Oh Happy Day!

This Valentine's day needs to go on record as being the best to date!  I was showered with gifts, too many really...but my husband was making up for anniversaries and birthdays...it's been a wild ride since last July when we had our baby.  Still it was way too much and I am way too spoiled, but I am not in any way complaining!

My hubby got me some beautiful jewelery charm beads for my bracelet, a necklace, earrings, flowers, and chocolate!  We got takeout Maggianos and oh my Heaven was it good!   I am always pleased with their food though, we have our favorites and the Rigatoni D never disappoints!

So now the update that everyone is waiting for...everyone would be all of my ZERO readers!  The sonogram showed one perfect heartbeat hammering away at 136 bpm (beats per minute) we are relieved and pleased!  My RE came into the room and shared with me, after two pregnancies that I am in fact the highest FSH and lowest AMH combination that he has ever had success with in terms of pregnancy with their own eggs via IVF..  Now, please realize that my doctor is no newbie this man has been in the field of reproduction for twenty-five years! He said I am incredibly blessed and God must want me to have babies because statistically this should not be happening.  He was beyond words and we have defied Science not once, but twice.  I will not feel completely out of the woods until our second little miracle is here, but hearing the heartbeat and seeing that sweet little flicker was a very good sign!  I will not be announcing to the family until after the first trimester, so just my sister and her best friend who both prayed for me know...and approximately 375 followers on Twitter.

 I feel so blessed, there are no words so I will leave this entry with a picture instead because as they say...pictures are worth a thousand words!

Sorry about the quality of the picture, it's a picture of a picture because that is the best I could do on such short notice. While I do have a scanner...I chose the path of least resistance!

Thank you Lord

I'm gonna wash that gray right outta my hair....

After the first trimester.  I have so much gray it is pretty ridiculous.  Perhaps, this is why women are encouraged to have children in their twenties..not just because of egg quality, but also because you have a better chance of being a beautiful pregnant woman if you're younger.  I, on the other hand, will look like an old hag soon because I refuse to die my hair during the first trimester...not worth the risk.

I'm officially at the one week countdown until first ultrasound.  I am excited and scared and definitely need to stop reading blogs.  I come upon blogs all the time where they found either no heartbeat or a fetal pole and an empty yolk sac.  I am scared that could happen to me.

Oh please little embryo/s be healthy and hanging on and growing!  Mommy loves you so much even if she does have stubborn grays.
