Last night was TERRIBLE!!!!! Since I stayed at my mom's house, I slept with Dylan because he doesn't have a crib here. He has been getting sick. He was up crying or coughing every 15 to 30 minutes. At 4 a.m. I just lay there dying with a head ache and couldn't get back to sleep. A half an hour later I finally went in and asked mom if she had any Tylenol, which she didn't. UGH! But, being the sweet mom that she is, she let me lay in her bed and she went in with Dylan. I actually got 2 hours of uninterrupted sleep. Nice!
After my mom made a yummy breakfast, I gave her a foot zone and my headache actually went away. YAY! I took Braxton and Dylan over to JaNae's house to play. TJ and Tyra both stayed at their friend's houses last night. Shortly after I got there JaNae took me back to Rosemark. When they drew my blood it took forever to fill the vile. Apparently I haven't been drinking enough water lately! They said they should have the results by Monday. We've decided not to tell anyone else about it until we get the results back from the HCG tests. There is no point in telling anyone if it's not even a viable pregnancy. So here's to waiting! Please pray for us.

I'm PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!!
Last night I was counting the days from my last cycle and I realized that I was late. So first thing this morning I took a pregnancy test. It turned out positive, but the test expired in 2002 :) so I didn't know if it was trust worthy or not. I took a second one and it was a definite YES!
I broke down and cried in gratitude for such a wonderful blessing and then once I'd composed myself I started freaking out a little. I hurried and made an appointment with the doctor and rounded up some prenatal vitamins that I'd had. I found my progesterone cream and rubbed in on my tummy.
My mom was the first to know, of course! I can't keep ANYTHING from her. (I didn't tell Tommy yet because I wanted confirmation from the doctor first. No point in getting excited for no reason.) I met my mom at 1:15 p.m. at Rosemark and she went in with me. Sure enough the doctor also said I was pregnant!!! He prescribed me some Prometrium (which is Progesterone) and told me to take baby aspirin and some omega 3 with my prenatal vitamins. He said to come in tomorrow for an HCG blood test to see where my levels are and then to come in again for a second one on Monday to see if they have doubled. If so that will mean that this is a viable pregnancy.
Wow, after 13 1/2 years of never getting pregnant, this is a little CRAZY!!!! I guess we will see if it all works out though. I hate to get too excited because I just don't know. The only other time in my life that I've been pregnant was about 1 1/2 years after we got married. We had been trying for 10 months at the time, but I ended up miscarrying at 7 weeks. We've never had anything since................ until NOW!
After the doctors appointment we picked up my medicine and then went to my sister's house. When I walked in I gave JaNae a hug and then slipped the test into her view only. When she realized what it was she started jumping up and down screaming with excitement! It was so cute!! What a wonderful reaction. Of course all of her daughters were wondering what in the heck was going on.
This morning I asked Tommy if he thought it was weird that I was two days late. He said, "Lorraine, nothing is weird with you." I thought, "Yeah it is, especially when I am always 3 to 6 days EARLY. But I didn't say anything else.
Shortly after visiting my sister I met Tommy at the temple. When we were finished and were sitting in the Celestial room I said, "So, would it be a bad thing if I really WAS pregnant?" He said, "There's no way you are." Then I told him that I really was and that I had been to the doctor and they had confirmed it. He said, "Well, if you are... then it's a girl!" I thought that was so sweet.
We celebrated by eating out at Applebees! YUM!!! Then we went back to my parents house and my dad and Tommy gave me a blessing. It really gave me a lot of comfort. I am so grateful to have a father and a husband who hold the Priesthood. That means the world to me.
I am staying at my parent's house tonight because we were out so late and all of the kids were already asleep when we got here. Plus my mom wants me to give her a foot zone in the morning. But as for right now I have a terrible headache though, so I'm going to try and get some rest. What an AWESOME day and what a WONDERFUL surprise!!!!
