The Past Four Months

That was a long break from blogging! Lots of stuff went on, some good and some not so good.... in a nutshell:

The bad:

Found out in May I was pregnant, and then miscarried a week later. I never realized how much one's body goes through during a miscarriage, even at only 5 weeks. It was rough physically, but once I got past the initial disappointment and hormonal craziness, I was okay emotionally.

Discovered an odd bump on my nose around the time of the miscarriage, and since I was feeling all doom & gloom, wondered if it was something bad. I went to the dermatologist and found out it was basal cell carcinoma. Felt very shocked and mostly po'd that cancer would dare show its face on my body (lots of cancer in my family, it terrifies me) -- got Mohs surgery and had it removed. Now am going back every 6 months like an old lady to get my skin checked out.

The good:

Took a trip to Illinois & Wisconsin to visit my grandmas and some family - had a GREAT time! It was very relaxing. We were there over 4th of July, the weather was nice and cool, and I got to see family that I miss oh so very much.

Took another trip right after the IL/WI one to California. That was even more relaxing, because it was back in my beloved West side of the country, and because I got to spend time at the OCEAN. Sort of kind of learned to surf, which was all kinds of awesome. :)

The GREAT:

The day we got home from California, I found out I'm pregnant again! I'm 9 weeks and everything is going VERY well. I got an ultrasound today. Here is a picture of our little one.


So that's my life over the past 4 months. :)

Will post more again soon. I need a nap!
