Snow day
Not really a snow day for me... I work from home. But Mat's here, so that's nice.

13 weeks and out of the first trimester :)
Some bump pics from 13 weeks
Again, I'm bigger than I should be (according to books) as I've already gained almost 10 lbs (and most of it in my belly and womb). But my Dr said this is fine with the hormones I was on and with my starting out rather small.
So excited to be out of the first trimester! God is awesome! :)
Mookie wants to play when we get home from church... not take pictures!
good pic of "the bump"
Good pic of Mookie's tongue in action

The children God wants us to have
I truly feel that these babies are the children God wants us to have.
Sure, it would have been easier if we were fertile and able to have our own. Sure, it would have been nice if one of our infertility treatments had worked and we already had live children (one chemical pregnancy and one IVF worked and we were blessed with twins who were miscarried). Sure it'd be nice if everything worked out the way we wanted it to... but what about what God wants? Doesn't His will trump our desires every time?
Already in this pregnancy (12w5d) I feel a closeness to Him who made us all, including the miracle wiggling away in my womb. I have doubts, I'm human- I'm scared to death for our baby! But I know that God will handle it. I pray that He lets Wiggler be carried to term, but I also know that His will will be done, no matter what happens.
The trials of infertility have brought us to this beautiful place. This God given place with a healthy pregnancy with a child God wants us to have. Embryo adoption is a miracle!
We are so blessed! :)

*sniff* Amy saved the Starwhale! *sniff sniff bawl*
So the crazy hormones are at it again. This time I was watching Doctor Who "The Beast Below" episode... and when Amy saved the Starwhale I just started bawling. He came to Earth because he heard children crying! How sad that he was enslaved and how happy Amy freed him!
Anyway, I was a wreck... happy and sad tears. I called Mat in for a hug and he asked what was wrong. Between sniffles and sobs I managed to get out that Amy saved the Starwhale... and he found that hilarious. Not that she saved it, but that I was bawling because she saved it. So he was laughing and I started to laugh -while bawling- and I continued to try to explain myself. His back got very wet.
I'm pregnant.
Anyway, this weekend my friend gave me all her cloth diapers! A bunch of other baby stuff, too. I'm anxious to try out the diapers though to see how easy they are for me to use :)

Unmedicated Wednesday...
So yesterday I felt like crap pretty much all day. I was hoping that it was the Estrace and PIL getting out of my system, not MS rebooting.
Nope, turns out I just forgot to take my B6. In my head I was thinking "no meds, woot!" and so I just didn't take anything that morning- including B6.
Luckily I take my prentals at night. When I take those, I take my B6 and unisom (and up until Tuesday, Estrace) so I remembered last night.
Lesson learned. I took the B6 as soon as I was out of bed this morning.

Stop the presses! Stop the meds! Woot woot!
Just got a call from Katie at NEDC. She received my results from lab tests done Friday and she said I can completely stop the PIL and Estrace!
Woot Woot! *happy dance!*
my levels were...
Estradiol- 1400 (still going up even with the 1/2 dose)
Progesterone-54.01 (went down from 90+ but still higher than average for first trimester)
Both those are currently at 2nd trimester levels.
My pin-cushin-of-a-butt can heal! Woot woot! Praise God :)
I am just a tad nervous... I'm not out of my first trimester yet (11 days left!) but I'm so excited to be done with those shots! Plus, we've seen/heard Wigglers HB 3 times already and it looked great every time and his growth was right on track :)
And tonight is date night... we're totally going to celebrate!

11 week pics
Yesterday I was 11 weeks. After church we took these pics.
Mookie wanted in on the action.
Bad pic of me, but a good pic of the bump!
one last shot :)
And on our walk on Saturday I took some pretty pictures of the ice on trees. Horrible weather for driving in certainly makes for some of God's most beautiful scenery :)
