A couple of a bad weeks.

Well, I had  good first couple of weeks. I found out that I was pregnant back in September. :) Which we were  very suprised  because my husband Chris had just had a vasectomy reversal  in June. Yay, it worked!  I was only 5 weeks when I found out thinking I had a terrible stomach virus for about a week.  So, since I'm an ultrasound tech I used my much appreciated skills to keep up with my pregnancy.  I started scanning my self once a week to make sure that everything was in the right place and growing at the expected rate it  should.  About 7 weeks or 2 weeks ago everything changed.  I had scanned myself and knew that something wasn't right. I had a sac in the right place, but could not see a fetal pole or heart tones yet. I knew by scanning my other patients and text book images that I should be seeing that.  I was devasted.  This was on a Sunday so I called my doctor on Monday and he told me to come on in.  Chris and I met with him and since I used to work for him he said he trusted my work and for me to expect the worst.  We scheduled more lab work and an official ultrasound to confirm what I had already found on last Thursday.  The scan showed the same, a blighted ovum. (which is a empty gestational sac). So we scheduled the D&C.  I've cried and been confused on how all of this could happpen to us, but with the good Lords help I've gotten through it.  I had my procedure yesterday with Chris and my mom by my side.  I'm feeling good physically, but my heart is still healing.  I know that God has plans for us and he knew this was not the right time for us or the baby.  The bright side is that we know that Chris' surgery worked and we will get to try again.  We just have to wait 3 months.  Chris has been so supportive in all of this and I am so lucky to have him.  He's a very good man and I thank God that he's has been put in my life every day.  It's hard to find someone that loves you so much to go through what he has put himself through.  It's been a hard road, but the best is yet to come.
