I met my [[now]] husband in a bar October 2nd, 2010. I had met his sister a week or so prior at a friends house when she came to pick up her 2 boys. At the bar that night, she commented on my shirt and then talked to me for a bit then went back to conversation with her friends. A little while later, she was coming up to me to introduce her brother-a handsome man with brown hair and an auburn goatee, the same color as my hair [[should have been before dying it darker]] and the most beautiful blue eyes I'd ever seen. At that point in time, I had no idea that he'd be the person that would steal my heart. He bought me a beer, put his arm around me and from that day forward, showed me how to appreciate life through little things, and never left my side. I made the leap to move in with him November 14th, 2010-We borrowed my step dads truck and we followed my mom to Boise, ID where we met up with my brother, his girlfriend, my sister and her 9mo old son and packed and moved everything from the house I lived in with roommates into the truck. That was when everything got real.
We got the first positive pregnancy test January 7th, 2011... we were getting ready to go out to see our favorite local band play when the test came up positive. Talk about a shock. I couldn't even breathe at first. I never thought it would happen. Reason being, "T" had thyroid cancer as a child and went through surgery and radiation to have it removed. There should have been a slim to none chance of us getting pregnant. Talk about defying odds! We told the parents and were going to wait to start telling friends. It got leaked to FaceBook within 24hrs. So, there it was... broadcasted we were pregnant to the public. I had to go to Challis, ID to house sit for my mom while they went out of town for doctor appointments that week. I went bowling for women's league with my mom Thursday, the night before I was to head back to Idaho Falls. I woke up from taking a nap, and started spotting. Didn't really think much of it until the bleeding got worse on Friday. I booked it back to Idaho Falls, and waited until 6pm when "T" got off from work. We went to ER and were told it was a miscarriage. January 14th, the bleeding got remarkably worse, cramps started... and "being pregnant" was over.
Little did we know, 11 days later we were pregnant again. Before we "found out"... "T" lost his job, had a phone interview for Cummins Rocky Mountain in Wyoming on my birthday [[beginning of Feb]] and next thing we knew we were headed out to Wyoming to check out the area. The job was basically in the bag before we left Wyoming, but it was "unofficial"... We got back to Idaho, "T" and I packed up our entire house [[by ourselves]], moved our stuff to storage [[by ourselves]] and then headed to Challis and Boise to spend the last few weeks with family and friends before making the voyage out of state. The "offer letter" came in the mail that said his start date was March 28th, 2011. The last Monday that we were in Idaho, we went to the court house to make "us" "official". March 21st, I because a Mrs :) March 22nd, we picked up our stuff, went back to Idaho Falls with our doggies and loaded our storage unit into a Uhaul, ate dinner and left for Dillon, MT where we stayed the night. Now, during this "move"... I slipped and fell on the ice HARD, twisted my ankle, lifted FAR MORE than 30lbs... We fondly called our baby "Hulk"-because once we found out we WERE pregnant, we'd experienced more than that baby deserved to withstand.
"T's" insurance started April 1st. Our first baby appointment was April 27th to confirm. The second appointment was May 29th, which told us we were a whopping 14w3d pregnant and we got our first and only set of pictures of our Hulk baby. Our third appointment was set for June 17th, which was when we were supposed to find out what the baby was. But we found out wayyy before hand.
