Surprise!!!!

I’ve been a bad blogger. But, I have a really good reason why....

I am............

And yes I did take that many tests!!

Surprise! Were pregnant! 8 weeks and 3 day. I really wanted to wait till I was 12 weeks to share my good news, but it just couldn’t wait! I want to document everything! I am a very high risk patient so my hubby and I decided to share the good news. A few more prayers cant hurt right?

I am going to explain my high-risk situation. In 2007 I was going to the mall with my best friend Lauren, all of the sudden out of no where my chest started hurting and I wasn’t feeling good. Lauren, suggested that she take me to the ER and I told her “ No, No just take me home. I’ll be ok.” She turned her car around and headed for home. Well we didn’t make it home. We made it to the hospital, thank god. By the time we got there I thought I was having a heart attack! My chest hurt, and I couldn’t breathe. (very scary for a 24 year old to be going through). The lady at the check in desk told Lauren to have me sit down and they would call me back. I managed my stagger my way to the chair and I really must not of looked good. Lauren took one look at me, got up and started yelling at the lady behind the desk. She needs to be seen NOW!!!! How are you going to let a person that cant breathe and their chest hurts just sit in the waiting room? I thank God everyday for my BFF that stood her ground and they let me back into the back. As soon as I got to the back they started asking me 100 questions and I don’t remember half of what happened. My mom and dad both showed up. We were waiting for the ER doctor to tell us what was wrong and he said “You have a blood clot!”. Ummm What?? Excuse me?? How do you get one of those.?? I had a blood clot (from my evil birth control). I was hospitalized for 9 days. This was a very hard and long 9 days. During this stay I was introduce to Lovenox ( an injectable blood thinner).

I was told as soon as I get pregnant I will have to be put on Lovenox (a blood thinner in a shot form). Lovenox is one of the two blood thinners that are safe for children. It is given in your stomach once a day. The needle isn’t the bad part of Lovenox, it’s the medication- it hurts! They only way I can explain to others is that is feel like someone who is wearing high heels kicks you in your stomach and keeps doing it for about 30 minutes!

So, this is why I am high risk. My body makes blood clots. So, even after 12 weeks I am still going to be high risk. I want to share my story , so we can have as many people praying as possible.


These past 3 weeks have been brutal. I have no had morning sickness, Ive had all day sickness. I am so very thankful I had Spring Break last week. It really gave me some time to try and relax. The morning ( I mean all day sickness ) has not gone away but Zyfron has really helped ease the feeling of throwing up!

My husband and mom have been so great through all of this. They are the ones who have to give me my daily dose of torture as I call it!

So, now that the good news it out. Start praying. Well need all the prayers we can get!!

Here is a picture of me at 8 weeks. My bellys getting bigger!
