Updates!

So it's been FOREVER since I updated our blog...so here goes.

We found out April 28th (the day before my finals of my senior year in my undergrad) that we were finally expecting again! It only took 8 months of trying and crying. After losing two pregnancies (we miscarried again in March) we didn't tell a soul until we were 10 weeks into the pregnancy and had an ultrasound to show a beating heart. So on May 8th, my college graduation, neither my parents or Drew's parents knew that we were expecting. It was a week or so later that we spilled the beans.

Anyway, I've been doing fine. I wasn't really sick at all and this has been a super easy pregnancy; good thing or I'd never do it again and Heavenly Father knows that!

On August 6th, my mom and I were on our way to Mesa, AZ for my best friend, Jen Grundberg's (now Ashley) wedding. We were rear ended in Las Vegas and I was taken to the hospital to check on the baby. I was about 19 weeks pregnant then. Other than me freaking out that I might lose the baby, everyone was okay.

A week later on August 13th Drew and I had our ultrasound to find out the baby's gender. The names we had picked out were Ashlynn Kay, for a girl and Aidan Michael for a boy... well... He's a boy through and through!

So Aidan Michael is on his way!!!

We did have another scare last night however. Around 3pm, I got home from working at the tool shop (for architecture students) and felt all wet. So I went into the bathroom and sure enough, I'd leaked through my pants! Gross! I told Drew (who was amazing up at that moment...he works nights) and we called our OB. They told us to go to the hospital and straight to Labor and Delivery. I got there and they immedately check me to see if my 'waters' had ruptured and if I was dialated. I didn't rupture, but I am dialated to 1cm and I am having contractions (which I can't feel so far).

So they monitored me until about 6pm and checked me again. Still dialated to 1cm but my contractions had slowed (to what I don't know). They released me and told me if I feel the contractions or if I have any sharpe pains to come right back in. By the way, I'm 28-29 weeks (depending on my paper due date or my measured due date) as of right now. I wasn't dialted on August 6th so this has me a bit worried, but I think everything will be okay.

We have another ultrasound scheduled btween 32-34 weeks to check on Aidan's kidneys (they were dialated on the August 13th ultrasound and the docs want it checked again before birth).
