Happy Holidays!

I hope everyone had a great Christmas; we sure did. It was great seeing our entire family within the span of 2 days! It was a little hectic and a lot of fun and laughs. I will post pictures soon...

On a sadder note, Travis and I lost the baby a couple weeks ago. We had a doctor's appointment scheduled for Dec. 17th to hear the heartbeat and we had to have an ultrasound scheduled because the doctor wasn't able to hear the heartbeat. The ultrasound showed that the baby stopped developing at around 6-7 weeks. I ended up having to get a DNC at the hospital to clean everything out becuase it didn't come out on its own and the longer you wait the higher risk of infection. So it wasn't the best way to spend my holiday vacation, but the procedure went really well and I know there will be another opportunity for us to be parents real soon. We have a good attitude about it because there wasn't anything we could have done differently and having a miscarriage is so common - so much more than I realized.

Well I hope everyone has a fun, safe New Year! I'll post again next year ;)
