It has been a while...

Well I just want to share some info on the last months of 2007. It has truly been crazy and challenging but looking back we have been so blessed. I am just so great for my personal health trials for they have made me appreciate everything and everyone in my life. I have gained a testimony of prayer and of the love of our Savior. I am also extremely grateful to my family for all of their support and love through these tough times. My dear husband fell apart, it made me tell my self what I tell him when he gets sick, SUCK it up. I continued with my life as normal.

Heavenly Father works in mysteries ways and has blessed me with another baby. Yes, I'm pregnant while being on the pill plus taking medication that was supposed to have a lesser chance of pregnancy. Let share the story. Well, I got a call from the Dr.'s office asking me to go in to the office to review my lab test. I assumed it was good or bad news regarding my health. Never did it cross my mind that I might be pregnant. So when I get there, he looks at me and says I have good news and bad news, which one do you want first? I had prepared for the worst so that I wouldn't be surprised so I quickly answered bad news. Your tumor has dramatically decreased but we are going to have to wait to treat it. We have to take you off the chemo immediately. I said, why? Well honey CONGRATULATIONS, you are pregnant. I answered that is impossible, yeah not right. He said well lets see, he called the nurse and asked her to get the ultrasound machine. I was sitting there confused but confident that he was wrong. As he places the image taker on my belly there it was. My jaw dropped and tears started to come out, I automatically started to ask questions, is it going to hurt the baby and the medicine, what are the side effects? He told me all the possibilities while measuring the baby with the ultrasound machine, you are 3 1/2 months pregnant everything looks good so far, but we must monitor you and the baby closely. I became hysterical and just couldn't get it together. I was in shock and could not believe this too was happening. He put his arm around me and went on saying that miracles happen and that he felt this was a blessing for my health and my family. He promised that the Lord new what he was doing (can you tell he is a bishop). I really didn't want to hear it, I was angry and frustrated. I composed my self and came home. When I told Roy he was concerned but happy. He said honey both of you will be okay. I cried for a month and didn't tell anyone else. I asked Roy for a blessing and went to the Temple seeking peace and comfort. When I left I felt like a new person and said okay well here we go please help me. When I announced it to my family laughs and "this could only happen to you", followed by a lot of questions. I am currently happy about my pregnancy and it's a GIRL! As soon as she comes out I am having laser surgery for my tumor and having my tubes tied!!!! The factory is closed :) Life is good!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving, Christmas and New years and hope that everyone else did as well. May this new year bring you all lots of happiness and peace.

P.S. One of my new year resolution is posting pics weekly!!! I'll post some tomorrow of the Holidays and kids birthday's.
