We are expecting a baby, due June 10th!  I can’t even believe it, really.  We are so excited!  I really feel like it’s a miracle.   I have about 3 months to catch up on here, and since I backdate my posts so they are in the right month, this post will probably be the first post you see for a long time.  :)  Sorry about that! We had done some testing in August, and I had made an appointment to meet with a fertility specialist.  I ordered 50 ovulation tests online.  On September 20th, I met with the nicest doctor, Dr. Hatasaka, for an hour and we made all the arrangements for testing to be done once the timing in my cycle was right (sorry, a little tmi). While there, Dr. Hatasaka told me he thought a few things were the problem and we’d do two tests to see if we could figure something out.  He thought it was a combination of a couple things, and suspected the problem had been present while we were trying to have Bailey.  I was actually really excited to see what the results would be and get some answers.  I joked with the doctor and said, “So, wouldn’t that be crazy if I was pregnant and didn’t need to do the tests?”  And he laughed and said it wouldn’t be the first time that has happened. I was just waiting to make the appointments for the remaining tests at the time the doctor instructed.  But, as I usually do, I took a pregnancy test a few days later, and it was positive.  I had a false positive a couple months prior and was really trying not to get my hopes up too much, but I still showed Dillon and hugged him and cried, saying how amazing it would be.  He was excited but also wary and wanted to make sure, so I tested the next day and we got another positive! I’ve been pretty darn sick, but I will take it!  Hopefully everything will work out.  I am 12 weeks.  I know that I’ve been just as excited with my other pregnancies, and I know I was very thankful for them, but I don’t think I was quite as thankful as this time.  Waiting longer for something you want when you expect it will happen on your own timing makes things seem that much more amazing. I love you all (those who even stop by anymore and those who don’t, too) and hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!
