2015 Wrap Up

The first half of 2015 stunk. Rob was sick, had two surgeries and was out of work.  About the midway point through things turned around.  Rob was feeling better, surgeries were done AND we found out we were going to have another baby!  So things were looking up, I turned 30, we took a mini-vacation and were able to get back to 'normal'

I can't remember exactly what happened but here is the gist of 2015

January

• Rob was sick, and just started to head back to work part time toward the end of the month.
• I started working again

February

• Um, probably just working this month and going about daily life

March

• Rob had surgery number 2.  Recovery was smoother this time around.

April

• We celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary

May

• Rob turned 31 
• A few days later he had his final surgery.  I was blown away at how quickly he was recovering (still a process, but he was home in just days this time)
• Found out about baby number 2!!!

June

• Party to celebrate Rob feeling better \

July

• Eleanor's first baseball game

August

September

• I got my wisdom teeth out (it was pouring when I left the office-thus my appearance looking even worse)
• Eleanor's first trip to my parents cabin
• Rob had a trip to the ER.  First one since his surgery, but he wasn't admitted and we were heading back home a few hours later
• Anatomy scan for the baby.  We stayed team green and are waiting until birth to find out the sex
• 
• My 30th birthday (and my dad's 60th -same day!)
• Took a mini vacation to Shipshewana for my birthday

October

• Eleanor turned 2
• Last Halloween Rob spent in the hospital and for much for the whole holiday season that followed so just having him home and around was really nice. 

November

December

• Rob's baptisim
• 

I'm pregnant!

Due May 21 2013!

I really thought I was out this cycle (cycle number 2. ( I had a huge temp dip at 10dpo and the same temp 7/8 times before that ( out of 9 days, I missed temping one and one day was different).

That was Friday (11dpo), I even put a bottle of wine in the fridge because I knew that I would want it after work and having my period.  Only it didn't show that day.  So I thought I saw a line when I tested at 11dpo on a wondfo (Saturday) but I just wasn't sure.  So I waited until yesterday (12dpo) and tested in the morning.  I didn't see a line within the time period, so I marked it as negative.  I did see one like an hour later.  Also my temp had gone back up on Sunday and when I still hadn't gotten my period that evening I tested.  I tested first on the wondfo and while the line was faint it was there without mistaking it.  So I grabbed one of the digital's I had on hand and dipped it in the pee cup all the while my hands are shaking.  Gross I know, but I didn't dump it out after the first test just in case.  After 3 minutes up popped pregnant.  I was freaking out.

After I got the line on the wondfo Rob tried to come in to the bathroom.  I had locked the door just in case.  I wanted to surprise him.  So I yelled don't come in, and then cracked open the door and said I'm doing something and don't want you to laugh at me.  He was like uh okay, and then went to the basement. Then I dipped the digital and when it said pregnant I grabbed the video camera and went downstairs.  I said 'hey do you want to know what I was doing in the bathroom?' and handed him the pee stick and said 'Do you see that?'  and he said 'Awesome' and then we hugged :)

How far along: 3 weeks & 6 days

Weight:

Symptoms:  I am having knee pain, but I don't know if that's related.  I am having a little bit of nausea & am thirsty.

Maternity Clothes: No

Sleep: Same as normal.  Up once or twice a night to pee, but I've always been that way.

Cravings: Lucky Charms

Belly: Button in and no bloat yet.

Gender: Unknown

Milestones: I'm hitting 4 weeks tomorrow, that's a milestone for me.

Looking forward to: Everything!

What I miss: I did take a tiny sip of Rob's wine.  I'm not a big drinker but know that I can't have it, I want it.

Appointments: None yet, I don't even have an Ob/gyn.  I've always  gone to a family doctor for my annuals. I have to find one.  Actually I don't even have maternity insurance.  Our insurance agent recommended we not get it until we are actually pregnant because we don't have employee health plans.  And since he wasn't the only agent to say that we went with it.  So what sucks is the first six months won't be covered.  I will call next week and get that changed, and then make an appointment somewhere.
