Sick Baby :-(

So little A has been sick for over a week now and we've had 3 trips, yes 3 trips to the doctor. KT and I have taken turns staying home with here over the last week. I think finally she is getting better! So last Tuesday night she had a fever, and woke up Wednesday morning still having one so off to the doctor she went.....Strep throat @ 10 1/2 month-WTF. She was put on an antibiotic and kept a fever for 5 days, so Monday morning back to the doctor we went. Come to find out she also had a BAD virus (ulcers in the back of her throat) poor little girl! They said just keeping giving the antibiotic and pain reliver for fever and pain. Then yesterday (Wednesday-day 7 of all this) she broke her fever but got a RASH.......for real WTF! So today back to the doctor we went, allergic reaction to the antibiotic, got a new script and hopefully we are FINALLY on the mend! My poor baby!Trying to sleep

Summer FuN!

We made a trip to MN (my home) this summer for 2 weeks and had a BLAST. Of course Nana (my mom) loved it even more! We went to MPLS Pride, both zoos, and spent time "swimming" in the pool on the deck! I hope we can do this every summer!

Worst Blogger EVER!

Eight months.....Life with a baby is my greatest JOY! I love it. Mommy-hood is amazing and I was meant to do it! Avery is 10 1/2 months now and time has flown by. My days have changed in the last few weeks with me returning back to work "teaching". I loved spending the summer with her. Now it's busy at work all day with 5 year old's then home to get her form daycare, then dinner, play time and bed. It seems like I'm spending less time with her...I mean I am but it sucks! Here are a few pictures of the last few months.

Avery

Avery arrived on November 1st. 4 lbs 12 oz 18.5" And We're in love!

It's a Girl!

We found out it's a girl, I'm so excited!! I always wanted a girl. Things have been good. The summer is moving along quickly....my sister was here from MN for a visit and this week we have KT's sister and daughter coming for a visit. Summer school starts Monday, YUCK! Oh well it's extra money. All is good here!

I'm so BAD

I know it's been FOREVER! Things are moving along great. Once I got over the "morning" sickness things have been better. Whoever came up with the name "morning sickness" needs to rename it to 24 hour sickness....oh well, so glad to be well into my 4th month. Went to the Dr. yesterday and things look good. Dr. couldn't quite tell for sure what we are having, so we'll find out for sure in 2 weeks at our ultra sound on the 23rd.
Other than feeling like poo for the first few months I am getting more excited about getting bigger and feeling the baby move.

Looking forward to school ending next week. I am SOOOOO over this school year!

Will post pics. of the ultra sound after the appointment, and the nursery-we have been working on that too :-)

Looking forward to tomorrow

Tomorrow is our 1st u/s, and I am very excited! More on that after.....

Made it through our St. Patrick's Day party last weekend. It turned out to be a pretty nice day and I think every one had a good time. I got up on Sunday morning to clean then enjoyed the rest of the day relaxing, my favorite thing to do right now. It's like I count down the time until I can go home form work and change clothes and lay on my couch, and of course watch my DVR ;-) Hoping the extreme tiredness goes away sometime soon. Life's been good! Looking forward to a beautiful weekend!

Glad it's Friday!

I got my second beta results and I was just as excited as the first time I heard them :-) Weird! It still doesn't feel real I guess. We have our 1st u/s next Friday, I am excited for that! This weekend is our annual St. Patty's Day party at out house, I am excited but it's going to be a long day of drinking guests....oh well this is Kt's favorite holiday! I'm happy to report that my cold is pretty much gone, so that has been good. But I am so tired, I'm hoping this doesn't last the whole time. I go to bed at like 9, granted spending the day with 5 and 6 year old's does take a toll as well. Off to start the day.

Feeling Sick

I have been sick the last few days with a bad cold...not fun at all. Tomorrow I go for blood draw number two. Life has been good. Over the weekend we did go to a thrift "store" it was a school's PTA event and people from all over the area donate childrens stuff. I found a few good buys, so that was fun, and it's makes it all a little more real! Counting down the weeks until spring break. And until I can share the news at week 12 with others and extended family.

It's offical

We got back our blood results and we are pregnant! It is still slightly unbelievable, but so exciting all the same. I have been feeling ok so far, lots of nausea through out the day and I've been pretty tired. But all are welcomed signs of pregnancy. I just feel so blessed that all is working out for us, truly a blessing with all my medical problems.

Waiting

Just wondering if it was Tuesday yet? I can't wait to have the blood work done to make sure. I know it's crazy, but I just want to make sure. We had a nice weekend. Told my family and they are so excited! I was hesitant to say anything before blood work to confirm it, but we couldn't hold it in a day longer!! My mom and dad will be out to VA from Minnesota in the beginning of April for my Spring Break. It will be great.

I feel like all TTC is a bunch of waiting. Waiting for a DR. Apt, the TWW, the blood work, waiting to show.....waiting for baby :-) Hope I can keep myself busy with all this waiting. And the waiting continues! At least I know how long I have to wait now-9 months!

BFP!! :-)

OMG, I really can't believe it....I tested yesterday morning and got "pregnant" Called the Dr. and I have a blood test Tuesday afternoon to confirm, still nervous until then. It will truly be a blessing if it took only one try :-) We are so blessed!!

A week has passed....WOW

I can't believe it has been a week since my last post. I'm just trying to keep my mind else where. Doing good so far. Can't wait to test this weekend, but then will wait to call doctor for a "real" test :-) No big plans this weekend. Starting the count down until SB 2010 :-) A teachers 2nd favorite time of year!- Of course SUMMER is the 1st Favorite.

Has it been 2 weeks yet???

Trying not to obsess over when we will know is hard. Every Day KT asks how I feel? My response...."fine" with a headache like every other day when I get home from school :-) Haven't felt any different the last few days besides the first day I was cramping and felt bloated. The wait continues.

And the wait begins

TWW.....IUI#1 this morning, now the waiting begins! Ug, I hope it goes by FAST! I guess it has been nice to be off today. I was supposed to be in school today due to a make up day because of snow, but decided to just go home after the Dr. Apt! What a good choice, a lazy day on the couch!

Good Day

What a great day. Started out by getting up at 7:45 and decided since I'm up I might as well work out. Came home and got ready for the ultrasound to see if I was ovulating. Good news-2 follies 20mm and 16mm, we're a go for IUI#1 on Monday morning. Then we had our annual Valentine's Day dinner with friends, it was soooo good. Kudos to Jen and Rhonda.
