I believe God can give Miracles

WOW - what a whirlwind of a day!!! Never before did I think I would say these words "I AM PREGNANT!" Well, it's true!! Yep, you heard right!!!

After 6 rounds of clomid, one round of IVF, countless heartbreaking & crying days and $23,000 spent trying to have a baby - WE ARE GOING TO BE PARENTS!!!!




Let me give you a rundown of the past few days. My family came in town this weekend.

Friday - I got off work and drove out to Mt. Juliet to pick my sister up at the campground while the guys & Bailee stayed to camp out.

Saturday - Jena and I got up and hit some garage sales and drive out to Franklin. We met Cat and Amy and hit a few more garage sales. We then went to the boat dock and ate lunch and the guys met up with us too. We hung out for a while and fed the ducks with the kiddos. We then headed back to my house where Momma Judee was cooking up a storm. We all ate and hung out for a while here until bed time. I felt a little nauseous and my boobs hurt - but I thought I was a little sick from pushing myself from running sprints early that morning.

Sunday - The girls and Cody lounged around and we went to the mall at 12 to meet up with Cat, Reed, Carlyn, Amy & Emma. We went to Build-A-Bear and ate lunch and walked around the mall and shopped a little. ;) Then everyone came to stay the night with us. There were 7 people plus myself and Cody that stayed the night. It was a great night with friends and family!!

Monday - I slept in a little and Cody and I ran to the grocery and ate lunch. I came home and cleaned the bathrooms, did laundry, vacuumed and moped the floors and worked out twice. I then went to nanny that night.

Tuesday - THE MOST AWESOME DAY OF MY LIFE!!!!

I woke up and laid in bed. I felt awful. I felt SO nauseous. I woke up and went to take a shower and kept dry heaving. Weird I thought. So, I went to make myself breakfast and yuck - nothing sounded good. I felt so sick. I brushed my teeth and heaved again. I then decided to make my lunch and attempt breakfast again - nope not a success. Heaved in the kitchen sink. UGH, I felt bad for taking off Monday to decompress after the long weekend - so I left for work. I remembered I hadn't had a period in a while (which is not unusual since mine are always funky) But, for some reason I grabbed a pregnancy test on my way out the door just in case. I drank a Sprite at work and felt a little better. I talked to a co-worker who said a stomach bug was going around so I was like "great, I have a bug!"

I called the doctor for some phenegran and he told me to take a pregnancy test and call him back. I went to potty about 11 and took the test with me to do it. I walked back in my office sat it down got busy and looked at it a few minutes later. TWO PINK LINES. Can you believe it?!?! I couldn't I jumped up slammed my office door and tried to breathe. I was freaking out. I was shaking, couldn't breathe and didn't know what to do. I picked up the phone and called Cody. By the grace of God he answered - he NEVER answers I was panting and panting. He kept asking if I was in a wreck. I kept saying "No, no, no" still trying to breathe. I finally summonsed enough air to scream "I THINK I'm pregnant" He was like "What? What? Why?" I told him I took a test and we both got silent. He said "Well?" I mustered enough air to say "TWO PINK LINES, PREGNANT" I kept saying "I'm freaking out, is this real??" We both kept saying over and over "What do we do, who do we call??"

So, we hung up elated and I called my OBGYN - Anne who I love and trust and who has been there every tear of the way for 2 1/2 years - only to find out she was out of the country for 2 weeks. The receptionist told me to come in right away. I grabbed my purse, snuck out the back door and went to the car. I super stalked Cody like 17 times and he finally answered and was rushing out the door to come my way. It felt like THE LONGEST DRIVE EVER!!! When I got there they took me right back and I gave a urine sample. The nurse told me to walk around- she looked up and said "Yep, you're pregnant for sure - no need for a blood test" From then on I was totally glazed over with a perma-grin!! I was so happy I cried and screamed (lterally!). They stuck me in a room to examine me and then Cody arrived. He walked in and all I did was shook my head yes and teared up and we hugged and cried. That was the most awesome moment ever. Two and half years culminated to this - a baby. The exam went well, next was blood work and then an ultrasound. Everything looked great and there was a heartbeat that was strong.

The fill-in doctor Sally called and said that there was a strong heartbeat (105) and she was over the hills happy for us! She said they were going to treat me as a high risk patient given my fertility history & family history of miscarriages. She told me not to worry it was an extreme precaution but this is precious cargo we needed to pamper. Sally also said - no working out for me, eat as healthy as possible (but eat what I want) and really take it easy until I am completely out of the woods.




So, we are 6 weeks pregnant today May 17, 2011 and Baby Cojac is due January 10, 2012!!! I could not be more excited. I want to shout it from the rooftops!!

Here is a quote perfectly fitting that I saw on a friends Facebook post today:

GOD GIVES MIRACLES TO THOSE WHO BELIEVE, COURAGE TO THOSE WITH FAITH, HOPE TO THOSE WHO DREAM, LOVE TO THOSE WHO ACCEPT & FORGIVENESS TO THOSE WHO ASK.....
