I just want to tell you the story of how Mr. Cole Goulding came into our lives.
In a previous post, I talked about having HPV.
Well, I don't anymore!
Because of the surgery, shots, and taking good care of myself, my body battled it.
So to "reward" myself, I got pregnant.
Let me back it up for just a second; Broc and I were told we were probably never going to be able to get pregnant. I had a 23% chance of having a baby, and Broc was told he isn't very fertile because of his illostomy surgery etc.
So we thought, what the hell? Don't need protection, don't need birth control.
WRONG.
So. Very. Wrong.
One day I was sitting on the front porch and I hadn't been feeling very well lately, something was just off. I was super emotional (more emotional then I already am) and Leia was starting to treat me differently. In the back of my mind I said, "there is NO WAY, Haley Carol, you ARE NOT pregnant."
So for the 100th time, I bought a pregnancy test at the store.
Positive.
..........
I didn't believe it. I called Planned Parenthood and made an appt. for the next day to get a pregnancy test there.
Positive.
So I went into my Dr. because I was actually supposed to get an IUD put in, but I told him that I had 2 positive pregnancy tests and that I wanted to get my blood drawn and sent to the lab.
I came back VERY positive. 4-5 weeks pregnant.
It was time to tell Broc.
I was terrified. We were so poor and without a car and lived in a studio apartment with 2 dogs and a cat. What were we going to do??
So, like a big wimp, I called him at work and told him we needed to talk when he got home.
"you're pregnant, aren't you?"
then there was silence, he hung up.
about 5 minutes later, he called back, "I threw up." my poor husband!
I started to cry and asked him what we were going to do. He came home as quickly as he could and we sat down and decided we needed to start finding a better place to live and living a better lifestyle etc.
Well, 11 months have gone by since then, and we are SO happy with Cole Goulding. Leia, sadly is gone to a different family, and Pepper our cat is with the upstairs neighbors we had in the avenues. We are in a cute 2 bedroom apartment with Todd, Broc is a supervisor at the Centerville Arctic Circle, and I am working at the Rec Center and grooming at home as well (searching for a grooming job at a salon or vet tech job at a clinic) Life is piecing itself together, and we have the most beautiful, happy, healthy baby anyone could ask for.
I am so grateful to have Cole Goulding in our lives. He is an absolute blessing and has made me a better person. I have seen the change in Broc and myself, as we've grown into adults and into parents. Thank you, Cole, for coming into our lives at the most unexpected time and making it absolutely perfect and beautiful. We love you.
Mom and Dad.
This is beautiful! I love you Haley!!!
