34 weeks

The beginning of week 34 started well and calm. Mike had to do some very important work related stuff on Monday so we prayed that babies would stay in. They did, Tuesday was a bit off as I was feeling a bit nauseous and Mike had a snow day that so it was nice to have him there, this week I just feel more funny. But Mike kept thanking me for keeping the babies in as he was really doing well on catching up and getting ready for them more at work. I had my appointment with Dr. Becker on Thursday, I was able to get the stitches removed from the biopsy I got for my PUPPS. I asked a few questions, and the babies were doing great with strong heart rates. I was tired and itchy like normal but feeling good that we were getting close to 35 weeks another great milestone to get to. But on Saturday we had a scare that morning we had Bob came over to help Mike fix the water damage we have in our downstairs bathroom. The appraiser had said it would help us in our appraisal if we fixed that area, Bob was also able to fix the door that was very horribly made in our laundry room since it was literally tearing off the wall. But I was feeling very funny that day, I had had no sleep that night before usually baby A lets me sleep on my right side more comfortably then baby B likes so I usually always sleep on my right side. Well baby A was no ok with that Friday night and I could not get comfortable, or sleep longer than maybe an hour. So I was exhausted and just not feeling right, but I didn't think I was having contractions just bowel movement cramping or something. But as the day went on the pain was getting worse, I started getting sharp painful pains in my cervix area, it didn't feel like a contraction to me but a very sharp shooting pain that would go away pretty quickly. I called Dr. Becker to see what she thought, she said to drink a lot of water and lay down and see if it gets any better. The pains would get better when laying down but when I got up it was an intense sharp pain right away. Texting Dr. Becker back and forth that these pains were not getting better the decision was made to go to the hospital. So I freak out, I don't want these babies yet I have all these mini goals in my head that I want to hit before they come and I was getting scared. The part I fear the most is how quick everything went when I went into the hospital with Kayla. All of the sudden I had 5 people in the room giving me shots in each arm moving onto a roller bed and trying their best to quickly explain what is going to happen very soon. It was very scary and so unknown and I really don't want that again. So going into the hospital unexpected is hard for me, but Mike and I were ready getting all needed bags packed for the just in case

12 weeks

Ultrasound technician apt ultrasound #4, takes measurement of the baby’s parts and well as a blood draw for down syndrome and other possibly illnesses. Baby is again very active when we first start the ultrasound, then it finds a comfy spot. We say baby is a Fye because it had found a very comfy spot to sleep and we were trying to wake it up. So the doctor would poke at the belly or have me cough, it wouldn’t move it was like “leave me alone.” But then (so far my favorite moment,) when we did wake him or her up and the baby.. only reaching just about 2 inches long stretched, we got to see the legs stretch out the arms stretch out. I just thought wow look at that miracle only 12 weeks old and has moving arms, and legs and a spine, working organs. How can you not believe in our God when you see something like that just amazing.
Because our baby has now made it to 12 weeks old, we tell the family that they can now share the news. They made it and all of them are so excited to share this exciting news.

11 weeks

First ob apt, back with Dr. Becker, go over basic prenatal health plans and tests. Then we got to hear the heartbeat, how amazing is that 160 beats per minute just melts your heart. Ultrasound #3 baby is moving, oh my goodness how cool. We have a very active baby it was just all over the place. WOW!!

So exciting!

First RE apt as new parents to be, first ultrasound I am very nervous. What if it’s not really there? What if all of this isn’t really true? What if I haven’t been taking care of myself enough? But everything is perfect, perfect position heart beat is counted at 115 beats per minutes. Doctors say everything looks like it’s growing perfectly, determine due date to be on August 30, 2010. What an amazing day, how awesome is technology; we were able to see our growing baby at only 6 weeks old.

Last RE apt

Last RE apt, second ultrasound 8 weeks baby is doing great and still very healthy, 1.63cm long with 167 beats per minute. I have graduated from the reproductive endocrinologist and will now return to my regular Obgyn. So happy!

Grandma

Because Grandma Molen had helped us so much with our fertility process and prayers we went over and told her she was going to be a great grandma today. Very excited! The hardest part for her is that we asked her to keep it secret from the rest of the family. I think she can do it, we'll see.

Christmas News

Mike and I decided to wait till Christmas to tell our families the exciting news. First the Fye family, I woke up very nervous and had my first feeling of morning sickness. Grabbed a box of oyster crackers and we were on our way. Mike and I put baby Arizona clothing in a box for Bob to open after everyone had opened presents. Bob opened the present and said, “I hope this means what I think it means.” Everyone specially Michelle jump and celebrate this very happy occasion. Next my family the Moot’s, Jeremy is in Kentucky with Liz so I send a present with him to open on his own. For my family we got Dad, baby shirts that said “Grandpa Rocks,” and “Who needs Santa, I have grandparents.” Mom we got a desk block thing that has blocks with numbers and said, “Weeks until I become a Grandma” we set it at 36 weeks. Then for Jeremy and Adam we got them frames that said “I love my uncle” then inside I put in “Congratulations you’re going to be an Uncle, to be filled with pictures in August 2010.” Then all my family except Jeremy who is on skype and forgot his gift, opened all the presents at once. When I finally announce “We’re Pregnant!” everyone jumps up and down, tears and major excitement. This will be the first grandchild on my side of the family. Then we tell everyone they can’t tell anyone until 12 weeks. Owww.

Hyperstimulation

So glad my appointments today, Mike takes of picture of my huge belly from hyper-stimulating. I can’t even tie my own shoes, think this is what I have to look forward too 9 months from now. RE Apt. for progesterone blood draw at 9:30am,
hyper-stimulation got worse ovary has reached the size of a grapefruit, I have to go in for minor treatment and get the fluid forming my huge stomach removed. Put on IV and given shots to numb the area, Dr. Minjarez removes 2 liters of fluid from my stomach process took almost an hour to finish. During this time I find out I would make a history book in that I am the first woman to hyper-stimulate without IVF treatment.

Ouch

Wake up again at 3:30am with horrible stomach pain; know I have an appointment the next day for another blood draw. I can wait it out. Thankfully I had gotten this week off from the childcare.

Best day ever!!!!!!!!!!!

BIG DAY!!! RE Apt. for progesterone blood draw to determine pregnancy, but also find out I am in such pain because I hyperstimulated, meaning my right ovary which was holding 8 to 9 follicles kept the follicles growing. Ovary was the size of an orange, told to go on bed rest for the rest of the week. So bummed no shopping and it’s almost Christmas.
Mike and I wait anxiously for the blood results can’t stand it, have to get up and down can’t sit still. 3:34pm get the phone call.
WE’RE PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mike and I jump up and down; I start to cry this is the best day EVER! Can’t believe it’s really true, had to have Mike pinch me. 
