It's no surprise that Kiko and I were trying to have another baby. Although, it may come as a surprise that it was not very easy to actually get pregnant. I had been going to my gyno for weeks and weeks and weeks getting laser treatments to my ovaries. One ovary actually works, and my other ovary has decided to take a life vacation. So that means I could only get pregnant every other month. My docotor actually told me that it kind of means that I have 18 days a year that I could actually get pregnant. This wasn't going to put my spirits down. I really didn't want Alli, our first child, to be alone. I really wanted her to have a sibling. So, I was willing to try anything.
I had gone to every one of my laser treatments. On Novemeber 17, 2011 was my last laser treatment I went in for, my doctor told me that she couldn't do it. I was very confused because I had never had a problem before. She went on to tell me that she couldn't because "she didn't want to hurt the baby." I was so shocked, excited, confused, and any other emotion you could possibly feel.
Then my next thought was, "OMG how do I tell Kiko!?" Of course, I didn't tell him first. I actually told my friend Jacki first, then I called my mom.
Kiko's birthday had actually just passed. I went to walmart and got a bracelet box (which the lady gave to me for free) and a pregnancy test. I took the test and put it in the bracelet box. I wrapped it up and told him it was a late birthday present that I was waiting for in the mail. (I lied). He actually didn't want to open it up until he had settled down a bit from work, but I made him.
He opened the box. He looked at the test, looked at me, looked at the test again and said "Are you serious?" He was smiling from ear to ear. He had wanted another baby since Alli was born. So this was such an exciting moment for him.
I made my first baby appointment for Dec. 2, 2011. That day I found out that our little buddle of joy will be joining this crazy family in August!
I hope you all enjoy reading this blog and experiencing all of my ups, downs, cravings, mood swings, and fat ankles. :)
