36 weeks

Well I am now 36 weeks along and sooo excited! I cannot wait to meet this little one. It is still so surreal to me where all of this started. I haven't just waited 9 months for this baby I have waited 3 years and 9 months. God has taken me on quite the journey, from thinking that it may never be possible for me to concieve to having possibility after possibility taken from me until I gave up. Then when I had completly given up all hope that I would ever be a mother my doctor presented Bryan and I with a drug combonation we had not tried. I didn't think it would work. I was angry and I had given up but I had promised that I would try anything we could so I did.

When Bryan called me and told me he had spoken with the doctor and I had ovulated, he may as well have told me I was pregnant already. I was so extatic. It was as if every dream I had had taken away from me was restored. It was all possible again. My family I had dreampt about over and over would become real. I couldn't believe it. We got into the doctor the next month every other day and watched for my eggs and as soon as my body was ready we opted to do an insemenation. We were completly prepared to do it as many times as necessary but then a couple of weeks later Bryan picked me up from work, took me to do a blood test and then that evening he picked me up from work with a onesie we had made. How many men get to tell their wives they are pregnant. It was quite the expirence! I love that he was able to do that. I love that it worked and I love that here we are 9 months later ready to have a baby! I am sooo blessed~

I am excited to become a mother and hold my precious little baby for the first time. Thank you to all who have prayed for me and supported me through this increadible journey. I hope that you all will continue to pray and support me through my next journey of motherhood!

Just keep swimming my friends!

34 weeks

Well I am now 34 1/2 weeks along and getting sooo ready to see this baby! I wonder so much if it's a boy or a girl. If he/she will look more like me or Bryan. I am just so curious to meet this baby inside of me!

So far everything has been going pretty well with the pregnancy. However at my last appoitment the doctor mentioned that he had noticed a pattern of me measuring bigger than I am supposed to be. It started off pretty minor but last time it was up to 3 cm bigger. So basically I am measuring full term even though I am still only 34 weeks. So they decided that at my next appoitment they would measure me again and if it still looks like I am measuring big they will do another ultra sound to see for sure what is going on. If this baby is as big as they think then they will want to talk to me about inducing a little early to prevent a difficult delivery. I suppose that would be the lesser of two evils. I have never known anyone who was induced who didn't have a difficult delivery but I also don't want to risk having to have a c-section because I can't deliver a large baby. So I go in on the 16th for my next appoitment and we will know a lot more then.
It should be interesting either way!

Otherwise I am sore and tired and ready for this baby! I am doing my best to just keep swimming!
