This 4-5-08 We became wed as Husband and wife, things where great. The next May We started getting ideas That something more was happening in our life and we went and got a Dollar store AHT Omg yes a cheap test and oddly enough at 5pm that day I took it and there it was a vary vary faint line. lol.. My heart was racing.. I called up My OB and set up a date to have a blood test and well haha We got the news that indeed we are going to be a family after all. Thus starts our long road...





\

Our First U/S We got to heart the heart and see the baby, before they really call it a "baby" its was amazing to hear the heart each visit. I mean its like wow there are two hearts in me.. More to love!! from the start I had always had that deep feeling it would be a girl, so did My mother and mother in-law but My Husband and dad wanted a boy. I don't know what the heavens have in store for us but I am sure we will find out soon..

Wow time is going by so slowly and I am still waiting to find out what we will be having. My Doc couldn't and didn't do the U/S so its off to the hospital on July 30th, isn't that early at only 18 weeks.. haha well we shall see.

We went in for our "Tell Me what it is" Ultrasound and low and behold Like I didn't already know, We are having a girl. Sadly it was a 2d not a 3d like i was told it was going to be. My Husband says the three lines means its a boy but the lady said that shows it could be a girl.. 70% whats up with that.. oh well more to come.

8-27-08
Well bad news for the Doc, He didn't like the outcome of the Last trip to get the ultrasounds, so the good news is We got to go back and see Our little one again and this time was alot better, We where past 20 weeks, We where at 22 weeks so things would be alot more clear and sure enough it was, We got to see her playing with her feet and watch her move all over the place, Yup I am feeling more movements as well. The Tech is 100% sure she is a girl... she was balls to the wall on showing off to say hi My name is Audrey.... We got quite a few good photos this time and even some 3D. sadly the 3D are the only ones that scanned good and are able to make out so i will post those for You to see...

Today was my visit to the Oh so cold hands of My Doctor, and things are looking great, her heart is strong and I am feeling great. I go back in Oct 10th and from then on I go in each two weeks, "yay for me" not! I have to do the suger test, not looking forward to that but the baby is worth it all, I hope it goes smoothly. Yay! GO Audrey. 9lbs gained from last appointment!

10-10-08
Great My suger rush ended with a crash.. I hate feeling so sick... After drinking that nasty fruit punch i could have laid out the Nurse who pulled My Blood.I hope this is not bad news...

10-17-08
Great just what i needed.. Carb up and go drink more GO-GO Crash juice... On top of that i know it wouldnt go so well when i couldnt hold it down... sadly my suger was at 180 and thats high but the rest came back a little high but not too high so i dont have to worrie too much but they still gunna act as if it is GD and make me do the diet. Blah I hate Doctors at times. I just want her to be healthy is all so thats a good thing that she is so far so good.

11-21-08
Well this is My last US for the pregnancy and everything looks great, she is head down and not going no where "YAY" he heart is vary strong and good and she dose not weight over what we want her to be to avoid a C-section. So this is good news, so unless she gains alot more she will do fine. and I am taking it easy cus she is pushing down pretty good. I am sooo happy and sooo scared at the same time.

congrats on your lil girl. i know how hard it is to lose a lil one but finally we're getting so close to having our little angels. you are so much closer than me i hope everything goes well.
