Big Shocker...

OK so I tried to wait longer to make sure everything is ok, but I can't do it. It was very VERY very surprising, but I just found out for sure I am PREGNANT!!!! It was for sure NOT planned. I freaked out at first because I am not done with Faith being my baby (she will be 21 months when the baby arrives), but it is growing on me and I am getting excited. I am a little worried about this pregnancy because I had NO symptoms at first which was different than with Faith, but I know they are all different. I am beginning to have the sick stomach feelings, I just hope (like with Faith) I don't actually get sick.

OK so here is the story... I took a pregnancy test the Wed. before Thanksgiving (which some of you knew) and there was a very light line. I went to the doctor the same day because I was sick and didn't want to go through Thanksgiving being sick. I told the doc. I might be pregnant so she tested me. She said I wasn't and gave me a shot (which kind of worries me too because I shouldn't have had it if I was pregnant). So I don't know if the doc. was wrong or what. Then about a month later still no period, so I took a different type pregnancy test and the plus showed up. SO Stacy and I decided, without insurance, I would take advantage of the pregnancy clinics free test (more accurate). Well it was positive as well, so they said I would have had to been pregnant when I was at the doc. because it would not have shown up otherwise. So don't know what happened there, but they aren't sure how far I am. They are guessing I will be due July 23ish, but will know better after my first ultra sound which is Jan. 7th. SOOOO I guess I will let you know more then. I am trying to stay positive and not worry. I think the worry is just because I am still shocked. It took us years to get pregnant with Faith, so it was a surprise!!! Anyway, please add this exciting news to your prayer list, THANKS!!

Faith's still sick.

Just a short update on the sickness issue. We have been to the doctor more lately than I think we have since she was born. She still has a double ear infection. It has lasted through 3 ten day antibiotics and has gone on for close to a month. All I can say is poor little girl!!! She is now going through a round of shots and another medicine that is for a resistant bacteria. Some of you will know more about this than me, but basically my doc. dumbed it down to say something in her body isn't letting the meds. work, so we are going after that "thing" (the bacteria he thinks). If any of you had tubes when you were young you prob. went through all this. I didn't so it is all new to me. The meds. she is on is hard core though. It is very rough on the stomach and she hasn't been eating well since she got sick a month ago. Our once chunky little girl has lost over a pound in a month. Doctors do NOT like that much and neither do I. This medicine is probably going to make her loose more weight they say, so we will see. I know this is no where near the worst thing a child has gone through, but it is so hard to watch your little baby scream through shots, scream through doctors visits (we have been everyday this week) and scream through taking MORE meds. She took her meds. so good the first 2 rounds and now she screams as soon as she sees it coming. I breaks my heart. Anyway, the next step is to go to an ENT specialist, so we hope this will work and we will not have to do the tube thing, but we will see. Please keep Faith in your prayers. Thanks!!
