Double one

Roses are red, violets are blue.

We knew we are pregnant, but guess what?

There are 2 !!

Twice the blessings
Twice the fun
Two little miracles
Instead of one!

We prayed for one, but blessed with two.

To say we are shocked!!

I saw the 2 sacs, and 2 heartbeats on ultrasound today. All this after seeing my ob earlier in the day, who said, all looks great, I'll see you at week 12.   I wrote him an email when I left the ultrasound, and said, I think their might be a change of plans.

I guess the plan is to go back in 2 weeks for another ultrasound.

Mechanics of +

Well meaning people ask if you have infertility how did you get pregnant, IVF, IUI, etc.


None of the above.  We've used a combo recommended by a NaPro doctor. Tweaks happen.


People ask did it take 9 months to get pregnant, after your last loss?


My husband and I waited the recommended time after our last birth(loss) + emotional time. We were in no hurry to conceive right away.. We didn't avoid, but didn't use medication to trigger ovulation. We feel it is very rough on your body, to be pregnant ( for any length of time) and then try to conceive immediately. If I had a child and was nursing, my body would naturally block fertility. We feel that it's your body's time to relax, refresh, build back up essential nutrients, which can get depleted during pregnancy.


Our doctors have never said you need to wait # of months/weeks after a loss to try again. They have always said, it's honestly when you are emotionally ready to try again..


Having been pregnant a fair share of the last 3 years. We were ready for a break. It was nice to be able to crack open a beer, drink a glass of wine, enjoy watersports when on vacation, go down the waterslide, etc.  Knowing that it takes a couple of months for my body to regulate and work properly; I took my cocktail mixture ( femara, prometrium, mucus enhancers ) starting in July. Had some bad timing, vacation with no privacy, and fumbles with getting refills. I honestly had no inkling that October would be the month.


We are eager to meet our new family member in Summer 2016

Thank you all ( followers, lurkers, friends )

I am still in the disbelief phase. Also a lot of bloodwork phase, so maybe disbelief  from all the pokes. 

So do you believe that your child to be gains the soul of person recently deceased? 

2 weeks ago, I had a funny feeling, and sure enough, as my history of funny feelings has gone. I was first to know that a dear priest friend of ours passed away. Literally started calling people about him, and people telling me no, he hadn't passed, only to find our several hours later I was correct. 

I am feeling okay. The only symptoms I'm having  thus far, sensitive to smells- especially  food, some zits, and tender bb's.

I'm starting to get up 1x a night for the bathroom already. 

I'm actually down a couple of lbs, since last week, but that's more cuz fit bit and are keeping up the steps. 

I'm still waiting on my progesterone and hcg numbers to come back. 

Thank you for your continued prayers
