Prayers do work!

So this week was pretty crazy. Lets rewind a little bit..
I had my doctors appointment on April 13th. I was so excited because it was for a sono since the first one we didnt see anything(we thought I was only 4 weeks). I went in ready to see my lil peanut and a heartbeat too. That did not happen. All we saw was a sac and a yolk. Thats it. No baby or heartbeat. I was heartbroken. My doctor told me not to worry because he suspected that I was not as far along as we thought because I had probably ovulated later. Come back in 2 weeks and we will look again. TWO WEEKS? Im going to die. Lets just say, patience is not a virtue that I possess. I called later that day and talked him into letting me come in one week instead. For the next 5 days I googled and googled everything that could be wrong and I convinced myself I had a blighted ovum. Its where the sac develops but the baby stops. I was so upset. I had already told everyone we were expecting again, (remember the thing about me and patience.) and I was dreading telling everyone we lost the baby. A common misconception about blighted ovum's is that there never was a baby. That's not true at all, although to me it would seem a little easier to deal with if I didn't really have a miscarriage. That would mean all i lost was the idea of a baby , not an actual baby. Well, there WAS at one point a baby and I was stuck on the fact that it was not longer there. Tommy was in New york at the time and this did not make it any easier to deal. I went on with my week trying my best to just move on. I'm so serious, I really did not think there was a baby anymore. Tommy told me i was jumping to conclusions but i KNEW. Or so I thought.

Tommy got back and that same day I got deathly ill. I had woke up and threw up my entire midnight snack of la Madeline. Lets just say I will never be eating THAT again. GROSS. I thought this episode was an extreme case of morning sickness, but I had a fever that following evening so im pretty sure it was just a yucky bug.

We got Parkers bday invites and decor this week as well. It will be themed Sports. Super cute :0) Tommorow we are going shopping for his gifts. Hope daddy has his credit card ready ;)

Anywho,
Finally Wednesday the 20th was here. My appointment was at 10 am, and I was very happy because Tommy could come. I knew i'd need him there for the expected bad news. Well- here we are doing the sonogram and guess what?! A wittle baby and a flicker. I noticed the baby before the tech even showed me. I knew what to look for and I was on the hunt. That flicker was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen! I got a little teary eyed even. Our little peanut was there the whole time, I was just 2 weeks behind what i thought. I am due December 13, and Im getting the christmas baby I wanted. After we had parker I told tommy I wanted the next one to be in december. What a special, joyous time! We are so excited to be a family of four. Now I can sit back, and breathe again. I worried the whole week for nothing- We have a healthy baby growing just Like I prayed for :)

Here we go...

Hi Yall :) okay so I've never done this blogging thing before, beside that website called Xanga 10 years ago, so im going to attempt it. I don't really know what to say for my first official post! I guess I just am so bored with Facebook, I'd like to try something new. I will be posting every couple of days just to update everyone on my life as a wife, mommy of a 11 month old, and pregnancy with #2. Im really excited to get this thing looking good. Thats what I enjoy about reading blogs from other mommies- pictures and the way they look so professional. Hopefully mine can be awesome soon ! Today Parker is 11 months old. *Sigh* I can't believe how fast my little baby has grown up. It really seems like I blinked and BAM he is almost a year old. Before you have a child people always make comments on how fast they grow up. When you experience it first hand, you realize how true it really is. Parker has changed so much and does new things everyday. Sometimes I just sit and watch him from afar, playing with his toys and talking to himself. I know he's really talking, I cant understand it yet but I can totally tell he is having a conversation. :) He's such a smart and spunky baby with the cutest little personality i've ever known. Im sad he's getting so big but im excited to see what new things he does in the future. His first birthday is 1 month from today and we just got his 1 years photosession back from the AMAZING photography and friend, Katie Cassidy.. (Check out her website. She is Awesome. Kcassidyphotography.com ) I'll be getting his invitations made soon and sending them out. If you'd like to come send me your address! We havent narrowed down the theme just yet, but Im excited to put it all together. Tommy and I are going to give him the best 1st birthday ever. He deserves the world. My first sono is tommorow! Im a little over 6 weeks pregnant, so It will just like a lil bean. But I am so pumped. A little bummed bc Tommy is in NY on a business trip and he never missed ANY prenatal appointments with Parker, but its okay. He wont miss any after this. Anyway, Thats all for now. Love, Kayla.
