We are 20 weeks pregnant!
Many of you already know my history and what I have been through to get to this point. Thus, the reason for holding off on any official notices on my pregnancy.
This pregnancy has been 17 years in the making. I have been through 8 miscarriages and the twin to this baby didn't make it. Making that my 9th miscarriage. But this baby is a survivor and we are so excited and can't wait to meet our baby.
Our baby is constantly moving around, kicking, punching, stretching, yawning, just endless movement. It's so exciting to feel and experience.
There are so many things about this pregnancy that make it a miracle to me that baby and I have made it this far.
I've had several ectopic (tubal pregnancies) in which the last one was so traumatic (my left fallopian tube burst in two places) causing me to be rushed to the hospital and have the tube removed. Fortunately, I survived.
Originally, I found out I was pregnant at the end of August. In my initial ultrasound I was informed that I ovulated from my left ovary (the one that was removed). How does that happen?
When Rocky and I went in for another appointment we found out we were pregnant with twins. So not only did I ovulate from my left tube, there were two eggs that came from my left tube and were fertilized. Amazing!
We also found out I had several uterine fibroids which might cause some complications. Fortunately, no problems so far.
Unfortunately, at 10 weeks we found out we lost one of our babies. Not an easy thing to go through.
Now at 20 weeks, I feel more confident that both baby and I are going to make it through. I'm so elated and excited, words can not define the joy I feel. Thank you to all my family and friends who have been there for baby and me, kept us in your thoughts and prayers. I feel so blessed.
Here is a profile of our baby.
Here is baby's hand.
Here is baby's foot. I know...baby has a wide foot. I thought the baby had six toes at first but the sonographer assured me that it just has a big toe. Those must be daddy's feet.

Just so excited, I can't wait!!!
