Let's see. It is very hard to remember what happened when. Okay, we were trying really hard to get pregnant. I had been diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome or PCOS and had a lot of cysts on my ovaries and I wasn't ovulating. So anyway, after a year of the fertility medicine Clomid I still wasn't pregnant. I had also had a laparoscopy to bust the cysts on my ovaries to help get everything moving. Finally the doctor told me that I just wasn't going to get pregnant on my own. So at that point our options were IVF or adopt. Either way we needed to start saving money. I stopped all the drugs and we just didn't try anymore. The next month I was pregnant. I miscarried at 10 weeks. A couple months later I was pregnant again. I miscarried at 8 weeks on the Fourth of July. That next fall I trained to be a school bus driver and got my CDL license. In November I got pregnant again (with Griffen) and was sooooooooooo sick. I never actually threw up but I was queasy all the time. I lost a lot of weight really fast. Only to gain it back as the pregnancy progressed and then some. I had to quit driving the following May right before school let out cause I was having complications with Griffen. I was on partial bedrest for the rest of my pregnancy. Griffen was born, after a horrendous labor, on Aug.24, 2007.
