The results are in....

So Roberto and I ventured out to San Marcos for dinner last night. This is our favorite Mexican Restaurant :) I ate entirely too much, but enjoyed every bite! By the time I got home I was miserable. I had heart burn all night and finally began throwing up at 4am, not fun. Not fun, but better than lying in bed for hours with horrible heart burn. Anyways, this morning I was still pretty nauseated and called in to work and even considered changing my appointment. I thought for sure that the stomach bug going around the fam had finally reached me :(

So I had my test this morning and Robert and I waited all day for the results, and finally at 3:30 we got the news. POSITIVE!!! I still can't believe it. I was beyond positive that it would be negative b/c my cramps have been all too familiar for this time of the month. I was so sure that over the past couple of days I would start crying when I was by myself driving, not hysterical but upset for sure just thinking about the effect it would have on my Robby. But there we were at 3:30 looking at each other crying as we listened to the nurse tell us all the hormone levels (which I was too much in shock to even write down) and details, etc. We are just elated at this wonderful news. All of our dreams of being parents might actually come true.

Today I am week 4 and next Tuesday I will have more blood work, just to monitor the little gremlin and his/her feeding grounds. Oh, so I do remember the nurse said they like for my estrogen to be above 100 and mine is like 750-ish. Whoa!...I think :) Anyways, I can't remember the numbers, but she said all hormone levels are "fantastic". We like "fantastic"! Oh, so for the bad news, I have to continue the booty shots (progesterone oil) for the first 12 weeks! OUCH!!!! So I have 8 weeks left. My tush is gonna be like steel after all of this mess. It's times like these when I wish I could trade butts with Kim Kardashian, ya know, just for the pin pricking options :) In all seriousness...I think, this has all been so worth it. Just to get this wonderful news today has made all the stress and needles and hormones well worth it :) We're thrilled!

My goal now is to figure out what in the world to do about this indigestion...obviously my diet has to change or at least be fine tuned :) It is just going to take me a while to figure out what causes the indigestion...as of now Chili and Fajitas. I know this is probably a no-brainer for most of you out there, but I have always been able to pretty much eat whatever, whenever without a problem. I have never been able to eat red meat late at night or lots of sugar without having an upset stomach. Hmmm, any tips for preventing heartburn?
