Baby Al

After many years of asking me to have more kids Adam finally convinced me.  So 6 and a half years after I had my tubes tied I went in and had surgery to reverse my tubes.  Around the first of November I took a test and it came back negative.  By November 10th I had taken 6 tests and on that day I finally received a positive test.  Since I had surgery to have my tubes reversed I had a high risk of a tubal pregnancy so I made an appointment to see the doctor on November 14th.  Adam and I went in and when they did the ultrasound they didn't see anything but she also didn't see anything in my tubes either.  They sent me to the hospital to have my hcg levels checked on Thursday and Saturday.  When I called on Monday to get the results they said you are pregnant and to come back in a few weeks for another ultra sound.  December 2nd we headed back to the doctor and we were able to see the baby and a heart beat, I was about 6 weeks pregnant hence the reason they could not see anything when we had been in a few weeks before that and we were expecting to have a baby in July which is what I wanted.  I wanted a July baby to give my mom grandkids in June, July, August, September, October, and November, silly reason but I thought it would be funny.  We had taken to calling the baby Al since both the girl name and boy name we had picked out started with Al, and everyone calls their baby Peanut when they are pregnant and I don't like to follow everyone else!

The Sunday night after our "successful" ultrasounds I had Adam take me to the ER as I wasn't feeling right.  They tested my hcg levels and did and ultrasounds saying everything looks fine and I shouldn't worry.  On Monday, December 9th I miscarried.  I had what they call a complete miscarriage and did not have to have a D&C.  It is something that has been very difficult for Adam and I to go through after him wanting another baby for so long and us making so many changes to make this possible.  My family has been great in supporting us in any way they can and Heather has been awesome when I have needed someone to talk to who has gone through a similar experience.

We each only took the next day off of work then went back.  I found it was easier to get back into my normal routine vs sit at home where you have nothing else to do but sit and think.  It has also helped having Aiden and Avery to make me not lock myself in my room and not come out.  Those 2 boys have made this whole experience bearable and have been awesome when I am having a hard day.

Tiffany brought me a monkey so I have something to hold when I need.

 

 On Wednesday I came home to some of my favorite flowers Adam bought for me.
