For Sale

We put our house on the market two years ago right after we got married. We left it on the market for a year and had no luck. We decided recently that we were going to try again to sell our house. Would you believe that we had it on the market for a week and a half and we have already gotten an offer?!?! We accepted the offer...so now we are just waiting to see if all the financing goes through. Hopefully we will be moving out of here in about a month or so! I can't believe that this is actually happening!

Jeremy believes that we are not supposed to have another baby in this house. Maybe he is right. I know that everything happens for a reason...so maybe this is the reasoning behind both miscarriages. I absolutely love our house and I am going to miss it terribly. It is our first house and it is the only house Kaden has ever known. It was a disaster when we bought it and we have done so much to it. It is going to be hard to leave...but it is also going to be exciting to move into a bigger house so that we have more room to expand our family. Hopefully I will post soon with a closing date. Wish us luck!

Lab Results

I got my results today from all the blood work I had done last Monday and Tuesday. Everything came back just fine. I am not sure of all the tests that my doc had me tested for...but my main concerns were with the thyroid and homo cysteine. I am relieved that everything came back normal...but at the same time I was kind of hoping that some level would be off just so that I could chalk up both miscarriages to that. I guess that my doc was right when she said that she feels that it was a fluke that I had two miscarriages back to back.

Hope everyone has a great weekend! Jeremy and I are home together all weekend with the little man. We went to see UP tonight in 3-D. It was awesome! We have a few other fun things planned too! It doesn't happen very often that Jeremy isn't working a Saturday, so we are taking full advantage of him being home for three full days! :o)

Happy Anniversary Jeremy!

I cannot believe that we have already been married for two years! At times it feels like we have been together forever. I guess that it has been since we were 18. Time sure does fly! I just wanted to let you know that I cannot imagine where I would be without you. You are the best husband and father that I could have ever wished for. I just love that Kaden and I come before anything else in your life. You always consider Kaden and I in every decision that you make...even the small decisions. I just can't wait to have more children with you! Hopefully our time will be soon! Sorry that this is one day late...but I think that you know how crazy our week has been...and it is only Tuesday. I figured that it is better late than never.

Happy Anniversary, Baby!

I love you!

Party, Party!

Today was a very busy day! We started off the day by going to my niece's 5th birthday party. It was a lot of fun! It was such a beautiful day to have a party outside. We had to leave her party early in order to get to my cousin's graduation party. When we pulled up Kaden was asleep...but he was soon awake looking at a huge inflatable jungle gym. He spent the entire time we were there on this thing. I even talked him into racing me. He didn't want to at first...but once we did it one time he wanted to keep racing me. Here are some pics from our fun day!

Hanah, Grace and Kaden
Happy Birthday to Hanah!

Here we are! We had so much fun!

I almost beat him this time. Oh well.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Doctor's Appointment

So today was the day to get all of my questions answered. I felt pretty good walking out of there. I did go to the lab right away and have a ton of blood work done too. My doc didn't feel that it was completely necessary...but I think that she knew that it would make me feel better.

I did ask her a few things about the first miscarriage. I have always wondered if anything looked out of the norm when I had my ultrasound done at MFM at 7 weeks. She checked my chart and everything looked great then. The heartbeat was 128 and I was measuring right on target. Who knows what happened between that day and my 11 week visit which is the day I had my D&C.

She really thinks that it was a fluke that I have had these miscarriages. She really feels that all my blood tests will come back just fine. Obviously I got pregnant with Kaden when all odds were against him...and he was one big and healthy boy. She kept telling me that I will have another Kaden. I sure hope that she is right. Now I will just have to be patient. That is the hard part...

Update

Just wanted to let you all know that I heard from my doctor's nurse today and I set up an appointment for Monday to talk about things. I am going to do some research and come up with a list of questions for my doc. I have to get my beta taken on Monday as well. Hopefully my levels will be less than 5 by then. I have tomorrow off...and I can't wait to have a day to relax. Kaden and I don't have anything planned...but I am sure that we will find something fun to do. Hope you all have a great day! :o)

Not pregnant

I got the results of my blood work and my levels dropped to 7. I was super upset at first...but as of this moment I am feeling okay. I kind of knew that this was the news I was going to get today...but to actually have it confirmed was hard to hear. I just don't know where to go from here. My doc wasn't in today...so she is supposed to call me tomorrow. I have some questions for her. I feel like there must be something else wrong with my body besides Factor V Lieden and MTHFR. I just don't understand how I got pregnant with Kaden while on birth control and taking only a prenatal vitamin for half of the pregnancy. I never saw a doctor until I was between 16 and 20 weeks. I would only see a nurse. Once I switched doctors I was put on the Lovenox and Foltx. I am now taking the prenatal, a baby aspirin, and Foltx. I am doing everything in my power trying to get pregnant and have a healthy baby...but it isn't working out. I have no problem getting pregnant...staying pregnant is the problem. Hopefully tomorrow I will have some answers.
