So, one morning I woke up pregnant

This is me, a lady who has been diagnosed with unexplained infertility since 2002. This is me at 14 weeks pregnant giving my husband the thumbs up.

So, what changed? Well we adopted our son, he was 4 months old when we became pregnant. Did I relax? Did I "stop thinking" about getting PG? The answer is no. What we had to do was pay an absurd amount of money to help fund someones vacation house.... :)

Trust me, Jeff and I stopped focusing on all that for real in 2007. What do I think happened? Honestly, looking back... I think we were unable to get pregnant because Connor was to be our son, until that happened, some higher power put a screeching halt to our fertility. Once Connor was with us, that same higher power got a kick out of us and said, "They can handle 2 kids 13 months apart - let's do it!" Yeah, we must be an interesting sitcom to watch from heaven.

So, look at us, a couple who attempted to defeat infertility via adoption, only to find out we can get pregnant on our own. To say the least we were shocked, but we welcome the surprise!

What's next? Well, I will use this site to keep updates about SeaMonkey. I do not want SeaMonkey to over take Connor's website, so, looks like you might have to check in 2 spots now. Yep, I'm difficult.

The pregnancy has been good so far. I was feeling great until around 7 weeks -- then came the nausea, smells were weird, and I hated all sweet stuff. This all lasted until about 12 weeks. So for 5 weeks, Jeff had to deal with an exhausted wife who only wanted to eat chips and salsa from her favorite Mexican restaurant.

Once 12 weeks hit, I felt so much better, still tired at the evening, but MUCH better. Since week 12, all has been well. We have had 3 ultrasounds and 2 heart rate checks. Everything has checked out really well -- we did have a little concern over the heart rate at first, but that fixed itself. Last check the heart rate was in the 140's - so everything is good. Next big decision is to find out the gender or not.....hmmmm.. still debating that one.

Therefore, that is the update in a nut shell. And no, please do not udder to yourself, "I knew they would get pregnant." Or "All you had to do was adopt." These statements really, really eat at me. I know a full website of wonderful woman who have been fighting with infertility as long or longer than Jeff and I. If all someone needed to do was adopt, every lady on that site should have TONS of biological children. Sadly it does not work that way. We are the minority. We are about 5 of 100 people on that site that this has happened to. So, next time you hear a story like ours, or hear someone having difficultly becoming pregnant-- think twice-- think how many times they have already been told to "relax" or "stop thinking about it" odds are you are the 100th person to tell them that.

OK, off my Soapbox.... But, yep, we are expecting #2 -- how nuts is that? And how far are we now? We are 16weeks and 3 days pregnant :)
