Third blood test...
I had a blood test November 8th. The day after I took the pee test. I just didn't truly believe I was pregnant. I always do this. It's like I need more solid evidence. Well, whaddya know? The test came back positive. The nurse called back a few hours later that the doctor said the hcg number was a little funny and he wants me to take the test again. So, I did. And the number was low. Too low for where I was in my pregnancy. So, here I am having to go for another blood test today and a sonogram a week from today. I did try to avoid a sonogram, but I guess God had other ideas. I'm glad though, it'll be fun to see the little bean. :)

The beginning......
As all blogs need a beginning, here is mine. I have actually already written the beginning somewhere else, but it should really be here as this is where I will be keeping everything about this pregnancy. So I will start this blog off by posting those entries so everything and everyone will be all caught up. :) Here is the beginning of our journey with our 5th baby.

Cycle Day 1
My husband and I have 4 children. Two girls and two boys. They are DD 8 yo, DS 6 yo, DD 4 yo, and DS 20 months old. I always had "baby fever" when my babies turned one. This time I didn't. It was so interesting to me. I wondered when i'd get that feeling again. Our "baby" turned 18 months and that's when I started getting the "baby fever". It wasn't so much of a fever yet. It was just a small feeling. Like an itch. But it slowly crept up on me. We are away for the summer and I just haven't been good with my b/c pill at all. I kept forgetting and having to double up. The first time I forgot, it was for 2 days. My husband and I started freaking out, him more than me. I called my Midwife who told not to panic. Just double it up and use cautionary measures, ie. condom, or whatever. Hubby decided he didn't want to use a condom or anything. He didn't care. We talked and he told me that in all honesty, he wanted to wait another year, but if it happens he won't be sad or disappointed. So we went with it. I ended up getting my period earlier than normal and it wasn't a normal period. It was lots of spotting and brownish blood and I was so sluggish. I thought I was for sure pregnant. And then AF came with a vengeance. Since that scare I have been having "baby fever" full speed. Every time I see a pregnant woman or newborn baby I want it. My husband started getting it too I could tell. But, nevertheless, I got a refill of my pill and that was that. Fast forward to the end of my pill pack. I kept forgetting again. And I just kept talking about it and saying how much I hated the pill. My husband left me a really nice heartfelt card the other day (I had two pills left). At the end of the card he wrote that I shouldn't refill. We discussed it last night and he told me that he wanted to wait till our baby was 2 (in 3 months), but that he saw how much I wanted it now and he said 3 months is no big deal and he was ok starting now. So here we are, day one of my period. After my period i'll count my 7 clean days and go to mikvah and then we'll start trying! I'm scared, but happy. This will be #5. I never thought i'd have this many kids. But I love my children to death and love being a Mom. My husband and I are so good in our marriage (we weren't last year) and that was part of it. Maybe that's why I wasn't so interested in starting to try then and now I am. Who knows.
This'll be nice to record my feelings and such on here on the journey to #5. :-D

Crampy Crampy Crampy!
I am so blah and so crampy today. I don't know why. I am also extremely thirsty and not at all hungry. So weird. This cramping is driving me crazy. That's all I know.
No date, but was 5 weeks ago the end of October
Second month of TTC
Well, the first month nothing happened. But I didn't expect it to. The fastest i've gotten pregnant was with our third when I went on the pill for 3 months. I got pregnant the 3rd month of trying. With our 4th it took 7 months of trying and I had the para gaurd in which has no hormones at all. This time i've been on the pill, a very high hormone pill, for quite awhile. Over a year. So, I don't expect it to happen right away. I'm supposed to get my period today or tomorrow. Well, in the next three days. Lol I guess we'll see. I don't even want to buy tests and take them. I want to wait till i'm a week late and then test. I guess I just don't want to get my hopes up. Cuz when I do, I get stressed. And stress is bad.

BFP :)
After three months of trying we got our BFP. Insane. Cuz I was on the highest hormonal birth control there was of Ortho Tricyclen. The test showed positive immediately and was very dark. It's insane we're having #5. I can't get over it. I never thought in a million years i'd have this many kids. But it feels good. I love big families as i'm only one of two and i'm not close to my brother at all.
I want to tell everyone i'm pregnant. But I know I can't. I've told a few people. People who will be very supportive of me.
So here goes the next journey of life. <3
