    It’s Flashback Friday and the topic is how you broke the news that there was a baby on the way!

      Since my topic for Monday Memories was on the birth of our daughter, let me tell you how we found out we were expecting!

        I was scheduled for a tubal ligation surgery on a Thursday. I had to do something, I was suffering form ovarian cysts and endometriosis and my doctor said the chances of my ever getting pregnant again were extremely slim. I was in pain all of the time and having a toddler already it wasn’t cutting it. So we resolved to the fact that we were only going to have one child.

          On Sunday we had gone to church as usual, and I asked for prayer. I was nervous about the surgery and just wanted everything to go ok.

            When I woke up on Monday I wasn’t feeling right….just something didn’t feel right, like not right as when I was pregnant. Now mind you, the doctors office had already taken a pregnancy test which came back negative the previous week, when they did all the pre op tests.

              I called the doctors office and asked to come in and take another pregnancy test, just to reassure myself. I went in, took the test and it was the longest wait in my life! The nurse, came out with a stunned look on her face and said, “Honey, you are pregnant!” I didn’t believe her so I made her show me the test! And sure enough that baby was positive!

                I was taken to a room and then my doctor came in just shaking his head, he was in disbelief, he couldn’t believe it either! He was as excited as I was….he knew I wanted another child so as I cried with joy, he also did! To say the least, he was one special doctor.

                  Of course the surgery was canceled. They told me if I hadn’t come in and had the test, and we had gone in and started the surgery, I would have lost the baby. It was a God thing. No Doubt!

                    The most absolute joy was when I was able to look my hubby in the eyes and tell him he was going to be a daddy again! We never thought that would happen and there we were rejoicing at the news! Telling Bubba was just as much fun! He learned quickly that he was going to be a big brother! And he took that role seriously! He still does. Telling our families was a blast…no one could believe it! And that is how the announcement of Miss Priss came to be!

                            Karin is Flashing Back this week about crushes….well, I just had to add my little story about my first major crush.

                              It all started when I was 14, E, who was friends with my cousins started attending our church. He was older than me to say the least. My cousin, her husband and E would eventually form a Christian band, and I was my cousins babysitter for the majority of the time when they played. But I’m getting ahead of myself.

                                E was always nice to me, and I think he knew I had a major crush on him but he never let on. He became very active in our church and through the years we became friends. We played softball together on the church team and saw each other a lot through church activities.

                                  Now I never looked my age, I always looked older, at that time I loved it! When I was 16 I passed for 21….believe me I worked it. LOL

                                    Well, on my 16th birthday E told me he’d give me a ride home from church, well……my heart was just pitter pattering. He had giving me rides before but for some reason this time I knew it was different! He told me when we got in his little truck that he needed to stop by his family shop to pick up something, well, I was all for that it just meant that I got to spend more time with him! When we arrived at the shop he asked me if I wanted to go in and look around and I did. Anything to prolong this night. After we got back in the truck he turned to me and said,

                                      “So you are 16 now? And never been kissed right?”

                                        At this point my heart was beating so fast but I was so cool, I batted my eyes and looked at him and said,

                                          “Sweet 16, and never been kissed.”

                                            Then and there, he kissed me! I thought I was going to faint but I kept my cool, because he was older than I was by five years, I didn’t want him to think I was a child by any means! He told me that he had grown very fond of me and really liked me but he waited till I turned 16. That night when he dropped me off at home, my aunt and mom were in the kitchen drinking coffee and I came in so love struck that my aunt honestly thought I was high. She came to my room and asked me if I had been smoking pot or drinking, because I was sure acting like it! I had been babbling about how E kissed me and he liked me, so I guess I did sound pretty stupid to them.

                                              E and I dated for quite awhile, but the age difference started to come in factor when he showed signs of wanting to settle down before I was even out of high school. My crush ended when I felt smothered. But I’ll never forget the way I felt, I know it was a crush and not love, because when I found love it was BAM!!! and that my friends is a whole other story!!
                                                  *UPDATE*

                                                  I had to add this….

                                                  I developed a small crush on my dad’s heart surgeon. He was tall, dark and handsome, had a wonderful Irish accent that made my knees weak. And of course the man is rich so that is a plus. To top things off, he saved my daddy’s life!!!! When I called Big D and told him I was crushing over dad’s heart surgeon, he replied,

                                                  “Oh ok….”

                                                  After 22 years of marriage not much concern!

                                                      Karin has brought back Flashback Friday!! This week it’s all about pets…so I’m going to tell you about my little lovely, Rocky.

                                                          Rocky is my nine year old tabby, she is spoiled and thinks she is the queen of the palace. Several years ago, Rocky became curious of the clothes dryer…see it had overheated so we had opened the door to let it cool. Rocky liked the warmth of the dryer so she hopped in, unknowing to any of us. Bubba closed the door as he passed through the laundry room and started the dryer, within a few minutes I had heard a “thump…thump…thump” I knew immediately what it was. Bubba ran to the dryer and grabbed Rocky out of the dryer, she wasn’t looking so good, barely breathing. I knew I needed to cool her off so I grabbed a towel and soaked it in cold water and wrapped her in it. We took off to the vets office which was closed, but thankfully he happened to be there….though he later told me he thought I was going to break his door down by pounding on it! He took Rocky and started her on an IV and put ice packs around her, her core temperature was 106, which he told me they don’t usually make it with that high of a temperature. But he didn’t give up on her. We left her in his hands and I went home crying. We got a call the next day that Rocky made it through the night, and it looked like she would make a full recovery. She burned the skin off her pads, and her nose. Her eyes were scratched, and she cut her tongue. But with some tender loving care she made a full recovery. To say the least, Rocky never goes near the dryer anymore, and I freak out if I hear a thumping in there…I immediately yell, “Where’s Rocky?”
