A little of this...a little of that

Have you ever felt too impatient for all of this nonsense! I am ready to be pregnant...like, yesterday. I ask myself, what would it be like to get pregnant...without all of the injections, invasive u/s, blood draws and worries? Can you imagine? What gets me through it all is who I have met along the way on this journey. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, a light were hope penetrates through my broken heart. That light would be friendship, support and kindness from my friends and family. I am so immensely thankful for the people in my life I have met on this journey. A wonderful blogger friend of mine, Courtney so kindly and graciously gave me 3 vials of follistim! THREE VIALS...and even met me half way between Michigan and Ohio yesterday to give them to me. I had a wonderful time eating lunch and talking about our babies. It's so nice to get to freely and openly talk about our children, and not feel concerned about what the person on the other end of the conversation may bring to the table. Thank you Courtney....I had a wonderful time!

Random thought of the day.... I have been working on my Master's in Nursing for Adult Nurse Practitioner. Last year I actually didn't take any classes, butI figured it would be good to start back up again. So I am all signed up for fall classes. The nice thing is I only have to go to campus a couple times the whole semester since I don't have clinical hours to complete for these classes. Hopefully we will have a smooth uncomplicated pregnancy! I am most certainly feeling nervous about taking classes with the fear that something will happen while I am pregnant...but I am shedding a bit of hope onto the scene. Hopefully my new found hope isn't me being naive! A true pessimist can get those concepts a bit confused! ;-)

My injections seem to be moving along just fine. Today will be day 10 of my injections. I have an appointment at 8:15 tomorrow to see the doctor. Dr. Gloom who is back from vacation, so hopefully he is not completely irritated that the other docs went a head with the injections. I think it will be fine.

The Dave Matthews concert is coming up here soon! We actually got pregnant the day of the DMB concert last year...so hopefully Dave will bring us good luck again this year!

    Go Dave! My best friend and I went to the DMB concert at Blossom once when we were in college(or maybe shortly after?--he was still playing $5 Tuesdays at Trax when I was at school in C-Ville!). Anyway, that's such a great venue to see him play and I TRULY hope that it brings you a ton of luck!!!

    Oh girl I know the feeling. We should have our babies HERE not trying to get pregnant again. We should be changing poopy diapers, talking about breastfeeding, bottles, pacifiers. It just sucks.

    I am so increidbly glad that I got to meet you. You are such an amazing person and we will have to get together again VERY soon.

    *hugs*

    I love that you're going to the same concert again. I'd take that as a good sign.

    I'm sooo impatient too. I was an impatient person before losing Ella, but now it's worse. I think we're being reasonable.

    That's so cool you're studying to become a NP. Then, you'll be making the big bucks and you can host the lost baby mama's meet up at your house. :)

    Let us know what the doctor says.

    I'm thinking of you!

My Beta

So...my level today was 108!!! The nurse said that was a perfect, healthy number...not too high, not too low. Chances are good we have one little charm in there. Which is PERFECT. We won't know for sure until our u/s...but I have been thinking it's one...and a boy. I feel really connected to a little boy, and awhile ago, Zoe came to me in a dream and said we were going to get pregnant with one baby, a little boy, and things were going to be fine. :-) Sweet little baby of mine...comforting her momma even in spirit. It's strange to be pregnant right now...It doesn't feel real quite yet. It does, but it doesn't. I feel really secure about this pregnancy...almost at peace. I feel deep in my heart we are going to bring home a living baby. It's will be strange to be a mother of 2, one in spirit and one here on Earth. I love Zoelle so deeply, and miss her with each breath I take. I wish she was here to share in the joy of this new life. At the same time, the new life ...

Testing, testing,...1...2...3

So I couldn't resist!!! I tried! Yesterday morning I woke up at 4:30 with the urge! The urge to hopefully break our BFN streak and prove to be pregnant. Well, into the bathroom I went, gingerly tip-toeing across the hardwood, attempting to avoid waking up Tim. I slowing opened the home pregnancy test package, praying that what I have been expecting was true. There I was, starring at the test...waiting for the line to arrive (Where else to go during the wee hours of the morning...I was trying not to wake up Tim, or the pups downstairs!). Then it appeared, like a magic trick right before my very own eyes! The faintest of faint pink line. It was so faint, I thought for sure it wasn't real. I bursted back into the bedroom "Tim...Tim...are yo awake?" In reply "Kate, it's 4:30 in the morning, what the heck are you doing up?" "I just took a pregnancy test, there are TWO LINES!" Tim's first reply was "why are you testing already and why at 4:...

Our Rainbow!!!!!

Amazing...simply amazing. I am soaking up every moment. I am so thankful for our little girl. So...introducing River Zoelle Mirth 8 pounds, 11 ounces and 22 inches long!!! Labor was long, hard yet amazingly wonderful. 12 hours of labor and just over 3 hours of pushing (these are the things the docs don't tell you can happen!!!) But we did it!!! Our rainbow is finally here safely in our arms.
