A Much Needed Date Night

Bryan and I haven't been out anywhere alone in probably six months. We weren't even able to celebrate our anniversary together in November because Bryan was in Wyoming while I was still back in Texas. So last Saturday night we got dressed up, Bryan attempted to cut his hair(because I felt to lazy at that moment to cut it) and we were able to go to dinner together. It doesn't sound too exciting, but was a big treat to us. We decided on a place called Humphrey's, mainly because Bryan was wanting a big juicy steak so bad. We got seated to only realize that we were sitting right beside a table of six redneck cowboys. They were talking so loud and using such offensive language that we asked the waitress to move us to a different table. She apologized and seated us in the family section. She also said that the group had been there for a while and were probably pretty hammered. We ordered really great food and I even orderd a Wyoming Salad which reminded me of home. It had sirloin and fried okra with lots of other fixings that made me think of East Texas. We left and were going to see a movie, but decided to rent a couple instead. Avery ended staying the night with ReeRee, but Scarlett wasn't having it. We got her home where she was put right to bed and spent the rest of the night vegging and watching a movie. The time that I spend with Bryan at this point in our marriage is so precious to me, because it isn't as much as we would like. You are my best friend, my home , my family and I loved spending the weekend with you baby.

Not The News I Wanted

I had a procedure done on Wednesday called a hysterosalpingogram. This is and xray exam done by a radiologist where he injects dye into my cervix to the uterine cavity. This was done to see if my fallopian tubes were open. If they are open the dye flows into the tubes and spills out into the abdominal cavity. Well, I found out a couple of things. First I have what is called a bicornuate (heartshaped) uterus. The doctor thought that by the way half of my uterus looked, because it is split in two, that only one of my fallopian tubes probably every has been functional. The tube that was open and allowed me to get pregnant is now totally closed because of scar tissue and adhesions, probably from my csections. So, basically the doctor told me that I should be very thankful to have the two children that I did have and that they were miracles. The heartshaped uterus really doesn't affect most women from getting pregnant, but lots of them end up going into preterm labor, having miscarriages or having breach babies because the baby is growing on one side and there is not enough room for them to grow there. Avery was a breach baby, therefore I had a csection. Anyway, I was pretty devastated when I found this out and have been a bit down the last couple of days. I also feel that I would be so ungrateful to my Heavenly Father to not be so thankful to have been able to have the two sweet daughters that we have been blessed to have. As I got dressed after the procedure, I kept thinking of a dear friend I have who is unable to have children and what heartache she has. Her only sister has been blessed with four kids and I'm sure the whole infertility process has been devastating. My heart goes out to her. I am trying to understand and accept these new circumstances and be thankful for my little family.
