First.. Lots of info, TMI

Well lets talk a little about before Cadence.

In 2010 I miscarried, this was a few months before our wedding.. At first I was like no this isn't supposed to happen this way Im getting married in 9 months not supposed to have a baby.. But then the more  I thought about it I thought wait a second I would much rather have a baby then a wedding.. I mean I could skip the idea I had about a big wedding and just to a small simple wedding, and have an adorable baby in few months.. So the next days after that I was getting more excited about the baby then anything and I told my family what was going on and surprisingly they weren't mad they were excited about a new Baby! Well that Monday I had made a dr app. to have everything looked at and figured out. At that time I would have been about 12 weeks. Well I had no clue what I was in for I had no idea what to expect, because I thought that I was pregnant and that was that.

I wasnt in there long, and the my dr. at the time said welp no heart beat.. And I just looked at him, like what do you mean? He said well you are going to have a miscarriage, and I was shocked I had no idea what that was or what was going to happen. The doctor said you should be about 12 weeks and the fetus stopped growing around 6 weeks. He said well you can do it natural or we can schedule you for surgery and do a D&C. I just decided to let nature take its course and do what I had to. Within three days I had fully miscarried, and found myself in the ER I started to hemorrhage. Scared and no knowing what to do, the doctor there told me that they would call my current OB and have him come in. Well he set everything up for me to have a blood transfusion because I had lost so much blood. Thank goodness I didnt have to have one after all. But the next days were terrible, all I did was cry I remember waking up in the middle of the night screaming and crying. Kale would do everything he could do but my anxiety was too much. As the weeks went on things got better and the pain wasn't as bad anymore.

I had blood taken and sent out to figure out what happened. Came back that I have a blood disorder called  “Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase" or MTHFR. Having MTHFR means that when I get pregnant my blood clots and cuts off blood to the baby. Doctor said simple fix and it could be prevented by a low dose baby aspirin. So now I take baby aspirin once daily no bad just like taking vitamins. 

In December 2011 I was still taking the baby aspirin daily and wouldn't you know I was pregnant. I didn't anyone yet but I knew on Christmas day. Well a couple weeks later I told my parents and Kale's parents....
