Once again, I have found that I'm not the blogger type! Not only do I not ever know what to blog about, but I no longer have internet access at home. My new goal is to blog once a month (crossing my fingers), since obviously my last goal didn't work out so well. A lot has happened since my last post....

We moved back to our apartment in Taylorsville, with lots of help from family and friends! It just wasn't working at the duplex we had moved into, so with lots of prayer, work, and faith, we found someone to take over our lease at the duplex and we were able to move back into the EXACT same apartment unit! Oddly enough, it was still available because they were replacing the carpet, countertops, and linoleum (no idea how to spell such an odd word). We moved in the 8th of November, the day before my birthday, and still have so much to unpack and get RID of!


On a not as happy note... The Thursday before my birthday, I had an appointment with my wonderful midwife Rebecca and found out that I would 'miscarry' the baby we had been hoping and trying for the last few months. I say 'miscarry' , because that's the easiest way to put it. I had something called Blighted Ovum. What is Blighted Ovum? I can't quite explain it the same as how my midwife explained it to me, because I was so shocked and unsettled that I don't remember what she said, so I looked it up and here is the best definition I came across.... "A blighted ovum (also known as “anembryonic pregnancy”) happens when a fertilized egg attaches itself to the uterine wall, but the embryo does not develop. Cells develop to form the pregnancy sac, but not the embryo itself." So everything seems the same as a normal pregnancy, including hormones & weight gain, but there is no possibility of continuing the pregnancy. I finally 'miscarried' about a week and a half later after going through horrible Labor Like pains and horrible downers in my emotions. I am so blessed to have had such wonderful support from my loving husband and mother who were there for me and took care of Kennedy while I was on pain meds. I also owe a great deal to my wonderful sister in law, Tiff, who went with me to my appointment and was there for me, to listen and give encouraging words!


It seems like so much has happened over the last few months... But all in all, through ups and downs, I am so thankful to my loving family, friends, and especially my Heavenly Father. I don't know how I would ever do it alone!

Lastly... I just have to add how adorable our cute little Kennedy is getting! She is such a joy in our lives and we feel so blessed to be her parents! The photo at the top is just a glimpse of how much fun she is! She just loves dressing up and wearing glasses! But she LOVES her baby dolls and books most of all. She is always asking someone to "Read book me" and telling us that her baby is "Cry Cry" and needs a "bottle water"! We just love watching her grow and seeing how much smarter she is getting every day!
