Time to update!

Well, it's official! I'm pregnant!

I took my last month of Clomid with no real hope of it working for me. I called my doctor and got a referral to a fertility specialist. We had an appointment for Monday, October 6.

But still skeptical.

I told my husband later that night and he was very very excited. I called and cancelled our appointment at the fertility clinic and instead made an appointment with an OB
