So I had been trying to research what might have caused the breast tumor and it turns out that the type of birth control I was taking did have cases where patients had devoloped breast and ovarian tumors. So I decided to stop taking the pills for a few weeks while they tried to figure out if I had cancer.
On March 17th 2009 I went into madison Memorial Hospital in Rexburg to have my surgery. I was lucky to have friends that came to the hospital that morning to wish me well and my husband and mom were by my side the whole time. I think that was the most scared I had felt in my whole life. I had never had a surgery before in my life and I was terrified that I would have to lose my breasts or my life to cancer. We went in and the nurse put an IV in and gave me some nasua medicine and something else to help me not be nervous. Then they brought me to the operation room, I heard the DR making some kind of joke and the next thing I know I'm in another room, my throat hurts, my whole body hurts and I see Jason and my mom sleeping on either side of my hospital bed. Wow surgeries go by really fast when your the one under anesthisia!
Later that day I was released. That car ride home was horrible. Every second I thought I was going to throw up or pass out. The following week was a lot more difficult than I thought. The pain medicine made me kind of loopy and dizzy so I had to have help walking around. And poor Jason Had to help me with all my Hygeine needs, and I mean everything! Taking a shower, going to the bathroom, even brushing my hair and helping me put my clothes on. My Mom pretty much took over all the cooking and cleaning. We ate really good that week and we had fresh laundered clothes everyday!
After about a week I was almost back to normal and waiting to hear the results. Finally we got the phone call from the doctor. And it was NOT cancer!!! Hallelujah!!! it was a huge relief. I am so thankful that I only had to deal with surgery and one boob slightly smaller than the other. I am especially thankful that I didn't have cancer because very soon our life would change dramatically again....
So about 2 weeks after the surgery, I was laying in bed reading a book for school, when out of nowhere I had a strange thought. I hadn't had my period in over a month. for a few minutes I thought that it was due to my body going through surgery, but then I started to get this overwhelming feeling that I might be pregnant.
So I grabbed the pregnancy test we had gotten after our wedding and ran to the bathroom.
Of course it showed a negative sign. but then as i was washing my hands a faint little line started to appear making a tiny little + sign. I was totally shocked. I really wasnt expecting to see that. I felt so happy and so terrified. I went to the living room where Jason was and flat out told him, "Jason I'm pregnant"
in which he replied, " no your not"
then I showed him the test, I started crying and jason couldnt stop smiling.
And well you know the rest is history. My pregnancy went fairly well. went through the typical morning sickness and gained a whopping 50 pounds. But my beautiful baby girl came out just fine. So out of a scary situation feeling that 2009 would be a year of tears and painful medical procedure came a wonderful blessing of having a new addition to our family and getting the sweetest girl a mother could dream of.
This was taken a few days after surgery. Before I found out I was pregnant.
Guess what Your pregnant!!! Yes I took two tests because I thought the first might have been a mistake.
