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

Happy Valentine's Day

Well today I celebrate my first Valentine's day as a Mommy! I am super excited and loving it so far.  My funny little valentine is in his Einstein bouncer (pooping I think-TMI I know!) and I am patiently waiting for him to get tired enough to take a nap so I can get a few more loads of laundry done..so glamours I know!

Later today, in about 4 hours I will be in the stirrups seeing if all is well with what I hope to be baby number two.  I am excited and that's about it....I am more at peace than I have been in a long time with this whole situation.  It's hard when you worry constantly about whether or not you'll be able to have kids, then you worry  if you'll be able to have more.  Well, regardless of the outcome of this appointment I have shocked Science not once, but twice and I am proud and give all the glory to God for these two events. 

I have been so pent up with anticipation and worry that I have eaten half the house over the past two weeks, that can finally end today as I find out once and for all if all is well.  I an really hoping to hear a heart beat and see that little flicker today on the screen.  However, I barely know what I'm looking at when I look upon the fuzzy screen!  At any rate we will soon find out what's going on in my uterus and I am thrilled to move onto the next step.


My husband is the best flippin' valentine anyone could ever ask for! He is so thoughtful; he had flowers delivered with the sweetest card and got me Godiva chocolates and something special from Brighton that I have not opened yet! I feel so blessed.  Don't go thinking I'm callous I got him a video game that he wasn't expecting and gave it to him a weeks ago, so he could play it on the weekend. I got him Red Dead Redemption and he is loving it!

On the menu for tonight is Maggiano's take out which I cannot wait for because their rigatoni D is to die for!

I'll update later.

Goodbye Mr. Chips!

I simply cannot have chips in the house...I cannot be trusted. I am now on sodium overload and not sure this is good for a pregnant woman.  Speaking of which this is what brought me to the eating binge in the first place.  I am so freaked out about the sonogram and whether or not the baby will be healthy and complete with a beating heart I am just beside myself
