BIG NEWS!!!! I took a home pregnancy test today, with the results being positive!!!! Can you believe it? We are absolutely over the Moon. We both starting to cry. As most of you know back in October of 2009 unbeknown to us, I was pregnant and had a miscarriage. However, I just thought it was "my time of the month" but it was lasting for 3 weeks and the cramps were so painful I could barely walk. So after a visit with our Dr. he immediately sent me to the ER. The prepped me for surgery thinking I had an ectopic pregnancy and that they were worried I would not make it if I didn't have surgery. As I was about to be wheeled in to surgery another Doctor had just gotten done looking at my scans stopped the whole process. She truly believed that I was going to be okay without surgery so they had me stay overnight and then released me the next day. Over the next few weeks my body corrected itself without the need for surgery. I am so thankful for that. We then went on with our normal lives and then BAM here we are. God has decided to give us another opportunity to become parents.
Last night after the test I ran to Target to set up my plans for Moussa. When he got home he opened a gift that was a baby outfit that said "My Dad is my Hero" along with the test itself.
We immediately started calling our parents to the sounds of pure joy and excitement. Naturally, we are in the stage of being extra careful. Everything about my symptoms seem to be right on track...even this killer heartburn. I plan on keeping everyone posted as to the progression.
