The past week

Thank you all for your prayers and kind thoughts.

To update everyone in the past week of events...

Tuesday we found out our baby no longer had a heartbeat. My body needed help completing the miscarriage. My mom and sister came to town to help me with everything. Dealing with emotions of losing the baby and to help me recover from the procedure. My d&c Surgery was on Friday morning. We got home from the hospital around 3... I began to bleed... we realized it was me hemorrhaging and went to the ER around 9 hours after the first surgery.

They decided I needed to be rushed into emergency surgery at 2 or 3 in the morning to stop the bleeding.

Basically I almost needed a blood transfusion. They were concerned that I may have needed to have my uterus removed if they couldn't get the bleeding under control. I am now starting to realize how close to dying I could have been and how scary this whole experience was for my wonderful and loving husband Chris, sister, mom, and the rest of my family ad friends.

I am now home recovering. Still very sore. A little slower than I once was - from the lower blood count. My arms look like pin cushions. But I am alive. I am so blessed to have so many prayers coming my way from people than didn't even know what exactly was going on.

I am so blessed.

Big News!

So this is a little late but...

we're pregnant!

Baby Rafacz at 12 weeks.  He/she was dancing during the ultrasound.  We could not believe how active the baby was!  Nice strong heart beat.  It all became real!
Bad at documenting pictures but here is what I have...

13 weeks





Christmas Eve is when we made it facebook official.  Earilier in the day we were to get an ultrasound and share our joy with my mom, mom in law, dad, sister, Sister in law Kim, and niece Sierra.  Little one didn't want to show us any hint of what the gender was though!

16 weeks




More belly updates to come.  We have our next appointment on January 24th!

Hurricane Sandy

Stuck inside all day has lead me to try to entertain the dogs without making too much noise while Chris is sleeping (he is working nights).

At least they are sharing!

Pictures of VA

Virginia Yoda Rafacz - the new member of our family

We drove up to a town about 3 hours away called Luray to look a few frenchton puppies (half French bulldog and half Boston terrier).

We went just to look... And fell in love!

Her original name was Diamond. Not a huge of that name so we started thinking of different names that would go with her sister's name. We went with the state theme... GA and VA ... I think she looks like Yoda.
