We're having a...

So we've taking a hiatus from blogging for six months. It's because we have been busy with doctors. We just found out we are having a FIBROID! We are so excited. It will be delivered by C-Section on Tuesday, January 29. You are all invited to come and visit us in the hospital! This photo is our latest ultrasound. Isn't she cute!

Ok, enough joking around. After two years of crazy things happening with my body (I'll spare you the details, let's just say I could have made a lot of money being a wet nurse!), I finally found a doctor who figured out what was wrong with me (not mentally, they are still working on that!). I have a small "darkened mass" in my pituatary gland, which was discovered by an MRI, and a large mass in my uterus. The mass in my uterus is called a fibroid, and unfortunately it is rather massive! It takes up 95% of my uterine cavity. Essentially that means that I look like I am 6 months pregnant (Although I do look pretty good if I can say so myself!). Basically our best option (to relieve the bad pains I have and if we ever want to get pregnant) is to have it surgically removed, this is called a myometomy. Because of my "Baby's" size and location they must deliver it via a c-section. As I said before our due date is January 29, 2008. Why so long you ask? I have to give myself shots over the next 8 weeks so that I don't require a blood transfusion during surgery (that's comforting). With a C-section it will require me to be out of work 3-6 weeks, which for those of you who know my work-a-holic nature will be hell for me. My work has been fantastic through it all!

I will be keeping a journal of the process on the blog so you can all stay up to date. Thanks for reading.
