update on me.
By April my body got back to normal. I had a normal cycle. Well I ended up getting pregnant again. Yay! 5.3 days today. Got a positive even before my missed period. My first hcg level was 30 two days later was 132. Weird thing was I kept getting weird cramps that would go from one side to the other. Mike thought for sure it was twins. This morning I woke up at 5 in a lot of pain. Through out the day pain was not going away. Called my obgyn to tell them and also ask about my blood work I got done yesterday. My hcg level was 7000, and they had me come in and have an ultrasound. During ultrasound we saw a sac and fetal pole line. I measured one day ahead. Then he looked on other side I had a cyst. The nurse who called me later said it was 3 cm. My doctor is not in his office tomorrow, so I will find out Thursday what the plan is. Until then I get to take it easy and take tylonal and use a heating pad. I love my body when it is pregnant.

missing book
Last week Abigail came home from school with no reading book. She told me they didn't give her one. As the week went on she never brought one home, she told me that her teacher said they were done with reading. Friday I went on a walk with my friend who also has a kindergartener she said they are still getting books. So I emailed her teacher. Found out that Abigail lost it, so she had to pay for it. But today she was to nervous to give her teacher the money, so I had to email her again and asked her if she could ask for it.

It has been a long time
It has been a long time since I last wrote. I just haven't been up to it or busy. I am just going to give an update on everyone.
Xavier is growing so much. He talks a lot more now too. It is so cute. He will yell, mommy mommy and when I say what he will say I love you and then smile really big. He likes to play our tablet and is really good at puzzles, he matches the pieces on the first try. We moved him into his own room, because he would get the girls up at night and then they would get him up in the morning. He really loves his cars and then chooses to carry them around in a purse or a pink shopping cart. He will also play princesses with his sisters. He has not liked nursery this year, I don't think it helps that we have 1:00 church, so I usually bring him home after we try nursery and have him scream for a bit. He loves going outside unless it gets windy or a little cold.
Brooklyn is still getting better at talking. She has learned to play computer by herself and will find kids games. I am looking into getting her into a preschool next year. I saw one yesterday and with a discount it was $90 a month, I was like no way am I paying that much a month. She has learned how to pedal a bike this year, I am hoping to try to get training wheels off. I am not going to push it though. She is loving being in sunbeams, she loves her teachers a lot and gives them hugs every time she see them. She still has a strange guy phobia, there are certain men she will see and she will just start crying.
Abigail is in her last two month of kindergarten. She is getting really good at reading. She has sight words that she knows most of them. Yesterday she brought some new ones home. One was the word but, she told me that it was a bad word. I had to tell her that there are words that sound the same but are spelt different. She is also getting good at math and stuff. It is so fun to see her learn. She loves riding her scooter around but not a bike. She fell last year and will not get back up now. She is a big helper and can usually tell what her siblings are saying.
Mike is good, he is just working full time at his job. He loves it still and I love the fact he has every other day off. He has 2 callings now and we hope he will be released as the choir director soon.
As for me, I have been struggling if I should write this. But I have been told I have a story. Might be tmi so stop reading if you want. Since my miscarriage my cycles have been screwed up. I thought I might have been pregnant again in March, but the feelings went away and I started to cramp and spot. I was taking progesterone at the time. So I called my doctor, they gave me an ultrasound and took my blood. They called and said the hcg level was a 3 so that meant negative. They told me to stop with the progesterone and just let my period came. Which it did on day 26 of that cycle. I had to go a week later for blood work, I was on cycle day 6 so when I didn't hear anything for a few days I thought all was well and the hcg levels went away. I got a call the following week saying that the hcg levels went to a 10 this was after my period. I was so confused. So I took a pregnancy test it came out positive, I even showed my friend to see if she could see it. They wanted me to come in that week for more blood work. I went in and I heard the next day it went up to a 44 which they didn't consider a pregnancy since it didn't go up enough. So I just had to take progesterone and come in the following week for blood work again. I went in last week and they called me the next day to say the levels started to drop and that I needed to stop with the progesterone and come for blood work until I got down to a zero. And I am not even aloud to try to get pregnant again until the doctor gives me a thumbs up to move on. Luckily this was Thursday and it was conference weekend, Because on cycle day 23 I got my period again. It has been a hard couple of months. I wish my body would just work. In May it will be a year since we first started to try. I am going to have a party to celebrate it in a way, probably eat my weight in chocolate. I sometimes have a hard time being around pregnant people, but only when they complain about it or tell me that my time will come. Not even going to write the worse thing that was said to me.
Sorry to vent everything else is good with me. This week I got some strawberries and made Jam with them I got 8 pounds for $5. not too shabby. I have been working out a lot and the past year have lost 20 pounds, and a few inches around the waist. I am grateful for the somewhat warmer weather and that I can go on walks again. We did get a second car so I always have a car, but if it is nice I still walk to places like the store and whatever. I am blessed with the three wonderful children I already have. Mike and I have found ways to save money like with our phones and cable. Over all things are good.

some day
Some day I will feel better. I had my miscarriage last week. Started Monday night, ended Friday. But I still had cramps, back pain and worst of all headaches and dizzyness. Thought I would be better after weekend or everything would start again.
Tuesday called my doctor told them what was going on. They did an ultrasound everything but some liquid was gone. They took my blood and we went home. Today I got a call and was told that I had an infection. So now I have to take medicine and hope it passes. I will go see the doctor in two weeks, to make sure all is good. Then we will try again.
I miss doing things like working out and cleaning. I tried to clean today and I got dizzy fast. My place is not as clean as I like it. But I am trying to do more.

Just a bump in the road
A couple of months ago when Xavier fell out the window. I had a feeling it was not time for him to be gone, but you will know the feeling of death soon. Even though I was only 5-6 weeks pregnant, I feel like I knew this little fetus even if it was just a short amount of time.
Being pregnant, I was surprised to find out I was pregnant. We have been trying for 7 months with no success. I cramped for two weeks before I found out I was pregnant. I only took a test to prove to my body I wasn't pregnant. Boy was I wrong.
The same day I found out, I also got really sick with what I thought was a bad cold. I was wrong it was influenza. After I started feeling better with that was when the cramps started.
The next week was a blur of blood draws, ultrasounds and taking it easy. The doctor even had me take progesterone that made me very sick. But Friday we knew it was not going to work out. I stopped taking the progesterone and just waited.
Saturday we celebrated Xavier's 2nd birthday. I tried to be happy, for our guests, but who knows how well I did. Sunday was full of cramps, but still no bleeding. Monday the doctor office called I told them still no bleeding so we set up a doctor appointment. Last night I started to bleed more with clots. Then it stopped. As I sat here today it started somewhat again today, so the doctor office told me not to come in because it is starting.
I am sad, but at peace about it. I know we will have another baby someday. It is just a bump in the road for us. Not all this month has been bad. Good things with Mike's work. Kids have been healthy. I have also got away with no cleaning so far this month. I just think this will just make me stronger like most things. I just need to take the time to heal. I know somedays will be harder than others. But the Lord is on my side and so is my husband.
