Homer, sickness, and GOOD NEWS!

So last week us Yagers, went down to Homer for a week! It was MUCH needed and MUCH fun! I was able to let Grammie hang out with Ruben, while I had girl time with Haley!! The weather was beautiful (except for that UNNEEDED ash 3 days before we went down) and sunny... I was able to enjoy some time alone on the beach, enjoying wonderful K-Bay Coffee! I was able to relax and not have a schedule, and Sandor was able to help his dad with little projects. It was really good to see Nagymama and Nagypapa, and eat some GOOD food. The Saturday before we left for home, we decided to drive to Seward with Terry and Jonnie. Unfortunately Sandor got REALLY sick, he was throwing up and had motion sickness to top it off! I felt really bad for him, he was miserable. We were 5 minutes out from getting back to Homer, and Ruben threw up!! WOW! Didn't know the Seward trip would be so um, adventuress?
Well poor Ruben, daddy got over his sickness in 24 hours, but we had a sick baby for a week! Poop and throw up are not fun times...

Since we've been back, Ruben is over his flu. He even has his ENORMOUS appetite back :) and is becoming more and more like a little boy! I CANNOT believe my baby man will be ONE in 2 1/2 months!!
I've been getting back to the normal routine, and Sandor is gearing up for summer work. He is making sure all his winter stuff is properly finished. Once he starts working for Scott, we wont see Sandor for the next 4 months!! That is hard, but a blessing. Sandor makes good money and gets to work with christian guys, so I try to not complain too much.

With summer coming, it means that Ruben and I will be out of town more often... more Homer trips and some to other destinations I haven't been to for a while. I told Jonnie my summer plans and she's all for it! I hope that I will have her company.

My medical deal is just about FINISHED!! Praise the Lord!! I had a blood draw today, and hopefully it will be my last one! The doctor said that if the HCG is out of my system, she does not mind me getting pregnant again!! YAY!! I was told I could have to wait up to a year, but that is not the case anymore, so Sandor and I decided to start soon :) Thanks for praying for me, it was been a learning to trust God experience.

God is SO good!!

*Oh! So there are no pictures because the computer that uploads them is kinda broke... so once that is fixed we will have some to show off!

I will make it...

Emotions never seem to get me on the roller coaster, but this whole miscarriage is taking me for a ride! I decided to take the tissue to Pathology and see what they could tell me. Well the results were NOT what I was expecting.
Monday I went in for my follow up appointment and was blown away with my results. My pregnancy was a molar pregnancy. My doctor explained to me what that means,
Molar pregnancy: An abnormally formed placenta that results in miscarriage. Also called a hydatidiform mole. Women with molar pregnancies will need blood work after they miscarry to make sure that all the abnormal placental tissue has been evacuated.
So that is where I am right now. If the tissue is not out I have a risk of developing cancer from it. I still have HCG in my body but it is going down, so that is a blessing. My HCG needs to be in the negative before this is completely over. I have a blood test on Friday, so pray that I'm in the negative. Unfortunately, once a woman has one molar pregnancy, the risk of another is very high. This is my second molar pregnancy, so I will mostly have more to come if Sandor and I want more kids.
My mind is still going through the facts over and over again. I am on edge it seems and I still haven't cried. I was really hoping that I would not have to deal with so much during this miscarriage, but I have. What is making my mind and heart feel so heavy is knowing this is not done. This will not be done until Sandor and I are done having children! If I miscarry again in the future I will have to have a DNC for every one, because it's the defected tissue that is producing the HCG, so my body will not let go of it naturally. WOW! What a thing to accept when all you've wanted in life was tons of kids!
So if you could please pray for me!! I know that God is control and I have faith that He will take care of me, but I still have emotions and those are what need prayer.

On another note, my parents have been stuck in MEXICO!! So Ellie has been staying with Sandor and I since Friday. That has been going very well :) But they should be back early Friday morning. I'm very anxious to see them.

Ruben is growing HUGE!! Last Wednesday he weighed in at 22lbs and 28 3/4 inches long!!! He is almost half of my height and he'll be 9 months in 10 days...anything a little wrong with that?!? I love watching him grow and learn new things. He is starting the 'I want Mama all the time' stage! Some times its good, yet when I'm trying to get things done its not so cute.

Sandor has his CDL testing tomorrow, pray he gets it! I think that he will, he has it down and hopefully he is confident :) I'll let you know how it goes.

We will be in Homer next week. I cannot wait. I hope that the weather is good. Sandor and I got a bike trailer for a GREAT deal, so we want to try it out.
