BIG NEWS!!!!

I havent blogged in a while, but we got back from our cruise on March 22nd, Sunday night, and Monday morning we found out.......WERE PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG, I can't believe it, I guess there was 1 very determined sperm!!!!!!!!! I am feeling great. So diffrent than our other pregnancy!! I am tired, but soooo hungry!! No morning sickness..yet!! My breasts hurt a little (they hurt TONS last time) but they have like doubled in size already!!!! Hopefully the nursing will be successful this time! EEK!!!! We can't believe it!!!

The countdown....

I can't wait for this vacation. We sooo need it. It will be wonderful to spend some quality family time together. In paradise. With Mickey. Sweet!!

Negative!!!

The preliminary results show no growth!! That is so good!! Now, that can change as time goes on, but hopefully it won't. We are starting her on some Monistat cream with every diaper change (just externally) to see if mabey it is a yeast infection. Please continue to pray that no growth occurs on the culture and we don't need to start our angel on antibiotics!!

Still waiting....

Still waiting to find out any results, and my poor little girl is still running a low-grade fever, but is eating and drinking well. Hopefully I will find something out before the end of the day!!

Rough Day!!

OK, so our daughter has been acting very weird the last few days, always croutching down on the legs of toys and chairs, kinda like "ride the pony" sitting, with anything hard in between her legs. She has also been very tender when we were wiping her and she would try to close her legs. I took her to the doctors today. We got a urine sample and it came back with alot of blood and white blood cells. So, they said that she has a UTI and they needed to send off a sterile specimen to do a culture to pick the right antibiotics. They had to straight cath my little angel!! It broke my heart. She was laying, screaming on the table and she kept looking at me and saying "get down" and then she would say "go night-night". Talk about heart-wrenching!! So they were using a 5 french catheter on her because it is the smallest they had and they wanted it to be as comfortable for her as possible, but she was so worked up that once the cath was in, she started urinating AROUND the cath, and we were only able to get about 7cc's of sterile urine. They called the lab, and thankfully, they were able to run a culture on that little amount. They were ordering it as a STAT, and I actually saw the lab courier vhiecle pulling in as we were pulling out. She has been running a low-grade temp all day, and if it goes over 100.4, no matter what time, we have to call the on-call doctor. They gave me a prescription for bactrim, but we are holding off on giving it to her until the culture and sensitivity come back. I don't want to give it to her for a few days, just to find out that it is not effective against her infection and have to give her another antibiotic. I do not like all these drugs for my little angel. We will hopefully have the preliminary report back tomorrow, if not Saturday. Please pray for a quick diagnosis and uneventful course of treatment. We got some cranberry juice that we will make part of her daily drinkings now, to hopefully keep this from happening again.

On the baby front, I ovulated 2 days ago, but I am not holding my breath!! My wonderful husband just keeps reminding me that "it only takes one" and it happened once already, so it could again. Please pray with us for another blessing.

I will update once we get some test results.

Not Me Monday

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to http://www.mycharmingkids.net">her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.


I did not take my daughter to the mall playplace, and let her climb up all the slides the wrong way. I would not do such a thing!! I always show her the right way to do things.

I also would not have allowed her to carry her sippy cup all around the germ-infested playplace. I did not give into her two-year-old tantrum and just let her take it. Not me!!!

I did not let that same little girl go diaperless in an attempt to start potty-training!!

And, last but not least, I did not allow that last picture to be posted sideways just because I can't figure out how to rotate it!! NOT ME!!! (if you have any suggestions, they are welcome!!)

Dead.....they're all dead!!!

Catchy post title, huh?? Well, I guess you can all deduct how todays PCT went. For the u/s, there were several small follicles on the right, but a 19mm dominant follicle on the left!! This would be great if I didn't kill of the sperm!! This will be 2 months in a row that I will ovulate from my left side. I want to continue this trend, seeing as I do not have a fallopian tube on my right side. My RE has suggested us to try the IUI. We will do a follicle scan u/s on or around day 17 next cycle. Then, if my dominant follicle is on the left, we will schedule the IUI, but if it is on the right, we will hold off on the IUI. Basically, there is no point in doing it when I am ovulating on the right side, so we don't need to "waste" our money.

Funny side note, I called my Mom after the appointment today (she is the only family member that knows of the struggles we are having, and she just found out in December). I was telling her about the IUI and how the doctor said it will cost $200 per IUI, but my insurance covers 50% of all my treatments and meds at this time, so it will only cost us $100 (which is WAY less than I thought it would cost). My Mom then told me that if we have a boy, we need to name him Ben, or at least have that for a middle name. I, of course, was confused as to where she came up with the name Ben, and she replied, "because he cost $100, like Benjamin Franklin on the $100 bill". This is a very cute observation, my Mom is so funny!!!
