But give me a break- I work full time! Someday, when my husband finishes his masters, I just may have more time. He he, probably not cause I'll hopefully have kids!
Speaking of kids, we have had a very tough last two weeks. We were pregnant but it turned into a false pregnancy and did not progress until my body began the miscarriage process. So I had the surgery yesterday to clean everything up and stop the bleeding. Not a very fun process. The anesthetic they used did not put me under but there is about 20 minutes that I cannot remember. Apparently I stopped breathing and my mom and the nurse were trying to get me to breathe and told me my lips were white. I vaguely remember something about my lips being said and my thought was- oh, I probably do need chapstick.
Yeah, drugs. They're great.
So that was Tuesday. Wednesday I was supposed to leave on my first business trip to St. Louis. Luckily I was able to postpone it for two weeks while my body heals.
My work was very understanding and my co-worker Jen even had candy on my desk for me when I got back today. She's so great!
Caleb's been wonderful too. He gives amazing foot massages and has been good at keeping the house straight and helping with little things. Like this morning- I had to get some shoes down from a shelf but I can't lift anything heavy right now (our footstool is SO heavy) so he got out of bed to get my shoes down and then went back to sleep. Love that man!
Right now I am helping him with his resume and cover letter for a class and so he can start working on getting an internship (fingers crossed!) next summer.
So life is busy right now! The new job keeps me VERY busy. Caleb is taking 15 credits but it's all tough credits (calculus, chemistry, physics, chemical engineering).
We still volunteer (it's a calling) at Primary Children's Hospital once a week.
I have my relief society teaching calling once a month.
And then all our family responsibilities and doctor's visits.
Emotional/Physical/Busy rollercoasters!

So, yes- that is life! We only get the trials our Heavenly Father knows we can make it through. We just cannot predict the trials we receive!
I just honestly never thought I'd have a miscarriage since none of my sister's have, my mother hasn't, and none of the women in Caleb's family have.
Well, I will be going to St. Louis in two weeks and post real pictures after.
I get a private tour of Six Flags after they close. Should be fun/creepy!
And three weeks until I am
Wish me luck!
Again, I am so sorry T. I wish I'd been home the past couple weeks for you. But, I'll be home this weekend and we can get snowcones! I love you!
ReplyDeleteTrish, I'm so very sorry. I'll be thinking of you and praying for you.
