About 4 1/2 weeks ago I woke Tyson up at 3:30 in the morning with some SHOCKING news. For the past week I had been feeling kind of WEIRD. I couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. One of the weird things was that I was STARVING all of the time. Well, I woke up at 3:30 a.m. on September 25th. I had to go to the bathroom SO BAD! I happened to have a pregnancy test under the sink from who knows how long ago! I thought "I'm just going to take this test so I can cross that off the list of what might be wrong with me." It's not supposed to be possible for us to get pregnant. We are BOTH broken. Well, to my surprise, the test was POSITIVE! HOLY COW!! I started laughing and crying all at the same time. I went into our bedroom and said "Tyson I'm PREGNANT!" He was pretty confused at first, but then he realized what I was saying. He started laughing too!
I called the doctors office the day after we found out. They wanted to see me that day. So, we drove up to Logan. (Yes, my doctor is in Logan. He is AMAZING! We just love him so much. He helped us with all our infertility stuff. He is just so great we couldn't change doctors.) I have this thing called Leiden Factor V. It is basically that during pregnancy I would get blood clots so the baby wouldn't get enough blood and it would die. They did an ultrasound to find a heartbeat so they could start me on heparin shots. I give myself a heparin shot twice a day. It was REALLY hard at first. I am TERRIFIED of needles. The first time I did it, I was HYSTERICAL! I had to have Tyson give me a blessing. In the BLESSING he said that Heavenly Father knew how hard this was for me and that He would help me. He really has helped me! It still hurts and it still bruises my stomach, but I'm not afraid of doing it anymore. I just shoot up and deal with it. Ü Something kind of funny, for you TWILIGHT fans. When my friend, Jessica, saw my bruised stomach she said "Oh, Jenny's having a vampire!" Ü
We had another doctors appointment yesterday. It went well. The BABY is doing great! We are 10 WEEKS along. Our due date is May 20, 2009. It's still a little while away, but that's a good thing. Blaine doesn't like it when Mommy holds other babies. So, we are trying to get him used to that. The baby is due about 3 weeks before Blaine turns 2. If you have any ADVICE about getting Blaine ready for his brother or sister PLEASE let us know! Ü
