Playing Catch-up

Ok, I haven't posted anything interesting in two months. So shoot me. We have been very busy and I am going to do a bunch of posts today, hopefully.

First things first, I am PREGNANT!! Yes, you heard right. As of yesterday he was a pound and a half approx. and growing according to schedule....And I had my glucose test and am OVERJOYED to report that it turned out normal!! No Gestational Diabetes this time... WAHOO!!

How we got him in there you ask?? Well during Christmas time we were taking a break from Chlomid because of problems with ovarian cysts and I was supposed to resume taking it in January.... Long story short, I was giving up and needed a break from hard core baby-making so I decided to sign up for school instead. Kacey wanted to try for three more months and then take a break, so I decided to do that. But my doctor had mentioned a new drug called FEMARA that she had some success with at her office, so I researched it like crazy online and decided I wanted to try it.... Yes, it was the one that costs 90-some odd dollars. I didn't really feel like it worked, no side effects or pain on one side, etc... So the next month rolled around and I took a pregnancy test and of course it was negative so I went through the motions of calling to get Provera (which makes you start your period, if you AREN't pregnant) and proceeded to get my next month of Femara ordered and filled. Waited a week, still negative pregnancy test and no period. This was around the time of the incident in a previous post..... Waited another week still no period. Woke up on a Monday morning, day 49 of my cycle, and took my routine Monday pregnancy test. And it was positive.... And I almost had a heart-attack!! I didn't know what to think so I immediately called Kacey and told him. Even after I went to the doctor I was still freaked out and couldn't believe it was really true that I was pregnant, and we didn't feel absolutely comfortable with it until I was 16 weeks pregnant. So we didn't tell anyone until then....... The fam had mixed reactions to the news and mostly because we waited so long, but I think they are okay now.......

Kacey has been working ALOT lately and I have mixed feelings about it... Obviously we need the money, but I am getting to the point in my pregnancy that I get tired really easily and over-do things often and pay for it the next day......

I started college for the first time back in May and next week is my final!! I can't believe the semester is already over! I only took 2 classes(7 credits) because I wanted to get a feel for what it would be like and see if I could handle it..I actually really enjoyed it! I am planning on going into nursing in the distant future.... It is going to take me a while. And that plan is for me to resume classes spring semester after the baby is born.......

I am going to do several more posts with pictures of what we have been up to this summer, so stay tuned..........
