What should have been a routine trip to the Dr. today for a non-stress test turned out to be much more than anyone was prepared for. To make a long story short I ended up having an ultrasound after the test was done to check the fluid levels on the babies. The babies are doing great and still happy & content in their home. In doing the ultrasound however the tech happened to glance over my ovaries (which are on my sides now towards my back) and found that I have a cyst/tumor on my ovary...making what should be the size of a golf ball the size of an orange. It really is amazing that she happened to look at them because it's defiantly not a routine part of checking fluid levels. Needless to say finding it was all very surprising to everyone because they last checked them in June and nothing showed up to be concerned about then. The tech practically ran out of the room to get the Dr....all the while I am sitting in the exam room by myself not really knowing what was wrong but knew by her face that whatever it was, it was not good. I talked with the Dr. for about 1/2 hour and he explained to me that it is a concern that this seems to have just popped up quickly. I felt like I was in one of those situations where someone is talking to you and their mouth is moving but no sound is coming out. The cyst needs to be removed as soon as possible and it will then be examined to see if it's anything to be concerned about. Since removing it will require some kind of abdominal surgery he is recommending we go a head with a C-Section. This is so I don't have to go through both a natural delivery and then turn around and have surgery a few weeks post partum. So we don't know much but do know that I will be scheduled for delivery/surgery sometime next week if I don't go into labor before then.
I really just can't explain how many emotions I am feeling at the moment...it's hard to even get my head around it all. Jerame keeps on reminding me that this is just a bump in the road of our lives. He is so supportive and encouraging I just love him so much. I can't help but for some reason let my thoughts wander to all the different scenarios. Please keep us in your prayers.

The positive to focus on is that the babies are doing wonderfullly. That is the blessing, the other's are truely "bumps in the road". It doesn't mean it's not scary though. Remember there is a little Hannah angel that is helping keep them safe, and you. Love, Tasha

Katie,
I just heard from Yampa on the scary news regarding the giant sized cyst. We are thinking about you and you are in our prayers. I am confident that you will make it through all of this; it is almost over and things can begin. It always is darkest before the dawn. Amy thinks the C-section was the best thing since slice bread. Keep us posted on any news and we will talk to you soon.
Love,
Jason and Amy

You are such a strong amazing woman and I just know you will get over this bump in the road! Just remember the toughest moments in life are the ones that define who we are.

You, Jerame and the babies are always in our thoughts and prayers, if you guys need anything at all we are here for you.
