My long delay

I haven't posted in a while because I've been busy being knocked up.

I didn't want to announce it early on, because many of you know I've been down this road before. Several times. 7 to be exact. And I wasn't very optimistic that pregnancy number 8 would make it. But here I am, at the end of week 12, and I feel pretty confident that I made it through the first trimester. I go to my awesome doctor on Tuesday for yet another ultrasound to see if I made it to lucky week 13.

I've been sicker than any other pregnancy over the past 8 weeks or so. We're talking vomiting at least once a day, every day, any time - morning sickness is all-day-sickness in this pregnancy. I've been on injections of blood thinners daily to try to keep my blood from clotting - turns out that's what probably caused all the other miscarriages. When I wasn't sick I was sleeping. So I didn't update much.

I'll post another update after the doctor on Tuesday when I am sure I made it thru the first trimester. Meanwhile, we're all very happy and looking forward to having another little baby in the house. It's been 4 years since we've had one and we miss the baby smells and coos and squeals.

Yay us!
