After a few months of nothing happening, on October- 8-2011, I knew I was one day late for my cycle. Cody and I decided to go get a test. When we got home I took it, it was a very very faint positive. Even though you could barely see it we were so happy!! We didn't want to tell anyone yet, not even our parents. We had to pick up Hadlie that night at his parents house and when we got there Hadlie was sitting on my lap and said "How big is the baby?" I said to her, "What baby?" She looked at me like I was stupid and said "The baby in your tummy!" I didn't want to say anything to her since she was so hurt the last time so I didn't answer. About a week later on the 15th we got another test to make sure. I took it right when I woke up and it was a very bold positive. We were SO happy!!! We were at my parents so we told them, Cody's parents, my sister, my two best friends and my cousin. Right away I called my doctor to let him know and to get on Progesterone to help keep the baby this time. Even though we were so excited we were also scared of the same thing happening yet again. Every night Cody would rub my tummy and tell the baby "Good night little man, I love you."
A few days later was Hadlie's birthday party, I was 6 1/2 weeks. My whole family was there so we decided to tell them. They couldn't believe it and were so happy!! I was a little worried about telling them cause I knew the next day we had our first ultrasound and didn't know what we would find. The next day at the ultrasound my parents came down to go with us, my mom sat with Hadlie on her lap while Cody stood right next to me holding my hand tightly. There wasn't a baby but there was a sac with something on the side of it. They figured I was only about 5 weeks instead of 6 and to come back to get another one in a few weeks. We were so excited that there was something there even though there wasn't a baby yet!!
On November-18-2011 was our next appointment. This time Cody's mom Tammy came with us along with my mom and Hadlie. I was so nervous but Cody told me everything would be okay. Dr. Thackeray came in and started the ultrasound, I didn't notice that what we were looking at was our beautiful little baby until Cody said "Is that the heartbeat?" Dr. Thackeray said "YEP!" I was so happy that it finally happened and started tearing up. Cody picked Hadlie up to show her our new little baby. Dr. Thackeray measured the baby and said I was 9 weeks and 1 day. It was so little but moving all over the place and punching. We got two pictures of our little peanut and I couldn't stop looking at them. I sent it to all my brothers and sisters, they were all so happy to finally see this little baby we have all waited so long for. Cody was so excited, we had been through so much to get this baby and we finally had one with a heartbeat!! Dr. Thackeray told us I was due June-21-2012... 2 days after our second anniversary!!
Our next appointment was on Nov-30-2011, I was almost 11 weeks. We got another ultrasound and our little baby was so much bigger..in just two weeks!! We could see the head, body, legs and arms now. She was kicking and punching like crazy and pushed her whole body up, we got to hear the heartbeat and we both about cried. Dr. Thackeray said everything was looking great so far and that we could go to one appointment a month and that by our next appt we might be able to see what the gender is. Everything was going so good, we had a baby and it had a heartbeat, we couldn't be any happier..our family was finally growing!!!
