Second ultrasound was today. Baby is still growing strong and measured two days ahead. Heartbeat was 128. Around the same time my daughter was 114-119 and my son was 127. It's kinda fun comparing things from one to the next.
Morning sickness started this past weekend. I haven't thrown up yet. This time around I have found I feel better if I eat something so now I'm snacking all day long. Gosh I hope I don't gain a lot more weight with this one! The first couple days of morning sickness made me really tired, but I've been feeling back to normal.
We're waiting to share the news this time until I am in the second trimester and we have all the genetic testing results. I'm probably too well versed in everything that can go wrong at this age so I'm feeling a lot more protective of this baby. I have told a few of the moms in the mops groups I attend, but we're waiting to tell our kids and family and close friends.
Crazy to think we are going to have three kids. For the past couple of years I have felt as though someone was missing from our family. I could never figure out if it's because I really wanted another baby or if it was because of all my miscarriages. We'll see how I'm feeling after this one arrives!
Next appointment is in a couple of weeks. One last ultrasound and we will probably discuss which genetic tests we want to run.

Here We Go Again....
I think by this point I feel I'm writing this more to have a record since it seems most infertility patients connect on Facebook or something. Blogs aren't cool anymore. Ha.
Well, we have settled into our life of two little ones. We moved to a different state and have settled into our new community.
I started peri-menopause a year ago and that's been fun. Short cycles, things drying out down there, chills every month before and during my period, feeling moody and crabby. The upside is that my Endo symptoms have been nearly non-existent, still the occasional twinge on the left, but there's just so much damage there I think that will be present forever. I recently started acupuncture again to help.
Both kids will be in preschool half days this fall. I was really looking forward to four mornings a week all to myself. Well, God had other plans for me. My husband has been dragging his feet on getting in for a vasectomy....I think we know where this is headed.
Earlier this week our cat that only sleeps on me when I'm pregnant started sleeping on me. Drug my ass out of bed at 11:30 Wednesday night after he curled up on my belly again. Due to my previous ectopics I always keep a stash of cheap internet dipsticks on hand and test randomly just to make sure. Well, I peed on one (too lazy to catch and dip) and wouldn't you know how quickly the line popped up. I may have sworn.
This is a very unexpected, but welcomed, surprise.
The next morning I called an OB office, because of course I haven't set up care yet since our move. They got me in the same day. I was 12dpo (assuming I ovulated on the 14th, but with being in perimenopause, who knows). Beta was 48! Today at 14dpo it was 131! Doubling time of less than 30 hours. Looks like this little one is settling in. Ultrasound in two weeks.
We're in shock and still trying to wrap our minds around having a third. Before we moved we purged all the baby stuff. Except the crib, because I don't know if I'll ever be able to give that up.
So yay! I'll be expecting a baby October 18th. Less than 2 months before I turn 40!
Planning on not finding out the sex, but to compare to the previous ones at 14dpo
Daughter: 166
Son: 256
Baby: 131
Perhaps another girl? Will be fun to see!
