an announcement...

i am 9 weeks pregnant!!

after miscarrying in january we were very nervous when finding out about this pregnancy. It had been a while since i had tested and so i was completely shocked to see 2 lines on the pregnancy test. i called the doctor immediately and asked if we could watch my levels this time because of what happened previously. hcg is supposed to double every 48 hours in the first several weeks of pregnancy. they tested mine and it tripled, which was a relief. my progesterone level was good the first time but did drop the second time, so my doctor put me on progesterone supplements to see if we could maintain those levels. we went in last week and saw the little tiny heartbeat!! what a relief! he said i am only in a 10% chance of miscarrying now. so, looks like things are good! so exciting! we waited till we saw the heartbeat to tell makenzie. she was so sad last time there was no way i could do that again. as you can see in the video she was quite happy about it! she will be such a wonderful big sister.

so, come back for updates about our new little addition!
