twins

this is kind of a personal story for me, but its so interesting and neat that i just had to share. if you dont mind bloody talk then keep reading. thursday night after my doctors appointment i had really bad cramps. i had to lay on the couch and curl up in a ball. i was thinking “why am i just NOW having cramps?? I already bypassed the sac!” to keep it clean, i’ll tell you the short version. a few hours after having cramps they stopped. I was finally calming down from my emotional day and guess what? I just then bypassed something that looked exactly like a 8 or 9 week old fetus. no joke. i started shaking and freaking out because this now became so real to me. i called brig in the room and he took a quick glance at it. we did not keep it for several reasons. the main one is that we did not think to. it was 9:30pm and it didnt cross my mind to call the dr. may sound crazy but i just didnt.
the next morning i decided to call the dr. and let them know what happened. when they called back they explained to me that this was very interesting because the dr. had already removed the fully attached sac. which means that the fetus was in the sac.
today the dr. called and let me know he got the test results back and the sac that he removed definitely had a fetus inside. he let me know that most likely i had miscarried twins. the reason that he had not seen that before is because at my dr’s appointment when he did the ultrasound, there was only one heart beat. he said that most likely one of them died before that appointment.
wow.
that wouldve been a tough couple of years ahead of us! 3 kids under the age of 1 1/2!! they just wanted to come down together so badly. then maybe they decided..maybe 2 of us will make mommy’s young hairs turn grey a little sooner than she’d like. maybe she’d do better if we came one at a time :)
thanks again for everyones love and support during this tough time. i am so blessed to have such wonderful friends and family.

babies are miracles

yesterday we lost our precious little baby. I felt like I was already getting attached to my baby. we are feeling so extremely grateful that it only happened when i was 9 weeks along. But that didnt stop me from feeling any pain. I have gained a new appreciation for women that go through miscarriages or still born babies. It is such an empty feeling.
On Tuesday I had my doctors appointment and everything looked great. We saw the heart beat on the ultrasound and it was beating just as it should. That night I had a little bit of discharge but didnt think much about it. Wednesday morning I started bleeding. I called the doctor and they told me that they think that it was probably because of the ultrasound and most likely it was coming from the cervix, not the uterus. This was comforting. They told me to go on bed rest for 24 hours and if it didnt go away then to call. My mom took Maddix and I got lots of rest. Thursday morning it got worse. I called the doctor and scheduled an appointment at 1:15. I was on bed rest until then. I am so grateful for my mom that let me lounge at her house while she entertained maddix. I didnt have any cramping through any of this until a little before the doctors appointment. It continued to get worse at the doctors and was hurting pretty bad while I was there waiting. When they brought me back, they did an exam and i bypassed the sac already. He told me the news, i was shocked. they both gave me hugs, let me cry, and finished up. I called Brig right away and let him know the sad news. He came home, gave me a big hug and just let me cry..and eat ice cream :) I didnt think it would hurt this much. Physically and emotionally. {I had very bad cramps when I got home for a few hours}. After a few hours I was able to talk on the phone without crying. But I would end up breaking down right after of course. My awesome mother in law and sister in law brought us dinner and Brig helped me with Maddix.
This morning I am doing a lot better. I got the rest my body needed and today I’m going to be strong. i’m going to spend lots of time with family to take my mind off of it. Thanks for everyone’s love and support. I appreciate it!
I am so grateful for the plan of salvation. I know that I will see my baby again. I am very grateful to have Maddix to keep me busy and to keep my mind occupied :) He is such a blessing and is everything brig and I could ever want in a little boy. My sister in law the other day reminded me that baby’s are such miracles. I dont think I ever fully appreciated that when I had Maddix because he was completely healthy and my pregnancy went perfect. Babies really are miracles. I know that Heavenly Father has a plan for us and that this trial in our life happened for a reason. I have so much faith in my Savior and know that everything will be okay :)

we are so excited to meet this little one sometime around the beginning of september.

…………

for my birthday we went up to my parents cabin with some of my family. on monday we went snowboarding at sunrise. way fun! but the bad news is that brig and i both hurt ourselves. my lower back and his knee. he totally called this. we have our 1/2 marathon in two weeks!!! i hope we heal so that we can run it! we’ve been training so long and hard for this. it was a very memorable birthday! :)

items of business

first of all, maddix is officially crawling..everywhere! we now need to baby-proof the house. like crazy. he loves getting into chords, almost tipped the stand-up fan onto himself, almost pulled the curling iron down onto himself. i tell ya, its scary!
second, in case you were wondering, we had an awesome weekend. friday morning we learned to love each other a little more and realize how blessed we are as a family and to have the gospel in our lives. brig’s good friends wife was pregnant with a little boy after trying for a couple years. she lost the baby a couple days before she was supposed to be induced. they had a funeral on friday morning that we attended. that was the most emotional thing. we just sat there and held maddix so tight..we could hardly get through the opening hymn “Families Can Be Together Forever”. we were super choked up. yes, even brigham..which is totally not like him. that was such a good reminder for us to take advantage of our sweet healthy little boy. i wouldnt have it any other way. that day we learned to be so patient with him..if he cried we just held him and comforted him and realized how blessed we are to have a crying baby in the home, to have a non-sleeping baby in the home, to have a baby in the home at all! i love my family more than anything and im so glad that we can be together forever.
brig took the rest of the day off. i went to lunch with my sister in laws then baked and decorated a cake for pretty much the rest of the night. {no worries, i took a break and we went to paradise bakery for din din and then walked to wal mart :)} my sisters and mom came over at 9:30..PM! to help me a little with another cake. they are the best! i would have been up all night doing that! it was a huge cake. but we had so much fun together :)
saturday consisted of a 5 mile run, more cake decorating, snorkeling in the swimming pool {practicing up for hawaii..the count down is on}, napping in the sun, and then dinner at arriba’s {delish} and walking around san tan mall with brig’s sister and brother in law.
sunday was a relaxed day, went to church, had home teachers, rested, ate dinner, then visited the weights.

{walking to wal mart }

{maddix crawling everywhere=dirty water?}

{this is from like a month ago but i just had to post it!}

{lovin’ the shopping cart!}

{he misses me during my workouts}

speaking of working out. this is my entertainment at the gym..not really her..but pretty much her twin and husband. my favorite part is watching from the second floor. everyone that she walks by just stares with nasty looks on their faces while whispering to their friends. it is awesome. what do you think brig? should i ask her to be my trainer?? eh? or better yet, should i ask her what she takin?
