I’m having a baby.
Maybe.
Hopefully.
The last several months have been a blur.
I had an MRI scheduled for the first working day after the
New Year. I took a test before, to be sure, and maybe, maybe saw something.
It was not all happy toasting in our house. I think Jared’s
first words were, “I’m scared.” Not to have a baby. We want another baby very, very much. I’m sure some of you want a baby so much that you can’t imagine anything
other than joy.
Turns out it was the right reaction at the time. I won’t go
into it, but we are quite happy to have made it this far. This far is not so
far, just a little into trimester two, but it’s more than we originally
thought. Doctor too.
So she told us we can be cautiously optimistic. Easier said than
done.
I’m not one of those tiny pregnant chicks. Thanks to my
dandy fibroids, I’m huge. Poor uterus measured 6.5 months at my first
appointment. I wasn’t even eight weeks. I haven’t asked her what it was since
then. Why bother?
And it’s painful. Silly ‘broids got to go.
If it ends in a baby, it couldn't be more worth it.
So that’s a little bit of what’s happening over here.
That and my Phinny is becoming more beautiful and wild by
the second. I am just so grateful for what I have.
i am so, so, so, SO happy for you!
ReplyDeletei know how much you were wanting this!
i am sending you tons of good, positive vibes that you have a healthy, 9 month pregnancy!
Ahh, thanks Faith! As long as we hit 7/7.5 months we'll be happy! Nine would be awesome though. Just hard for me to picture at this point.
DeleteA huge congratulation from me.
ReplyDeleteI actually wondered where you went, and visited your blog earlier today. Hope everything turns out as hoped for.
Why thank you. I'm going to make a real effort to pop in her more. For real. Cross my heart.
DeleteOh goodness! This IS exciting and scary too. I'll be thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteMy feelings too. Exciting and scary. Thanks!
DeleteThat happened to my sis, well something similar... It was very scary, but guess what...... my little adorable niece is now 8 years old!! I will be thinking of you!!!!! Keep us posted!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I hope I can say the same thing at the end of this. I love hearing a happy story.
DeleteCongrats!! Good luck! Pics!!
ReplyDeletePics are scary Audrey. I've already had someone (x3!) ask if I'm about to pop. We'll see how brave I get to document it.
DeleteI was just logging on specifically to see if I'd somehow missed some posts from you----hooray! I had a sneaky suspicion that you might be preggers. That first trimester---whew. Tired doesn't even begin to describe it.
ReplyDeleteI get what it's like to be asked if you're about to pop when you're not-----I think I was measuring 45 weeks before my OB just stopped telling me. I was just glad the girls were healthy in the end, but I was a whale!
Thinking about you.
Congrats to you and your family!
ReplyDeleteI am a little confused...why is the doctor telling you to be cautiously optimistic?
There are just a few complications with this pregnancy. We aren't sure how they'll impact it at this point.
DeleteSorry about the complications you are going thru. I'll definitely add you to my prayers.
