6 weeks

I am six weeks now and im so thankful, (plus I read in my what to expect book that an ivf pregnancy isn't safe until 6 weeks or something. Yeah I regretted reading that, but here we are. One hurdle down.)
My body is definitely changing,  and my tummy popped out a little this week. ( My friend Mandy Henry told me i would show early with a second pregnancy, she was not kidding! Im definitely not big or anything you can just see a difference especially since I lost a little from not being able to eat much)
Pregnancy does funny things to you and your body and its just funny to notice them as they happen. I get really cold all the time, my sweet tooth is gone, im freaking out because every time I was my hair im shedding WAY more then ever. I knew that happened after you have a baby but not before.  Im very jumpy in the car all of the sudden, tv makes me cry often (and then I laugh at myself ) quizzyness comes and goes all day and night, and apparently no hamburgers for me! at least right now. We went to dinner with Joel and Lindsay Friday night to a burger place in Castle Rock and as soon as they set it down I wanted to puke, it was not happening! ! Im definitely more thirsty, and when I have to pee, I HAVE to pee! I know things are progressing, because im always noticing changes. (Although last week was so calm I felt the need to take a test just to reassure myself,  and even though I knew, I was still nervous while I was waiting. But a positive never gets old! I left it there to look at for days. It was the digital kind that said pregnant, I did not throw it away until the screen went blank).
Im so thankful every minute of everyday. Im looking forward to moving on to OBX, im not positive but I think by 8 weeks ill be there, ill find out on Tuesday....

Update

I had a blood test this morning, and levels look great.
Estrogen is 500 they want it above 300, progesterone is 40 they want it above 20.
They are leaving everything alone until ultrasound.
I feel good! Can't wait for next Tuesday! !

5 weeks

Im now 5 weeks, I feel great today! While I am thankful for that, it makes me worry. I felt more nauseous before I found out then after. The symptoms are good reassurance.
But I've noticed my body is getting more used to the injections, maybe that has something to do with it.
I've been a little hungrier the last few days,  although nothing but orange juice sounds good still.  
I have an other blood test monday, ill be glad when they call and say everything is still great and ill definitely feel good after the ultrasound next week.

Update

Most of the time I feel pretty good, just a little sore still and sometimes I feel like I have the flu! I get FREEZING cold, chills, nausea and muscle aches. But it all just comes and goes and I am not complaining!  Im so thankful for all of it!! And I was actually pretty hungry today.
Sometimes I don't think I realize how scared I am. I truly believe everything will be great but every cramp makes me so nervous, even though I know its normal at this stage. I am very conscious of every move and everything I feel. Im not aloud to pick up anything over ten pounds so every time I pick something up I worry, im limited to four five hour days and I sit as often as possible but I worry about that too everyday. My body is tired even though it was used to working nine hours, I do not feel like I've cut hours in half. I think just because I've slowed down so much and the injection pain takes alot out of me. But WHATEVER it takes, im good!  Im just so thankful for everyday and i pray for an other!! I think im almost five weeks and lots of development happens that week , its pretty exciting! 

Lookin good!

My numbers are great! They almost doubled, were at 780 now. Yay!  I feel like I can except it now and I am so happy!
I feel pretty good, although food just doesn't sound good! (Except orange juice ) but I have to force myself to eat because of the blood sugar issues.
Next appointment is blood test Monday and our ultrasound is the 10th I can't wait!!

Best Day!

Yesterday was the best day! We were supposed to be at the doctors office between 7-830, I was too excited to sleep! So, I woke Jason up at 645 and we left.
The nurse told me they wanted my HCG level to be at or above 50. So we I told Jason I hope its at 100 and we came home to get ready for the day ( which was either going to be the best ever, or the worst !) I was a nervous wreck! I turned the ring up as loud as it would go, and I kept checking the phone about every 15 minutes as if I'd managed to miss something. Once we got in the car to leave for my inlaws,  my phone rang. It was them and my heart dropped!  I said please tell me good news she said oh I have fabulous news! My HCG was 409!!! And my hormone levels are perfect!!! I think I thanked her a million times and we agreed to leave all meds the same, including injections. I can suck it up, its a little different when I know im pregnant and its working!  I don't care how bad they hurt!!
Yyyyyaaaayyy! Thank gd!
I love that GD aligned yesterday so perfectly, and we got to see both sides of our families and tell them in person! We had brunch with Jasons family for Easter and celebrated my moms birthday for dinner!! It was the best!
I wish grandpa was here, I know he would be so excited!  But like I told my grandma I know he was with me through the process and helped me stay calm!!
Now I will just continue to be thankful for everyday and pray for an other. I hope the next 36 weeks go fast, smooth and healthy!!
I go again tomorrow to make sure my numbers double, and again next Monday and then they will schedule an ultrasound! ! It seems very surreal still! But im so happy and thankful!
I'm so grateful for all the support and prayers from so many people in our lives. We are very lucky to have such amazing families and the best friends in the world!!!

Blah

I feel like poop! I have baseballs in my butt cheeks and im an emotional mess! I keep blamming everything on the damn injections but who knows and im so scared to get my blood test!
