Life Surprises

Wow, I am bad at this blogging thing. I am going to try to be better, I promise. Well a lot of things have happened since last time. In March of this year we were told that there is a good chance we would not be able to have children. It was probably the hardest news I have ever heard. However, I am a fighter and try not to give up to easily. I just knew that this could not be, so while I went to this Doctor, I just didn't feel very good about him. I decided to go see another Dr. that my friend told me about. I then waited till September to go get checked out again. When Brandon and I went, we felt that it was a very good experience. The Dr. told us what solutions we could do, and where to start first. I felt very optimistic. When we were done talking to the Dr. I asked if there is anyway he could do a HCG blood test. I told him I was just feeling very different and I didn't feel normal. I just wanted to know if there was a chance. Well, the next day they called and told me that all my other blood tests came back normal, and that my HCG test came back positive. I was shock, I think I screamed on the phone. I kept asking if this was really happening. I was so happy and had a perma-smile on my face. The nurse told me my HCG levels were at 40 and that I needed to come back the next day to do another blood test, to make sure my levels went up because the levels were a little low. So, I went back the next day had my blood test and was told my levels spiked up to 136. Yes, we were for sure pregnant. I can not tell you how excited Brandon and I were. I remember immediately getting down on my knees and thanking my Heavenly Father for this long awaited blessing. Next, was the appointment at 10 weeks to hear the baby's heartbeat. I was so nervous, but when I saw this little gummy bear inside me, and saw the heart fluttering I can not express the words I was feeling. I was so happy, it was truly the best surprise I have ever been given. Now I am at 17 weeks……. Brandon and I are having a baby May 27, 2014
