WOW .. we did NOT see that coming!

So much has happened since we lost our Eliza. 

Jeremy and I Divorced and I swore never to get married again.. 

Well that is, until I met this cute guy at the Fiddler's drive-in .. 

We met at the drive in, he pulled up next to my 1996 Mustang convertible. I offered my chairs to his kids and we got talking, flirted, but he went back to his car when the movie started. (Even though I offered for him to sit in the mustang with me) 

I didn't talk to him after that, well , that day.

 I was bummed too cause that guy and I had so much chemistry. But he didn't ask for my number. So I thought if I were to go back to the dating game that guy would be right perfect for me.

A week later I was in a very serious roll over car accident. It left me in alot of pain. 


I couldn't shift the gears on my mustang very well so I decided to sell it (even though I love it, cause it truly is my dream car). I put it on Facebook marketplace (a place people sell stuff online). 

I got a message .. Robert started off by asking if I was at the Fiddler's drive in a few weeks ago. I spouted back very sassy (and very me) " yeah you were the hot guy that didn't ask for my number" .. 

Well that started a romance that would last for a very long time. 


We met Sept 28 2018 at the drive in, we started dating Dec. 6, 2018, engaged Feb 8th 2019 


and married Feb 8th 2020. 


Throughout our relationship I got pregnant many times, and promptly miscarried every time. I had so much heart break during this time. I was getting pregnant ever other month it seemed. It got to the point I didn't feel I could be happy to be pregnant. 

November 2020, I was pregnant again, this time with a Heterotopic pregnancy. I had one baby in my uterus, and one in my falopian tube. Neither were saveable. At 8 weeks (oct 28th) I had Chemotherapy to help the falopian baby. And Nov. 4th I had a D&C to remove the babies. 


This one BROKE ME. 

I WAS NOT  going to go through this again. I can't! My heart is too broken and my mental health was begining to suffer for it! 

All through November and December I grieved the loss of my boys, I was so sad. Sometimes I was so upset I would throw up! I was so emotional and hurting so deeply from the losses. 

January I started to feel pregnant again, but I was confused because I didn't even get my cycle back. Certainly I couldn't have been pregnant. 

Even if I was, I felt like I shouldn't even be excited because I would just lose the baby anyway. 

To save myself heart ache and heart break I just ignored any pregnancy symptoms as a way of "numbing myself" from the pain of the "impending loss." 

I hated that I felt that way! I hated that I was anything but over the moon excited. I couldn't allow myself that happiness, to just have it taken away again. 

January 24th I couldn't take it anymore I had to know. So I took a test... it was positive... 


My reaction "oh shit, here we go again, I'm gonna lose another baby"... 

I was angry at myself for feeling that way. I wanted to be excited but after so much heartbreak my mind was trying to protect my soul. 

I called and told Robert. (He was on the road for work) 

We thought at most I was just bearly pregnant. I called my doctor and told him and he said to get blood work done in the morning and to see him that afternoon. So I did. 

Going into the hospital for the blood work I was hoping for the best but bracing for the worst. 


I checked the rest results on my phone 90,000 HCG .. WHAT ?? HOW??? Thats not just pregnant but that's SUPER pregnant! How did this even happen? 


I went to the appt and the doctor did an ultrasound.. 

I was terrified, the last few times in the ultrasound room "there's no heartbeat" was said too many times than my heart will aknowledge. 

So terrified, my soul begging  for  a healthy heartbeat.. 

He puts the ultrasound wand in.. and we instantly saw a beautiful teddy bear baby. I kept asking, where's the heart beat where's the heart beat. 

Doctor heath responded .."We have a heart beat".. I broke down crying... 


He measured the baby .. 

11 weeks 1 day 

WAIT!  WHAT? HOW? 

We just had the DNC 11 weeks ago. 

The doctors response, "well something happened 9 weeks and 1 day ago" 

So this little one, is not only 11 weeks (past the scary phase of pregnancy)  but the baby was healthy and just fine! 

Wow 

What a story right!! 

We had another appointment today. We did another ultrasound. Wow that baby was doing summersaults, waving, the whole 9 yards to let mama know that she is just fine! 


Still in shock I'm pregnant, with a healthy baby, and I couldn't be happier!! 


So here I sit, in the waiting room at the hospital getting my blood glucose test. 


I'm so happy. So excited. Scared.. but excited.. 

Kyra is 20, Donna is now 10.. I guess I can't have kids but in 10 year gaps haha 

I can't wait for the future!
