Apologies for the lack of recent updates...mostly there hasn't been anything to report. Or there has, but we wanted to wait a little bit before saying anything.
Charlie and I are expecting our first hoodlum 16 July 2012. We found out the week of Thanksgiving and initially were trying to wrap our heads around the news first. You see, those of you who are very close to us know that we have been dealing with infertility for the last 4 years. What many do not know was that I was under no treatments or medications at the time we conceived! Charlie and I had decided that with so many changes and transitions coming up for us this year that it would not be a good time to resume treatment until we were settling in with new jobs, new location, and new home.
Higher powers say otherwise.
Charlie has been great these last few weeks. He's beyond excited about being a daddy and is eagerly plotting away for little mini race car drivers. He's been busy with work and still transitioning out of the Army but has managed to help out quite a bit around the house.
I am a lucky duck and know it. I only suffered 2 weeks of intense headaches and nausea, then had a bout of swollen gums. My major symptom that has been dragging me down is fatigue. I am forever tired. It didn't help that the doctor labeled us as high risk due to my infertility treatment past and that we have never EVER had a positive result. Due to the high risk, I have been allowed to breathe, eat, and sleep. No exercise, no over-excitement, nada! It's been a real drag. I am impressed that I have not been a severe case with all the icky symptoms...I always figured I would be but I seem to be breezing right through the first trimester well enough.
Hope all is well and that you all had a safe and wonderful New Year!
Until next time...
Bre
