Sigh........

[DianaB]

Well......I finally have the house all to myself!! Dae Lynn and her family left for Branson on Wednesday for a vacation with Damon's family. His Dad is paying for everything for them so they couldn't hardly turn him down. I guess Dae Lynn called Glen yesterday and someone ran into the side of her car. She has a really nice Avalon....it's several years old but still drives like a dream. UGH........

Glen left this morning to go on his dive trip to Beaver Lake. Feyn's family is all going because they are going to get certified.....all except Tammy and she'll have to wait until after the baby's born.

I originally thought that I'd spend the time relaxing and enjoying the peace and quiet but I've since decided to try and get some things done while everyone is gone and spend one day shopping or getting out. I invited Amy but she couldn't go so Jaci and I were thinking about going but I'm not sure if that's even going to work out. We'll see.

I got a call yesterday from Jaci and she was crying so hard that I couldn't make out what she was saying so I told her that I'd be right there. It ends up that she is pregnant but her hcg numbers aren't rising like they should be. She went to the dr on Mon. and had a blood test and sonogram and went back on Wed. The sonogram only showed a sac but nothing else so it didn't look good. She had called to find out what the hcg showed and called me after finding out that the numbers hadn't gone up as much as they should have (they should have doubled and they were far from doing that.) So she has been cautioned about what to do if she starts bleeding or cramping. I guess that they've been trying for awhile and just a while back she found out that her progesteron is low and was taking medicine. A lot of her friends and family are having babies and she's ready to have one of her own too. I know that her hormones are crazy right now but it's so hard to have her hurting.

THEN.......while the technicians were doing her sonogram they were talking to each other and Jaci became concerned. It turns out that her uterus is heart shaped. There are two upper lobes with a seam in the front. It turns out that that can cause miscarriages, infertility, or premature labor. So it looks like she's got quite a road ahead of her. Of course.....there's the off chance that it won't cause problems at all. They told her that it was most like inherited........but with sonograms being fairly modern we don't have any way of knowing if anyone else has had it. I did have a grandmother that had many miscarriages and my Dad was premature......but her other son was born at term and healthy. Needless to say, Jaci is VERY upset......Mama too. It's so hard to see your daughter hurt. It's a good thing that things worked out where I'm staying home this weekend because otherwise I'd have been canceling things to stay home with her. During this time my Baby needs her Mama. My heart just breaks for her.

How long to you get the place to yourself Diana? I'm home alone and will be until sometime this evening when the guys get off work. I haven't even dressed yet.

My heart is aching for Jaci. I hope she doesn't end up having problems with fertility. I've been through all that and it's not fun at all. Feeling so worthless at times wondering what I ever did for God to let this happen. Even now....late at night I shed a tear now and then that I never got to feel a baby grow inside me. Oh...I wouldn't trade my son for anything in the world, but still to this day I mourn the fact.

I will keep her in my prayers that she won't have any more problems and that she'll have all the beautiful babies she wants.

Thank you, Janet. Right now I'm encouraging her to not be worried about it. She's just beginning her journey and who knows.....it might not be as bad as it sounds. We'll worry when we know that there is something to worry about.

My Mother and one of her sisters had trouble getting pregnant. There was never a reason for why. I know that my Mom was trying to get pregnant when I was in high school but for whatever reason it never happened. With all of the meds my Dad was on it was probably a good thing. However, I would have loved to have had a sister!!

Janet, I'm home totally alone until sometime tomorrow, Saturday, Then Dae Lynn and the kids come home. Glen won't be home until probably late Sunday. If Jaci feels up to it (she's having trouble with morning sickness) we're going to go to some flea markets in a nearby town that has several. She enjoys doing that and it will help take her mind off of her problems.

[Janet]

Flea markets sound like a good idea. I'm not much of a shopper, but flea markets always have something hiding...just waiting to be found.

[DianaB]

Yep.....always looking for "treasures"!!! Jaci's MIL, Jan, is going to go with us. Glen and I used to double date with her and her husband. She's a very sweet woman and I'm happy that she's going with us. It should be a fun afternoon.

Jaci's still having morning sickness so it's hard to believe that the pregnancy isn't a good one. I guess we'll wait and see. She has another dr's appointment on Wednesday.

Maybe Jaci's levels will come up! I pray this baby hangs on, and you have a new grandchild soon!
