My History

A little bit of background...
In January of 2004 I became very ill and was rushed to the Dr. I had horrible cramping and it felt as if someone was stabbing ever inch of my body. (not normal) After going to a neurologist we find out that I was bleeding internally. I had a cyst that had ruptured in my ovaries and within minutes I was at Trinity Medical waiting to go into surgery. My entire family was there and tears were rolling down their faces when they wheeled me off to surgery. I couldn't figure out why everyone was so upset but the pain had been so bad that I just wanted it fixed, I didn't care what was going on around me and I barely comprehended what the 5 Dr.'s around me were saying. Once I got out everyone was waiting for me and I couldn't do much but talk about the pink elephants in the room.(morphine rocks) Later that night I received 3 blood transfusions and stayed in the hospital for another week and in bed for another 6 weeks. Once I was semi healed my family started telling me bits and pieces of what had happened. Before surgery the Dr. 's told my family that they might have to do a total hysterectomy if they had been too damaged. (that obviously didn't happen) The last thing that was said was she may never have children, her chances are less than 1%. So, imagine my surprise two weeks ago! I am blessed and we (both families) are very excited to bring a little baby Renner into the world.

So, those of you that may read my baby blog that don't know me very well should now understand the signifigance of this surprise. It means the world to me and everyone around me. We weren't trying for a baby but now that we have one we're SUPER excited. (Renner freaks out about stupid stuff, but...he'll come around)

First Baby Picture

9 weeks 2 days (DR.)

10 weeks 5 days (my intuition :)

OK...Here's the first baby picture! I have decided to pick the due date that suits me because the due date that the Dr. gave me puts me at conceiving the baby while I was in Mexico. (not possible) All of Renner's family has boys and of course all of mine has girls so we have a bunch of different opinions on what I'm going to have. Either way we will be happy just as long as the baby is healthy. We have already picked names but we wont share those until we find out the sex. I picked the name for a girl and Renner picked for the boy. While we were at the Dr. she made it very clear to me that I am NOT eating for 2 and the only thing that will be different is my calorie intake! Not what I wanted to hear but it's the truth and I don't want to make it harder on myself to lose weight after the baby is born. My next appointment is May 31st and hopefully with the baby's cooperation we will be able to find out the sex! We are incredibly excited and I'll do my best to keep updating this little baby blog! Oh, we also have the heartbeat recorded...I just have to wait to post it until Renner figures out how to send it. Also, We're going to start a pool for the due date...we think it's going to make the next seven months a little more interesting.
