Taking a Step Forward

This post is a bunch of things...updates and ICLW to sum things up a bit.

It's been a long, long time since I've participated in ICLW.  Welcome and thanks for stopping by if you're here!  I had decided to sign up once or twice but was so afraid of the three descriptor words. 

So, today I took the plunge.  I officially typed, "pregnant after RPL".

To make a long story short, Mr SC (hubs) and I have been TTC since 7/08.  We never really had difficulty getting pregnant, it was the staying pregnant that was our problem.  No one was really able to shed any answers, either.  So, we decided back in October we were on an indefinite break and were most likely going to live child free. We were supposed to start trying again that month after our fourth miscarriage back in May of 2010.   A week later, we found out I was pregnant.

Diving up the 40 weeks of pregnancy by threes, I'll be into the 3T this weekend.  Absolutely, positively crazy.  I still, still cannot believe it.

I'm doing fairly well.  I have an OB appointment this Monday to make sure that I'm still not measuring ahead.  If I am, I'll have another u/s just to double check that everything is ok. 

The coolest thing started happening a few days ago.  We can now see our little girl kick.  It's so strange to just be sitting in a chair and watch your stomach move!  I love every moment of it.

Now that we've picked a name I can use it instead of "baby girl" all the time.  The nursery is coming together slowly. 

Knock on wood that all continues to go well.
