Albright baby 2.0!

We are so excited to announce that baby Albright 2.0 will be here sometime in December 2013!
I can't describe the joy I felt when I took that pregnancy test as my heart was racing to see what it would read.  Finally the moment came "pregnant"!  I ran down stairs got a piece of paper and a pen and wrote Cory a note "Whoops we did it again!".  Set the test on the note and tried to wait for Cory to wake up.  I finally had to tell him to wake up because I couldn't wait to share the excitement with him. 

Well with all the excited and hugs I couldn't help but starting not feeling good.  It was a Tuesday so I had class and had to take Ollie to my moms.  Of course I couldn't keep it from my mom, so Ollie wore a shirt saying "Big Brother".  She was even more happy then I pictured her being.  But she could tell something was wrong by the look on my face.  She was very supportive and told me "your body is already changing just don't worry." I left for class and tried to just be happy and thankful.  Class started and I couldn't not think about it any longer! This sharp unfamiliar feeling in my lower side was all that was on my mind.  The pain was super sharp on my right side, shot into me, and would last for about a minute then left.  It would repeat about every 3-5 minutes.   I started thinking how I felt when I found out I was pregnant with Ollie and couldn't remember anything that felt like this.  I couldn't remember feeling any feeling like this period! Of course my happy, joyful, excited feeling went to how can this be...what can this be!
 That day consisted of me texting my close friend (Chelsey) and calling Cory just fearful of what could be wrong the day we just found out I was pregnant.  They couldn't have been more supportive and gave me so much hope and positive thoughts. 

It felt like forever but I finally got to see my OBGYN at 5 weeks.  I told her the sharp, painful, weird feeling I had been feeling.  She seemed so hopeful and like everything sounded normal.  She then took us to the next room where we were about to see (hopefully) a tiny baby sac starting.  Well she started looking and the room was quiet as can be as Cory and I hoped and looked at a picture that didnt make much sense to us.  Then my dr goes "Well...." (felt like 10 minutes passed) "This doesn't look good, I am not finding anything and not liking what I see".  I looked at Cory and could tell he just wanted to jump up and hug me as both our hearts dropped.  She went on to tell us it was still early so not to give up and we will start blood work.  Even though it was only 5 weeks and we didn't want to tell many we had our closest friends and family praying for us and baby 2.0.  I cried and cried and was angry with God but tried to understand His doing and trust Him.  The hardest part was it was Oliver's 2nd birthday that day so I just needed to remember how blessed I was already to have a sweet beautiful little boy.
We had another appointment two days later for more blood working AND  more waiting (worst part
)! I could feel the prayers going up because God presence was so strong in our house that week. 

My OBGYN thought I could have an ectopic pregnancy.  Ectopic pregnancy: A pregnancy that is not in the uterus. The fertilized egg settles and grows in any location other than the inner lining of the uterus. The large majority (95%) of ectopic pregnancies occur in the Fallopian tube. However, they can occur in other locations, such as the ovary, cervix, and abdominal cavity.

 Well Friday came and I was going to get more blood taken.  She told us she would plan for us to come back in Wednesday for another scan so to pray and have faith we would see a sac.  Well she called me later that day with wonderful news that the thing she was testing had increased more then she could have ever wished.  We could already feel the prayer working and that God had done a miracle with me and baby!  FINALLY Wednesday felt like we had been waiting for months.  I know my heart was beating faster than ever and Cory was holding on tight to the chair he was sitting in.  As soon as the picture came up on the screen what was black all over the week before had a beautiful (yes beautiful) baby sac!!! God is good isn't He! I couldn't of asked for a better support group or praying family.  We have heard the heart beat and have got to see another great photo of baby 2.0 since then. 

I am so thankful for this new chapter in our lives and couldn't be happier! (I think I speak for the whole family)

I have been getting lots of questions about foster too.  We still want to and have a heart for our future foster children.  We have more classes and training to go through.  We will really be pushing to further our goal of becoming a foster home soon after baby 2.0 gets here.  Thanks for asking and all the support.
