And the symptoms kick in....

I have to say first and foremost Im so happy to finally have real symptoms and not phantom symptoms. For 10 months I questioned myself ever 2 week wait if it was a symptom or not. Update on the spotting: It finally has stopped. Im so happy about that. I never thought I would get implantation spotting but I did. I thought it was pretty rare well I guess Im in that 20%. I can relax alittle bit I guess.

I still wake up in the mornings and wonder if Im still pregnant or not. Its so weird. I still have a few cheap pregnancy test that I have used just to reassure myself that everything is ok. Cant wait til June 22nd!!! I went to get pedicures and eat lunch with my best friend today and she told me you will never stop worrying even after you have them. Oh boy Im in store for a ride.... I loved all the tips and advice she has for me. Im like a open book and want to learn so much!!!

John and I decided this past week after us finding out we are pregnant that we are going to try and put the house back on the market and sell it. I talked to our realtor and she said this is the best time to sell and your house is too cute. So please for the love of goodness give me the patient, strength, and the want to keep this house is tip top shape every single day. We figured it would be easier to sell this house when its just us then wait the 2 years we had inital talked about have a almost 2 year old and trying for #2. So as of yesterday we knocked down our fence so we could put up a new one that will look so much better and appeal to buyers!!

Wish us luck!!

Thanks for reading this long post!! Hope everyone is doing wonderful!

Telling our parents caught on Video!!

Friday we told John's dad and step mom and it was just what we expected. We told them that I was out shopping and found some goofy gifts for them. It was actually a coffee mug that had different ways to say grandpa and a onesie that said "Got Grandma on speed dial". Here is the video:

On Sunday we told my family by taking a family picture at my house and John said on 3 say cheese for one picture and on the second picture he said on three say Crissy's Pregnant!! My mom you will see in the video was so shocked she just walked away and started crying. They are so so so happy for us! Here is that video:

After we told my family my mom asked what the due date was and it is actually on the birthday of my grandfather who passed away in 2003. He was like a father to me and I miss him dearly. What better way to celebrate his life with a baby that is born around his birthday! Makes me so happy!!!!

We sent John's mom and stepdad a package on Thursday. John told his mom he was sending her some cd's and a few goofy gifts for them!!! They got the package Saturday and are so excited! They called us and talked to us on speaker phone. We wanted a video of them too but didnt want to ruin the surprise for either one of them. They live in Montana!

Last Beta Numbers!!!

My last beta numbers were 486!!!! I cant believe it!! John and I are going to be parents!!! Our first U/S is June 22nd!!

-MissyCrissy :)

Beta's are in!!!!!!

Went this morning at 10am to get my blood drawn at the RE's office to check the beta levels. I swear that office is way to busy. She hardly had any time to talk to me and address my concerns about me spotting still. She at first said it could be good or bad. I told it was brown and she said thats good its old blood.

So I had to wait til after 2 pm to get the call about the beta and they didnt call til 3. Talking about one nervous lady.... Well it was 181!!!!!! She stated that Im way pregnant and to come back on Friday!!! I talked to the actual nurse and she said as long it stays brown and doesnt turn red with severe cramping Im in the clear!

Im still in total shock and getting that number really helped me realize that this is it!!! Cant wait til we get to hear the heartbeat and stuff!!! My husband has been walking around for the last few days with this huge smile on his face!

Im so ready for some other TTGP/3T girls join me soon!! Praying for you all!!

So sleepy.....

I just got done working four 12 hour shifts in a row yesterday and while John was getting ready for work this evening I totally crashed on the couch. He happened to get a picture of it! So either this is a symptom or Im just still exhausted from working so much.

FYI: Emma the dog in the picture never lays like this with me.. She normally will lay on the corners of the couch.

IM KTFU!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!

For the most part all of the ladies that follow me know Im KU now!!! But soon other people will begin following this blog as well including some family members!!! So I tested yesterday morning and John wasnt at home he was at work. Boo to that... At first I I texted him and told him it was a BFN with a sad face. Then a quick second later I sent him another text saying I see a line. But ever so faint.... I sent him the picture and he said I think I see it!!! We got kind of happy!!!

He was off last night and I held my pee from 4pm til 9pm not all on purpose. We ended up going to eat with a friend/coworker and her husband and there baby. So Im sitting there while we are eating dying because I need to pee so bad. I could not get home fast enough. I got home and if you remember I had John hide the test from me because they are addicting. He slowly hands one to me and I rip it out of his hand or I was going to pee all over the bathroom floor. The line is darker!!!! So I decide I will take another IC in the am and if the line is even darker I will use a digital test!

I had to work yet again so I was up by 5 am and did it!! I saw the line pretty fast on the IC! So I dipped the digital and there it was. The most beauitful word on the planet!!!!! Im having so many emotions right now its crazy!! Im happy, overjoyed, worried, anxious, stoked, and most of all relieved!!! This cycle was by far the best cycle I have had since TTC!!!!!

There are so many ladies on the TTGP/TTTC board that I want to thank but man there are so many. So many girls really reached out to me and appreciate them so much. Could have not made it thru all of this without you guys! I will greatly miss those ladies and hope that they get there BFPs very soon.

Love to all of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you body!!

Im so proud of my body this go around and feel very hopeful for this cycle. I ovulated on my own and my progesterone level was 15.18 so I dont have to do those disgusting prometerium pills. Its about time my body got the memo to cooperate!!! We had the best timing we have ever had and things just feel different.

My husband is so goofy yesterday he said you have a glow about you and something is different. I said its because I laid out and got a tan. He said no its because your pregnant. Men are crazy I tell you and say the funniest things. I truly hope this is it and I can make him the happiest man on the planet. Im so ready to give that man a child!!!

I want to post real quick to those that had stuff suffered losses. My heart truly and I mean truly aches for those that have to endure the pain of that loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Hope everyone has a wonderful and relaxing weekend!
