 I am a Catholic SAHM to two kids and three babies in Heaven. I like to write about Catholicism, homemaking, being a Mom, living with three mental disorders, and the like. (more?)

Wow, y’all. I’m a little embarrassed by the outpouring of prayers, well wishes, and support from my last post. Right after I posted that post, I thought “Wow, this is kind of heavy, especially after being gone for a while. Perhaps I should talk about this at a later time.” I am glad that [...] Come apart into a desert place, and rest a little. ~ Mark 6:31 As I’m sure you’ve noticed, it’s been a few weeks since my last update. There have been some struggles in my life, to put it mildly. As one could expect, two back-to-back miscarriages caught with me, mentally [...] We had a blast on our vacation. We went to Washington state! The last time I was there was on a highschool orchestra tour. It was nice to explore without a rigid schedule or chaperone. Our agenda was simple: relax. We did just that. We did take in some sights, checked out the local [...] It’s still a race between what will happen first: finishing our house or going on our vacation. We received some very encouraging news from a neighbor of ours who is a builder about just what we need to have completed to pass the last inspection. It’s a lot less than what we were expecting [...] Yesterday afternoon, I received a call from my doctor’s office. The results of the thrombophilia panel finally came in. And incredibly, it revealed the cause of the miscarriages: Factor V Leiden. I was (and still am) in total shock. After the second miscarriage, I talked with my parents about their respective family histories, whether [...] I know, I’ve said that about the house for the last two weeks. We are making much progress. Yesterday we managed to get the kitchen and the master suite move-in ready. We’re busy working on installing trim throughout the rest of the house – and that’s it. The basement still needs drywall, but when [...] (We’re still not moved in to the new house yet … I think if we had about 5 extra men we could finish the house in 1-2 days, but since it’s just myself, Greg, and his Dad, it’s slow going). The results of my blood work are slowly trickling in. My thyroid is practically [...] I am feeling worn out these days. Tomorrow is my post-op appointment with my doctor, and I’m ready to get the bloodwork going. We have a small list of possibilities for this miscarriage, and whether or not I have a bloodclotting disorder is next up on the chopping block. Maybe it’s the nerd in [...] The biggest difference between this miscarriage (technically a missed miscarriage) and the natural miscarriages (as in, not needing a D&C) is the hormonal crash. I suppose with my first two losses, the crash was not as shocking to my system. This time around, it’s insanity. I have horrible headaches almost every day. I have [...] I wanted to let you all know that the D&C went quite well yesterday. The nurses were all spectacular, very sympathetic and compassionate towards me and Greg. The anesthesiologist who put me under was the same doctor who gave me my epidural for Elise. I was happy that he was putting me under, because [...] |
