>>TEN THINGS ABOUT MY PREGNANCY (AND ADOPTION)

1. While in the middle of our adoption process, I found out I was pregnant.

2. I had surgery when I was 4 weeks pregnant. I had no idea I was pregnant, the pregnancy test I took at the hospital the day of surgery was negative....and to boot, the surgery was to help me get pregnant. (We're still paying off that surgery that was apparently not needed at all)


3. I gained 12 whopping pounds during my entire pregnancy. I'm not saying that to brag, but more to say that I was pretty stressed out.


4. I was 27.5 weeks pregnant when Clover was born.


5. Clover spent 2 months in the NICU. I may be one of the few moms that was in the NICU with her new baby while also pregnant.


6. My doctor was actually worried about my pregnancy and the growth of the baby. Towards the end of my pregnancy, I had to get weekly stress tests and ultrasounds done (some were done in Billings where I was with Clover and others I would travel to Thermopolis for).


7. 10 days after Clover was discharged from the NICU, I went into early labor (5 weeks early). I was flown back to Billings, MT for the delivery. 


8. Curtis missed the birth of Henry. I was pretty much all alone (just me and nurse) while I was in labor, and then Henry ended up being born emergency c-section. Curtis was driving (with Clover) from Wyoming to Billings during all of this.


9. Henry spent 2 weeks in the NICU.


10. Curtis and I were married 10 years before having our 2 little miracles.
