So I’ve been wanting to post about our conception process for a while, but I have been so nervous because I’ve been EXTREMELY worried throughout this first trimester. We finally had our doctor’s appointment and we were told that everything is looking absolutely perfect and ideal!! We couldn’t be more thrilled :) I’ll be 13 weeks on Thursday and we are expecting our little Caramel Drop on November 23.

Seriously guys...I really couldn’t believe it when we found out. My husband made me promise not to buy anymore tests 😂

Here’s some ultra sound pics:

This ultrasound was everything I needed to finally feel reassured that there was a tiny human growing inside me. We got to see such a strong heartbeat at 182! The little babe was wiggling around like crazy on the screen. :)

Anyways, I loved reading these when we were TTC so I thought I’d share what was different about our cycle:

•Started trying in August—had been on birth control for many years due to PCOS problems

•Again, PCOS problems so I was extremely worried and nervous throughout the whole process

•Tracked ovulation like a mad woman until around January-February

•Took HPTs everyday starting around 5 days before AF was due

•Towards the end of Januaryish, I decided enough was enough and though we hadn’t even been trying a year, the pressure and disappointment was becoming too much for me

•Stopped <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.glow.android">tracking ovulation</a> with pee tests and didn’t buy a new pack of HPTs

•During ovulation week (March 1-7) we only had sex TWICE due to an exhausting work schedule for both of us...BD on the 1st, and again on the 5th. I knew I was ovulating but didn’t really think much about it—I was DONE with the stress

•Was due for a period March 19. I had one HPT left and took it with FMU—only one line, so I just figured I was out and the period would be late or skipped (again..PCOS is the worst)

•Went a whole week without a period and just assumed I never ovulated but I didn’t know for sure because I stopped using the sticks. No pregnancy symptoms all week.

•On March 24, I told my husband that I finally came to terms with not being pregnant now and that I was okay with it. My exact words were, “I haven’t been trusting Gods timing and it’s time I start. He’ll give us a baby when He’s ready and I guess the time just isn’t now.”

•On March 25th, I realized I hadn’t pooped in 7 DAYS. I was in so much pain and took some Miralax to fix the problem

•That night, my hubby went to touch my boobs and I recoiled because they felt a little tender. I told him they felt sensitive and he said “did you ever get your period? I bet you’re pregnant.” I brushed it off because of the negative HPT on the day my period was due.

•All day at work the next day, I couldn’t stop thinking ...what if...what if...

•I stopped at a Walmart on the way home and decided to take the test, expecting the negative, but really wanting to make my mind stop wondering like crazy!

•I got home and took the test hat afternoon...didn’t even wait for FMU...and thats when I saw it. I took a Clearblue I had been saving in order to confirm

•I came out of the bathroom SOBBING and shaking and told my husband and the rest is history :)

I say alllllllll of this to encourage those of you who have worried and stressed to no end....SAME.

Those of you who got a negative test the day AF was due and thought it would be impossible....SAME.

I’m right there with you, and the Lord will bring you your miracle in His PERFECT timing—just like He did for me. When I finally stopped trying to control everything, He stepped in to show me how great and powerful He is.

Baby dust to all of you!💛💛💛
