Journey of a bedrest: day 12
Only 9 days to go...
Having to give yourself a shot is not fun!!!
I've been doing it for 4 weeks (every saturday a progesterone shot) and I dont know why it gets harder every week, like I already know what to expect and that scares me beforehand :/ Progesterone is oily so I get a huge bruise everytime!!!
And to think people say I have a good hand to give shots, they always ask for me when a kid is getting one, but I am not that good on myself, LOL!!!

Journey of a bedrest: day 9
Only 12 days to go...
Today has been a hard one for me, I dont know if it is the hormones that got me on an emotional rollercoaster or what?!!
Please pray that I dont go insane until I get my ultrasound on the 10th and please pray for a strong heartbeat!
By the way the bleeding stopped since that first incident so it is not that, but being a doctor allows me to know way to much information on bad scenarios and I just can help thinking about it, we already love Baby Bear more than words can express!

Journey of a bedrest: day 8
Only 13 days to go...
I was on an ugly mood these past days, but Bayo came to visit me and made me all better again, lol, I feel like I am in high school!
Now I am looking forward to catching up with my scrapbooking :) I had all my behind photos printed out (some are from June 08', yes, I am that behind), Fonsy will bring them Dec 1st from Puerto Rico (she went home for thanksgiving and here in Dominican Republic printing over 200 pictures is expensive and walgreen does them for 0.15 cents!!) and I plan to get up to date, all 32 projects!
I dont want to have to do the baby scrapbook with some left behind things, and I have a lot of material to work with!!
So I have something to look forward to :)

Journey of a bedrest: day 6
Only 15 days to go...
Again I would rather have a weekday here! But dont worry I wont complain the whole post, ha!
Like some sugestions I've received here :) I've been reading a lot, right now I am finishing the memory keeper's daughter, so far I like the book, it is not my type of book, but it is a great novel anyways.
I'm waiting for my What to expect when you are expecting book, I've read both really good and really bad reviews for it, I am basically just buying, reading it for fun/tradition, any thoughs on the book if you have read it?
Any good book sugestion or webpages to download good books?

Journey of a bedrest: day 5
Only 16 days to go...
Today has been a really long one, I am actually prefering weekdays instead of weekends here on bedrest land :/ there is more on tv on weekdays or at least they have a schedule!
Internet proves to be good/bad for me, it can calm me down or put me on my nerves LOL!!!
Bayo calls several times a day to ask for baby bear, not me, he specifically ask for baby bear (he uses a diferent nickname), wich I think is the cutest thing, he really is excited!
Things are going so well that I am beginning to think I dont really need to be in bed, but dont worry I will stay here until I get my dr's approval :)

I am thankful that after the scary incident this is still hanging at my mother's door:
It says "Grandma I love you a lot", it was my way of letting her know about our sweet baby bear!
We are really thankful the spoting stoped and we are looking forward to a healthy heartbeat on our next ultrasound.

Journey of a bedrest: day 3
Only 18 days to go...
Here I am on my bed (of course) trying out my new camera!!!! cause look at what I got in the mail today: 
My Baby Be Mine Maternity Band, to help expand my pre pregnancy pants, and I am really happy with the quality of the fabric!
I know my belly is not that big yet but I couldnt help getting it :) plus who knows when it will start growing, gotta be prepared!
My brand new Coolpix L20 camera from Nikon, it is still a point and shoot and we DO want a better camera, but for now this will work great!
And finally my Belly Book, it is a great pregnancy journal, just for the belly, I love it and already started filling it in!
So today is actually an exciting day here at bedrest land, and we are happy to report ZERO bleeding since the first scary episode :) Couldnt be happier!

Journey of a bedrest: day 2
Only 19 days to go...
Asking people for food is harder than you would have though, I hate feeling like I am bossing around :/ and dont have a clue what I want! I wish they would just tell me I'll make this for you :) and it's only day 2, lol ohhh what a journey!!
I've been sleeping on a weird schedule wish I dont want to get used to because it will be hard to break once I go back to work!
I also discovered that 98 channels on a TV are not enough channels and that people dont log into msn in the morning :/
A lot of people from Los Cacaos have called me today wich made me real happy, they said they'll be praying for us to go back soon :) and said they'll take care of Bayo while I am here; these people are so great to us!

Journey of a bedrest: day 1
Only 20 day to go...
Being on the bed is not so bad, of course I only say that because this is the first day and I dont want to go into crazy mode :/
Bayo left today for Los Cacaos, wish made me real sad to be unable to go with him, I really love working there!
I've been using the internet for all the time we dont have access and I hope I dont run out of things to do on my first day.... so sugestions are welcome!

1st Month
I saw this idea in a diferent blog and will do a monthly update :) people usually do it weekly but I think one each month will work for us!
In my pijamas getting ready for 3 weeks in bed!! Sorry for the bad quality pic, is all we could get with Bayo's cellphone, my camera will arive in a couple of days!!
In my pijamas getting ready for 3 weeks in bed!! Sorry for the bad quality pic, is all we could get with Bayo's cellphone, my camera will arive in a couple of days!!How far along? 1 month (5 weeks), still need a confirmatory ultrasound because so far the ones I’ve got just show us the baby sac and we need one to measure the baby, we can’t guide ourselves from my last menstrual period because I am really irregular.
Total weight gain/loss: + 1, probably not pregnancy weight, lol!
Maternity clothes? Not yet.
Stretch marks? None, and hopefully they’ll stay out!
Sleep: perfect!
Best moment this month: finding out about our sweet baby bear.
Movement: can’t wait to feel it!
Food cravings: not really, wish is weird because I always have cravings… but I am waking up at 5 am hungry!
Gender: just a baby bear.
Belly button in or out? Still in.
What I miss: I don’t miss anything yet, it is too soon to miss, but I know I will miss working, because I am stuck in bed for 3 weeks.
What I am looking forward to: in 3 weeks seeing baby bear heartbeat strong and leaving the bed!
What I learned this month: God is great and powerful, He can do anything!
BIG SCARE!
today I spotted a tiny bit :( wish made us both cry our lungs out, we already love this baby too much!
I came back home for an ultrasound and everything is perfect, thank God!
Still the doctor doesnt want me working so I will be hanging around for 3 weeks until I get another ultrasound and reconfirm everything is perfect.
Please pray for us, it was really scary and we dont want to loose our tiny baby bear!
So I will keep posting from my bed :)

1st Doctor Appoinment!!
It was great, everything is perfect :)
I love my doctor so much, she is always taking care of every small detail and remembers everything we talk about, she takes her time to listen and makes me feel confortable!
We got an ultrasound, but since baby bear is so tiny I will start posting ultrasound pics when you can really see what is going on ;)
We leave tomorrow for Los Cacaos, wish is good because I already miss my house there, working and all the children!

Progesterone
My doctor said that she wanted to see my levels and I just got them today, they are 13.05, wish is normal for 3 weeks, but she said that since she wants to be extra cautious (wish I dont mind, that is what I love about my Dr.) I will be on progesterone shot once a week until 12 weeks.
I had to do the shot myself (Bayo is at Los Cacaos) and that was no fun, but I will do anything to keep everything save :)

Story
I really want to remember and share how we found out so here it goes...
If you read my blog you know that this last month my follies were really small, but my doctor said keep trying the natural way cause you never know :/
October 31th I saw some blood and though it was my period coming, so I knew I had to take my Clomid on day 5, but the spoting stoped that day so I was unsure what to do.
Last night (I'm back home) I took a home pregnancy test and waited 5 mins to read it and it was negative, I went to the bedroom and kept asking Bayohan why I couldnt get pregnant and how frustrated I was, went back to the bathroom about 10 mins later and there was a really faded pink line :0 Of course I went online and read a lot of people saying that if it is pass the time in the box it means you are not :/
Still we decided to do a blood test today and it came ou positive :) Bayo was so happy that he cryed, I was in shock!!
We are really happy and thankful for all the prayers... Please keep praying because we know it is still to soon, but we couldnt help to share the news and get excited!

My siste bought me this cute baby booties (not the ones in the pic, remember I dont have a camera, mines are cream and red) when she found out we were TTC.
I've kept them in a drawer and everytime I am home I look at them because they give me hope and are the prettiest thing in the world!
In July 2010 this will belong to a very special someone: OUR BABY!!!
We are happy to say that we are pregnant and I know you are not suppose to say until 10-12 weeks (we are only 2-3 weeks) but I am to happy not to share :)
Thanks for all the prayers, God is great!!
Later I will post how we found out about this sweet surprise! :)
