Pregnancy

9/4/12: After 15 months TTC, I got my first ever BFP at 11 dpo. I couldn't believe my eyes! I took 2 more tests, just in case: all BFP! According to my LMP (8/11/12) our baby's EDD is May 18th 2013. If we go by my ovulation date, the EDD is May 17th. We're so excited!! :)

9/8/12: 4 weeks.

9/10/12: First appointment with OB. First beta & progesterone check.

9/12/12: Beta result 620, progesterone 15.3 (OB says this is good).

9/17/12: Second beta & progesterone.

9/20/12: Got second beta & progesterone results: HCG 5864, but progesterone dropped to 7.8. Major panic!

9/21/12: Start daily progesterone supplements; will take them until 12 weeks.

9/22/12: 6 weeks.

10/6/12: 8 weeks.

10/8/12: Dating ultrasound scan! Should be around 8 weeks 2 days. Baby measured 8 weeks 4 days! New due date 5/16/13! :)

10/17/12: Second OB appointment.

10/18/12: 10 weeks.

11/1/12: 12 weeks.

11/5/12: NT scan! Baby looks wonderful, moving all over the place and looked like he/she waved at us at one point! No abnormalities seen, baby has a nasal bone and NT measurement was 2mm which is great. We heard the heartbeat for the first time, too: 158 bpm! Tech couldn't be sure about gender, but thinks baby is a girl! Baby measured 12 weeks 6 days - 2 days ahead again. Don't think my due date will change again, but if it does it will be 5/14/13.

11/14/12: Third OB appointment (13 weeks 6 days). Heard baby's heartbeat, which was around 148 bpm. As expected my EDD is still 5/16/13 :)

11/29/12: 16 weeks.

12/11/12: Fourth OB appointment (17 weeks 5 days). Heard baby's heartbeat, which was around 156 bpm. Found out that all blood-work for fetal anomalies came back fine, nothing to worry about. :) Scheduled anatomy ultrasound for 1/2/13!

12/19/12: Unexpected OB appointment, due to recurrence of pilonidal cyst. Heard baby's heartbeat and was referred to a surgeon.

12/27/12: 20 weeks.

1/2/13: Anatomy ultrasound! (20 weeks 6 days). Everything looks great! Heart was nice and strong (167 bpm). Found out our baby is a boy! We're over the moon! :)

1/24/13: 24 weeks (viability)

2/20/13: 3D ultrasound (1st attempt - baby boy was very uncooperative!)

2/27/13: 3D ultrasound (2nd attempt - baby boy did much better!)

3/7/13: 30 weeks.

4/25/13: 37 weeks (full-term)

5/16/13: 40 weeks! Our baby was born at 6:06pm, 6 lbs 11 oz, 20.25" long. <3
