Gosh, I didn't realize it has been 2mths since I have blogged! 2 mths! Really!! So many things have happened & I have not shared with my friends...
Our little miracle :)
April 27th. The day that changed my life in many ways. Grant & I had left Jacksonville on cloud 9..Pregnant..it worked..Pregnant & due Dec. My mind could not fathom that the 3rd ivf attempt worked. Grant & I were both in shock for a few weeks. By that afternoon though, our happiness would turn to tears & shock. Tuscaloosa Tornado. I am an avid weather center watcher :)...I swear I should have been a storm chaser :)...I was watching the weather & all the storms, listening to them talk about the path. I called Jeremy & told him what the news had said & he was headed to work..this was about 2pm. By 4pm they were showing the direct path the tornado was going to hit-Tuscaloosa. I called Jeremy & he said nothing had happened yet. Around 530ish..I called Rachel & she was crying & saying she was in the zeta basement...I called Jeremy as the tornado was hitting Tuscaloosa & he was screaming that they had just been hit, destroyed was his words. I am flipping out by this time. The news is saying it hit McFarland ave which is only 1block in front of his apt. He sends me a text "my house is gone". Dear God, all I could do was pray for his roommates & Remi. I couldn't even think. All I kept thinking was, this day started out so great & now it's turned tragic. Watching the news, looking @ the photos, talking to Jeremy & his friends, we started to find out how horrific the damage really was. 2 days later Grant & I would see first hand how horrible it really was. I can't describe the images. War zone maybe? The trees were bare, stripped, metal was wrapped around trees, houses gone, only steps leading to some houses stood, car windows blown out with mud, sheet-rock & debris covered them. Grant & I just cried. How blessed we were to be standing there with my brother & his friends & they were unharmed. I call this a new Beginning.
A New Beginning has started for Goose & I also. In 6mth we will have a baby goose. For so long, I never thought I would ever get to experience this. Going through IVF, you begin to realize that you are a case #, another ivf project & only 20% of the time it works. Going into my first blood test to see if we were preggers I cried the whole way...I just knew that it didn't work & I was already setting myself up for the disappointment. Boy was I wrong. I have had the joy of being sick everyday since the 5wk mark. Everyday! I complain, but I know that we paid big $$ for this sickness..lol & it's a blessing to be able to experience this. It's still hard for me to realize I am preggers. I honestly, never thought I would be a momma...But here we are..about to experience a New Beginning :)..& I can't wait!
