Ok- I am 1/2 way through this class I am in right now in Grad school. I officially finished week four of this eight week coarse two minutes ago. I am actually doing pretty well considering all that is going on in my life. I feel in a way, that my life is running away with itself:) There is a lot going on here lately. On top of this crazy class, new job, and pregnancy, my little sis is mad about me not being able to clear my schedule for all the wedding shiz coming up. I'm sorry, but had I planned a little better, I would have realized that I needed to stay at my hell hole old job. This would have allowed me to accrue more time off to utilize during your wedding time! Never mind the fact that there isn't even any time off now for the BABY when it gets here. Oh, I know why I didn't plan better.... that's right- I was doing fertility treatments and couldn't plan this pregnancy around the rest of everybody's schedules! Ok- whew, I sound like one crazy hormonal biatc...

Ok- yesterday we made it to the nine week mark. We have an at home doppler so that if something happens- we can check the heartrate of the baby. Well, we weren't supposed to be able to pick up for another week at least, but yesterday there it was! Pounding away at 180bpm. It definitely brought a tear to my eye. This little bean is growing fast too, and I am starting to tell it's in there (jeans are getting a little snug to button:) Yesterday, somebody commented on my no longer flat tummy. But that's ok with me- grow little one grow! I can't wait to go back to the Dr on the 25th. I think he will be quite impressed with us:) As far as the rest of life is concerned- the new job is going okay. School is about to kill me. Online courses are very demanding and sometimes it is really hard to fit it all in. Especially since the only symptom I have been having is exhaustion. I mean dreaming of bed in the mid morning and afternoon hours. I sleep way too much. But if I don't ...

127 beats per minute- go little heart go! That little bean has done a lot of catching up this last week. Now we are measuring two days ahead. Grow little one! It is now officially ok to tell  everyone ! So everyone- Our little one is due April 20! I can't believe it. I was so terrified that the U/S would not turn out well, but there it was, with that little heart thumping away. I got pics and a video of him/her. Now the entire family has watched it. I can't wait to go back and hear that heartbeat again. Just the fact that we heard it yesterday decreases our risk of miscarrying again by almost 60%. The Dr. said everything is perfect this time and now I can quit going to the Dr every few days and wait for three weeks before I go back again. That is gonna seem like a long three weeks. But by then we will be almost done with the first trimester. I can't believe that this is happening:) I wish I could post that heartbeat on here for the world to hear!!!! It is the best sound I h...
