The best update!

July 11th, 2012. Where does time go by? I always have goals to update on here but for some reason time goes on and I forget to update. Well a lot of changes are coming. I am so excited for the next stage of life. John will be graduating school in a month and a half, we will be moving to Utah a few days after that. We will both be looking for new jobs, and once we have jobs then a place to live, and the best news of all we will be having a baby in JANUARY!!! We are so excited. We have had a crazy few months finding out this news.

         It all started in May of course when my time of the month was supposed to have come and well it didn't. So I did the typical and took a pregnancy test. It came out POSITIVE!! So exciting. John wasn't home, but I sent in a picture of the test. He didn't believe me. I had played a prank on him a year ago and he didn't like it, but I had told him I was pregnant. This was real though, but he still didn't believe me. So when he come home later that day I had another test so I did it with him home just to prove that it was correct. He got excited but you know it is still so early at that point that he didn't get too excited. So I took the proper steps when to my doc to have them do another pregnancy test. This too came out positive. I was getting more excited.

   Well the next step was to go to the OBGYN and have them do more tests and an ultrasound. We had to wait a few days. Yeah it's not that long, but for us it seemed like forever. So we go to the doc on Saturday, this is when the fun started. The Doc does the ultrasound but he didn't see anything... SCARY. He looked and looked but there was nothing to see. Oh wow we were kind of sad again. He decided to have me do more tests. So we drove home and had blood work done on that day and then the following Monday. That was fine, I don't mind that. The blood work was saying that there was a baby... Oh wow we didn't know what to think. The doctor calls me kind of worried. He said for my levels being as high as they were there should definitely be a baby, he was now thinking that we had an ectopic pregnancy... I didn't like hearing this. He wanted to come to the ER and have more tests and ultrasounds done.

    OH JOY. To get to the hospital we had to drive an hour, and well find a car because we don't have one. We actually had ridden our bikes McDonalds and were eating, I wasn't supposed to eat another bite. I was bugged and sad. I didn't want to believe that this was happening. We got back home, and found a car and made our way to the hospital, after I made sure that John gave me a blessing. The hour drive felt like it took forever.

    We get there and they admitted me. I was poked and prodded. It was so much fun. But in the end we got great news, I was indeed pregnant, but not as far along as we had thought. The pregnancy was in the correct spot and things were looking great. I was 6 weeks along. That was the best news to get. My doc is so good he even called me to congratulate me and update me on what was going on. He then wanted to see me a week and a half later. We got a little picture of our little one. It literally looked like a dot to me. SEE
Okay so here are all the pictures that we have had. We had one at the ER, then at the follow up with the doc almost 2 weeks later, and the last one was a month later. I think that we can find out what we are having at our next appointment in a 2 1/2 weeks. I am super excited. Just thought that I would update you all!!!

**** FYI the pic are a little out of order. The first on is actually our latest pic, The middle one is the first pic we go and the last is the middle one at 8 weeks.
