A few posts ago I announced we had been trying to get pregnant. I was starting round two of fertility meds and was optimistic, but scared. It had already been nine months of trying and I was so tired of seeing test after test come up negative.
I had been tracking my ovulation (assuming the medicine was going to work) with ovulation tests. I FINALLY got a positive and was SO happy. However, I was convinced in October that I had ovulated, so I was afraid it was somehow a false positive.
I had to wait until day 21 to get my blood work done. Then I had to wait a few days for the results. That was when I first found out I had officially ovulated and one step closer to getting a positive.
Then the mind games began.
I started feeling pregnant. Making myself believe I was craving a ton of stuff and was tired all the time. I still had to wait a few more days until I could begin testing.
Six tests later (all gradually getting darker), I am happy to announce that there is a bun in the oven! Baby Doughty is due August 26th and is already loved to death.
Here is a picture of our little one a few weeks ago @ 8 weeks, 1 day.
It's just a lil jellybean for now! |
This week, Baby Doughty is the size of a grape!
We are so overjoyed at this news and are grateful to God that his timing is perfect. We found out right before our 2 year anniversary and a week before Christmas. We got to tell our family during our Christmas visit, which was awesome.
So here are some prayer requests for right now. Please pray that...
- Baby continues to grow healthy and strong (our next peek is Feb 13th @ 12 weeks)
- I am able to function and do well in school this semester as I struggle with morning sickness
- Jon desensitizes himself to blood and needles or we will have a problem in 7 months

ReplyDeleteDid not know you were having a hard time. Good luck on your Pregnancy. I am due May after 11mths of trying.
ReplyDeleteYay! I am so excited for you, and looking forward to hearing more about pregnancy adventures! I am 6 weeks away from popping and I'm still slightly nervous about how Andrew is going to react to the birthing process.
ReplyDeleteHooray!! That is so awesome. Congratulations :D
