Well it's not what we expected to see. . . .

Well we went to our first ultrasound apt. today at the OB's office. What we saw was not what we expected to say the least. There was no visible baby present. The doctor looked quite thoroughly and after some time was asking questions like did you have a positive pregnancy test and do you fibroids? We talked and decided to have some blood work done before we panicked but I knew right then that something was wrong. To put a long story short the doctor believes I have what is known as a Molar pregnancy. I must say I very well could be the most unlucky person there is when it comes to pregnancies. Jeff and I were both very shocked and in disbelief because I have been feeling quite pregnant lately and have been sick as well. My Hcg levels came back normal for an 11wk pregnancy and he said there was a mass of sorts in my uterus so that is why the doc believes it is a Molar pregnancy. Sooo nxt wk we are going to schedule another D&C. WOW!!!! Can't believe I have to go through this again. Thank god for my beautiful Jackson. I am to the point now where I think that maybe just maybe Jackson may be an only child. That makes me so sad to say because I would love nothing more than to have at least one more if not two more babes but I don't think I can take many more losses when it comes to my bambino's. I think I took this better than with the first mc but it still hurts and is a loss to us cause we were already picking names and thinking about what we were going to do come December with two babes. This news throws us for a loop for sure. I am sad but just want to get the D&C over with and move on. Hopefully I can deal with better than I did the first time around. It was rough with the first mc and I don't think I can go through all that heartache again. Jeff is so supportive and taking such good care of the three of us. I don't know what I would do with out my guys they are the greatest. The doc reasurred me that this doesn't mean I can't have any more babes. He said that I am healthy and will most likely be able to have as many babies as I would like but it just might be a rougher road to travel than most. He said that if this does turn out to be a Molar pregnancy than it is more likely that I could have subsiquent ones in the future as well. Well I think this has helped me some writting on this blog. Other than this blow we are all doing well and hope you all are as well.

Bambino on the way

Well I know that this is way late and most of you already know but we are expecting again. Another babe is due to arrive the 3rd of Dec. I am betting that it will be sooner than that though. I will undergo another c-section this time a scheduled one so I am betting it could be as much as a week earlier. Just hoping for another healthy baby. A boy . . . . a girl either would be great. I am just happy that Jackson will have a little buddy to pick on I mean play with :) So I just had my first mothers day with my child actually present and it was horrible. I had a very dear friend pass away a week ago this past Sunday. I essentially grew up with him. He was like a brother. We went all through school together starting in Kindergarden at Sacred Heart and all the way through to our Senior year. I honestly dont think I have a memory of growing up in L'Anse without him in it. He was such a sweet and happy person that it just seems not possible that he is gone and that he did this on his own accord. Soo the viewing and funneral were on Sunday and Monday. What a sad time and such a horrible loss. No one suspected a thing so pretty much the whole town was torn up over this. I just pray that he is in a better place and at peace. I also hope that his parents will be able cope with this terrible tragity and come to terms with it. I dont think it has quite hit them yet and am afraid of how they will handle it when it does. Those poor people. No one should ever have to bury a child. Please pray for his family if you pray.

On the move!

Well we have been waiting for it and it has finally came. Jackson is on the move. Oh boy is all I have to say. What was I thinking when I was freaking out cause he wasn't moving. Now of course he is making up for lost time and crawling every where. The other day he crawled over to some outlets that are being used for our tv and dvd player and started yanking on the cords. That was the moment I knew I was in trouble. I guess there are worse things that could happen to us. So that is the latest news on our front. I will try to keep up a bit more on this in the future Amy just for you!!!!

Well how to start this blog? How about an abreviated version of our family. I have a fabulous little family. Jeff and I got married in May of 2003 in MQT, MI. We met while attending NMU and dated for about 3yrs before getting engadged. In 2004 we made our first addition to our family by adopting a black lab puppy from the humane society. We named her Zoe and she was our first "baby". We resided in Oscoda, MI which is located in the northern part of lower Michigan for about 5 1/2 yrs right out of college. We made great friends down there who are a lot like family to us. We went through a lot with them and try to continue to keep in touch with most of them. While down there I returned to school and completed my degree in Radiography which is something I am very proud of. Jeff worked fulltime as an engineer in the automotive industry and also returned to school to complete a master's degree in Business Management from the University of MI. Once we finished with all of that we decided it was time to move back to the "right side" of the bridge as Jeff likes to put it. We have resided in Kingsford, MI for almost 2yrs. now. We are glad to be back and be closer to our families. Jeff took a job with The Oldenburg Group Inc. in Kingsford as a Program Manager and is enjoying the challenges that go along with the position. On 6/5 of this past year we welcomed Jackson Thomas to our family. What a blessing he is. I try to treasure all my time with him and Jeff. They really are my world. I am blessed to be able to stay home with him right now. I worked as an x-ray tech for an Orthopaedic clinic in town prior to having Jackson but decided not to go back after having him. We are having lots of fun and looking forward to being able to spend time outdoors this summer and traveling.
