Outnumbered

Last night I went to the ER because of the pain that I have been having on my left side with the 4 mm cyst. I had barely been able to walk for most of the day because of it and I said enough was enough. I had been to my OB/GYN the last couple of to get blood work, ultrasounds, etc. and they hadn't figured out what was causing all of the pain. They were supposed to call in a script for me yesterday, but they dropped the ball on it and there was no way I could wait through the weekend. Instead of driving all the way to Riverview like I normally would, I went to a local hospital only 5 minutes away. My parents came over to help out by taking me so Jared could get the boys to bed.

We waited, and waited in the lobby until a couple of hours there they finally called me back. They asked me questions and took blood and urine samples. The decided to do an exam and after the exam the PA came in and said, "Guess what, you're pregnant!" I couldn't believe it! I had been to my doc and everything and they hadn't caught it! I think I had to have screamed or yelled because of the shock of it all! They walked me back down to the exam room where my Mom was waiting on me and I couldn't help but smile. She asked what was going on and when I told her, she was like, "You've got to be kidding me! Really?!" and her face probably reflected the same expression that I had when they told me.

My Dad was out in the car resting and waiting, so Mom called him to tell him to come in. She didn't say anything else, so when he came in he was expecting to hear really bad news or something. When I told him, he was completely shocked too! He kept saying, it's going to be another boy, the cycle isn't going to be broken! Mom kept teasing saying her and Dad aren't going to have anymore sleepover for Andy because this is what happens when they do! (this happened with Rhys too, it was a big surprise with him) They took me up to get an ultrasound and to make sure everything was looking and measure well and they figured I am about 5 weeks along.

We left the hospital and I called Jared to tell him we're on our way home, but that was it. He came and unlocked the door and in a really serious tone, I said, "Here, these are my discharge papers and I think you need to read them so you know what my treatment will be like." He started to read them and of course it says to take prenatal vitamins and to follow up with my OB. He read it and was like, "That's weird, prenatal vitamins? Wait, wait a minute, are you, you're pregnant?!" I thought he was going to have to be transported to the ER himself because he was in such shock! (remember, by this time it was at a least 1:30 in the morning and he was very tired) I think we both slept very restlessly last night and it was a lot to take in at first, but we are really excited for this, especially when we thought there might be a possibility that I might not get to have any other children, well that's what the OB said could be a possibility due to possible surgery. oops! There's a big difference between Endometriosis and pregnancy! Guess I'll be finding a new OB! I am due October 21st. We will officially be outnumbered! Needless to say that Nana and Grandpa and the rest of the family were just as surprised as we were!!
