Happy Birthday Daddy!

I will never forget these precious words written across the bottom of our u/s last year, December 17 2008. One year ago today we were at the doctor finding out the sex of the baby, and it was Tim's birthday! So we were super excited. We weren't 100% for sure if we were going to find out, but I thought...what a great birthday present, right? It's a girl! We were beaming! The u/s tech typed on the bottom Happy Birthday Daddy. It seemed official...we were parents to this little creature, growing inside of my ever so growing belly. We told everyone we couldn't tell the sex, we wanted to surprise everyone on Christmas (no one thought I could hold such a secret!). So we bought chocolate it's a girl candy cigars wrapped in pink foil. We made the big announcement wrapping them ever so carefully for the family to open together. Those were special moments I will cherish and hold close to my heart forever.

This year, things are not as we hoped or dreamed. But I am going to make the best of it, since today is Tim's birthday. The man who keeps me running, holds my hand and drys my tears. I love you babe! Happy Birthday!

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

2nd Beta!

Well, my 2nd beta on Wednesday was 308! Super excited! Who knows...there might just be two lucky charms in there. Everyone seems to think we are having twins...even my very fabulous IVF nurse. Only time will tell. One...two...whatever happens, I am just so excited to be pregnant. We have our first u/s on March 22nd where we will see how many we have and hear the little heart beat/s. Yay!! As of right now I have been feeling wonderful! I am having a bit of nausea here and there, but not too bad. I didn't get sick one time when I was pregnant with Zoe, so we will see. For now, just the normal early pregnancy symptoms and I LOVE IT! I can hardly wait to meet this little bean in 35-36 weeks from now! :-) So the count down begins...17 more days until our first u/s. Unlike my pregnancy test...I can't cheat and head to the office early for this one. What is a girl to do...ha!

Dear Uterus

Dear Uterus, In less then two weeks our second pregnancy begins. Please keep our little embryo's safe and nestled tightly in your womb. I promise to provide you with proper nutrients, vitamins and water. Please stay relaxed and happy! A happy uterus makes for a happy mother. :-) I would greatly appreciate you behaving for at least 37 weeks. Dear uterus, I would like you to recite this mantra over and over..."I am like velcro! I am like velcro!" We can do this! Please be gentle with our little peanuts...this means the world to us. Thanks Uterus! Love, Your body!
