Doctor's Appointment

So today was the day to get all of my questions answered. I felt pretty good walking out of there. I did go to the lab right away and have a ton of blood work done too. My doc didn't feel that it was completely necessary...but I think that she knew that it would make me feel better.

I did ask her a few things about the first miscarriage. I have always wondered if anything looked out of the norm when I had my ultrasound done at MFM at 7 weeks. She checked my chart and everything looked great then. The heartbeat was 128 and I was measuring right on target. Who knows what happened between that day and my 11 week visit which is the day I had my D&C.

She really thinks that it was a fluke that I have had these miscarriages. She really feels that all my blood tests will come back just fine. Obviously I got pregnant with Kaden when all odds were against him...and he was one big and healthy boy. She kept telling me that I will have another Kaden. I sure hope that she is right. Now I will just have to be patient. That is the hard part...

Update

Just wanted to let you all know that I heard from my doctor's nurse today and I set up an appointment for Monday to talk about things. I am going to do some research and come up with a list of questions for my doc. I have to get my beta taken on Monday as well. Hopefully my levels will be less than 5 by then. I have tomorrow off...and I can't wait to have a day to relax. Kaden and I don't have anything planned...but I am sure that we will find something fun to do. Hope you all have a great day! :o)

Not pregnant

I got the results of my blood work and my levels dropped to 7. I was super upset at first...but as of this moment I am feeling okay. I kind of knew that this was the news I was going to get today...but to actually have it confirmed was hard to hear. I just don't know where to go from here. My doc wasn't in today...so she is supposed to call me tomorrow. I have some questions for her. I feel like there must be something else wrong with my body besides Factor V Lieden and MTHFR. I just don't understand how I got pregnant with Kaden while on birth control and taking only a prenatal vitamin for half of the pregnancy. I never saw a doctor until I was between 16 and 20 weeks. I would only see a nurse. Once I switched doctors I was put on the Lovenox and Foltx. I am now taking the prenatal, a baby aspirin, and Foltx. I am doing everything in my power trying to get pregnant and have a healthy baby...but it isn't working out. I have no problem getting pregnant...staying pregnant is the problem. Hopefully tomorrow I will have some answers.

Pregnant or Not???

So I haven't blogged in quite awhile. I wasn't sure if I wanted to blog about me being pregnant or not. I decided not to...but now I am thinking "what is the big deal." When I went through my miscarriage in December everyone that knew what was going on was so supportive.

So I found out on May 16th that we were expecting again. I was super excited...and very scared at the same time. Wednesday night I started bleeding. I panicked. How could this be happening to me again? What is wrong with my body? Thursday morning I got up and got ready for work. I am almost done with training...only two days to go. That is the only reason why I went into the office. I was only able to work for 2 hours when I decided that I couldn't be there anymore. I was a mess. I called my doc and they wanted me to come in for an ultrasound. Nothing was seen on the ultrasound. I was then sent to have lab work done to see where my hormone levels are. Wouldn't you know that they are only at 18?!?! I go again tomorrow to have blood drawn. Hopefully the number will double! I am trying to stay positive...but it isn't always easy. Wish me luck!

Future Businessman

This evening my niece called Kaden. Before she called he was playing on the computer. Once he got the phone call he never quit playing on the computer. He looked like such a businessman sitting there talking on a cell phone with our laptop in his lap. Here are some pictures of him...

Isn't he so cute?!?! Jeremy and I were just cracking up! Tomorrow is Friday!!! I am so excited for that. I have been in training this week. Needless to say the week has gone by super slow. Have a great Friday! :o)

COSI

We woke up early Friday morning and headed to COSI. I went there about 15 years ago and had so much fun! It is just a really neat hands-on place. We went to a show where we learned about explosions and got to see a few of them. We also saw the Rat Basketball. Kaden thought that this was pretty cool. I saw this when I came here when I was little. I couldn't believe that they still had it. There was also a "Kidspace" area that had a bunch of role play areas such as a helicopter, an eye doctor area and a regular doctor office. He loved this area! Here are the pics from our day...

Here is Kaden at the "doctor's"

Here he is at the eye doctor learning all about the eye

Isn't this crazy that rats can really play basketball?!?!

Here is Kaden watching the rats

We had such a great time! We will definitely go back someday. There were a ton of school kids there so Kaden was kind of shy when he wanted to do something and all the other kids were surrounding it. Hopefully as he gets older he will get over that. Hope everyone had a great weekend! :o)

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all of you out there!

I had a great day...but it would have been even better if I found out I was pregnant. I took a test this morning, and it came back negative. I am not giving up hope yet. I really don't know when I should be starting my period since I have been irregular since having my D & C in December. Hopefully I will get a positive test soon. I am just so afraid that I won't be pregnant by my due date which is June 26. We'll just have to wait and see what happens.

My mom, stepdad, brother, sister-in-law and nieces came over. We had a cookout. It was a lot of fun! Sorry...no pics. I got a bouquet of flowers from my two favorite boys. We also took a road trip to COSI in Columbus on Friday. It was so much fun! I will post about that later. Once we got home from COSI we all watched Bedtime Stories. That was such a cute movie! It was so nice getting to spend all day together as a family. That is the best thing I could ask for. Hope all you mothers had a great day! You all deserve it!
