pick up your crazy heart and give it one more try

I think I'm ready to put this out for the world to see. I'm pregnant...like for real this time. We had our first ultrasound yesterday and this kiddo is safely tucked inside my uterus where he belongs. I'm 6 weeks and 4 days along with a due date of October 31. We are past the point of cautiously happy and have moved on to just plain happy. We saw the heart beat and the sweet as pie ultrasound tech said that everything looked "textbook" perfect. Everyone at the office was very excited for us and made a big fuss that we had gotten pregnant so easily. This baby was conceived using ZERO fertility drugs. Austin is considerably proud of himself. I was supposed to start Clomid around the 23rd when I should have started my period after taking the round of progesterone. However, two or three days after the last pill, I hadn't started so I started getting suspicious. I went to Walgreen's and then home to eat lunch with Austin. Peed on a stick...preggers...excitement...hugs...sandwich. Great lunch break.

We've told people in our lives, but we still aren't putting it on facebook just yet. So if you are my friend on FB, keep this news off until I've decided to put it out there. It may be next week, it may be later tonight, or it may be when the kid pops out. I'll let you know. Thanks to you all for letting this be a safe place where I can talk freely.

  1. Lindsey, you made my day. I am so happy for you guys, and will keep you in my prayers. I have a CD sitting on iTunes waiting to be burned and mailed to you but didn't feel confident in the mix enough to do it yet; I will take another look and just do it. Bless you, and Andrew, who is surely smiling right now!

  7. Lindsey and Austin Congratulations!!!!! I will keep you in my prayers. I know that Andrew is smiling down from heaven because his Mommy is going to have a brother or sister for him to look over from heaven. I am so happy for you for I know this has been a very long journey. From Cynthia Norland
