In August of 2009 I found out I was pregnant while serving in Iraq. But, I only found out after I had some SEVERE cramping while at work one day. They sent me to see the doctor and that's when I found out. I had no idea I was even pregnant. So, They did an ultrasound and couldn't find anything. So they sent me to a different part of Iraq and I found out that I had an ectopic pregnancy (tubal pregnancy). I was so distraught, well I had to have emergency surgery (in Iraq without any family and during a war). Nonetheless I was sent home early to recovery and never got sent back. They took out my tube and one of my ovaries because it had a large cyste. Five months after my surgery I found out I was pregnant again. I was so scared that I would lose another one. But, let's just say I'm 11 weeks tomorrow and the baby is very healthy and okay. I don't know the gender yet, but I get the feeling it's a girl. This is my miracle child after a long hard ordeal and having very little chance to conceive. I'm very thrilled and cannot wait to be a mom.

A Butterfly lies beside us
like a sunbeam
and for a brief moment,
its beauty and glory
belong to our world.
But then it flies on again.
And though we wish it could have stayed
we feel so lucky to have seen it.
In loving memory of MrsTyson's precious Julia.
