I guess I haven’t blogged in a while. Sometimes i get really bored of it and have to take a few day of. I mean it’s not like I have something new and exciting happen every day, and I find that when people write about the same old stuff all the time to be boring. I enjoy reading others blogs, but when they become repetitive I get a little bored and not read them as much. I

Anyway, time for some updates. Yesterday Brad and were playing with Sophia and she took her very first 5 steps. We have been trying to encourage her to stand by herself, but usually she either starts crying or immediately sits on the floor. We tried teaching her how to walk between the two of us and all of a sudden she took 3 steps towards me and 2 towards Brad. It was so exciting to see my little girl doing it all by herself. I can’t believe how quickly my baby is growing up. Last year at this time I was 36 weeks pregnant praying that she would already come out. I was so tired of being pregnant and just wanted to see my baby. It’s amazing how quickly the year has passed and my girl is going to be one. I think that she will probably start walking on her own within a month or two. I think that because she crawled a little weird for a while that one of her legs is stronger than the other and makes it a little hard for her to balance. She just needs a little time and a little confidence.

Now onto something more serious. The month before I got pregnant with Sophia I went to get an ultrasound done to see what was causing pain on my right side. The doctors found a fairly large cyst on my right ovary. They said that they would keep an eye on it and see if it will go away by itself, or whether they will have to remove it. I was monitored all through my pregnancy and it never got smaller or bigger. Once Sophia was born I was supposed to go back for a check up and because we moved I never went in. A few months ago Brad and I had discussed the possibility of having another child in the near future and decided that if it happens than great, if not then just as well. After a few months had passed with no pregnancy I thought that I would see what’s going on. It seemed a little odd to me that when we were avoiding I got pregnant, and when we weren’t I didn’t. Once I started charting I realized just how much of the same symptoms I have now that I had when they found my cyst. I began paying very close attention to my body and realized that not only was it still there, but it hurts more now. I went in to see my doctor and he gave me a requisition to get an ultrasound. I also asked him about the possibility of the cyst affecting my fertility and he said that it’s unlikely, but once I did my own research I found out that in fact it could be a huge cause. Sometimes (actually most times) I don’t really trust what doctors have to say unless they specialize in that subject. A family doctor will not have the answers I need about fertility, but a fertility specialist will be more inclined and educated to give proper advice.

On my ultrasound records it said that it could possibly be endomantrioma, and  when  I brought that up with my doctor he said that when he did my pelvic exam he didn’t feel anything. I thought that was a pretty funny thing to say since the only way that endometriosis can be diagnosed is through a laparoscopy. But he did say that if they do find the cyst is still there I will immediately be referred to a fertility specialist and go from there. I can feel it, I know my body, I know it’s there. So I guess I will have to wait until the end of the month for an update.
