So I have been waiting to tell the world about my news for good reason. I am pregnant for the third time since Hayden and I think this one's a keeper. I guess what they say is true, third time's a charm! For those who don't know my history, I miscarried when I was about 7 weeks along the first time and then the second time I had what is called a blighted ovum. I was carrying a sac with no baby, but my body didn't register that there was no baby. I was very sick which made me think things were okay until an ultrasound at about 8 weeks confirmed that nothing was there. I then had to abort the sac at 9 weeks. That was something I hope to never do again. Especially since I experienced labor and a side effect of the pill was "death to mother." I have had a couple disappointments and am just so relieved that all is going well so far. I am almost 12 weeks along so it's pretty safe to spread the news. I have had about 3 ultrasounds by now and have seen the heartbeat all three times so I am extremely happy about that. I have still been extremely nervous about every little thing which makes me think I can't do the pregnancy thing too many more times. I have gone through several mixed emotions over the past few months and feel extremely blessed to be able to carry another baby. I have been less sick than I was with Hayden which makes us think that maybe we are having a girl! It is just hard to say one or the other because of course I want one of each so I don't have to worry if I'll ever get my girl, but we already have so much boy stuff. This pregnancy I have been put on progesterone which is not a cheap pill. Luckily, I will only be on that through week 12 and then I will have to take a baby aspirin throughout the whole pregnancy. I just hope and pray that all goes okay. I have had to learn a lot through this experience and it was hard to not just give up and throw in the towel!![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFf9JGeEyL9-c4u2SPWU9auMuj2aW6KYV34OwBH6OM0Bl0jPeIHlxTgaWM7YnQ57BHOxA3pdHe5-vLhGhae7tO-diGmuiJ4Hl42jWQbEFOyL9Vju2OH0vvhuw0p3gPBtS0QZcXjvjRSoU/s320/scan_8511154359_1)
