I'm pregnant!!

So apparently there has been a lot of confusion over if I'm actually pregnant or not. Hopefully this cleared it up for you if you had any questions. I am 4 1/2 weeks along, due at the end of October. If you are wondering why I am announcing this so early, please feel free to read previous posts (because if you're wondering, you obviously don't know what's going on :) ) Our doctor's appointment went great on Monday and she had me start right away on progesterone. I'm feeling great--no morning sickness yet. We are very excited about this pregnancy...we are praying really hard that I will carry it full term. At the end of each day, you can imagine our excitement when we realize we've made it one more day without miscarrying! I'm trying to relax a lot, so naturally the dishes have piled up, but I'm hoping to get all of my knitting projects done! Anyway, back to baby...I have to go in for an ultrasound at 6 weeks and then every week after that. Oh and we already have names picked out, but I am still looking for a middle name for a girl. Any suggestions?
I will be updating the blog regularly no matter what happens, just so you know...

6th time's a charm!

Well, I'm pregnant again! I don't know about you, but I'm pretty excited!
I guess it's normal in our society to wait until you are 12 weeks to announce that you're pregnant to avoid the awkwardness of telling everyone that you miscarried...but...when you have had as many as I have, I think you would agree that the more people that know about it early on means that many more prayers will be said on your baby's behalf.
We are going to the Utah Fertility Center tomorrow early in the morning to see what they can do for us. Thanks to all who have been praying for us! We really appreciate it. I have a good feeling about this one...but from my past experiences I can't let myself get too excited. It takes a lot of faith to try doing this again. Call me crazy, but this is what I was made for, right? Wish us luck! We hope to have a happy and healthy baby the week of Halloween!

Here we go again...

Ok, I'll just cut right to it. The report from the doctor said, "Everything looked great. Continue with infertility treatments." I actually laughed when I was on the phone with the nurse and then got a little frustrated when I told her there were no infertility treatments! She was surprised that there wasn't anything being done because that's what the doctor said. So I had to explain everything to her and tell her that my doctor (the same doctor who said to continue with the treatments) had said that this HSG was the first step in finding out what's wrong. I wish they would write stuff down at this place. It would make things a lot easier, I think. So what she wanted to do is have me come in and get on something that would help me get pregnant...which I then had to tell her that I have no problems getting pregnant so I didn't want to do that. Then she told me that I can just get pregnant and come in immediately and they will give me a progesterone supplement. Yay!! Finally!! I really think we should have been able to try this first rather than make me pay nearly $300 for an awkward X-ray of my uterus that came back completely normal...but hey, I'm not a doctor. Anyway, that is what we are going to do! Wish us luck! Oh, and if you want to donate to our baby fund, feel free to. Ha! All these tests are expensive!! A lot of people say having a baby is expensive, but most of those are completely normal pregnancies...I'm not even pregnant yet and we have had to pay a lot. If I wasn't so high risk I would seriously contemplating having a home birth, but I know my doctor would never let me have one. Oh well. Hopefully another update comes very soon saying I'm pregnant! And a big thanks to everyone who is praying for us! Thank you so much!!!
