NT Scan

 

The baby cooperated so well :) and even waved, for the first half of the appointment the baby refused to move its hand way from the face but in the end we got the amazing news that every things perfect! 

after getting home Ben and I decided that little blip at the end of the picture must be a penis and that the tech must have made it the top picture since she can't actually tell us what it is.

Im Knocked Up

Saturday Afternoon, September 1st, I was getting home from Cape Cod and really had to pee and even though I swore i wouldn't test till the next day I caved and as soon as Me and Ben got home i peed on the stick! While we were waiting so the test to come back...Negative i figured.... I decided to give ben a red sox baby jersey I had bought on vacation :)

Well as we Spoke the test was finishing up and BAM there was finally a second line!!!! After months of getting negatives...There it was, the faintest lightest line :) of course ben agreed he could see it but it took 6 more test for him to finally believe I WAS KNOCKED UP!!

Here is the last test I took at 5w1d & darkest one yet!

The month of our wedding ben gave in and agreed to start trying :) but a few months passed and i started to become discouraged ( I'm not a patient person!) During august we used ovulation predictors and finally pin pointed the BIG O DAY. Days after O i left for cape cod and started to get cramps so i figured AF was coming so i started drinking and enjoying vacation.....

When Ben picked me up from vacation and brought me home I even said oh well this month is out but Sept is our month! (we had agreed before the wedding that would be our month to start trying) I was even excited and said all this trying had been practice, Well as soon as i got home and took the test...it was the best surprise of our lives and we could not be more blessed :) 

Love & Marriage

On 6.2.12 I married my best friend...Ben and I had been friends since Oct. 2007. We would talk and joke but our timing was ALWAYS off. Well that all changed May 19th 2010 when i asked him to go to Boston for a Red Sox game. That day we started dating right there in Fenway and I also joked that one day he would bring me back and propose (I'm not ever the desperate girl that says stuff like that...but i was drunk). Sure enough 13months later he did ask me to marry him :). On the first saturday in June we got HITCHED, our theme was Alice in Wonderland and it was Amazing!
