Hoping, Wishing, Praying. The rantings of an infertile, sassy, domestic diva. Monday, September 10, 2012. Had an appointment with my OB last Thursday and all went well.

My OB is pleased with my progress thus far and am crossing my fingers the remainder of my pregnancy stays this way. Milestones: Baby T's arms,...

Hoping, Wishing, Praying. The rantings of an infertile, sassy, domestic diva. Monday, September 17, 2012. 20 weeks - "Half-Baked". Wow - hard to believe I have made it to the half-way point.

Hoping, Wishing, Praying. The rantings of an infertile, sassy, domestic diva. Friday, June 29, 2012. This will be a quick update as I am leaving for South Dakota in about 15 minutes but didn't want to leave y'all hanging :). This morning's US showed Baby T measuring a day ahead of schedule at 8w5d with a heartbeat of 175 bpm! We saw a little tiny head, little arm/leg buds and the umbilical cord. The tech said everything is looking great thus far! Friday, June 22, 2012. Oh and I CRAVE carbs! While the nur...

Hoping, Wishing, Praying. The rantings of an infertile, sassy, domestic diva. Wednesday, September 26, 2012. I ended up telling our infertility story over on my other blog. This past week as well as announcing my pregnancy. I was unsure at first sharing our story over there but am glad I finally did. It's like a huge weight has been lifted and I can finally share my excitement on the other blog regarding this pregnancy! So without further ado, here is my last weekly update here:. Best moment(s) this week...

Hoping, Wishing, Praying: March 2012
http://if-journey.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Hoping, Wishing, Praying. The rantings of an infertile, sassy, domestic diva. Saturday, March 17, 2012. And so the truth comes out. I thought we have both been on the same page and had the same goal but last night I realized just how wrong I was. I can't help but feel that this was just my dream and not his. I am so frustrated and sad. I'm just not sure how to process all of this. I feel like I am grieving for the loss of a child that I never had. After yesterday, I can honestly see how IF can tear apart...

Hoping, Wishing, Praying. The rantings of an infertile, sassy, domestic diva. Monday, August 27, 2012. 17 weeks (baby is 5 inches long and the size of a turnip).

Hoping, Wishing, Praying. The rantings of an infertile, sassy, domestic diva. Monday, August 13, 2012. 15 weeks (baby is 4 inches long and the size of an apple). Symptoms: Feeling pretty good.

Still steering clear from coffee and Mexican food and still have a weakness for potatoes - especially mashed! What I'm lo...

http://if-journey.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Hoping, Wishing, Praying. The rantings of an infertile, sassy, domestic diva. Monday, July 30, 2012. This is my last week in the 1st trimester - which I find hard to believe that I have even gotten to this point! These past couple of months have been so surreal and sometimes I feel like this isn't really happening to us. I'm hoping this feeling of being pregnant will start sinking in soon and I can get to a point where I can relax a bit. Still just taking it one day at a time. Can't feel any yet. I actua...

Check it out for some awesome recipes from HT's kitchen and follow along as I update it weekly. Keeping busy has been exactly what I needed and mentally I am doing much better. I saw this quote on Pinterest a couple of weeks ago and it touched me. Touched me so much I printed it out and made it a magnet to put on my fridge so I see it everyday. The first one has ...

And without further ado, here is the update I know a few of you have been anxiously awaiting. 14 weeks (baby is 3 1/2 inches long and the size of a lemon).
