Our New Addition!

Matt and I have been trying for children for about a year and a half now. I was told in January I had Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome. Meaning one of the hormones in my body was producing twice as much as what it was suppose to. This caused me not to ovulate or have a regular period, and so we were not able to conceive. But we were blessed to have a great Doctor that put me on some medication to help regulate those hormones, and don't ya know it, we are now pregnant! At first we really didn't know how far along I was because this medication had a side effect of making me feel sick. So since the end of January I've not felt well!

Around the end of April beginning of May I decided there were other things that just felt different and not normal so I went off the medicine to determine if it was the pills or something else... it was something else. So I took 2 at home tests, both came back (+), then I went to the clinic and they confirmed.

My first official Doctors appointment we told the nurse our story, she thought if we were as far along as she thought (18weeks) we would be able to hear the babies heart beat. So she pulled out the little monitor and went looking for it. It took her a moment and looking lower than she thought but she found it and it was amazing! It was the most incredible thing, and crazy all at the same time. Then the Doctor came in and met us, we told him the story and he said he thought we were about 5-6 weeks along! Quite the gap 5-6 weeks to 18weeks?! Hmmm, he hadn't talked to the nurse yet! So then he began to examine me, and measured my uterus. He quickly changed his mind and told us about 10 weeks along. After he left so I could change into my regular clothes, he must have talked to the nurse in the hall because he came back into the room saying 12 weeks along, but wasn't for sure until our ultrasound.

Six days later we went for our first ultra sound...Incredible!

The lady doing our ultrasound found the baby right away. The little guy was very active, and all over the place. She immediately said, you're about 13 weeks along, and the baby looks really good. She took about 20 minutes looking things over and took some pictures for us. It was amazing to look and see this 6 centimeter baby growing within me, and knowing after such a long wait I will finally get to be a Mother. What a beautiful calling, and position to hold in this life.

We met with the Doctor after the ultrasound, and he said again the baby is really healthy, developing well, and should be Due around November 22nd! He also said it will be about another 2 months before we find out if its a boy or a girl!

Matt too was and is really excited. To the point where when the lady handed him the ultrasound pictures, he had a death grip on them, and I had to pry them out of his hands just to get a peek! He is being very protective, and overly helpful! He is such a wonderful husband, and an amazing father. And I am so blessed to be married and sealed to someone who takes such great care of me and our little family!

We are excited and a little nervous about this wonderful new change coming to our lives! We are so grateful for all the wonderful family and friends we have and all their love and support! Thank you and we will be keeping you updated on all that is happening here!
