12+ weeks - but things are complicated

So there's a complication with this pregnancy. We've known about it all along and hoped that it would resolve but it's actually gotten worse. So I need a procedure this week and it could jeopardize the whole pregnancy.

I am optimistic that everything will be fine, but it's crappy. I am finally feeling better and almost at the end of my first trimester and it would be nice to feel more secure at this point.

Alas, I will continue to take it one day at a time and hope for the best.

10+ weeks - Almost ready to believe

It was a rough few weeks. I mean ROUGH. I was so nauseous, headachey, and tired and generally felt so unwell that I wasn't sure that I could make it. It was terrible. I am starting to feel a bit better and can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Of course, I am still tentative and weary and just trying to get through the first trimester before I get too excited. I am really starting to show so we are telling some people, but I haven't made and big announcements and probably will hold off until 13 or 14 weeks. I can't wait!

I have a few friends going through IUI and seeing their struggles and stresses is a good reminder for me, not that I need one, of how lucky I am. It may have taken 5 tries this time and twins may not have been the plan, but I am feeling very blessed. Fingers crossed that the next few weeks go by quickly, easily, and with no big issues.
