Happy New Year!

I thought I would entitle this Blog "Expect the Unexpected" because that seems to be the theme of my life now-a-days.

My current story starts back in October. Greg and I had been trying to get pregnant for the second time for over 2 years and were at the point of finally going for it - IVF or bust. While waiting for my next cycle to begin so we could start the "IVF protocol," I started experiencing all sorts of stomach problems, to the point I thought I had an ulcer. I eliminated flu, food poisening and everything else I could think of (I even changed my water filter on my sink convinced I was poisening myself with bacteria since it had been so long since my lazy btt had changed it) before calling my General Practioner. If it tells you how often I go see the doctor, it had been so long since I saw my G.P. that they had to treat me as a new patient!

Well a few days before my doctor's appointment, I happened to be in Wendys and got my first indication of the problem -- I could smell the oil in the deep fryer! That may not mean much to some of you, but super-spidey sense of smell in my world only means one thing - prego!

A quick trip to the Dollar store and a pregnancy test later, I confirmed my suspicions. We were pregnant and all on our own!
