5) This is my second pregnancy. We had a daughter at 27 weeks due to severe pre-eclampsia and HELP syndrome. She survived for 16 days, but got an intestional infection due to being fed my brest milk and her intestines not being fully developed so they got infected and started to die.The infection was called NEC or Necrotizing Entercolitis. God blessed us with an angel on 10/30/2008 and took her back on 11/15/2008.  

6)  We had to wait 15 months to TTC b/c the drs did a classical incision on the inside and a low transverse on the outside. My first appt will be next thursday the 26th at 6 weeks exactly.(really early I know, but they need to make sure that I am healthy)

7) Right now I am having some symptoms like morning sickness, nausea, tender breasts and a few others, but in the emotional realm, I am trying not to worry because I want this to be a really healthy prenancy. I luckily will be highly monitored for my blood pressure to make sure I don't her Pre-eclampsia again or at least that early agian. I also may have to go on blood thinners as well to keep my blood thin so in hopes to not get pre-eclampsia. Since I am a high risk there are many more things that I am not able to do, such as not being able to go on our cruise that we had planned since April to leave in the end of Sept. I just have to remain calm and not worry about things and believe that everything will be highly monitored, watched and fine.

8) My wonderful husband and Airman currently stationed at MacDill AFB in Tampa Florida and we have been married for 3 yrs and 7mos.

First Pregnancy

It's been 2.5 years that we've tried to conceive.  After one year of trying on our own, I started to look into testing.  I had my tubes check, I had an HSG test, and every other test you may have when you're trying to figure out why you're not getting pregnant.  I  had 10 rounds of acupunture and Chinese herbs, as a less invasive way of TTC.  My husband had 3 semen analysis tests. (His numbers were not the greatest, but they were also not the worst.)

I feel like we had done everything!  All of my hormones checked out normal, my tests all checked out normal.  I had an IUI in the Summer of 2009.  It didn't take.  We took some time off from testing, procedures, etc.  In January of 2010, I asked the Doctor about removing the fibroid.  So after 2 years of TTC, I had a Myomectomy. (The removal of a fibroid in my uterus.) That was in February.  

My husband and I started talking about adoption last Fall and I felt really good about it.  We began our paperwork in May and were going to send them in in June.  Sometime around mid June, I had a feeling to hold off on the paper work.  I wasn't sure why, because we had both finally accepted the fact that we may never have biological children, and we were not sure why, because our bodies were fine.

Near the end of June, I had a positive pregnancy test.  I about died and I was in such shock, I couldn't even tell my husband for 2 days.  I didn't think it was real.  Well, on day 45, I bleed and continued to have a menstruation. :(  I thought, "Let's give it a few more months before we send those adoption papers in!" We tried again: we made passionate love all month long.  Well, my husband's sperm and my egg had a little date one night, and went to the Uterus to hang out for a while...and now we're pregnant! :)  

I am trying not to worry about being pregnant, or fear of losing this baby.  I am focusing on what I want and I practice visualization techniques of what I see happening; a developing fetus, etc.  I have yet to make a doctors appointment.  Is this a mistake?  They say you should way until you miss your second period.  I'm just less than 7 weeks right now.  
My husband knocked me up!  It's about time!
