Kramer Journey

Thursday October 4th 2018:                 On October 4th, I turned 37 weeks exactly and had my "36 week"  appointment. My blood pressure was high ( as it had been for weeks prior). When my OB came into the room she said something along the lines of  "Let's have a baby today". I was shocked and completely unprepared. She started discussing me getting induced that day. I asked if I could go home and get my bags first and the OB advised that Tim could go home and get the bags and that I would not be leaving. I was met just outside of the appointment room with a nurse and a wheelchair. I was then taken by wheelchair to Labor and Delivery to be induced. From here on, until Lincoln was born was a bit spotty, but I'll provide the little details that I do still remember.                 Once to Labor and Delivery I was met by an amazing nurse that I had during my previous trips to Labor and Delivery for my blood pressure. I was set up with an IV, and waited aroun

I so very much apologize for the short, horrendous video!

How has it been 15 weeks already?!         I always have the best intention to do a Weekly Update/Youtube Update....maybe today will be the day that starts!  There have definitely been some downers so far with this pregnancy, but I will limit that information to try to keep this as upbeat as possible! If you are curious what the downers have been, definitely comment or message me and we can talk about it! I want this to be informative as well as to help others who are going through the same thing!         Symptoms from Week 1- Week 15 (these are not seperated by the weeks, just an overall list):                          Nausea, Vommiting, Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG), Headaches, Cramping, Cramping, and more Cramping, difficulty staying asleep, frequent urination, and several infections. Baby's heartbeat has consistently been in the 160's.   My gut instinct says girl. At an overall view of Wives tales, majority point to girl. If Isosceles is a boy , I will have to do a lot

In 2015 Tim and I began our journey of trying to conceive. After some time we realized that the Testosterone that Tim was taking had completely diminished his sperm count. After stopping his Testosterone Tim's count then went to a "normal" range. After the count was in normal range for quite some time, and still not conceiving, we decided it was time for me to get checked out as well. At this time we found out I had PCOS ( Poly-cystic Ovarian Syndrome). My irregular periods were a result of having PCOS which made it difficult not only to get pregnant but even to track ovulation. I was given my first round of Clomid, 50mg to assist in regulating my cycle and force ovulation to occur. On cycle day 21 I had my bloodwork done to check if ovulation had occured. My progesterone was less than 1. Typically after ovulation your progesterone should be at least above 10. The OBGYN  then decided to bump my Clomid up to 100mg for my next cycle. After taking Clomid on cycle days 3
