Just thought I'd share a bit of our 2010 TTC (trying-to-conceive) journey...
After spending a few months discussing the topic, Char and I committed to trying to get pregnant beginning in March of 2010. We made an appointment with my OB/Gyn Dr. Satterfield (Dr. S) and began the preparation process. I got all of my bloodwork done to ensure I was ovulating on time and after it came back perfectly we decided to give it a go in April. That try ended without our desired positive pregnancy test.
Char and I often joke because it was as if our OB Dr. S. was more disappointed about that first cycle than we were. She seemed absolutely determined to succeed the next cycle...and she did. However, that 2nd doctor assisted IUI (intra-uterine insemination) ended in an early miscarriage. We still talk about that little person we almost created...
It was tough moving forward right away, but with our doctors okay, we did. Our 3rd IUI was scheduled for July 12th 2010, interestingly enough that was the day prior to my Mom's 60th birthday. Well, we got our wish...on July 27th, 2010 I took a home pregnancy test and it immediatly came up positive. Char said she just knew the entire cycle that I was pregnant.
Today, as I type, I am 27 weeks and 2 days pregnant. It hasn't been an easy pregnancy but I'd do it all again to get our son. Sebastian Jack is due on April 5th, 2011. We simply cannot wait to meet him...
