I found out I was pregnant at about 1AM on May 21 (2 days after Brad's birthday) at St. Vincent's ED, and here is the story of how I got there. Brad and I were watching the DVR'd season finale of American Idol and I of course fell asleep. I had this weird/horrible dream about a spider and actually thought it was real. I ran around the bedroom in my sleep, and ran into something and knocked myself out. I was awakened by Brad shaking me, telling me to wake up. I started flipping out, and sweating, running around the house with this splitting headache. I passed out again in the bathroom, and Brad carried me to bed, and called my dad. He came over immediately and we went to the ED. Brad and I had been joking on the way there about how crazy the story sounded, and how everyone would think I was crazy, or he is a wife beater. We got there, and everyone was real nice. They got a CT of my brain. The lady asked me "is there any chance you could be pregnant", and I said no. Keep in mind I had previously taken 7 urine pregnancy tests and they were all negative, and I was only 2 days late. I just thought my body was coming off my birth control pills. so, i got the CT scan, and the doctor wanted labs and fluids because my heart rate was up. they stuck me 5 times and was able to get labs but not an IV. The doctor came and told me there were some "abnormalities in my tests" My CT was normal from where I hit my head, but I have a "congenital arachnoid cyst", meaning I have had this cyst on my brain ever since I was born, but he said it was small and an "incidental finding", and it was probably nothing, but I just needed to see a neurosurgeon. that really scared me. then he said, "oh, you are pregnant". all i could think about was the CT scan I had and i just started crying. to make a long story short, i was pregnant, and I went to the OB that next monday and was 5 weeks pregnant. Baby cotton's heart rate was 176 at the 9 week visit, and 170 at the 13 week visit, and tomorrow is the 18 week visit, and hopefully baby cotton will reveal it's privates to us to see if the baby is a brad or jennifer junior. We are very excited and nervous all the same with anticipation. We will find out soon enough what "BABY COTTON" is...TO BE CONTINUED...Sunday, August 23, 2009
BABY COTTON!
So, haven't mentioned this yet on Blogspot, but today I am 17 weeks 6 days pregnant. Tomorrow is the big day where we are finding out what "baby cotton ball" is. Brad and I are so excited. The ultrasound below was the first US we got of the baby. I was 9 weeks pregnant. I haven't blogged about baby cotton yet, and I can't sleep because i am wired and my husband and his friend are downstairs playing PS3 NCAA 2010, so I am going to tell all about baby cotton.

Kim and Chris Clark's Wedding
This is a picture of Brad and me with the beautiful bride, Kimberly Goodwin Clark. Their wedding was Saturday night, 7/11/09 at Bluff Park United Methodist Church. The reception was as the Carraway-Davie Conference Center. It was really nice! Congrats to Kim and Chris!
This is Brad with his "rookies"- Josh (far left), and the groom, Chris (in the middle). He really loved training these two, and they love hanging out with eachother "on their off days"!
This is the G'dale PD's finest: (from left) Brad, Josh, Chris, Steve, and Sgt. Scott.

Look what was in our drive-way!
Look what was in our drive way the other evening! We were inside and taking the picture against the window, so of course, it flashed. 
Now, this is the deer running from the flash.

Skeeter's Bridal Tea
Skeeter (Stefanie Conner), my bestest friend from my Jeff State (Jeffy Tech) softball days, had her bridal tea this past Saturday in Hartselle. It was so good catching up with her and her family. It has been a while since I have seen her. I can't wait until she gets married in August! Love you Skeeter, and congrats to her and Wes!

Shelby Lynn at the lake!
Brad took Shelby fishing the other day. This is a dog they met at the lake. Brad named him "Pepper" for some reason. Pepper kept following Shelby around the lake. The only way she could get away from him was to jump in the lake. He wouldn't follow her in. She was playing hard to get! Anyways, her jumping in the lake wasn't too good for Brad and his fishing buddies, but they had a good day.
Shelby walking down the peir.
Shelby watching the fish bite.
Shelby swimming. She loves the water, but for some reason she hates the hosepipe at home when we try to give her a bath. That's why we just take her to Mrs. Holly once a month for a professional pampering.
Shelby Lynn relaxing on the peir. I love my baby girl so much! Isn't she big? We took her to the vet the other day for her yearly check up and shots. The Vet said that she needed to lose 10 pounds! She weighed in at a whopping 85 pounds. He told us to put her on a low-calorie dog food formula, so I guess we'll try that.MMA Fight
It's been awhile since I posted. I wanted to catch up and post pics of some recent things we've done. We went with some friends to Cullman to watch the Southeastern MMA Fights. There were 10 fights in all. We ate at All-Steak before the fight. It was wonderful! We had a great time!
