering that our embryos only incubate for a three day period with our Dr.'s office, they never see 5's. So I feel pretty good about the grades that my little embryos got!

The three remaining embryos, grades 3+, 3 and 3- got put in the freezer for possible future use.

Science is so amazing!

Okay, so like I said, the hardest part for me was waiting for the phone call the first day of my pregnancy test. I have never had a positive test before and I guess I just kept thinking that it was too good to be true. My wonderful girlfriend, Heather called me and kept me on the phone until it was time to call the Dr.'s office. She was such a lifeline to me that day...

So, finally almost an hour later, they called to tell me that my results looked really good. I had been told before that there was a chance of chemical pregnancy results for the first test, so I asked her what the chances were that on Thursday (two days later) the results of the pregnancy test would be negative? She told me that usually if it is a chemical pregnancy, the numbers are a lot lower. This news pretty much helped me to stay positive and not as nervous two days later when I went to do the blood work for the second pregnancy test...

They call before 3pm on Thursday to tell me that yes we are for sure pregnant! My hormone level had almost doubled and I now have a due date! Never thought I would utter those words!

I am due on 5-19-09 and I am almost 5 weeks along right now...

Okay, for those that think that makes absolutely no sense, I am 5 weeks along based on a 10 month cycle with week one being the first day of my last period. James is having a really hard time accepting this information...

If you have any other questions about me being so far along....Google it.
