Not so Fun

Alisha says: To follow up Dave’s latest post about what we’ve been up to since returning from our great summer adventure I’ll add my own post. I’ve debated writing this but decided to because I don’t think anyone reads our blog anymore and because we just always blog about the fun things we do and let’s face it, sometimes you get to do some not very much fun stuff in life also. So shortly after returning from our trip we discovered that I was pregnant! Yay, we were both super excited and I began trying to learn everything I could. At 11 weeks I finally got to go to my first doctor’s appointment. While I entered the appointment filled with much anticipation on seeing the heartbeat, that excitement quickly turned to feelings of sadness as we learned that there was no heartbeat and development had stopped a few weeks earlier. The doctor had me wait a week to see if anything would happened and then come back. At the next visit I was presented with the choice of having a d&c or using medication. I decided on the medication and was very thankful that my mom was able to come and spend a few days with me as this was a very emotional and trying time.  


We took my mom up Mt. Lemmon for a nice walk while she was here.
