6 weeks! 12-29-2010

Ya so we made it to six weeks! next week on Friday we get to have our ultra sound! I cant wait!AHHHH. So this last week I have been very nauseous and actually threw up a little bit two days ago. lol So gross but I kinda am glad to be able to have these things because we have our little baby and it makes it so worth it! YAY. so excited....

So my birthday is a month away from today and we have planned to tell everyone about our little secret. hehehe. Last year for my birthday all I wanted was to go to dinner with my mom, dad and friends. So that's what I asked for this year too. We are going to go to olive garden in Layton at 6 on Jan 29,2011. I invited flora/Derk, chelle/Matt, josh Richards,bry and tasha, and my parents. Now to come up with a clever way to surprise my mom and dad. Oh it just kills to wait but we want to get far enough along so we have less of a chance of mc.

um ya thats a positive pregnancy test-12-21-2010

So the Friday(12/17/2010) after we found out that I was pregnant, I woke up to flora texting me saying she wanted to hang out. We decided it would be fun for her to come down to slc. So Chris, me and Flo went and just walked around a bunch of places. We took a walk through target and a beauty supply( I wanted to find a low ammonia dye for my moms hair I had to do on Sunday). Then I suggested we go walk around baby's r us cuz I had not been there in years. We all goofed off looked at strollers, cribs and rocking chairs. It was so fun, and Flo didn't suspect a thing. lol at that point. After all that walking we were starving so we took Flo to Hires big H. Then went back to Chris dad's house and just hung out and talked. Okay here is the funny part! I totally had to go pee so while I was in the bathroom Chris--not really thinking--- brought the camera up stairs to show Flo the camera and some fun pics that he had taken. I walked up the stairs as flora was starting to go through the pictures and I looked at Chris with my eyes huge. Then I just laughed because I knew she was going to see a picture we didn't mean to share. hahaha Chris tried to save it by telling her that we have 400 pics and she didn't have to look at all of them. It did the opposite she started going backwards looking at the pics. I was busting up by this point and just then she came across the picture---two positive pregnancy tests! I was just laughing. We are not planing on telling anyone at least until we are ten weeks and that's around my birthday but so far a few people know and we only found out a week ago! lol

Freedom

School is finally over with this semester. I think I managed pretty good grades all in all. I took my last final today and wont find out what all my final grades are until 12-22-2010 when all the teachers are required to have the grades in by.
I have handed out about ten applications to salons but only have had one interview( that I didn't get) Now that school is out I'm going to go out and hand a resume to every salon I come by and hopefully I can get a job soon. If I don't have a job by the time this next semester starts, Jan 10, 2011, then I am just going to go to school. Chris interviewed for his old job with the state last week and we were supposed to get a call this week but we have not so it will probably be sometime next week. If he doesn't get the position it will be okay because he can hang out with me all the time! Well that is all I have to say for now.

Our little Christmas miracle

----Just to warn you I am saving all the baby post until we get farther along. When these are posted there will be alot of them. About a months worth. So on Monday 12-13-2010 I woke up at six in the morning and had to pee. Problem was that this was day five before my next cycle so I wanted to take a pregnancy test. Being so early and wanting to use the first morning pee I took the test. It almost immediately gave me one line-- Negative. Bla it was to early and I figured nope not this time. So I threw it in the trash and went back to bed. I didn't wake up again until noon. I again had to pee so I went into the bathroom and figured I might as well look again. So I took the test out of the trash and to my amazement there was another faint line. I wanted to scream with excitement but wanted to double check before I got too excited. Chris and I went to target and got a digital test. Unfortunately I had to go to school to study for my math final, so retesting was going to have to happen in a few hours. Later that day when I got home no one else was at home. I couldn't wait so I took the test and set it down and when I went back to check it said PREGNANT!!!!!!! Oh my gosh it is real! We will have a little addition to our family around Aug 25, 2011. That is according to my calculations.

I contacted the miracle man(Dr.Hammoud) and let them know that I had two positive tests. He told me to go get blood work done and if it was positive to have it drawn again 48 hours later to make sure that I am progressing normally. I went in that Tuesday 12-14-2010 and had my first test drawn. On Wednesday they contacted me and confirmed that it was positive and looking good. My hcg numbers were 129 and after another 48 hours it was at the least supposed to double. I was so anxious to find out if it had doubled like it should have. Lucky for me Chris mom checked out my labs and called us later that night. She said to Chris "Guess who's pregnant?" Chris just laughed and told her that we already knew. I asked her if it had doubled from the first test and she said it had!!! Yay!!My number was 419! The next step is to go in for a viability ultrasound at about six weeks to make sure everything is good then he will send me back to my normal ob/gyn. Today is 12-16-2010 and I am four weeks and one day along!

OUr baby journey has been a long hard one filled with many trials, but we now have our beautiful baby in the making. Chris and I are so excited. Okay I'm a little more excited than he is(I think he is a little more nervous than I am, lol). I am not going to post this until around ten weeks but I wanted to get this down while it was fresh in my mind. Now to just wait for the six week ultrasound. We should be able to see the heart beet. So at the six week apt we will also find out if our little one is healthy and strong! The anticipation is going to kill me!

12-17-2010

I called the doctor to set up the viability ultra sound and they asked that I make an appointment after the 2nd of January. Chris wanted me to set it up for a Friday just in case he got the job with the state so he could go to the apt too. So my viability ultrasound is scheduled for Friday 01-07-2011 at 12:45. I cant wait to see the little peanut! At that apt ill be 7 weeks and 2 days along,according to my calculations.

Chloe- she loves rolling in the snow. So funny!

This semester is over in T- minus 6 DAYS! I have to do my history final tomorrow then Tuesday is my math 1050 final and Wednesday is my computer 2010 final! I can not wait. I am going to spend so much time relaxing and reading a book in a hot bubble bath. Ah to not worry about school.... It feels like a dream.
As for life, it is grand. No baby yet but the clomid is working and I no longer have to get blood work every other week or go into the doctor. We are so excited to add to our family and we hope that it is one day soon!
Chris has been busy studying hard. He might be going back to work for the state. We will find out next week if they want to hire him back right now. If not its all good, he will just keep studying and wait until the next spot opens up with the state. We are so excited for Christmas and my family's Christmas pageant. This time of year is just so lifting and happy. I love Christmas time.

Anniversary

So its official we have now been married for two whole years! I cant believe how fast time flies when you are having fun. We had a great anniversary. We went up to park city and stayed at the Escala Lodge at the Canyons. It was so dead up there because it was Halloween and a Sunday night. We didnt see one other person at that hotel. We decided that we wanted this little trip to just be totally relaxing so instead of driving around in park city, we walked down to one of the other buildings and had dinner at a place called The Cabin. They had some really good steaks.. mmmmm. After dinner we walked back up to our room, took a long hot bath (complete with "stress relief" bath salts) and hoped in bed to watch a movie. I dont think I have been that relaxed in forever! I could not have asked for a better man in my life. I try to figure out how I lucked out in finding him. Im so greatful for all the love and suport that Chris gives me. He is always there for me.
We often laugh about how when we first started dating we didnt want anything serious and we even warned one another that we get bored with people after a few months. Five years later and we still have not gotten bored with one another, not even close....... MUAH!

New Hope

So the doctors apt was great! He is so on it. It was our very first office visit with Dr. Hammoud and he wasted no time. We got an ultrasound done and it showed that I do have PCOS. dang it. But now we at least know for sure the problem. He didn't feel that the round of 100 mg clomid I just did worked so he gave me a higher dose and we dont have to wait until the next cycle to try it! I got to start the 150 mg clomid with a steroid that same day.It was killing me with my regular ob/gyn because he doesnt specialize in infertility so he was only trying a new round of meds every cycle and that was every TWO months.This doc at the U of U knows his stuff and we are very impressed by him. We were lucky to find him. We go back in on the 29th to get another ultrasound to see if the higher dose of clomid worked, if not he is going to change the medication and see if that a works. Before we left the office he said it usually takes 3 or 4 cycles to get prego after they get my body to do its thing. He also said that we could be prego in as little as three weeks if this med works. I just have a new feeling of hope and its great because I was getting a little bit blue about the trouble we have had.
On a different note last night(10/ 22/10) I went out on a girls night. It was so fun. We all dressed up as witch's and went to olive garden for dinner then we went to Gardener Village for the witch fest and it was like walking through a halloween town. There were witch's and halloween decorations everywhere it was so neat. After that got over we then went to club allure. It was fun to dance around with Chelle and Trish, but a little weird to not have chris with me. I have not been out dancing in forever. I for sure can not move the same as I did in high school. lol. I think the best thing that came out of the girls night was my adorable hubby. I am utterly in love with him. I came home and hopped into bed with chris and when he put his arms around me to nuggle I was just so totally happy. I missed him and Love him soooooo much! It was a perfect end to my fun girls night.
I am so blessed. I am just so freaking happy with my life right now. I somehow lucked out and found the most perfect guy for me. Its so funny we can be so different but at the same time the same. We have the perfect balance between the both of us. I hope he knows just how much he means to me and how much I appreciate him dealing with me. :)

Trials

Oh man life has been crazy! I have so much homework I could just scream. This semester im taking english 2010, math 1050, modern dance, CIS 2010 and history 1700. It is just insane how many papers you have to write and homework crap you have to do. This semester is almost over it ends in the beginning of dec so I only have a little over a month left.( thats what I tell myself)
For those who don't know it was Chris's birthday on the 13 th and he turned the big 29! lol it was fun we went out to sushi at tsunami with chris's dad and after chris and I went to the haunted forest in american fork. It was a blast, the weather was good and not too cold and since it was a wednesday there were not a lot of people there. Of course we got stuck walking behind some overly dramatic mid twentys girl with her boyfriend. She was so annoying! It was still fun though. Then on friday we celebrated with chris's mom by going to the Jackass movie and then to dinner at ruby river. We had a lot of fun hanging out with her and it was a great bonding time for us. I would like to do it again soon.
As for our living situation. Living at Chris's dads is not bad at all. We come and go as we please and it is fun when we get to hang out together for dinners and tv shows. Teresa (Jims girlfriend) is gone to china until the end of october and I relized when she left how fun she is to have around. Its a little too quite without her video games upstairs.
For anyone that wants to know Chris and I have been having problems getting prego and I have been working with my Ob/gyn to try and solve the problem. We have done two rounds of clomid and so far they have not worked. We know I have hoshimotos but that is under control with meds and my ob thinks I have PCOS but my mother in law looked at my labs and is not completely sure thats the problem. She just went to a conference last week and there was a guys from the u of u that has some techniques that have shown to work and since he is a reproductive endocronologist he can make sure I have no other underlying problem that is making me infertile. I will see him on the 20th and we hope he can work some magic!

Life is grand!

Chris and I have been busy bees. We just moved into Chris dads house just over a week ago and we are loving being with family.It is so much fun to have dinners together and watch movies. Family is what life is about. I really need to work on spending more time with my two beautiful little sisters. They brighten my world when they come and hang out with me. I hope that they both know how much i love them and could not live without their wonderful little spirits.

Life is so precious and to help promote life and support friends chris and I went and did a suicide prevention walk this last saturday with out good friends the Cranes. It was a beautiful warm day and the perfect setting to remember all the loved ones that were taken away from this earth to soon. I hope that people who have lost their loved ones and friends can find comfort in knowing they will meet again. Life is so fragile and we should never take a moment for granted.

Fun with Friends

This last Saturday Chris and I went and did a walk for suicide prevention with our good friend the Cranes. It was a beautiful warm day and the perfect setting to remember the loved ones that were taken away from this earth to soon. Little Korbyn( my friends little girl) is three years old and just ran the whole thing while the adults walked with her. She had so much energy and love to share it made the experience so special. I hope that people that have lost a loved one to suicide can find comfort in the fact that one day they will see them again.



Chris and I have been busy bee's. We just moved into Chris's dads house just over a week ago now and love being with family. It is so much fun to have dinners together and watch movies.

babies?

So the doctor called back today about my labs last week. They were checking my hormones because of some problems i have been having. She told me that my levels indicate that I could have pcos. They are not going to put me on any medications to help me get pregnant now but maybe later on. They want me to come back in a few weeks to test my levels again. bla. I also got on synthroid about a week ago because my thyroid was pretty low as well. Here is to hoping that the synthroid will solve the probems and we wont have to wait forever to have a baby grace our lives.
Chris and I are so excited for the Hunt family reunion in a few weeks. It will be a hot weekend but we cant wait to play with the cousins. Love you all.

Life

Oh man life is fun. Last night I got to go have a girls night and one of my awesomel friend mirandas house. It was the first time I had left chris alone at home and I stayed the night up in ogden. It was a blast we watched old movies like legend and spice world.
As for babies I found out this week that i have a hypothyroid and am now on medicine that should fix that problem and make it easier to get prego. Hoping that it will help. I have a few more test to determine the cause but other then that we just wait and see.
Chris has just been trying to find us a house so we can hopfully qualify in august and already have the house of our dreams to put an offer on when we can.
