Approaching 11 Weeks, Updates, Our Story

WHERE DOES THE TIME GO??
Wow, all I can say is the time is flying already. To think that I have been pregnant for almost 11 weeks now (knowingly less than that), but still, its amazing. I never thought I would make it this far. For the record, I am already bloated....pants are snug....so I ordered myself 2 bella bands (black and white) on ebay yesterday, cheapest I found with free shipping so I am looking forward to getting those. Doesnt make sense for me to buy maternity pants yet being that I am going to be the most pregnant in fall/winter. Morning sickness is still lingering...even after eating something..but normally waits til I have already digested my breakfast so that of course, I am doing nothing but dry heaving, which is not AT ALL fun..

UPDATES
I have been addicted to Simply Lemonade, dont know what it is about it, but some of that over ice hits the right spot. I havent had too many bad cravings yet...however, I am in love with drumstick ice cream cones (vanilla ones).
My 12 week ultrasound is a week from today and I am beyond excited to get to see our little peanut again. I tried to push the ultrasound off a week until August 6 (not that I want to) but my MIL is going to be in town for a wedding we are all attending (my husband is the best man, cousins wedding) so I was really hoping for her to be able to go since she lives in Virginia and we live in New York, but that didnt work). Its probably a good thing because my husbands step father (who might as well be his real father because he raised him), his wife really wants to go and I love her to death so I said yes. Normally the u/s tech only allows 2 people in the room, hubby of course and then it will be my step mom in law too. My mom had originally said that she wanted to go too a couple weeks back but hasnt said anything since. I wrote it on her calendar and she still hasnt said anything. (We havent been talking that much lately because her decisions lately drive me nuts- Let me put it this way....she is engaged...only been divorced for a couple months..and this will be marriage #5...yup...5 you read right). I dont have a problem if she is happy because that is all I want for her out of life, but whats the rush, why not be together for awhile before taking that huge step?? Maybe its just me and I am being childish about it..who knows..

MY STORY
So, I find it funny that my husband and I tried to conceive for 2+ years with no luck, that we started going to Albany IVF to find out what was going on for them to tell us that my husband has "slow swimmers". Weird part is, we were just going to find things out..didnt plan on doing IVF or anything..just wanted some pointers. Well, we went for a couple months and had tests, then stopped going last year around October because of the holidays and moving into our new house 3 days before Christmas. What do you know, January we found out we were pregnant which obviously didnt last, but we were blessed again with conceiving in May. So, being that the doctors told us that IUI's and stuff like that would be our best option, looks like we didnt need their help and we were able to do it on our own....which is absolutely wonderful! I thank god every day for the miracle he has given us...our little peanut.

Anyways, one more week to u/s and I cannot wait to experience the rest of this pregnancy!
Now that I have written a novel.....
