Well it is a new year and we have been sooooooo busy I have not really updated this in a while. Allow me to apologize and bring everyone up to date.
Let's start with October. We actually celebrated our sixth month wedding anniversary. (Trust me neither of our support circles or giggles of friends could believe it either.) The coolest gift we got for each other was a positive result on our pregnancy test. We found out we were preggers on our anniversary which was the 29th both of us were ecstatic.
November came and went. Turkey day was interesting I cooked for his family and even they even managed to eat without getting sick. The North man and I were entirely thankful for True.com the computer company that is responsible for us being together in the first place. This was the first Thanksgiving that I had where there was no big family fight and I did not come away feeling hurt from someone fighting with me. It is true I did feel exhausted from cooking and that is a good thing.
December came. This is a very stressful month for me normally. We will start with the good news. Mom and Dad found my bells. I had this really silly little automated Christmas thingy with these mice that stand on drums and have bells on either side of them and they turn a 1/4 turn and hit these bells with a little mallet. They played 30 songs. I was upset because I could not find mine. Well thankfully Mom and Dad Northman found me another set although they are not mice they are men it is still what I wanted. My Birthday was not a good day. I went into labor and lost our baby. (this was my 5th miscarriage yes I had four before I was married to the love of my life) The doctors are now curious as to why this happened. Christmas came and we were still struggling due to the loss of the baby but, we tried to have a good day. I got the mad norseman some chainmail and for his savage wife he came with the gift of music. (A keyboard that has keys which light up to tell one which note to play next. A stand and an electrical adaptor so I don't have to worry about the batteries running down.) New year's eve we spent at the barony Christmas Party and we received some great gifts. I am truly being savage because I am not sending Thank you notes.
January I spent with the doctors lots of lab work to find the explanation for the miscarriages. We found that I have a second genetic anomaly. I am at a higher risk for venal thrombosis (getting blood clots in my veins) and this is responsible for the loss of the baby but I had to wait until February to find what this means as far as future pregnancies. The Norseman spent this month working himself to death and also worried about me because the stress is not good for me not only does it cause migraines but he was terrified that I may snap and attempt to hurt myself. I did have one fight with my psychiatrist when she said that I needed to exercise I told her for fat people exercise is punishment.
Februrary The Norseman got a raise the foreman at the furniture mines finally realized that the mad mans skills are really important to his company's well being. The pregnancy specialist seems like a great guy and he has assured me he will do everything he can to help me stay preggers. This means that I have to have heprin shots everyday after I get with child. I will have to stay around the neighborhood and become the human pin cushion but the norseman and I really want a child. Karma is also a cool thing because we received a 43inch television free from one of my husbands clients.
This last week has been spent with the two of us reaffirming our love vocally and through actions. We are also discussing when we will try to offer tangible proof of our love now that we know how much work will be going into it. He is completely aware of the sacrifices that we both are going to have to make in order to make a child and is willing to do whatever it takes.
We are looking forward to Spring and more time out in the fresh air. As well as the many SCA events we are planning to attend.
