Welcome!

It is time to start a new blog and a fresh page in my life story! What better way to celebrate a new beginning than a new blog? I realize only bloggers will understand this ;) We are moving into Week 8 of our pregnancy and all is well. We had another ultrasound on Wednesday and the baby is growing and the heartbeat is strong. We will have our last ultrasound with out Reproductive Endocrinologist this coming Wednesday and be released to my OB.

I thought I was going to make it unscathed and not have to deal with "morning" sickness - which is really "any time" sickness, but I was wrong. I got sick at work on Tuesday afternoon. I think I have it under control now, but I really have to be careful to eat every 2-3 hours or I feel nauseous. The Italian genes are definitely surging through this baby because the only food that makes me feel better is pasta!

I am sick and tired of taking Progesterone. I am praying that they will tell me I can stop on Wednesday. I also developed a blood clot in my arm from a messed up attempt to insert my IV before the egg retrieval. So I am also injecting a blood thinner twice a day. I will be glad when I don't have to have daily injections anymore.

I realize that many people see having a baby as commonplace, but when you have struggled with infertility and endured three failed adoptions - becoming pregnant is like a blind man getting his sight back. It is surreal.
