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 :)
