Been gone a while...

As always. I think that 90% or more of my posts seem to start that way. Sigh. As I type, I think hmm, where are my kids- probably playing upstairs somewhere, but I have no idea. May be I should not blog, may be I should go find them. BUT, oh well, they are probably with an uncle having fun, so I am going to have fun too right!

Anyways, part of the reason I have not been on for a while is that I was planning on making this cool movie to show you guys, but it it isn't happening and I don't know if I will actually end up doing it so I gave up and decided to show you a picture anyway-

Pregnancy number 6, but only the second one to get this far!!! I have finally made it past the first trimester and my specialist thinks everything will be fine. So Woohoo! Sorry about the no makeup thing- right now I usually put it on for church. That's it. I figure if you are just going to throw up and your face waters everything off what is the point? Besides, even if I don't loose it, what is the point of wearing makeup to grace my couch's presence all day? I am starting to slowly feel better thank heavens. If this pregnancy is anything like Bryant and Caitlyn's I probably still have another 5-6 weeks of gradually feeling a little better. So- facts that lot's of people ask: there is only one baby:)  And yes, I am sure- I have had 6 or 7 ultrasounds. I am due at the end of November some time. I have a made up due date from ultrasounds because I never had a period after my last miscarriage. This pregnancy was both planned and a complete surprise. After all of my miscarriages, I have taken a year or more to get pregnant again. I was so sad and depressed that it would be ANOTHER YEAR before we could even try to keep a pregnancy when it happened. We had already been trying for 2 again. However, I started seeing a reproductive endocrinologist right after and I had a lot of hope that we would be able to solve problems etc. So- I just had to wait to have a period and start ovulating hopefully and then we could try these new things. Well- I spotted and was so annoyed that it takes your body time to get regulated. I was ready to start this thing. I decided to test for ovulation every single day until I either ovulated or started my period. The first day I tested it was positive. But I started feeling really sick way too soon. I tested positive for pregnancy a few days later. Did blood work and ultrasound to find out that I had already been pregnant for a few weeks and that the positive ovulation test was incorrect- you get a positive if you are pregnant. I was super scared because the main reason I miscarry so easily is that I have a deficiency of progesterone after I ovulate that prevents a pregnancy to establish and implant- so I have to take progesterone as soon as I ovulate. I thought I had done that- but was already pregnant. So this pregnancy was both a complete surprise and miracle (I believe from a blessing I received during my last miscarriage.) We are SOOOOO excited. The kids are so excited too. They constantly tell me that my tummy is getting bigger and they kiss it to kiss the baby. I am only 12 1/2 weeks. I know I won't get as HUGE as I was with the twins, but alas, I think I will always be big fast, and hide nothing. Sigh. Bryant wants a brother, Caitlyn wants a sister...big surprise. I have had lots of dreams about a girl, but really need Bryant to have a brother to wrestle with- so I am sixes. I still have to post on facebook and our regular blog, but wanted to tell some friends :)
