1, 2, or more??

We are excited for our ONE little peanut that's growing inside me!
 
Yesterday we got to see the heartbeat and even hear it a little bit at 6 weeks!  It was so cool and made things seem so much more real.  I can't believe we are going to have a baby!  The doctor said they like to see the heartbeat anything over a 110 and ours was a 125.
 

Going into this appointment, I had been preparing myself for twins because we put in 2 embryo's and my doctor from the beginning seemed so sure that if we put in two that we would get two.  So during the ultrasound we both felt a slight disappointment when we couldn't find the second one.  But we were just so happy to see the one in there and hear that heartbeat!  And we both all along just wanted one from the beginning anyway.  It will make the pregnancy, delivery and after the baby comes so much easier than if there were two.  We just feel so blessed to be pregnant!

ONLY CHILD

YES!   EXPIRING MAY 2013!!!
 
 After 7 years of marriage
 5 years of trying to get pregnant
 1 amazing adopted Paxton
68 injections of hormones (36 more to go)
lots of bruises
nausea
fatigue
1 migraine
We are finally pregnant!
and can't believe it!
 
It was all worth it, we are so excited to add to our family!  I am only 4 weeks along, I know it's early, but so many people knew we were going through the In Vitro process so we had to tell the good news!  I am actually feeling great now, but I've heard that most women don't feel sickness until a little later 4+ weeks of pregnancy, so I still may get the sickness.

We can't believe it actually came out positive that we did two tests!
 
On the 9th we went in for a blood test to confirm, they like to see your HCG levels above 100.  We had a 295!  And then today (2 days later) I went in again for another blood test and they want to see that number double to make sure things are progressing and we had a 711!  We feel so blessed and are so grateful for such wonderful family and friends and for all your support and prayers!  We pray that this pregnancy will continue go well and that those embryos will stay sticky :)
 
Oh yes, we ended up putting two in, so in a couple of weeks we will go in for an ultrasound to find out how many are in there!  We will keep you posted!
 
It was really cute, before we made the decision of putting in two we had a conversation with Paxton...
 
Us:  Do you want a baby brother and a baby sister?
Paxton:  No just one
Us:  Do you want a brother or sister?
Paxton:  a brother
Us:  do you want 2 baby brothers
Paxton:  no just one
 
Later after we transfered the two, we told him about it and occasionally we'll ask him...
Us:  What's in Mommy's tummy?
Paxton:  a baby, two babies
 
and occasionally he'll say...
lots of 'em
 
Ha, we sure hope there's not LOTS of them.  We are anxious though to find out how many!
