What's going on in our World?

Hello everybody.  Let's start off by saying that I miss you all greatly.  And that I wish we had more time to come by and see everybody, but unfortunatly that is not possible.  As you all know, since we had such a rough pregnancy with Addison, my doctor would like for me to go back to Maternal Fetal Group and have the high risk doctors run some tests before we start trying again.  So this appointment has been set up for October 2 @ 12:45.  So when I find out what all will be done, I will up date so that you all have the info.  We have talked about it and as long as we get the green light from the doctors would like to start trying again as soon as possible.  However, seeing that I had to have a c-section with Addison, we know that there will be a waiting period that we have to wait for that to go by.  We are holding up though with every thing that has happened and are excited but scared to try again.  We are just praying for a healthy baby, we don't care if it is a boy or girl, just as long as it is healthy.  I have been trying to get my body back in shape so that we might not have as many issues this time around.  And I have already made a list of questions to ask the doctors when we go to our appointment.  As some of you know, there are many family members that are saying that we have twins.  I would love twins as long as they at least come out weighing 4 pounds each.  I so do not want to have to go back to the NICU, as we had enough of that place with Addison.  So as soon as I know what is going on with the testing and the results, I will let you know.  Love and Miss all of you.

    We had our appointment with the High Risk Doctors last Thursday.  And it went better than I thought it would.  They did draw some blood to run some tests on and I should have the results back on that some time this week.  However, the doctor doesn't think that it is going to show anything.  He put me on baby asprin to take everyday even while pregnant to help with the pre-eclampsia.  He also doesn't see why we can't go on to have another baby and the outcome be better than our last one.  They will treat my next pregnancy as a high risk one, which means that I will have more doctors visits and ultrasounds.  As he put it, I will be in and out of Doctors offices the whole time.  He does want us to wait the recommended six months before trying again if we decide that we want to start trying again that early.  So for now we are taking the baby asprin and waiting to see what the blood tests show.

Well last week I got the test results back and everything came back normal, so I am very happy about that.  Now we jast have to wait out the six months which will be up in December.  Then if we think that it's right for us then we will start trying again for god to bless us with another child to love as much as we love Addison.  She is never forgotten and is asked about by her cousins often.  They don't understand alot of what is going on but they know that she is in heaven and that she is with jesus and being taken care of.  They ask many questions which I don't always have the answers for but never will I not be up for their questions about our baby girl. 

On another note: This coming weekend we will be headed to Atlanta for the race and are really looking forward to getting away for a little while.  i think that it will be really good for us.  I will post a few pics when we get back.  I really hope that everyone is enjoying this website and that it is keeping everybody updated on what is going on in our life.

   Okay, So it's been a little while since I've updated this.  We've been really busy with everything and just trying to take things as they come.  The first weekend of Feb. we took a little weekend trip to Gatlinburg.  It helped to get away from everything and everybody for a little while and to clear our heads.  I think every relationship needs that every now and then.  We survivied through Thanksgiving and Christmas and now we are just holding on barley to the upcoming holidays.  I am not looking forward to those at all.  We are getting ready for our second March for Babies walk, which is April 19.  We are hoping for even a better turnout then last time and hope to raise more money this time, but we will have to see.  We've had some new cousins be born and another on the way, which is due around Addison's original due date so we will have to see how I handle that, cause at the moment I'm not.  I am now living by the scripture, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." and it seems to help me get through the tough spots.  We are sort of doing some house shopping as I would like to move into a bigger house that has room for more kids.  We hope to be blessed with another child but will have to see what God's plans are for us.  I have been reaching out to other mothers that have lost babies and it feels very good to feel that I am not alone and to give others hope to keep going. That even though it's hard and you want to give up, this is the Life that we have been dealt and we have to learn from it and take with us what we can and reach out to others with our sorrow.  I want to thank everybody that is visiting this website and Addison's website, and to everybody that is helping with the Walk.  We greatly appreciate it.  We love you all.

Love, Misty, Jamie, & (our angel) Addison
