i have a what?!?

i've been wanting to post 
for a long time
but 
my sister was here
then we went back to school
and 
i only had one thing 
i really wanted to post about
and 
i told my husband i would wait...
but it was soooo hard
rewind to august 4
by persuasion from kenneth
i bought a box
peed on a stick
and saw

then 
kenneth bought me these
notice they are non gender specific?
then the doctor 
gave me this 
along with the news
that 
i might be high risk
excuse me?!?
can't you just call me special?
so
after crying 
for days
and thinking
what was wrong with me
i got more of
 these


and after waiting
what seemed like forever
i found out
that i have a 
or 
possibly 
a
they aren't quite sure because 
my uterus has already started to expand
because i got a baby in there!!!!
both conditions happen in only 20-33% of women
and what it means
is my uterus is split
tmi?
well stop reading
i'm trying to be honest and real
and
provide support for those who went through
or may be going through
the anxiety driven weeks i've been through
what does this mean for the baby?
it means
i am at a slightly higher risk to deliver preterm
(before 37 weeks)
i more than likely will have a c-section
due to a breech or transverse baby
and
i will get to see my doc
alot more than any pregnant woman would want to!
but i'm excited about more pictures and more chances to hear my babies heartbeat!
go ahead and dr. google the terms!
it will scare you to death
it did me
now
breathe
and 
try to remain positive
we are!
my baby has a strong heartbeat
fluid levels look great
and 
the doc said overall my pregnancy is looking 
good
now
as i always promise to do
and fail multiple times
i will post more
especially since i know i am not the only one who has this condition
i am not considering myself high risk
just
special
my favorite ultrasound shot 
because you see the heartbeat too!
keep us in your prayers 
and all my other pregnant friends out there!
that we will welcome 
a
healthy baby boy
or girl
not much earlier 
than 
april 9, 2011
