Here are the babies at 6wks 3days

Ya, I know, no one know what they are looking at and really you can hardly see the babies themselves. The baby on the right is towards the top of the black area and is the little speck.
We are aving another ultrasound next Tuesday to make sure everything still looks good. They are measuring perfectly for their age and the heartbeats were 115 and 125 so that is good for how early in the pregnancy it is. We are lucky to even hear the heartbeats!! We feel so blessed and thanks to everyone for your prayers for getting us this far, just keep praying!

Well if you look to the right, you will see the wonderful news that we have!! We have know we were pregnant for 3 weeks or so now, but today was our first ultrasound and the doctor said "how do you feel about twins!!!" We feel so blessed and overjoyed!!!! We knew that multiples were possible and twins were always ok!! We are just extatic!!! We are due Sept 19 and the babies looked wonderful. They are measuring perfect and we got to hear the heartbeats as well. One was 115 and the other 125. They are low but that is normal for this early on!! Praise God!!!! Ultrasound pictures to come!

We are still here!! I will be posting something next week so tune in then!!! TTFN

Well Ryan and I had a good Christmas this year. I had to work Christmas eve night which was not very fun. I was up by 11am getting ready for dinner by 4. Not much sleep! Ryan got me a beautiful Sapphire and diamond ring. I found it a couple months ago but it was expensive so I wanted to hold off on it, but Ryan surprised me! I wanted sapphires because that was my mom's birth stone and thought it was a great memorial to her! Here is a pic:

Right now it is getting sized so I don't get to wear it quite yet.

Anyway, I started my new job yesterday and I LOVE IT!!! It is very different than the hospital, but everyone is nice, the patients are nice. Its just awesome! I have 3 more nights (maybe) at the hospital and I'm done with that! I think I may be feeling sick on Friday and Saturday!! haha

Tomorrow, we are having a little New Years party here with my BFF, her husband, her brother, and his fiance. It should be fun watching everyone else drink. I don't get to but thats ok! I would rather err on the cautious side in case I have some "goats" (long story) in there!! haha

Well Happy New Year to all!

PRAISE GOD!

Well, one of my prayers has been answered!! I got an awesome new job! I am getting out of the hospital and will be working in an endoscopy center starting 12/29! The hours and the people are wonderful! I will be working Monday-Friday 6am-2:30pm. No weekends or holidays. This has been a prayer of mine for a long time.
I have been so stressed at work and all the changes that were happening. The stress was affecting Ryan and I a great deal; we were starting to fight alot, and I think it also affected my ability to get pregnant (though it hasn't happened yet, I think we are close). I can't take my medication at a specific time everyday because the time I went to bed varied so much. Though I have 3 weeks of my other job left, I think I can deal with that.
In a way, I am scared to leave the hospital. It is all I have ever known as a nurse and I will really really miss the people I work with. I am the awesome nurse I am today because of some of those people. Well that is all for now. Not much new with Ryan. He still loves his job and what he does everyday! He is an inspiration to me.....not to mention my rock too! Thanks baby! Love you!

Well I went back to the doctor's office today for my post-op appointment. I do in fact have endometriosis. Dr. M says it is Stage 2, but could almost be stage 3 since he removed a huge cyst from my ovary. Ryan and I got to see the pictures and they were kinda cool! There were 2 large spots of endo on my uterus and somewhere else (I forget already) and the endometrial cyst on the ovary. It looked like a plum, same color and all. Yucky! Glad he got it all off. Now my insides are nice and pink like they are supposed to be! YAY! Well except for the polycyctic ovaries (in which the cysts are on the inside of the ovaries).
So now with the next cycle, we are moving on to injectables with IUI. Though the meds are like $800 a month, we already have most of the meds since we bought them last year. So just pray that we only have to do one month to get our most precious and wanted gift!!! Dr. M seems to think this is the best road and we agree. He is a wonderful and the most personable doctor ever!!! (And I know lots of doctors!!)
Well that is about all going on for now! We are just getting ready for Christmas. Cards are mailed and all presents so far are wrapped so I just wanna bake some more cookies. We are unsure of what we are doing for Christmas Eve/Day since I have to work Christmas eve night, but even if we stay home, we will have each other!!! TTFN

Ok I am not sure anyone reads this blog or not since no one comments but I guess I will keep blogging in case there is a poor soul who does read it....
So obviously I made it through surgery, though it feels like I barely did. I wasn't really even nervous Wednesday morning, I just wanted to get it over with. Of course my doctor was late getting to the hospital, so instead of going at 1, I went at 1:30. 30 min may not seem like a long time, it is when all you want is a drink of water! I get all checked in and ready. A girl from anesthesia comes in to start my IV. Of course she starts in my hand which I know she won't get but whatever. So the second try I tell her where to go. She numbs me this time and gets it without a problem. Then I am taken on a long journey to the OR. I was laying in the operating room getting all hooked up for surgery just waiting and the CRNA kept asking if I wanted something to help me relax and I kept saying I don't care because I wasn't all that nervous but finally I gave in and he gave me some good sleepy juice. Dr. Mooney then came in and made some remark about me not having alot to say but I really didn't care at the time cuz I was in lala land by that time!! Anyway, the next thing I remember is being in the recovery room feeling claustrophobic due to the mask they put on my face. grrrr. Warning TMI! Then I tell the nurse I feel like I have to pee or have a BM so she puts me on the bedpan (ewww) and I can't go and she tells me "I already emptied your bladder" (she straight cathed me and more on that later). So then I proceed to ask her what they found (all while on the very comfortable bedpan bt I didn't care because I was still half asleep) and I in fact have endometriosis, which they lasered away. I also had a cyst on my right ovary which they removed and cleaned out my uterus (I forget the technical term she said since I was so tired). By this time, I am having a ton of pain and pressure in my abdomen and up into my right shoulder. The nurse gives me a dose of fentanyl, which does nothing at all for me. She gives me 2 more doses and still it doesn't help so I just deal with the pain by now. She then tells me that I haven't been looking good and has been giving me some fluids through my IV. Anyway, I am off the bedpan by now and then she tells me I am going to have to get up into a chair. hahahaha But I do it anyway because I wanna go home and go to bed. I get taken to stage 2 recovery and I get ice water!!! yay! I also get a percocet for the pain (I don't recommend these, I about puked on the way home). The nurse (who is a male) states he needs to see my incisions and check my "vaginal bleeding" so I let him (eww). Apparently everything is ok. Then Ryan, Dad, Marty and Stacy are brought back to see me. I sit there for a while then get up to pee and then get dressed and go home!!
Overall the surgery went well. My belly was really bloated from the gas they put in my stomach (so it was easier to look around). I also have severe shoulder pain (and still do) from the gas. (long explanation needed, we will just say it is normal) I got 2 tiny incisions, one in my belly button and one on my lower right abdomen, that hurt more than you would think. I must admit that I am a big wimp though and i don't deal with pain well. It is a known fact that nurses make the worse patients!!
I also must say that I have the most wonderfu husband ever!! Ryan is taking such good care of me and is doing everything for me, though today I am on my own because he had to go back to work today. I was given specific instructions not to do anything. I really can't do anything anyway because the minute I take the heating pad from my shoulder, I get shooting nerve pains down my arm and it goes numb (all normal). So I am being lazy again!! Oh and yesterday we went to my dad's and Marty's house for dinner so I didn't have to worry about cooking. I really wasn't in the mood to eat and if I ate too much my belly would just get bloated and it would hurt even more so basically I ate a little and then took a nap and then ate dessert and came home and went to bed!! So exciting! Anyway, hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgivng!! I go back to see the doctor in 2 weeks and we will determine what to do from there!
