Emotional Roller Coaster


So, you would think Jon's wreck would be enough for us to take on right now. I guess not. He went back to work the Monday following the accident to find that his perfectly fine car (he was in his work van in the wreck) had the F word spray painted all over it. I don't understand vandalizing other people's property.

Then, the past 2 weeks I have been having some abdominal pain. I didn't think much of it until the past few nights when I have been waking up crying. Jon insisted that I go to the doctor tonight. I explain to the doctor where the pain is and that I've had an ovarian cyst and this pain is very similar. He decided to get a urine sample and came back and told me that I didn't have any kind of bladder infection but he asked when my last period was. I told him almost 4 weeks ago and he said "well, I did a pregnancy test.........................................and you're PREGNANT." There was a long period of silence and i broke out in tears and asked if he was kidding. I have been taking birth control, I did miss a couple of pills, and I thought there was no way. So, if that was not a big enough shock he explained to us that he thought I was having pain because it was and ectopic/tubal pregnancy (this is when the baby is in your fallopian tube rather than your uterus). He emphasized that it was life-threatening and he said we should go to the ER. After talking to my mom and her calling a dr, we headed to the ER. After 2 hours of blood tests, ultrasounds, and another urine test the doctor told us that everything looked good, but that he wanted to run some additional tests on Monday. Oh my goodness.......we have only been married 2 months, and I am 4 weeks along. We have cried so many tears tonight, but are definitely happy and excited now.
