Sorry I've been MIA!

I feel like I haven't posted in forever... Which is pretty close to the truth. For some reason I thought I would "jinx" myself. I refuse to believe in the humbo jumbo anymore.

We are pregnant!

About 16 weeks actually!


It's amazing to have gotten this far and see my little poppy grow and grow! We have an appointment on Monday to do my first glucose tolerance tests and we are doing a gender scan!! It's all so surreal, it's hard to believe its real!

The past year was one of the hardest--- scratch that---- it was the hardest time I've ever had. After coming of the "suspected partial molar" experience and subsequent d&c in April, we booked our miscarriage cruise! I highly suggested a beautiful relaxing vacation after a loss. It allows you to disappear for a week to gather your thoughts and lets you grieve on your own (with your partner).

We were told to wait 6 months, but while on our cruise we felt our "calling" was to do foster care. When we got home we hit the ground running. We were 3 weeks from being licensed when I needed to take provera to start my cycle after the d&c. I took a precautionary HPT and got those two lines. I was so SAD. I was kicking myself for not following my hcg to zero. I had followed it to under 100 but went on vacation and just forgot. My veins were so shot after all this, it was a needed break. After a few hectic weeks... We confirmed we have a sticky bean! Thank you, God! What a pleasant surprise!!!!
