A Long Week full of Events

Okay...I realize I am so behind and I'm sorry but this busy life of mine just isn't slowing down any. I guess I should start off by telling everyone that I am pregnant. However, I went to the doctor yesterday at only five weeks and they were unable to see anything in my uterus:( There was a tiny dot but I think they were leaning more to it being fluid of some sort. I also had a lot of fluid elsewhere. The doc wanted to take a sample to see if it was blood or fluid. If it was blood then we know it's another tubal and off to the hospital we were going. If it was just fluid then we could go on and wait it out. He did the procedure that hurt really bad...I'm talking worse than labor or contractions...just ask my sister, Ashlye. I probably broke her hand squeezing it. He was able to get the needle in but couldn't draw anything out because he had it in the wrong spot. It hurt too bad to do it again so we quit. I go back tomorrow morning for another ultrasound. I guess we'll see what everything looks like then. Let me remind you that we took NO fertility this month because Josh was going to be gone on travel. We had two days that we could work with...well God was definitely on our side those two days. I just pray and hope it's not a tubal but I have a feeling as well as the doctors that it is. I'm not ready to undergo another surgery. It means no picking up Leighton for over a week, I'm trying to finish volleyball up and I missed another game last night which I hate doing, and I'm in the middle of my semester at school. So please just pray for a miracle. I've received many phone calls and texts and I do appreciate it, but I just don't feel like talking much about it. We went to see the fertility specialist in Eville last Thursday not knowing we were pregnant. We discussed our options and basically the only option we have is invitro. This will make sure that the embryo doesn't have to travel through the fallopian tubes and is straight in my uterus. However, it is estimated around 8,000 and we cannot afford that right now. Bless Ashlye's heart, she started crying and said "We will elope so you can have a baby" on the way home. I love you for that but I would NEVER let you do that!

Anyways, while we were in Eville we were able to get Leighton a lot of winter clothes and meet up with my best friend Sara, that I was attached at the hip with when we lived in Evansville. We met at Logans on the East side and had a late lunch. Did I mention it has been almost three years since I've seen her? Yikes, we both agreed that is way too long. Oh how I enjoyed her company. It made me realize how much I miss her in my life. I'm hoping she's going to get to come down for the famous Halloween costume party Pete is putting on...you can only imagine:) We were discussing school (we both graduate in May in Education) and we happened to sign up for our Teaching License Exam on the same date at the same place....How ironic? Anyways, I love you Sara and I miss you deeply. We've promised to see each other once a month and talk once a week or two.

My BFF - I miss you;(





Friday, we went to see Tay Tay (Taylor Wittmer) at IU. They played Michigan State. Leighton was being a turd and wouldn't even give her a hug. I try to email her since she doesn't get home much. Have I mentioned how proud my family is of her? She started babysitting for my sister, Carlye's kids years back. Her mother and Josh work together and her mom keeps Leighton for us some. She took him home with her on our wedding night...Thank You Nancy:) It was nice to get to sit and talk with her and her family after the game. We were the last ones out of the IU gym! Josh always says we can go to any gym and we are always the last ones to leave no matter where we are:) We love and miss you dearly Tay...We'll see you in a couple weeks! We are proud of you!







Then on Sunday, Bobbi, Nikki, Tara, Carlye, Ashlye and I went to the movies to see Night in Rodanthe. It was a good movie but sad because it reminded us all of Patrick and Tara's story. It was the first time in a long time all of us have done something. We have all grown up together and are all sisters. Our moms are very close. I love them all with all my heart and would do anything for them or their children. We shared a lot of laughs and giggles on old memories...of course I was too young to remember some and Nikki and I are airheads to know what they were talking about because Kailye went with us as well so the girls kept using weird names to try and confuse us all and of course, Nikki and I were the only ones to be confused. They always do that to me:) We agreed as well to start doing that more often. It was much needed.

Please pray for us as we deal with the road ahead of us. I will be able to post more tomorrow. I just think, "Wow, this is my fourth pregnancy!" I'm just ready to bring another baby into this world. I want to give Leighton a brother or a sister and everyone knows Josh wants like ten kids (Six really!) and I wouldn't mind it either, but the longer we walk on our journey, the more I'm wondering if that is even going to be an option. Jesus worked a miracle on us by letting us get pregnant in the first place with no fertility, but now I have to ask "why". I know we don't know anything for sure but I just "feel" that it is another ectopic (tubal) pregnancy. So please pray for God's will to take over and work and help us accept whatever decision He has in mind for us.
God Bless,
Lacy

Oh yeah...I almost forgot...I was tagged a few times...so here are a few things you probably all know about me. (I don't keep much a secret)

1. I live my life for God and my son. I hope that I can make Him proud and raise my son to be the way He wants him. We are all Children of God (COG:) so we should strive to please Him.
2. I am pregant...fourth pregnancy that may or may not be another ectopic:(
3. I am extremly OCD. Unlike my sister Ashlye, I am OCD on everything not just my house being clean.
4. I have four tattoos. One on my foot (5 stars: one for Carlye, Ashlye, me, and our twin brothers that didn't make it full term), A chinese symbol meaning "daughter". My mom got one on her shoulder that says "mother"...can you believe that? I would've never dreamed n a million years she would've done that. A Butterfly on my lower back...my very first. And Josh's initals on my belly...I'll spare you the pic that looks like a Road Map across the US:)



5. I coach seventh grade volleyball and am undefeated! yah...i'm so proud of my girls!
6. I'm a momma's girl. I slept with her until I was 12!!! oh yea...I also love taking pictures and scrapbooking when I have a free moment!
