O yeah we are Pregnant....

So I think that the real reason I stopped blogging before was because I wanted so badly to do this post but couldn't.  I wanted to be able to post about being pregnant- BUT it just wasn't happening.  Then I felt guilty because I know how blessed we are to have two healthy, amazing kids already and I know there are families out there who have been waiting on and continue to wait on those two wonderful lines!  I am not going to try to say that I know what those families are feeling, but I will share our experience in hopes that it might find someone that needs to know that they are not alone. 

So we started the process of trying for #3 in March of 2011.  Going off of past experiences, we expected to be preggo by the summer of 2011.  That wasn't the case.  We continued to try and finally gave in and bought some ovulation kits.  The first two months or so of trying the kits I was never able to get a positive result.  I went to my normal doctor to make sure everything else was okay.  It just seemed so strange to us that for our first two kids we only tried for 2 months max before being pregnant.  All my lab work came back fine so she recommended me trying some different day counting methods, and if that didn't work to contact my OB.  They didn't work so around the end of the year I made an appointment to see my OB.  She required additional lab work, tests, the whole work up on me.  In the end, she could find nothing that should be preventing me from conceiving.  She said I could try Clomid if I wanted.  We did try it in February 2012, and in March of 2012 we saw those wonderful 2 lines (and then that wonderful word PREGNANT-- yes I'm one of those that required her husband to go back to the store to get a digital one to just make sure we were reading those lines right)!!!!
