Drum roll please.....................
And the results are.................
POSITIVE!
I'M FINALLY PREGNANT!
The battle against cancer was grueling and the affects of chemo were almost unbearable. But there was a handful of side affects that I gladly accepted. We made the decision to put my body into menopause during chemotherapy to protect my eggs and give me a chance at getting pregnant in the future. The doctors were hopeful that it would work, but not positive. We have been trying to get pregnant for a while now and it has been a source of disappointment and frustration that is was proving to be so difficult-- Especially when it was very easy to get pregnant with my first two. We were just starting to look into adoption when we found out I was pregnant. I am only 5 weeks along and common sense would tell me that it is much too early to broadcast the news. But I've never been one to keep a secret...it's just too hard when I'm so happy and excited. Besides, I figure the added prayers from friends and family could only help. My hormone levels are high and I'm already sick, both good signs that I can sustain the pregnancy. I'm so incredibly excited. Mason put it best when we told him the news. He said, "Mom, I'm so excited. It's going to hurt a lot, but it's the best gift."
Wow, I just love my kids, and can't wait to have another special little spirit join our family.

Those helped right before bed. But I am sure you know what to do cause it's your 3rd. :) Hope the sickness goes away for you soon, but I am told it's worth it. :)
