Recently on Facebook I started to notice that everyone was saying what they were thankful for. I was like...did everyone get together or is it a coincidence. Well I must have missed the status updates of one of my friends from high school when she said she was going to list one thing she was thankful for everyday until Thanksgiving. She also said that it would get harder as the days would go on. I don't think so...do you? Well, I am going to try it. From now until Thanksgiving I will post something I am thankful for in Facebook and I will also try to post it on the blog. This was today's entry:
"Melissa Vigues van Herksen is thankful for her growing family. God blessed us with a pregnancy. Do u know someone trying to have a child...tell them not 2 give up. It happened 2 us after 3 yrs of trying and the doctor telling us it would prob never happen. We just had to embrace parenthood and let go of the idea of getting pregnant. We adopted Luka and I think he was truly our lucky charm with this last attempt."
So yes, we are preggers. I am 14 weeks now and so far so good. The picture above is from 12 weeks or so. I have every symptom possible according to What to Expect When You are Expecting and as my doctor so eloquently put it when I told him I was having every symptom in the book...he said, "Well then stop reading the book." I have and I am starting to feel a little better. Now JJ reads it and updates me on any pertinent and vital information....ha ha ha.
I will try and keep you updated on the pregnancy and this incredible journey. Here are some picks of the earlier scans:
This was the scan we had right after we found out the IVF really worked. It was taken when the baby was 5 weeks...well sort of a baby...you can see the gestational sack. He/she is just a bubble at this point. On this day I still couldn't believe I was really pregnant.
This picture was taken at 8 weeks. Okay, on this day we heard the heartbeat and God was telling me, "Melissa, you are freaking pregnant....for real."
