1/14/11 Katie's Healthy Eating Journal: Friday

Tonight we are traveling to Cleveland to visit some friends.  A year ago on MLK weekend we were at our friend's hosue when we found out we were pregnant.  We left right after school that day to travel up north and I was doubled over in pain.  I thought it was just the endometriosis flaring up that was making it so difficult to function coupled with the injections I was taking.  It honeslty hadn't even occurred to me that I was pregnant after our past several months that had failed.  This past round we had done injections, clomid, IUI, and fertility acupuncture during the procedure.  I was in so much pain that I had gotten pretty negative and swore that I was not pregnant.  My friend in Cleveland kept begging me to take a test but at first I was adamant that I wouldn't because the injections can give a false positive.  But, she finally wore me down and that Saturday night I decided to try it.  That same day a year before she had found out she was pregnant with her first and the test read the same thing - that I was now pregnant!  I tried not to get my hopes up until I got a blood test the following week.  That weekend was torture because I was in agonizing pain and could hardly visit with them because I spent a lot of the visit up in the guest room in tears.  Who knew that just a year later I would now have a beautiful son!?  I'm so blessed to have such a sweet baby boy.  I'll fill you in on how he does with his first long, 4 hour car ride tomorrow!
