everything is good

I am still only measuring 7 weeks but the doctor said today's ultrasound was more accurate. So I think my orginal prediction of being newly pregnant was right. ALthough I was hoping that i was further along because of my LMP. So I dont have to go back for 4 weeks YEAH!! I saw the heartbeat. and a little semi bean. I still feel overwhelmed . I can barely be a good mom to 1 baby and now 2!!! On another note Rory has the stomach flu she woke up at 4am with a fever and sick to her stomach (over and over again) I stayed up with her until I had to go to the doctor and then to work. She was so upset when I put on my coat I felt awful. I hate HATE not being home more. I can't wait for the weather to get warmer because at night now i have to chose between a 1 hour run or 1 extra hour with my daughter. Soon we can all go out together. Do you think my doctor will let me push the jogging stroller and run while pregnant hahahahahha? I already got him to cave and keep allowing me to breastfeed . Can you believe he has never had a client breastfeed while pregnant? Ok that is all for now. Thanks everyone.

the roller coaster continues

I went today to the doctor. He did an internal ultrasound . I told him i was going to look away until he told me to look. He said he saw a yolk sac and that was good. He looked and looked and looked for the heartbeat. I was measuring at 7 weeks. He could not find one but was optimisic. So now I wait another 8 days , next thursday for another ultrasound. I am exhausted. It has been 2 weeks since i had the positive test. With Rory we saw the heartbeat at 5 1/2 weeks. Also I feel like I should be at 9 weeks. If I am going by my LMP which was Dec 21st. I know I am breastfeeding so that might throw it off. And I have only had 3 periods since giving birth in Dec 06 (sorry boys who read my blog). I was ready today for any news. i was braced. I even went by myself because I felt i could handle the news better on my own if it was bad. Not knowing is the worst part.

The little fighting Shupp

Looks like I am a baby having a baby. Numbers were good. Still don't know how far along I am. I can't believe that we were told a month ago that we had almost NO chance of getting pregnant without fertility treatment. Apparently Marc only has a few sperm but the ones he has have the endurance of Lance Armstrong. Looks like I can say goodbye to the New Jersey Marathon and Graduate School. Please don't take that as being ungrateful. I am very grateful and thankful for all the prays and good thoughts. I am just processing this all. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE !! Thanks for taking this roller coaster with me.

no news

Thank you everyone for all your prays and well wishes. I go back to the doctor on Tuesday. He wanted me in Monday but 2 weeks ago Marc and I were asked to come interview for a Masters program at the University of Southern Maine. After a lot of talking we decided to still go interview. So we leave tomorrow for 2 nights in Portland.

Also I know this is going to sound naieve but like CHelle posted I know my body. I feel like the doctor was wrong. My levels were low but only because I was so newly pregnant. I still dont know how far along i am officially but we started thinking that i might be only 3 1/2 weeks. I hope I hope I hope.

Thanks again to all of you your support means so much. I promise to keep you posted.

Good thoughts or prays

I am not one to usually ask for these things but we are in need of them at the moment. Wednesday I found out I was pregnant. It was a huge surprise and I did not know how far along I was. I went to the doctor today and apparently my levels are very low and he thinks I will miscarry in the next few days. He has me on protestorgeon but good thoughts and prays are needed too. THank you so much.


With lots of tears flowing down our faces,

Kate and Marc
