7 Weeks + an ultrasound!


Here's our little bubba! It's the prettiest blob I've ever seen! I wouldn't say everything was crystal clear, but we definitely saw the heart beating which was exciting!!! Mark explained it to be a " bright blinking light". They predicted the due date to be somewhere between May 14th and May 22nd. In two weeks they will set the due date and complete another ultrasound. I've been waking up sick the past few mornings, but other than that I've been doing well. I'm excited to reach next week to share the secret with our family. I hate keeping secrets and want to share the news of our little one!

6 weeks!

Yesterday marked 6 weeks and things seem to be going real well. I woke up one night this week and had to run to the toilet, but other than that I've felt totally fine. It's almost scaring me how 'normal' I feel. Some say the sickness doesn't really start until week 6...so I shouldn't be holding my breath too early. Yesterday also marked one week until my first doct. appt (well sort of my 4th). I'll feel a thousand times more reassured when I see my little ones heart beating!

I'll update you next week with some 7 week pictures!! :)

Looking good!

It's Monday and I just recieved a call from the nurse. My HCG level is now 651.8. So it not only doubled, but it increased 140 % more then where it was expected! The news has definitely relieved me, but I'll feel better next week when I see my little ones heart beating!

Keep praying for us!

5 weeks, good results!

Well my HCG levels were calculated and they have doubled from my last results-255.5! That means Little baby Yager is hanging in there! The nurse said they will do one more round of test tomorrow just to be 100% positive there is nothing to worry about. Unfortunately this means waiting until Monday to hear those results.

It's ok though, today lifted my confidence. I feel so excellent and want to scream from the mountain tops that I'm pregnant!!

More to come next week!

HCG 139.7

Well Wednesday's here and it's time for the second test! Yesterday the first test results were read and my HCG level was at 139.7. The Doctor reported it to be in the norm, but said that she really wouldn't be able to say one way or the other until the result of the second test comes in. I plan to go in today around 11:30, the results from todays test come in mid tomorrow afternoon.
I'm praying baby Yager is hanging in there!

Worried about little baby Yager!

Yesterday around noon I rushed myself to the hospital. I was spotting and so nervous I was losing the baby. The Doct. checked and confirmed that I was bleeding. They drew blood, and it's currently being tested. The Doct said she would call today to let us know the results. I will go back for more testing tomorrow. If both yesterdays and tomorrow's blood test come back looking ok, everything should be fine. If the numbers do not match up to where they should be, the possibilities of problems will rise.

Hang in there baby Yager! Keep us in your prayers!

Finally, a BFP! 4 wks, 3 days.


In April, Mark and I started trying for our little baby Yager. Over the past few months, I have had so many negative pregnancy test that when I saw a positive result, I thought for sure my eyes were playing tricks on me. Three pregnancy tests later, I realized baby Yager was in fact in there! What a crazy feeling! Little did we know that when my sister announced her pregnancy, baby Yager had already made himself/herself at home. Crazy how things work out. My prayer is that baby Yager and baby Schick can be as close as I am with my sister!
The only symptom of pregnancy that I have had thus far is a very sore back. I also feel a bit of cramping from time to time. I don't mind my symptoms at all, it reminds me she/he's in there!
Our first doctor appointment is scheduled for September 25th at 10:30am. Our plan is to tell the family the first weekend in October when we'll be home for my sister's wedding! Until then...it's a very hard secret to keep!

Hopefully you'll enjoy reading updates on baby Yager!
