..BABY AUGUST..

THINGS HAVE BEEN ROCKY THE PAST COUPLE WEEKS BUT EVERYTHING IS STARTING TO SINK IN AND MAKE SENSE DAY AFTER DAY..

FIRST I WANT TO THANK *EVERYONE* FOR THE PRAYERS AND KIND THOUGHTS..YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN GREAT AND WE COULDN'T ASK FOR BETTER FRIENDS AND FAMILY.. 

YESTERDAY I HAD MY D&C DONE..THAT WAS PROBABLY THE MOST NERVRACKING THING I HAVE EVER BEEN THROUGH IN MY LIFE..DR.ROSTOCKI WAS GREAT AND HE EVEN SEEMED TO THINK I DID GREAT TOO..I AM GLAD I GOT ALL THAT PAST ME AND DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT SURGERY ANYMORE..RAY AND LINDA WERE GREAT ALSO WHILE THEY WAITED FOR ABOUT 4 HOURS ALL TOGETHER(THATS INCLUDING US WAITING FOR MY SURGERY TO START AND WAITING FOR IT ALL TO BE OVER WITH)..I FELT FINE AFTER THE SURGERY..RAY CAME IN WITH A STUFFED BUNNY RABBIT AND HELPED ME GET DRESSED AND ALL..I WAS STARVED WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE RECOVERY ROOM SO WE WENT TO WENDY'S I HAD A BAKED POTATO WITH A SMALL FRY AND A STRAWBERRY MILK SHAKE..I AM REALLY GLAD I WASN'T SICK AFTER WARDS..ON THE WAY HOME I STARTED GETTING HOT AND UNCOMFORTABLE SO I FROZE RAY AND LINDA TO DEATH PROBABLY WITH THE AIR CONDITION ON AND THE WINDOWS ROLLED DOWN..

AFTER WE GOT HOME I SLEPT ALL DAY..GOT UP FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND WATCHED AMERICAN IDOL..THEN WENT BACK TO SLEEP..SLEPT ALL NIGHT AND DIDN'T WAKE UP TIL 11:30 THIS MORNING..SO I AM HOPING I SLEPT ALL THAT ANESTHESIA OFF..
 
THE ONLY SIDE EFFECT I HAVE HAD IS CRAMPING BUT IT ISN'T NOTHING THAT THE PAIN MEDICATION DOESN'T TAKE CARE OF..
 
 GLAD I GOT IT OVER WITH FOR SURE..

THE BUNNY RAY GOT FOR ME..

RAY AND I HAVE ALSO BEEN TALKING AND WE WANTED TO DO SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR THE BABY..SO WE NAMED HIM/HER AUGUST(MEANING GREAT AND MAGNIFICENT)..AS MOST OF YOU KNOW WE WERE DUE IN AUGUST SO IT JUST KINDA WENT TOGETHER..WE ARE ALSO GOING TO PLANT A WEEPING WILLOW TREE OUTSIDE THIS SPRING ALSO FOR SOME CLOSURE..
I MADE THIS LITTLE SCRAPBOOK PAGE FOR THE BABY..WE ARE GOING TO TAKE IT TO BEN FRANKLINS AND SEE IF WE CAN'T HAVE THEM MAKE A FRAME FOR US SO WE CAN HANG IT ON THE WALL INSTEAD OF KEEPING IT IN A BOOK..THERE IS ALSO A POEM TYPED UP FOR AUGUST THAT MY FRIEND ANJELETTA SENT TO ME ON FACEBOOK A FEW DAYS AFTER WE FOUND OUT THAT WE MISCARRIED..

 
"Daddy please don't look so sad,momma please don't cry.
Cause I'm in the arms of Jesus, and he sings me lullabies.
please try not to question God, don't think he is unkind.
Don't think he sent me to you and then changed his mind.
You see I'm a special child, I am needed up above.
I'm the special gift you gave Him, a product of your love.
I'll always be there with you, so watch the sky at night.
Look for the brightest star and know that's my halo's brilliant light.
You'll see me in the morning frost that mists your window pane.
That's me in the summer showers, I'll be dancing in the rain.
When you feel a gentle breeze from a gentle wind that blows.
Know that it's me planting a kiss upon your nose.
When you see a child playing and your heart feels a tug,
Don't be sad mommy, that's just me giving your heart a hug.
So daddy don't looks so sad and momma please don't cry.
I'm in the arms of Jesus and he sings me lullabies!"
 
OF COURSE RAY AND I WERE BOTH CRYING WHEN WE WERE READING IT BUT I WANT TO THANK ANJELETTA FOR SENDING IT TO ME..


FLOWERS FROM KATHY..SHE IS SUCH A KIND SOUL..

RAY AND I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE ONCE MORE..YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN GREAT AND WE LOVE YOU ALL DEARLY..

..MUCH LOVE..

..JUST A QUICK UPDATE..

JUST A QUICK UPDATE FOR EVERYONE..

YESTERDAY MY DOCTOR CALLED ME AND WAS WONDERING HOW I WAS DOING..SHE WAS ASKING ME IF I HAD ANY CRAMPING OR BLEEDING(WHICH I HAVEN'T)SO SHE WANTED TO TALK TO ME ABOUT THE 2 OPTIONS THAT WERE AT HAND TO GET THE SACK OUT OF ME SINCE MY BODY DOESN'T WANT TO PASS IT ON ITS ON..SHE WAS GOING TO GIVE ME 2 WEEKS TO PASS EVERYTHING BUT WHEN SHE CHECKED MY CERVIX LAST WEDNESDAY IT WAS COMPLETELY CLOSED AND SHE SEEMED TO THINK IF I HADN'T BEEN CRAMPING OR BLEEDING YET THAT IT STILL MIGHT BE AWHILE..I THINK SHE IS WORRIED ABOUT AN INFECTION STARTING..
I WENT TO HER OFFICE AT ABOUT 3:30 YESTERDAY AFTERNOON AND WE TALKED ABOUT MY OPTIONS..SHE EXPLAINED TO ME THE WAY YOU USE THE PILLS AND THE SIDE EFFECTS AFTER WARDS..I WAS TO TAKE 4 PILLS TRANS VAGINALLY EVERY 8 HOURS..THE SIDE EFFECTS WERE SERVER CRAMPING AND OTHER NO GOOD STOMACH PROBLEMS AND IF THE PILLS DIDN'T WANT TO WORK I WOULD STILL HAVE TO GET A D&C DONE..MY OTHER OPTION WAS THE D&C..THE ONLY SIDE EFFECT WAS CRAMPING(IF ANY)AFTER THE PROCEDURE..

I HONESTLY HAD NO CLUE ON WHAT TO DO BECAUSE I WAS LEANING TOWARDS THE PILLS UNTIL SHE STARTED TALKING ALL THE CRAPPY SIDE EFFECTS AND HOW HER SISTER DID THE PILLS TOO AND HAD A ROUGH TIME WITH THEM AND HAD TO HAVE A D&C DONE ANYWAY..

MY CHOICE WAS TO HAVE THE D&C DONE..I GO TOMORROW TO DR.RASTAKI"S(SP)OFFICE IN SUMMERSVILLE AND HE IS GOING TO RESCAN EVERYTHING ONCE MORE(JUST TO BE SURE)AND THEN WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE SURGERY..

I'M NOT FOR SURE IF WE WILL BE DOING THE SURGERY TOMORROW OR NOT BUT I WANTED TO GO AHEAD AND LET EVERYONE KNOW THE SITUATION AT HAND..

ALSO I HAD DR.SAYRE SHOW ME THE REPORT OF THE ULTRASOUND JUST TO BE SURE THERE WAS NO BABY(I HAVE BEEN LIVING WITH THIS THOUGHT IN MY HEAD THAT THERE WAS A BABY AND MAYBE THEY JUST MESSED UP)BUT SHE REASSURED ME THAT THERE WASN'T ANYTHING THERE AND EXPLAINED THAT THE SACK WAS FLAT AND FLUIDY BUT NOTHING ELSE WAS THERE..SO I FEEL A LOT BETTER ABOUT THAT..

I'M REALLY NERVOUS ABOUT THIS PROCEDURE BUT I DON'T WANT AN INFECTION EITHER SO I GUESS I WILL HAVE TO GET IT DONE..JUST A LITTLE PRAYER WOULD BE NICE FROM YOU ALL AND HOPEFULLY I CAN BE IN AND OUT IN NO TIME..

..TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN..

I'M THE TYPE OF PERSON THAT FEELS BETTER WHEN I TALK ABOUT STUFF SO THIS IS FOR YOU,MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY,THAT HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THERE FOR ME THROUGH THE TOUGHEST TIMES OF MY LIFE..THIS IS ONE OF THOSE TIMES IT FEELS LIKE AND I WANT ALL OF YOU TO KNOW ABOUT IT..

IT ISN'T HARD FOR ME TO TALK ABOUT BUT IT IS HARD FOR ME TO COPE WITH ON SO MANY DIFFERENT LEVELS  JUST BECAUSE THIS IS ALL WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT FOR THE PAST 5 MONTHS IS HAVING A BABY..


MAYBE WE SHOULDN'T HAVE SHOT OFF THE MOMENT I TESTED POSITIVE FOR A BABY BUT IF YOU KNOW ME I CAN'T KEEP MY MOUTH SHUT ABOUT ANYTHING..THE PAST 2 MONTHS HAVE BEEN PRETTY OVERWHELMING FROM FINDING OUT THAT WE WERE PREGNANT AND MIGHT BE HAVING TWINS..

BUT JUST TO GET IT OUT OF THE WAY..RAY AND I ARE NOT PREGNANT..

LAST WEEK WE WENT TO OUR 2ND APPOINTMENT WHERE THEY FOLLOWED ME UP ON MY BLOOD WORK(WHICH TURNED OUT FINE OTHER THAN I HAVE A RARE BLOOD TYPE) O NEGATIVE..THEY ALSO DID A PAP WHERE THEY CHECKED MY CERVIX AND STD'S(WHICH I'M CLEAR OF COURSE)..MY CERVIX WAS COMPLETELY CLOSED..THEY ALSO DID A ROUND ON MY UTERUS WHERE MY DOCTOR THOUGHT THAT WE MIGHT BE PREGNANT WITH TWINS BECAUSE OF THE LARGENESS OF MY UTERUS AND THE FACT THAT RAY AND I BOTH HAVE TWINS IN OUR FAMILIES..SHE ALSO SCHEDULED ME A VAGINAL ULTRASOUND FOR THE 18TH OF THIS MONTH TO CONFIRM THE TWINS AND FOR MY 1ST TRIMESTER ULTRASOUND..

YESTERDAY WE  WENT TO SUMMERSVILLE HOSPITAL TO GET THE ULTRASOUND DONE..OUR APPOINTMENT WAS AT 3:30..DURING THE ULTRASOUND I ASKED FOR RAY AND LINDA TO BE IN THE ROOM WITH ME..WHILE SHE WAS GOING THROUGH HER NORMAL ROUTINE OF THE ULTRASOUND SHE WAS ASKING ME IF I HAD GOT ALL MY LAB TESTS BACK FROM MY PRENATAL VISITS(WHICH I WAS PRETTY SURE EVERYTHING HAD A CAME BACK)..SHE FINISHES UP WITH EVERYTHING AND TELLS ME TO GO AHEAD AND GET DRESSED AND SHE WILL BE RIGHT BACK..SO I DID SO..ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER SHE COMES BACK IN WITH THE PHONE AND SAYS THAT DR.SAYER(MY OBGYN)WAS ON THE PHONE AND WANTED TO SPEAK WITH ME..I KNEW THEN SOMETHING WASN'T RIGHT CONSIDERING WE HADN'T EVEN SEEN ANY PICTURES OF THE BABY(S) ON THE ULTRASOUND SCREEN BUT SEEING THAT I HAD NEVER HAD ONE BEFORE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE PROCEDURES WERE ANYWAY SO NEVER THOUGHT ANYTHING ABOUT IT..AS I STARTED TALKING TO THE DOCTOR I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG BY THAT TONE IN HER VOICE(YOU KNOW THAT TONE THAT SOMEONE HAS WHEN SOMEONE HAS PASSED AWAY AND THEY JUST DON'T KNOW HOW TO PUT IT INTO WORDS)..WE TALKED FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN STARTED EXPLAINING TO ME THAT MY RESULTS FROM THE ULTRASOUND WEREN'T GOOD AND THAT THE BABY DIDN'T DEVELOP..OF COURSE I AM IN SHOCK AND HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO SAY..IT WAS ALSO AWKWARD BECAUSE I HAD RAY AND HIS MOM IN THE ROOM WITH ME WHILE I WAS GETTING THIS DISAPPOINTING NEWS(KNOWING IN THE BACK OF MY MIND THAT I HAD TO TELL THEM AFTER THE PHONE CONVERSATION WAS OVER)..SHE ASKED ME IF I WAS FREE ON WEDNESDAY(TODAY)AND IF I WANTED TO COME IN SO WE COULD TALK ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED AND ANY QUESTIONS THAT I HAD..SO I MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR 2:00..AFTER I GOT OFF THE PHONE I WAS IN SHOCK FROM HEAD TO TOE BECAUSE OF NUMEROUS REASONS FROM EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE AT ALL MY OTHER CHECK-UPS AND LAST WEEK SHE THOUGHT THAT I WAS PREGNANT WITH TWINS..NOW THERE WAS NOTHING..AFTER I KEPT RAY AND LINDA WAITING IN LINE ON WHAT WAS GOING ON I TOLD THEM..I SWEAR I WOULD HAVE COMPLETELY LOST MYSELF IN THAT ROOM IF IT WEREN'T FOR RAY AND LINDA..I BELIEVE WE WERE ALL IN SHOCK..WHEN WE WERE WALKING OUT OF THE ULTRASOUND ROOM THEY TOLD ME THAT IF THE DOCTOR NEEDED ANYTHING FROM THEM THEN TO CALL AND THEY WOULD SEND IT RIGHT AWAY..THE CAR RIDE HOME WAS NOTHING BUT SNIFFLING,CRYING AND WONDERING WHAT WE HAD DONE WRONG OR WENT WRONG..LINDA WAS REALLY GREAT AT TALKING ME DOWN AND KEEPING MY HEAD ON STRAIGHT..WHEN WE GOT HOME RAY AND I COMPLETELY LOST OURSELVES IN ONE ANOTHER AND CRIED FOR A BIT THEN WE WERE READY FOR SOME ANSWERS..

THIS MORNING I WOKE UP WITH THE MOST EMPTIEST FEELING IN THE WORLD AND RAY ALSO FELT THE SAME BUT I DO BELIEVE WE HAVE HELD UP BETTER THAN SOME WOULD IN THIS SITUATION..

WE WENT TO THE APPOINTMENT AND I WAS PRETTY ANXIOUS ON GETTING EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED AND WHY IT HAPPENED..

WHEN WE GOT PREGNANT THE SACK FORMED BUT THE BABY NEVER DID..SO "TECHNICALLY" THERE WAS NEVER A BABY..JUST A SACK..WHICH ITS HARD FOR ME TO BELIEVE BECAUSE RAY AND I BOTH LOVED THAT LITTLE INNOCENT BABY  TO DEATH(HOW DO YOU LOVE SOMETHING THAT ISN'T THERE)..??..DR.SAYER ALSO SAID THAT SHE HAS HAD 3 MORE CASES THIS WEEK THAT WAS EXACTLY LIKE MINE..SO THIS IS COMMON..I ASKED HER IF IT WAS A "MISCARRIAGE" AND SHE SAID YES..SHE ALSO CALLED IT A BIOLOGICAL ABORTION MEANING IT WAS MY BODY THAT GOT RID OF IT BECAUSE SOMETHING WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN RIGHT ANYWAY..SO I GUESS YOU COULD SAY I MISCARRIED BUT I DON'T FEEL THAT WAY YET BECAUSE I HAVE YET TO PASS ANYTHING..THATS WHERE I'M GOING NOW..SHE GAVE ME 3 OPTIONS ON PASSING THE TISSUE THAT MY BODY NEEDS TO GET RID OF..1..IS NATURALLY..SHE SAID I SHOULD GIVE MY BODY 2 WEEKS TO PASS EVERYTHING AND THIS WILL CONSIST OF BLEEDING OF COURSE AND MILD TO MODERATE CRAMPS..2..PILLS THAT WILL HELP MY BODY PASS IT FASTER..3..DNC..WHICH MIGHT SCARE MY CERVIX..I DECIDED TO GO FOR IT NATURALLY FIRST..YOUR BODY IS SMART AND KNOWS WHAT TO DO AND WHEN TO DO IT..AS OF NOW(SHE CHECKED MY CERVIX TODAY)I AM STILL COMPLETELY CLOSED SO SHE TOLD ME GIVE IT ABOUT 2 WEEKS..IF THAT DOESN'T WORK I AM GOING TO TRY THE PILLS NEXT AND THEN THE DNC BUT I WILL KEEP YOU GUYS POSTED ON THAT..I ASKED HER IF THERE WAS "NO BABY" THEN WHY WAS MY UTERUS GROWING AT A RAPID RATE AND SHE SAID THAT YOUR UTERUS GROWS EVEN IF THERE IS NOTHING IN THERE BUT GROWS LIKE THERE IS..ALSO SINCE I DO HAVE THE RARE BLOOD TYPE SHE WANTS ME TO COME IN AND GET A REGIMEN SHOT AFTER I PASS THE CLOT THAT WAY IF RAY AND I DO GET PREGNANT AGAIN MY BODY WON'T FIGHT THE POSITIVE BLOOD(WHICH RAY IS A POSITIVE)THINKING ITS A VIRUS AND MY BODY WONT BUILD UP ANTIBODIES TO STRIKE AGAINST IT(BUT NOTHING HAPPENED IN THIS PREGNANCY BECAUSE OF THE BLOOD TYPE)I THINK SHE WAS JUST WANTING TO TAKE PRECAUTION..

SO NOW THAT EVERYONE OF YOU THAT HAVE HAD QUESTIONS HERE ARE YOUR ANSWERS..WE WILL KEEP YOU POSTED ON ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS IN THE NEXT COUPLE WEEKS..


MUCH LOVE TO ALL
RAY AND TRACIE

I TOOK THIS PICTURE THIS MORNING..THERE REALLY ISN'T MUCH TO SEE BUT I THOUGHT I WOULD START TAKING PICTURES NOW..I HAVEN'T GOT "MORNING SICKNESS" YET BUT I DON'T FEEL VERY WELL IN THE EVENINGS..IT ISN'T A PUKING SICK JUST A NASTY FEELING..THE OTHER DAY I HAD A CANDLE LIT IN THE LIVING ROOM..IT WAS VERMONT MAPLE SYRUP(I LOVE THAT CANDLE)AND IT WASN'T SETTLING VERY WELL WITH ME SO I BLEW IT OUT..I HAVE ALSO BEEN HAVING SOME PRETTY INTENSE CRAMPS..I'M NOT USE TO CRAMPING SEEING THAT I DON'T MOST OF THE TIME SO THESE HURT..I KNOW ITS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO THE GIST THATS GOING TO COME LATER ON..

I ALSO FINISHED MY MUSTARD SCARF THAT I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON FOREVER..!!..THE REASON IT HAS TAKEN ME FOREVER IS BECAUSE I REALLY GOT INTO SCRAP BOOKING AND IT SEEMS LIKE THATS ALL I WANT TO DO WITH MY FREE TIME NOW WHEN I'M NOT CLEANING,WORKING,CATERING TO ANIMALS OR SPENDING TIME WITH THE RAYZOR..
