So this is love!

6w4d

This just doesn't seem real. Pregnant? Me? It is sort of amazing! I found out on 12/20...told Sam 12/27 (his birthday! I waited a whole week!!)

I have had three betas done. My first one hcG was at 41.7 (12/22), my second one hcG was at 94.5 (12/24! It doubled and then some!) My third one hcG was at 1,650 (12/30! MORE than doubled!)

My first ultrasound isn't scheduled until Monday January 12 at 11am. I am kind of a nervous wreck because I don't really have any symptoms! Sam bought me this book called "What To Expect When You're Expecting" and the book is great! But I don't have increasing boob size, sore boobs, frequent urination, morning sickness, or anything else that is supossed to come with growing another human in my body! It makes it hard for me to believe there is a healthy babe in my uterus. The only thing I have really had is cramping - which I am hoping is good! Hopefully a sign of baby Kenkel digging their way down into my uterus!

My estimated due date is August 28 but people in my family tend to come 3 weeks early (We are a very impatient bunch!). My due date was September 24 (my Mom's birthday!) and I came on September 7. I will have to ask Sam when his due date was - but I am guessing he was late! He is always running late for things and likes to take his sweet time :)

Sam is such a proud daddy already. He is so much more patient and helpful since I told him. He happily took over litter box duty and has been cooking more. I have been slightly moodier than usual (is that possible? :P) and he has been extremely patient with that. He just lets me have my outburst and we carry on.

I am so excited for my first ultrasound - and all the following ones! They reveal so much - how many babes, how big they are, their sex (which we are not finding out so don't ask!) But for now I am just praying for a heartbeat! Then I think I will be able to get excited about baby Kenkel. At this point I am too afraid to get too excited - because between my PCOS & hypothyroid I am a higher risk for miscarriage. So far things seem to be going beautifully though!


Well I am signing off for now. I will try to update at least once a week!
