I was sick for about 2 weeks. I thought I had that horrible flu that was going around. There were even death of the elderly because of this flu. I hadn't eaten in two weeks and could not get off the couch. Jer came home from work and was like, " we are taking you in". When we first got there they saw how weak and worn I was they were going to admit me to the er for my appendix. I began telling them it had been going on for weeks so they ruled that out. They then took me back right away and took about 12 things of blood. Jer and I were just waiting... They asked if they could run a pregnancy test with my blood I said no problem I have taking about 10 at home ones in the past 4 weeks because I had missed my period and I was having the stomach pain. But they all came back negative. We were waiting what felt like forever and I still remember we had a male doctor and he came in and he said, " well we know whats wrong. You are pregnant. congratulations." My mouth dropped and so did Jers then we just smiled and laughed. My pregnancy with Brody was wonderful.... I ended up moving in with my mom and dad because Jer was gone in the army and I hated to be alone. Nothing like a little mother love to help you prepare for a baby. Then jer got home in August. We moved in to a town house and then 4 days later we welcomed Brody Alan Tarbox in to our lives. He was 8 lb 10 oz. 22 in, after 7 hours of labor. I did it with out medication and with the support of my wonderful husband and mother. My in-laws were in the waiting room. It was the most amazing moment in my life when they handed me my baby boy. I have never loved anything more in my life. I get tears in my eyes just thinking about it.... He was perfect and he came from me. Now that little boy is 3. Were did that time go? I remember every step , every first word. I was so luck to be a stay at home mom and never miss any of that. Brody is crazy, outgoing and very loving. It has been an amazing journey and I can't wait to see the man he will grow to be. ( not too fast I hope).
