Another Positive

May 2004 we lost our very first baby when I was 8 weeks. I immersed myself in all the info I could find on miscarriage and if there were things I could do to try & prevent them, how often it happens, if it would happen again. I was obsessed. June came and went by all while I was getting all the info I could and I got the courage to start looking through all the free stuff I had previously received at my very first appointment. I was so busy with it all that I did not even realize that July came and went without any PMS and all that goes with it (I'm sure you know what I mean). I was still doing the Suzanne Sommers diet as it was working and I was still losing weight and feeling so much better about myself. However I did notice that I was hungry before it would be time to eat, I still thought nothing of it & would eat a snack.
Friday the 13th August 2004 hurricane Charlie was heading for us and we were let out early from work so that we could do whatever was needed to do before the storm arrived. On the way home I picked up a pregnancy test and then waited for Henry to come home before taking it, that was a very long wait. He had no idea that I was taking one however so he had no idea what was going on. I took the test and waited, waited, and waited. Why is it that when it comes to those little test 3 minutes feels like an eternity? So, there I was so nervous, Henry in the other room with no clue as to what I was doing and just waiting. I finally looked over and there it was a plus sign it was faint so that made me nervous but somehow I knew it would all be o.k. I opened the door and screamed for Henry to get back there! He came running b/c he thought there was a bug or something that needed to be taken care of and was relieved when there was not a bug in sight. He picked up the test & had the same response I did, "What the? Really? Seriously? We weren't even really trying & we are? Really, a baby is on it's way?" all with a big stupid grin on his face!! It was great we called our parents right away I could not wait & thought it would be nice to give a bit of good news on such a day.
I guess I don't need to tell you that all went well with that pregnancy b/c Zale came into this world in April 2005 and just turned 4. He was our golden baby/child the kind you want for your first baby. So incredibly easy!! Sleeping through the night @ 2 months, teething with only one night of pain and only for a short while then slept through the night, feeding himself w/ fork & spoon at 10 months, potty training a breeze, he is a pretty picker eater but I can't complain too much. He totally and completley spoiled us his whole first year (even still). Who we were blessed with next has thrown us for a loop since the day he was born.
