Camping Trip

We went on a super fun camping trip a couple weeks ago. It was our first as a family and we all had tons of fun. We went to City of Rocks and had a great camping spot right by a practice climbing rock. The kids, well all of us, had so much fun climbing these enormous rocks. I'm excited to get more experience so I can help with all the work. Brad made the fire, pitched the tent and cooked all the food. It was a little difficult to deal with Claire too, she wanted to crawl in the sand and touch the fire. The weather was pretty great though, it was chilly and sprinkled a little but the morning was glorious. The worst part was all the crazy wind at night, I seriously thought the tent was going to fly away with all of us in it! But the kids were so tired from all the climbing that they slept through the night no problem. We're all excited for our next outing.

Molar Pregnancy

Sunday June 2nd Brad and I went to the ER so I could get my molar pregnancy removed. Heavy bleeding started the night before and our scheduled D&C was moved up due to the risk of hemorrhage. We found out a few weeks ago that this pregnancy was molar, which means it was basically a cancer and not a baby, we never saw a heartbeat. I still have to go get my blood drawn every couple weeks now to make sure that the cancer continues to go away and not come back; if it does then I will have to get chemo. Also because of the blood tests we are not allowed to get pregnant for about a year. This was all very difficult emotionally and made for a really rough couple weeks. I'm feeling better now, we've been really well taken care of by my mom and our ward. I'm now really looking forward to losing another 20 pounds and having a fun summer with the kids.
