In the Beginning

On May 4th I found out I was pregnant.  I was cautiously excited.  This was the 7th time over the course of 6 years I had a positive test and as you know we only have 2 children.  So twice between Andrew and Mckinley and twice after I had miscarried.  The next 12 weeks would go by very slowly.  My doctor let me go in weekly for a sonogram to ease my mind and confirm there was still a heartbeat.  Over time I was more and more confident and there was even a week or two where I nested and moved Mckinley upstairs to her big girl room.  We had the first trimester screening which included blood work and a sonogram.  Mostly because I thought there was a small chance they would be able to tell us the sex of the baby and I was anxious! She guessed it was a girl :)

So off we went to a family reunion in New Mexico.  Finally the morning sickness was gone and we were in the 2nd trimester.

And then we received the first of many "calls"...
