To take a break from this IH for just a moment I would like to announce spectacular news.
For the newer members we always welcome your great news. Dont feel bad to post something great on here when everyone is feeling sick. We always feel bad and we always love to sit back and actually hear someone is doing great and that there is some kind of light at the end, or the middle, of this damn tunnle we are all walking thru.

I went through a very rough spot and took a long time for that pain to ease up.
We werent trying this time, it was a surprise. I am two months pregnant. I was nearly ten weeks last time wen I had my first ultrasound and seen there was no heartbeat. So we still have a few weeks to go b4 I will feel 100% better about this. But we are 8 weeks and I ahd my first ultrasound today. :) I made my OB/GYN look at my hormone levels and they are out of this roof. She is going to verify that they are rising at a normal level but they are a very healty high of 12k something or another i think. idk it was alot of digits.
My ultrasound fantasicly. My baby measures one day bigger than what we calculated and has a wonderful heartbeat of 176 beats a minute!!!!!!!! Im so freakin happy, i cried!!!!

I havent seen a high rish obgyn yet. We were waiting to make sure this was a healthy and viable pregnancy before we made any appoinments. I havent spoken to many people about it yet. Still keeping things alittle quiet for about another two or three weeks. I say once I hit 11 weeks thats when Im going to just start blabbing to the world. lol. I take things easy. My headaches are more frequient now that Im pregnant but thankfully nothing that I cant tolerate. I make sure I get plenty of sleep, I eat right, and I dont over exhert myself.
WOOHOO!!!! This is the most excellent news! Congratulations to you both. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Keep us updated for sure!!
