Why I've been MIA....

Well it's been a while since I last posted, and for those of you coming to see news in our road to a new baby may have been like, What the heck?! Well I've been staying away for a reason and now, I've decided to let you all in on the news. WE ARE EXPECTING!! I took a test on July 28th, don't even ask why I thought to test, I don't remember, but I did and it came back very clearly positive at 11dpo. This was our magic dpo, because usually by this time I would miscarry so having a positive then was big. I got blood tests to confirm it, and after a small ectopic scare, we saw a heartbeat at 6w1d. Baby was measuring exactly to the day which was a HUGE relief. You have no idea. But because of our previous losses we don't want to announce until we are 12 weeks (I'm 9 weeks today) which is why I have been staying away. But tonight, as I lay here on the couch with wicked bad morning noon and night sickness, heartburn and insomnia I decided to spill the beans on my blog. Here's to hoping that on April 1 we will have a healthy and happy baby in our arms (I'm due April 8 but since I am a repeat c-section, baby wont be any later than April 1, my dads birthday).
