Still Here

Just lots going on. Will update soon!

Update

So we got some of the test results back yesterday and we are discussing them among ourselves at the moment. All I can really say is it doesn't look like we have a decent chance of having our own biological children. Apparently the pregnancy I had 2 years ago was a lucky shot and the chance of us getting another shot would be a miracle. S0 we are discussing exactly how we feel about this and possible other options. It's very sad but we are dealing.

Took a Quiz

What's Your Baby Naming Style?
Not sure if your baby’s going to be more of an Adam or an Axel? Sometimes the best way to whittle down the mountain of baby name options is to find out which names best suit your own personal style first. From classic to retro, take our quick quiz and find out where you fall.
Your Results
Your style is… CLASSIC
From movies, to books, to fashion icons, you sure have an appreciation for all things classic. So, chances are, when it comes to naming baby, you probably won’t spring for anything too unusual. You’d much rather stick to traditional names that have some real staying power than risk having your kid taunted on the basketball court. (Smart move.) Just don’t confuse traditional with boring (i.e. think about going beyond the Anns, Jennifers, and Jasons.) Our advice: There are definitely tons of classic baby names to choose from that are still unique enough to seem original (see below). And trust us, baby will be grateful later -- when there aren’t 10 other kids with the same name on the kindergarten roster.
Classic baby names you’d love:
For a girl: Adelle, Sophia, Grace, Olivia, Claire, Audrey
For a boy: Noah, Jacob, Alexander, Andrew, William, Grant

I have to say I think they are a little off. We love unique names.

Quick Update

Everything went great! The anticipation was the worst part. He even let me see all the images once it was over. All clear NO BLOCKAGE! Sigh of relief. Now I can go party it up for the superbowl! Who Dat baby!

Tomorrow

So I got my call yesterday about my appointment tomorrow and how to prepare for it and explanation of what would happen. I am thinking I just go in get a few x-rays and bounce on my merry way. WRONG! This is an hour long “PROCEDURE!” There are going to be tubes and “discomfort” involved. I won’t lie I am straight up scared! The only people that know what I am doing tomorrow are my mom and J. After hearing what all is involved, I wouldn’t want him there. It would freak him out and he doesn’t need to see what is going to go down. However I wish terribly my mom was here! She used to be a nurse, well she still is, but she used to be a nurse for an OBGYN. She knows all about this and what’s going to happen. I am scared I am going to be allergic to iodine, I am scared something is going to go wrong, I am scared it’s going to hurt, but most of all I am scared I am going to get bad news. I was told they can pretty much tell you right after if there is anything wrong.

I never wanted it to get to this point. But there are statistics that you have a 30% increased chance of getting pregnant for 3 cycles after this procedure. We are at the point where I tell J what I am going do but no details unless he asks. It’s just easier that way and less freaky for him. He has enough to worry about anyway. Also we are to the point where after this testing if nothing is found we are just going to let nature take its course.

But in the mean time I am SCARED SHITLESS!

The verdict

Sorry it’s been so long. Between our house warming party and J’s birthday I have not stopped in the past week. So last Tuesday I went in for the normal poking and parading. I have to say first of all I LOVE my new Dr. She questioned me on a few things on my chart that have happened in the past year and then went into proactive mode! She asked me about my cycle and things that go on in the month and the normal things. She then tells me she wants to run a few test and see where we stand. We talk about the fact that if I know nothing is wrong I am fine with just seeing what happens in the next year. So when were done we talk about what kind of test she wants me to do.

First up a set of X-rays this is already scheduled for this coming Friday.

Next blood work on the 3^rd day of my cycle and 8 days after my first positive on my ovulation test.

When all of this is complete we will sit and go over all the results together.

The problem with this. My only complaint is if one of these bloodwork days falls on the weekend I have to wait until the next month to do it. And of course this has already happened. My day 3 hit this past Saturday. If it comes up again next month I may just ask if I can go in on the day and get it done. So this is where we stand in the testing stage. Honestly I am excited someone is on the same page as I am but it just feels weird. I think I am more disappointed we have gotten to this point. In the process of his J and I’s mind set is starting to change. We’re both kind of thinking is it meant to happen to us? After a miscarriage and then all of this should we just let whatever happens happen? Maybe we not meant to be parents? Why are we trying so hard to change something that is perfect now? We are happy, we have money, and we are comfortable so why would you want to rock the boat? I guess we are just in that phase of why? We are past the “this is just what we are suppose to do, this is the next thing on our life list we are suppose to do” phase. We don’t know, these things are just suppose to happen. We aren’t supposed to plan these things.

So that’s the mind set right now. So we are going to do the testing. At least we can have the information either way.
