serious catch up time...

so my mother keeps reminding me that i haven't posted in a long time... and its true.  and soooooooo much has happened between now and my last post in july.  first off... I will say this summer was really rough.  I found out I was pregnant in June and within two weeks thought i had then lost it.  spent one whole day in the emergency room for them not to be able to tell me much except that i didn't appear to be pregnant anymore.  went to the regular OB the next week and they thought the same thing since my HCG had gone down so much since the week before... but then at the end of july we found that to be a very different story.  while chris was off at church meetings, I was busy getting ready for church, daniel was still asleep and all of a sudden while curling my hair i started to black out and felt like i was very over heated and had the weirdest pain.  i couldn't get up and luckily had my phone close by to text chris and tell him to come home and help me.  he let me lay on the floor for a while till i didn't feel so dizzy then helped me into bed.  we couldn't decide whether this was serious enough to go back to the ER so we waited it out for a bit.  it wasn't until i was reading some info online about ectopic pregnancies and their symptoms that i got scared and we headed to the hospital.

after being there all day they told me i had some sort of mass or something in my pelvic area but they werent' sure so i had an appointment with the doctor the next day.  it was determined then that i did in fact have a ectopic pregnancy and the reason i was blacking out and in pain was from internal bleeding.  so i got checked into the hospital that evening and the next morning had laproscopic surgery to remove it.  the pregnancy was attached to the very tip of my tube so i was lucky the whole thing hadn't burst... and didn't cause any damage to anything.  at this point i wasn't really sad about the experience since i had already been disappointed weeks before but i was definitely scared and shocked at the whole thing.

then in august we found out we were getting out of the military in october.  so we quickly got things set up and scheduled to move back west at the end of october.  it was a busy month figuring everything out.  in the end we decided to move to tuscon for 6 months so chris could work with his twin brother jeff at his office and check out the company he was working for.  and then after the 6 months we would move on to las vegas.

the rest of august was a hot miserable month.  glad to be moving from this humidity.... but really sad to be leaving all the awesome friends we had made.  i was especially sad to not be able to serve on the NOSC board this year as we were going to have a wonderfully fabulous year.    i also took it easy the rest of august recovering from the surgery at the end of july.
