On that note, I have decided I need to get back into blogging.
Per my last post I married my best friend on November 10, 2012. Here are just a few pictures our amazing photographer took.

On December 10th, exactly 1 month after our wedding I found out I was pregnant. The look on Kevin's face when I told him was well in a word, SHOCK. Let me start with saying that my husband had a reversal surgery from a vasectomy in July and the doctor told us it would take 6 months to a year to work. If you can do math....it was 4.
On December 12th I started bleeding. I called my doctor and upon examination was told that I was probably miscarrying. Devastation was a prominent feeling between Kevin and myself. I went for HCG testing several times over the course of the next week. Well my HCG dropped but then spiked. I had a sonogram that showed nothing, but the doctors said that it wasn't uncommon.
December 27th I started experiencing pain in my pelvic region. Kevin and I went to the hospital and the docs said there was no signs of ectopic and I looked like I was measuring 4 weeks instead of 7. Needless to say our hopes were renewed that we would have a healthy baby.
January 3rd we went to my OB/GYN for a follow up. The doctor did a sonogram and found the yolk sac, but no fetal pole. The pregnancy was next to my right ovary. NOT in the place it was supposed to be.
To say that I experienced the complete and utter devastation feeling again would be accurate. I couldn't breathe and all I could do was cry, while my husband held my hand and asked questions.
It was advised that I receive Methotrexate. It was said that it would be the best route to take since we want children. I got the shot on January 3rd.
On January 12th, while watching the Ravens vs. Broncos at a friends house.....I started feeling discomfort. I seriously thought it was just a gas bubble and it would pass. By the time we got home I was doubled over and laying on the bed with tears streaming down my face. Kevin took one look at me, told me to put my shoes on, that we were going to the hospital.
January 13th at approximately 4 a.m. I had emergency surgery for an ectopic rupture. They had to remove my right tube. I don't really recall a whole lot from Jan 12-14th. The next 5 weeks have been horrible.
I got an infection on my left side at one of the incision sites. Cellulitis on my left side. I can't sit for long periods of time, lay on my stomach or roll over without pain. I've had 3 rounds of antibiotics. I have been out of work since the surgery. Thank god I have FMLA coverage and disability insurance.
I thank GOD everyday for my husband. He has been the most amazing, supportive, caring person. He has been so strong in the face of the unknown. He has held my hand and told me it will be okay. He has never complained. I am forever grateful for him and his love. No newlywed couple should experience the pain or loss we have, however I will say that this has brought us closer.
We'll try again.....but for now I am just going to appreciate the man that I fell in love with.
