The fact that I happened to get pregnant on my own without intervention of fertility medication is a miracle in itself. God definitely had his had in this one from the beginning (I didn't doubt this one bit anyway). My pregnancy with Harper was smooth sailing compared to this one. I threw up with Harper....a lot, but no gestational diabetes, no high blood pressure, nothing!<br />
So onto this story....(you can read about the beginning of our TTC journey with Sutton <a href="http://mckeefamilylife.blogspot.com/2014/09/our-ttc-journey-update.html" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="http://mckeefamilylife.blogspot.com/2015/01/playing-catch-up.html" target="_blank">here</a>)<br />
Like I wrote in my last post, I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes in January. This would explain why I felt so horrible all of the time. Once I changed my diet and started taking glyburide, I felt SO much better. I was seeing my OB Dr. Lampkin every Monday and the maternal-fetal medicine doctor Dr. Atkinson every Thursday. Sutton was doing well during every ultrasound, but she didn't behave during the non-stress tests. With fetal movement, her heart rate is supposed to increase. Instead, her heart beat was staying the same. At every appointment I was reassured by ultrasound that she was okay. She was measuring big, but she was healthy and active. I was having contractions but nothing consistent.<br />
During my non stress test on February 5th, Dr. Lampkin and Dr. Atkinson both agreed I needed to have another non stress test at the hospital that coming Saturday. What should have been 20 minutes of monitoring turned into 3 hours. Sutton wasn't moving like she should and I was having contractions 3-6 minutes apart. After another ultrasound, Sutton looked healthy and active so I went home. Now I was scheduled to have non stress tests twice a week with Dr. Atkinson instead of once a week.<br />
On February 13th. I had been in severe pain the couple of weeks prior in my hip and leg, and it was only getting worse. My mom flew in on the 11th to help out since I was in such bad shape. I could barely get out of bed, and walking was almost out of the question. I was hurting so bad I was unable to eat or drink much. I called Dr. Lampkin's office, and they had me go to labor and delivery at the hospital to be monitored and received IV fluids. The nurse I had said several times "You're only 33 weeks. It's not like they will deliver your baby just because you're in pain." If I was able to move I may have high fived her in the face...with a chair. I was scheduled to go back on the 14th to the hospital for another non stress test and receive steroid shots for Sutton's lungs, but since I had just been there the day before, I stayed home since I had an appointment scheduled with Dr. Atkinson on Monday.<br />
Fast forward to Monday, February 16th. My appointment with Dr. Atkinson started out with a non stress test like normal. Of course, Sutton's heart rate wasn't accelerating like it was supposed to. I had another ultrasound which showed she was healthy and active. Dr. Atkinson decided just to play it safe, I needed to go to antepartum at the hospital for 24 hours monitoring. Mom and I headed over there, and I called Michael to let him know what was going on so he could bring me my hospital bag after school since I was staying over night. I was just being monitored. No big deal. Dr. Lampkin came by not too long after the non stress test started and said he wasn't pleased with the results. Now he was sending me to labor and delivery to have a contraction test done. During this test, they would give me pitocin to induce labor and see how Sutton's heart rate responded to them. Again, I was just having a test. No big deal. I told Michael to go ahead and get Harper out of school early and head to Lubbock.<br />
I got up to L&D to start the test. She had a couple of minor decels with her heart rate but nothing major. Before the test was even close to being over, the nurse came in and said "you're having a baby today!" Dr. Lampkin called me about a minute later to let me know his decision. He said he just had a gut feeling she needed to be delivered today. He didn't want her dying before delivery in antepartum while I was being monitored. This was around 4pm, and he said we would deliver around 7 or 8 because the ORs were booked. Not a minute later, the nurse comes back in and says we are having a baby in 15 minutes. Okay. At this point I started to freak out. She started prepping me for surgery, the anesthesiologist came in, and Dr. Lampkin rushed over from his office. My hip and leg were killing me, and I was starting to freak out about the spinal. I was wheeled off to the OR, got my spinal, and the NICU staff came in to prep for delivery. Dr. Lampkin started cutting before Michael even got into the room.<br />
Sutton Paige McKee was born at 4:48pm. The first thing I remember is her being completely purple. She let out a teeny cry before she was bagged. They wiped her off, wrapped her up, let me kiss her tiny face, and they were off to the NICU with my baby. The rest of the day was such a blur. I just had a baby. I wasn't pregnant anymore. I just kept thinking "is this real?" Dr. Lampkin said the cord was wrapped around her neck, and the placenta had a marginal cord insertion. Thank God he was proactive about his gut feeling. I can't thank him enough. After hanging out in recovery for a while, they took me into the NICU to see her. She had so many wires and tubes, but I was reassured she was doing well. They took me back to my room, and I wasn't able to see her again until 8 hours later. She was the most precious thing I had ever seen. I kept saying "I can't believe she's here" over and over again.<br />
Now she is a week old, and I can't get enough of her sweet face. She continues to do well despite her gestational age. Hopefully we will get to go home later this week.<br />
I am still struggling with my emotions about this whole experience. The fact that she could have died in utero is a little too much for me to handle. I can't get the image of her little purple body out of my mind. She is and will always be our miracle baby.<br />

Last time I wrote, I had just had my second ultrasound and heard the heartbeat. I went back on 9-17, and Baby McKee no longer looked like a blob but a baby! Sweet thing was jumping like a little rabbit in there. </div>

We were able to go to La Grange for Thanksgiving this year. It had been at least 6 years since we have been able to go for Thanksgiving due to work and busy schedules. I am SO thankful we went! We had a great time and got to enjoy my sister's new house they built right by my mom's house.</div>

Friday, the last day before break, was a half day. When I picked Harper up from school, she had a fever. :( She ended up having the flu as well. The next week was full of tending to her horribly high fever. It was over 105 a couple of times which just made her feel horrible.</div>

The next day Amy and I and the kids headed to La Grange for Christmas with my mom and sisters. After stopping a million times to use the potty, we finally made it!<br />

Last week I had my glucose test. I failed. This past Monday I had the 3 hour glucose tolerance test and failed miserably. No wonder I have been feeling so horrible during this pregnancy! Yesterday, I saw a maternal-fetal doctor and dietitian to try and get this figured out. So far the diet isn't horrible, but my blood sugar remains high even though I have cut out almost all sugars. I'm having to take it easy since my blood pressure spikes when my blood sugar does.<br />

We are looking at about 8 1/2 more weeks until we get to see this sweet baby in person! This pregnancy has gone by so fast, and I am so thankful because it has definitely had its ups and downs.Melody Forest McKeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10810133254648140438noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-63414814956134132.post-70380289698900461182014-09-08T15:57:00.001-05:002014-09-08T15:57:24.427-05:00Our TTC Journey Update....<div>
I can't even remember the last time I wrote about our TTC journey, but a lot has happened within the past year. There's been excitement, followed by heartache, followed by more heartache, and more excitement.</div>
<div>
Some of my male friends may find this to be WAY too much information to know about me. I am warning you now. :)</div>
<div>
<div>
September 2011 was the start of our secondary infertility journey. We did multiple rounds of clomid + metformin with every single cycle ending in disappointment. We took a few breaks here and there and would pick up where we left off with the medication. In the spring of 2013, I had a <a href="http://www.webmd.com/infertility-and-reproduction/guide/hysterosalpingogram-21590" target="_blank">hysterosalpingogram</a> done which showed no blockage. I was hoping this would at least show WHY we weren't conceiving. No luck.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In late October 2013, we found out we were expecting. I knew from the beginning something wasn't right, but I told people our exciting news in hopes the extra prayers would allow this baby to grow and thrive. On November 18th I started to have some complications. I was cramping and bleeding, and in my heart, I just knew. I was completely heartbroken. The next morning, the blood work confirmed my worst nightmare. I went to Harper's PDO for their Thanksgiving feast that morning then left for a work trip to Orlando, FL that afternoon. I had the opportunity to just stay home for a few days instead, but I needed to get away from reality. This was probably the best decision I could have made. I needed to keep myself busy and distracted. I didn't want to have to explain to Harper why her baby went to be with Jesus. I just wasn't ready.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The next couple of months were spent trying to get my body back to normal. After a miscarriage, it doesn't always go back to normal quickly. It's frustrating. We started back on clomid + metformin but continued to be disappointed at the end of each cycle. I started on Mother's Day for heaven's sake! Summer was quickly approaching, and I welcomed the distractions of trips to the pool and vacation. We left for a vacation road trip to San Diego on June 13th. We arrived in Santee, CA at our friends' house for a week long vacation. We were more than ready for this break! Sunday, June 15th, we celebrated Father's Day. Guess what? I started again. I just laughed at this point. Mother's Day AND Father's Day?! Since we were in CA and needed to start clomid on CD (cycle day) 5, I decided I wouldn't worry about taking it this cycle. I was surprisingly not stressed for once in a LONG time. Vacation was wonderful, and it was so hard to leave. We love and miss our friends. </div>

Fast forward to about the 3rd week of July. It was CD 35, and I still hadn't started. We were leaving for a few days to Ruidoso the next day (July 20th), and I needed to know if I needed to pack "supplies," so I took a pregnancy test. It was negative, and I wasn't surprised. I was just annoyed I hadn't started yet because I couldn't start fertility medication until I did! By CD 45, I was REALLY irritated. How was I supposed to get pregnant if I hadn't even started! I decided to take another pregnancy test just for the heck of it.<br />

I walk casually into our bedroom where Michael was and said, "I don't even know how this is possible!" I didn't sleep much that night and immediately went to Wal-Mart the next morning to buy a digital test. Harper was REALLY confused as to why I was peeing on a white stick.<br />

I called my OB/GYN's office and went in for blood work late that morning. They put a rush on the results and confirmed I was in fact pregnant! I remained in shock for a couple of weeks even though the blood work was great each week, I had my first ultrasound on August 12th and saw the most amazing little flickering heartbeat on the monitor.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

(This ultrasound shows EDC 3/22/14 and that I was 8w2d based on the first day of my last period. I didn't ovulate until CD 29 (usually based on ovulation on CD14), so the dates were adjusted on my next ultrasound)</div>
<br />
I breathed a huge sigh of relief, and even though I was still very early, I decided to spread the news. The more prayers, the better!<br />
<br />
I went in for my first nurse appointment on August 26th. I though it was just blood work and getting paperwork done. We ended up doing an ultrasound in the office. The nurse couldn't confirm a fetal heartbeat with the abdominal ultrasound, so my OB tried with a trans vaginal ultrasound. He couldn't even locate my uterus, so they sent me to Lubbock Radiology where I had my initial ultrasound. My OB said he was very concerned that they couldn't confirm a heartbeat. Part of me started to freak out, but the other part of me remained calm and hopeful.<br />
<br />
I had an hour until my ultrasound appointment. I just sat in my car for a while and prayed. I went into the office a little early, and they were able to get me in earlier than my scheduled appointment. As soon as the tech put the probe on my abdomen, she pointed out the flickering little heartbeat. She turned the volume up, and I HEARD the heartbeat for the first time. Praise God, this baby was still growing and measuring right on target. Apparently, my uterus is really high which is why my OB had an issue.<br />

I have been going for blood work every week to check my progesterone levels and have my third ultrasound on September 17th. My stomach is growing at a ridiculously high rate. Like seriously, it's a little ridiculous. I LOVE IT! :)<br />

I usually get really nauseous at night and have a hard time sleeping. I am completely exhausted most of the time, but now that I am a stay-at-home mom, the exhaustion doesn't even phase me. I am able to keep the house clean, do laundry, cook dinner, AND take a nap. :) God knew exactly why this decision to leave my job weighed so heavily on my heart.<br />
<br />
I am beyond thankful for this tiny little blob growing inside me. A bit of my heart is healing from the previous loss we suffered.<br />
<br />
Will you join us in prayer for the growth of this sweet baby? </div>

I want Harper to grow up with incredible memories of her childhood. I'm not talking about trips to Disney World or the Christmas when we got her a trampoline. I want her to remember those nights when we prayed together, the time she helped Daddy hang her swing in the tree in the backyard, the many nights we spent at the drive-in watching silly movies and eating popcorn, the countless times her daddy and I tell her we love her, the amount of times she's called "beautiful," and the special trips we made to get ice cream for her good behavior.<br />
I have big dreams for this little girl. I have no doubt she will change the world. It may not be recognized by millions, but she's definitely going to change the world. I am not sure why God blessed me with such a well-behaved, gentle, smart, and beautiful little girl, but He did. And I'm so thankful. She's only 4.5 years old, and she's changed my world. I am terrified to think about the things she will face in her future. I pray she loves people, stands up for herself and beliefs, and I pray she loves God. This little girl will move mountains. I just know it.<br />

I find myself doubting God. A lot. I just can't wrap my head around WHY things happen the way they do. Why did my sister, one of the most kind, giving, loving, and christian women I know, have to get her boobs completely cut off today? Why do her 2 young kids have to go through the next few weeks watching their mom in horrific pain? Why do I have to go through SO many failed fertility cycles that end in complete heartache? Why did my best friend from childhood lose her baby boy at almost 21 weeks gestation? Why does one of my good friends have to suffer through constant physical pain, vomiting, and IV fluids on a daily basis for the rest of her life? I just don't understand. I pray. I believe in God. Yet I doubt His plan.<br />

Our plan was to go to Downtown Disney from here, hang out, and eat dinner. Well, Harper fell asleep on the monorail, so we drove to the hotel, and Michael and I took turns going up into our hotel room to shower and change while the other stayed in the car while Harper slept. We ate at Ragland Road Irish Pub at Downtown Disney, and it was GOOD (and expensive). Harper slept the ENTIRE time.<br />

It was bittersweet leaving after the fireworks. Part of me didn't want to leave, but the other 95% of me was about to fall over from exhaustion. We finally made it back to the hotel around 1AM.<br />

We headed to Disney World for a once of a lifetime vacation at the end of June. We had been talking to Harper about it since March, and she was beyond excited. Of course it is hard to explain the magic of Disney to a 3 year old. We couldn't WAIT to see the look on her face when we got there!</div>

On May 6th, I woke up to a ton of text messages starting with my mom telling my sisters and I that she had to call 9-1-1 early in the morning for Auntie Ann. She woke up to go to the bathroom but couldn't stand up. Her legs were weak, and she couldn't put any weight on them. Once they got the the ER, tests were run and initially thought it was from her back. A little later a CT scan revealed a brain tumor. She was being transferred from La Grange to St David's in Austin. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Once she got there, more tests were run, and it was determined she needed to have a biopsy. Amy and I packed up and headed to Austin with Harper and SJ in tow. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

The biopsy results showed a large inoperable glioblastoma multiforme. We were completely heartbroken. They sent her home with some appointments set to see an oncologist. We took this picture right before we headed back to Lubbock. I will cherish this picture forever.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The prognosis wasn't good. Without treatment, the doctor gave her a few months. With 6 weeks of radiation and chemo, he gave her up to a year. She started treatment soon after diagnoses.<br />
<br />
On July 4th (only 3 days left of radiation), I once again woke up to a ton of text messages. Mom took Auntie Ann to the ER around 4 AM because there were a couple of small lesions on her leg that seemed to be infected. She was doing okay for a few hours, and they had determined she had a blood clot in her leg. She started to have some problems breathing and soon found out she had blood clots in her lungs as well. She had a fever, blood pressure dropped, and she wouldn't wake up. Around 2 PM, she passed away peacefully with my mom and my sister Misti by her side.<br />
<br />
I'm sure some of you don't understand why the loss of an aunt was so heartbreaking. I mean, a parent, that's understandable. But an aunt? I'm sure I won't be able to find the right words to explain the importance she was in our lives.<br />
<br />
Auntie Ann was my dad's only sibling. Auntie Ann never married or had kids, so my siblings and I were the only grandchildren. We grew up spending every holiday with her. After my granddaddy passed away, she moved to La Grange into my parents' house when I was in high school. She has always been a mother figure in our lives and loved us (and our children) like her own.<br />
<br />
Heaven gained a wonderful person that day. It was very emotional going into the house after she was gone. It just wasn't the same. I find peace in the fact that she is with her parents and brother now...exactly where she wanted to be.<br />
<br />
One of my favorite pictures :) Me and Auntie Ann when I was 3.<br />

Just a little background leading up to surgery...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Harper has always had ear infection issues ever since she was a few months old. She had her first set of tubes at 14 months and seemed to be doing well at her ENT check ups. About a year had gone by, and I noticed she just wasn't where she should be with her speech. Her speech was muffled and kind of sounded like she spoke as if she couldn't hear. I got in touch with the head speech therapist in our school district to have her tested this past January. The process is to test hearing and vision first. Once she passes those, then they test speech. I scheduled an appointment with her ENT to have her hearing checked.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Even though she is smiling in the picture, she miserably failed her hearing test. I felt about an inch tall. How could I have missed this? She was scheduled for her surgery at the end of February...tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, and reshaping of the turbinates in her nose. </div>

Surgery day came quickly. How do you prepare your 3 year old that she's going to wake up in pain? It sounds dramatic, but it's not easy no matter how large or small the surgery.<br />

When they brought us back to see her, my heart fell into my stomach for a moment. Praise God this was minor surgery. Once again I was reminded of how blessed we are for a healthy child.<br />

Since surgery her speech has improved tremendously. She is still delayed, but when she has trouble saying a word, she can actually hear me say it then she will repeat it correctly. This is HUGE! We are in the process of starting speech therapy and will hopefully be caught up by the time she starts pre-k next year.<br />

Pretty quickly after her 10 day turnaround, she woke up with hives covering her arms and torso. First thought was an allergy to penicillin but soon switched to a possible detergent allergy since it was getting worse and had been off the medication for a while. We went to her pediatrician and found out she had fifth disease. Lovely. She healed quickly and was back to normal within a couple of days.<br />

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Just a list of things NOT to say to a woman who is struggling with infertility...</span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"Just stop trying so hard, and it will happen." (Umm. Okay. You kind of have to do certain things for "it" to happen)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"We weren't even trying! Oops!" (High five. In the face. With a chair)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"Everything happens for a reason." (Please tell me why I can't have a child yet a 13 year old can.)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"I don't want kids right now so if I do accidentally get pregnant, I'll just give it to you!" (Please don't reproduce.)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"I was on birth control then oops!" (Shut. Up.)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"Just be thankful you have Harper" (I'm so thankful, but don't make me feel guilty for wanting another child as if I don't think just having Harper is good enough.)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"I wasn't even sure I wanted another one." (Well, congratulations)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"So when are you going to have another baby?" (MOST of the time this comes from people who don't know better, but it sucks all the same.)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"Maybe it's not meant to be." (Wth?)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"It's probably because you're stressed out about it."</span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">And stop with the advice. I've heard it all.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span>

Last weekend we went went camping at Possum Kingdom State Park. If you recall the <a href="http://mckeefamilylife.blogspot.com/2011/04/camping-trip-caprock-canyons-state-park.html" target="_blank">last time</a> we went camping, I was a little nervous about going again. I am thankful to say we had a BLAST! We drove in late on Friday night, and didn't get to camp until close to midnight. Thankfully we sent our tent with Papa, Grandma, and Alexa for them to set up. </div>
