Happy Turkey Day!!!

In light of the upcoming holiday and what it stands for.....I knew I was past due for a post about our last few weeks. I have had some complications already in my pregnancy. Since I had surgery on my tubes...I am a higher risk for ectopic. In the multiple ultrasounds, one found something worrisome. A mass measuring roughly 2 cm was found outside my left ovary. My doctor...who I have seen but one time.....was in quite the rush to tell me to take methotrexate to dissolve my "problem" as he put it. It is a medication to disolve the "products of conception".....he told me it was an ectopic pregnancy.The report stated that it could be an ectopic....OR.....a complex cyst (ie a corpus luteum cyst,...or an ovaian cyst)...he never told me about the last line....and I was shocked at his cavalier attitude...not even willing to wait and prove without a shadow of a doubt. So I have chosen another doctor....and he will be going about the business of determining whether or not the baby is where it should be....There is what looks like a gestational sac inside my uterus as well. We will,...unfortunately have to wait for this answer...but I will not stand in front of the lord on my day of reckoning to answer why I destroyed his miracle....why I trusted everyone but him.....but here are a few things I am thankful for....



My two beautiful children!!!

My Husband....

My family.....

My Friends...

Grace given and faith renewed....


And last but not least!!!>.......being able to tease my hubby and call him middle aged while he teases me for answering the remote when the phone rings,..lol....

Baby blanket for a friend!

I made this for my good friend Melissa and her darling little girl who will make an entrance in a few months! Sorry about the lighting, lol

Knock Knock!

So I have honestly been amazed at the interesting things that have been going on lately.... Today I honestly feel like the Lord came aknockin'...let me explain

On my way to drop the kids off at school this morning I felt a knocking by my right front tire....This had started out as a squeak when I went over speed bumps weeks ago....But had transformed into a knocking that rattled through my car. I decided to make my way to Aarons work where I knew he could do his manly car speak and tell me what was going on. Four blocks from work....I prayed "lord please,..I can't take any more right now" I heard a clang that sounded like something flew off...and no more knocking....hmmmm.....My delightful Hubby :-) decided to check anyway....and unbelievably enough,...he finds a tire moments away from blowing...bowed out and cracked with wires sticking out. Minutes after switching it out for my adorable spare...It goes flat. Since I had bought it used not two months prior,..we decided to go back to the place I bought it,...and were helped by a very honest man who switched it out without cost! We were very blessed that this didnt happen with children in the car...Or this weekend on our fishing trip! So something was wrong...and I honestly believe he came knocking....soooo glad I listened!

Prognosis.....

There is some question about the position of the baby...and whether it is progressing....I have now had what they consider a "threatened miscarriage".....so the next few weeks will determine whether the baby is indeed where it should be (not outside the uterus)....and growing well. I have an ultrasound that will be scheduled in 2 to 3 weeks to determine cardiac and structural integrity. Honestly,.. though I am scared....I have faith that this will all be ok....I am including a picture of my ultrasound from Saturday and what they think is the gestational sac...there is a question about it, lol....But it does have the decidual ring and there seems to be blood flow to the sac as well .. So.....just for fun....here is the pic...

Pregnant!

Yesterday Aaron and I found out that the surgery was successful and I now carry our very own miracle blessing. Five years of regret and saving for this....I stared in disbelief at the test for quite a while, lol. Now we wait til my doctors apointment to make sure midget#3 is in the right place....any prayers are so welcome and appreciated. I do have faith that everything will be fine,...yet look forward to seeing with my own two eyes.

My opinion

Though I refuse to get on a political soapbox,..I do have to get this out...

Though I am quite happy that yesterday was a historic day....It was turned into something it never should have been about.

Lets take the money from people who sweated and went to college to earned that money and status....and pass it around to those who have not yet overcome those obstacles.....

Lets bring our soldiers home and welcome the backlash on our shores....

Lets support those that refuse to protect our smallest citizens while we bemoan abortion and how it is now used as birth control.......

While we're at it,....lets stop requiring more experience from our plumber than we do our commander in chief...

Lets pray he listens to his advisors as he leads men and women even though he himself has never been in their dusty boots......

Me,....I will spend the next few years praying that charisma is not the only thing brought to the presidential reigns......That I am wrong in my reticence towards this man....It is in no way about race to me....I firmly exercise my right to weigh a person by action and deed.. and am a bit offended by how little that was spoken about....but that can be my own sensitivity.....I am aware as I type this....that by this not being the "popular" opinion....I may have to prepare myself, lol....I am by no means trying to be combatative...yet am exercising my american borne right to be outspoken, lol
