Some huge HUGE news!!!

I'M PREGNANT!!! Holy cow. I've known for a week and it still hasn't completely sunk in all the way yet. Mainly because I'm still in the area for miscarriage, so I'm trying not to get too excited just yet. I honestly didn't think I was pregnant. I bought a pregnancy test to jump start my period since I was 11 days late (not unusual for me every now and then).

According to the doctor, I'm 7 weeks 1 day, but the baby is only measuring 6 weeks 5 days because I more than likely ovulated late (Duh. I could have told them that without the sonogram). We got to see and hear the heartbeat yesterday morning. It was so surreal. I still wasn't sure that there was actually a baby in there until it popped up on the screen, but there was my little turtle in all its glory.

I went to my endocrinologist last Friday and they were more than excited for me. My a1C went up a little bit, but nothing we needed to worry about. They didn't even really change much...but I had just had to change all my settings because my sugars were running so high. Other than that, I'm feeling really gross and sick. The OB gave me a prescription for Zofran so that I can continue to function at work and today is the first day that I've been able to work a whole day without almost throwing up at some point or another in over a week. I'm exhausted and pretty much just want to sleep all day, but then that makes me feel even grosser, so, whatever.

We're not officially announcing the pregnancy just yet because there is still the chance for a miscarriage. So now we're just asking everyone to pray for a happy, healthy baby that I'm able to carry to term. I'm not sure I can take much more grieving after all I've been through with this journey.

I cannot express my thanks enough for those that have been praying for us for so long now. I know that God gave us this baby because of all the prayers. I don't know why He would answer a prayer like this just to take it away, but I also don't understand why it took so long to get pregnant in the first place, so there's no sense in NOT asking for more prayers now.

Again, thank you everyone. I will be sure to update as much as I can. My next appointment is in 3 weeks, and I'll get to see the baby again so there will be more pictures, I promise :)
