Happenings....

We had a nice New Years at home this year. The kids went to bed at an early time and we just watched the programs on TV. I know, loads of fun huh? I enjoyed time off work. We spent time as a family, going bowling, out to eat, and just hanging out. I've been back to work since January started. It's hard getting back into the groove of things. We found out we were pregnant on New Years Eve. A week and a half later I started bleeding and unfortunatley I'm having another miscarraige :( I was hoping that we'd have a baby this year, but now I can just hope we will atleast get pregnant again this year and have no complications. I've asked the doctor if there was anything I'm doing that is causing these miscarraiges, but really there's nothing. My fear was me running and exercising, but he said that wouldn't do it. There are women I know who have run marathons while pregnant and everything is fine, even early on in the pregnancy. My Doc. also told me 1 out of 3 women have miscarraiges and it's a 50/50 chance of getting pregnant, even on your most fertile days. Everything has to match up just right to work. you wouldn't think it would be so complicated, but it is! No wonder alot of people have trouble getting pregnant. We've just been lucky with our first 2. We are still getting pregnant quickly, but now it's keeping the baby, that's the problem. So now we have to wait a couple months again, and may wait a couple more, so we can try for an early spring baby. It's hard to plan, cuz half the time it doesn't work out the way you plan it. So, we just have to go with the flow and be happy with what we have! It has been alot harder for me this time. I'm very emotional and do not feel myself. I know it will take some time and I will feel better once I can start exercising again. On a postitive note, I'd like to think that I will have 2 extra kids waiting for us, in the next life and that the reason they were sent to us for such a short time, was to get a body and return home to our Heavenly Father to do work there. I know it was meant to be, but it's hard to accept sometimes.

It makes you realize just how big of a blessing your first two have been. Your boys are very lucky to have you as their Mom, you take such good care of them. We had a lot of fun babysitting them this week. Let me know if you need anything. We love you guys!

I am so sorry to hear about your loss, I know that it can be really hard. I had 3 miscarriages before I was able to have my little boy, if you need anyone to talk to I am all ears. Sometimes in these situations it is just good to talk about your experience.
