JUMble V

*Let me say OFFICIALLY for the record, that the first half of April sucked big time!!! The second half definitely made up for it :) And I'm SO glad May is here!
*First...Jared's Grandma ended up in the hospital with a collapsed lung and a mass in each. She was there a week before she passed away. It was hard for everyone, she was the rock that everyone gravitated towards. We all miss her immensely.
*Second...I took an at home pregnancy test and it came out positive!!!! At my first ultrasound I had what looked to be two blood clots. One intrauterine and the other in the tube, and no heartbeat in either. It was a week of hell thinking that it was ectopic and I had to wait until the 8 week mark to have it removed, and having all of the pregnancy symptoms to go along with the wait. Why eight weeks...there is to much of a risk trying to remove it early and missing it, so 8 weeks was very important. After my doctor went back in my chart from the beginning (over a years worth of info to tripple check everything) he said there may be a slight chance an embryo will show up within the next couple of days. We kept all of my pre-op appointments scheduled just in case and when I went, there in fact was a faint heartbeat!!!! Apparently the tubal blood clot was a cyst caused by hormones and will dissolve on it's own, and the second intrauterine was the embryo. So my dates being all jacked up and the cyst it was very deceiving. But THANK GOODNESS we have a baby :)
*As of today I'm 9 weeks and all of my sickies are pretty much gone. I only feel like crap when I'm hungry or when I eat a full meal. I have headaches like I did with Ethan but they are manageable.
*We had Jared's Grandmas funeral service / reception. Lani and her younger brother planed the entire thing and they both did an amazing job. I had never been to a funeral or reception for before, but it was perfect. Very nice and memorible.
*Amee was able to make it home for a week so she could spend some time w/ her Grandma before she passed. She stayed a few nights with us and a few with Lani. It was a very nice visit. Her and Ethan played video games and on the computer. She is due to come back in August!
