Hello and Happy New Year readers! I’d like to start my apologizing for just dropping off the blog scene without sharing what was going on in my life. I mean I could have at least put something on my Facebook page, right!?
Ten months ago, I received news that changed my life. This news served as the catalyst to my unplanned hiatus. During the last week of the month of March 2015 I found myself feeling uncharacteristically fatigued and experiencing flu-like symptoms. On the fifth day I decided to drag myself to urgent care. I sat in the waiting room on that dreary and blustery morning, already feeling a bit emotionally relieved at the prospect of uncovering the root of my misery.
In the exam room I explained the symptoms to the physician, she ordered some tests and I waited. She stepped back into the room after what felt like an eternity. “Well, she said, you’re not sick. You’re pregnant.”
Pregnant. How could that be possible?!
Two years ago I had taken medical measures to prevent conceiving another child. I called my husband, and due to the complexity of my situation my next stop was the ER.
Stay tuned for the rest of the story in Part 2 of this post
