Miss Saigon

For my birthday my Mom bought me tickets to go see Miss Saigon at Pioneer Theater Company. Justin and I went on Monday to see the show. It was AMAZING! I was introduced to the music at 15 and have loved it since. It was so awesome to finally see the show. We had a great time!

Thanks Mom!

Blanket

Every year at the girls school each classroom fills a basket with different items that go with a theme. Then they auction them off to earn money for the school. The theme for Eadie's class' basket is "baby", so Justin suggested that we each crochet something to put in the basket. He said he would make a hat and I could make mittens. I decided I didn't want to make mittens because they would be so small they would be hard. I decided that I would make a blanket. I have been working my butt off all week since it had to be turned in by Friday and I only started it on Sunday.

My Dad taught me how to crochet when I was 14 but then I didn't do it for about 17 years. At the end of last year I retaught myself how to do it and have made many many things since then. This is the first blanket I have finished. I am very proud of myself and thought it turned out great so I wanted to post it.

After making this it has given me a greater appreciation for my sweet sister-in-law who made me a blanket a few years ago for Christmas. Thanks for all the time you put into my gift Angelic!

By the way honey, how's the hat coming?

"Baby in the sea" makes you want to shake your booty

Yesterday we cleaned out our basement. We found a box full of CD's that Justin decided to go through. While the kids were getting ready for bed they starting looking through the box. Orin found Nirvana's album nevermind and started calling it "baby in the sea". He took it into his room and turned it on. Alton was just standing there calmly holding his blanket and sucking his thumb (I think I cursed us in my last post. He has been walking around sucking his thumb lately). As soon as the music began he started dancing around like a crazy person. I have never seen him dance with such exuberance before. It was so funny. The kids were all dancing around and laughing and having a great time. It was fun to watch.

Ever since last night Orin keeps asking to listen to "baby in the sea". It makes me smile.

He takes after Mommy!

This is something we rarely see since he only does it when he's going to sleep or asleep. I love it when babies suck their thumbs, it's so cute!

Just like his Daddy

People can make some serious mistakes!

I don't even know where to start with this post.

When the doctor called yesterday with the results he said that my HCG level was zero. He said that I had an ectopic pregnancy that my body had reabsorbed. He also said that I needed to do something so this didn't happen again. (Like a partial hysterectomy).

This morning when I got up I still felt really horrible. I was in a lot of pain. I decided that I better get back in to see the doctor. He wasn't in today. So Justin called one of my old OB's. She wasn't in today. So I called another one of my old OB's. He wasn't in today. (Apparently it's a rule that they don't work on Friday) Luckily the doctor who delivered Alton was in today. So I got an appointment with him.

He did another ultrasound and said that things looked good. There were no ruptured tubes and he couldn't see anything that was seriously out of wack. He wanted to check my HCG level as well. He said he would call with the results and we would decide where to go from there.

In the meantime I had Justin call the endocrinologist office to make sure that they had given us the right results and not someone else's. The nurse said it was right but called quest diagnostics to make sure.

Dr. Yamashiro called and said the same thing the other doctor did. It looked like it was an ectopic pregnancy that my body was taking care of.

So about 30 min. after I talked to the doctor, the manager guy called from quest diagnostics and said that while they were running my blood something had happened with the computer and they had to input my information manually. Apparently, the person who was inputting my information put their tracking number in my HCG level. So I was never even pregnant!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

How annoying is that? They are going to pay for all the medical bills and stuff but I'm so mad. What if I had had surgery? I am still in a lot of pain but I'm just assuming, as I did before, that it's from my pelvic congestion syndrome.

Thank you everyone for your prayers, kind words and love. I really, really appreciate it!

Shocking

Do you ever have one of those days that changes your life?

I went to see an endocrinologist last week for some problems that I've been having. My regular doctor couldn't figure out what was wrong with me so she sent me there. They called me this morning and told me that........................I'm pregnant.
I was stunned. I couldn't believe what she was telling me. I had my tubes tied about a year and a half ago.
So, of course I had to go to see my OB/GYN asap. I went in and had an ultrasound and there is nothing in my uterus. He said it's most likely an ectopic pregnancy. So were just waiting for my blood work to come back to decide if I need to go in for surgery.

Yesterday I was just going on living my normal life and today I'm pregnant. Sometimes things really just don't go the way you planned.
