All about us!

Well, the biggest things are on the side bar to your left, but there's a lot left to know about me. I am 22 years old. My son is almost 22 months old. My husband is 35 (or will be Feb. 8th) so I that means I got pregnant at the ripe 'ol age of 19. Do I regret it? No way. Are there things I wish I could do, of course. But I love my son and husband more than life. I wouldn't change a thing. I have always (well since I started dating around the age of 14) dated older men. My first relationship was at age 14 with an 18 year old and it lasted about 3 years.I met Eric one day after my eighteenth birthday. He was very turned off by the age difference. Can you believe I pursued him? It took him eleven months to commit to me. We were friends first and that was hard on me. I fell in love with him long before he fell in love with me, and I knew I would do anything to be with him. Here we are 4 years later, with an almost 2 year old. Our son's name is Maddox and he is the light of our lives! He is such a whirlwind to say the least! Unless he's asleep or his favorite show is on, he never stops! He's what I call my "little toddler tornado."

Eric is in the Army, like I mentioned in my "about me" section. He is an officer and it can be grueling at times. Right now he is finishing up his last school (for now) and let me tell you he is stressed to the max and it makes a very cranky hubby. We will be PCS'ing  (moving) very soon (next month actually) to Washington.. we just have a lot on our plates. But we will make it, we always do!

Last but not least - when Maddox was about 4-5 months old I had a horrible pain in my left side.. I had no idea what it was.. but it was excruciating. I took advil and cried. I thought my period was coming. The next day I was to see my general care doctor and he sent me for an ultrasound. Sure enough a cyst had ruptured and was collapsing as the u/s was being performed. At the time we had no idea I had PCOS, we thought it was a fluke. But then it started happening over and over again. So, I went on the pill. We had no intentions of having another baby anytime soon so why not? Well as Maddox got older, we decided we wanted to try for number two. We tried, but I kept have these pains. So I went to an Ob/gyn and had another u/s to find two huge cysts filled with fluid and also tissue. This is when I was diagnosed w/ PCOS. I had to have surgery. Maddox's old c-section scar was opened up and they were removed this past Sept. I went on BC for a month and then we were able to start trying again. No luck again. I went back to my gyn and was put on Clomid. On NYE I had the worst pain OF MY LIFE. FElT like labor - literally. Well an u/s was done and another cyst had ruptured and I had lots of fluid/blood in my abdomen and another 4cm cyst on the left side. I was given pain meds and sent home.On the 4th of January I went back to my OB and he said I need to see an RE (a Reproductive Endocrinologist) they are infertility doctors. So he referred me to a friend of his and I went this past Wednesday and had another u/s which showed a lemon sized cyst on my left ovary. We chose to aspirate it because no medical assistance can be done w/ a cyst like that. It was no big deal just a poke and it was neat to see the cyst shrink. Anyway, I go back Monday - he is taking this seriously and hopefully I can get pregnant this month!!! If not he will help me find a good RE in Washington!
