Visiting The Place Where Our Nightmare Began

I had an appointment today with my OB/GYN. This wasn't my first visit there since having Andrew. A few weeks after having him, I had to go back for a follow up with my doctor. I think I was more nervous about going there today than I was for my follow up visit. I was picturing a waiting room full of very happy and excited pregnant women. Luckily that wasn't the case. Coincidentally yesterday was 6 weeks since my due date so of course I was thinking that this should have been my 6 week check up. Crazy things like that run through your mind when you suffer the loss of a baby. Anyways, I had a good visit although my body isn't acting the way that it should and it's starting to frustrate me but hopefully things will be back to normal soon.

This weekend we're heading to Erie, PA for a few days of camping. Steve's parents are meeting us there along with my parents. I'm looking forward to a nice, relaxing time. I really hope the weather cooperates and it doesn't rain. We'll be staying in cabins with no bathrooms. I'm not too crazy about that but I'm trying to be a trooper. I had thought about bringing Matthew's little potty so I don't have to walk to the bathroom in the middle of the night. I thought it was a good idea but Steve said that it was a gross idea. It can't be any more gross than peeing behind a tree, right?

Busy August

I can't believe it's almost the middle of August already. Summer is almost over, I can't believe it. The weather hasn't been very summery this season although this week is suppose to be HOT, HOT, HOT! These are the days that I wish we had a pool. We've talked about getting one but we're not planning on being in our current house very much longer so we don't want to spend the money on it just yet. Hopefully in our next house we'll have a nice, big pool!

We've been pretty busy this month. Last week our church had their Vacation Bible School. It was a busy week but a lot of fun. The kids had a blast. We had 97 kids that showed up, that's pretty good if you ask me! This week I'm turning the big 33 on Wednesday. Seriously, I'm turning 33?? I don't feel 33. I guess that's a good thing, right?

In July, we took Matthew to an airshow. It was called Thunder Over Michigan and it included the Blue Angels which were cool to see. It was a long day but we had a great time. I could have done without the 2 hour wait to get out of the parking lot after. Oh well. Here's Matthew with his headphones on, he's not crazy about loud noises.


And here's what happens when you've had a little too much airshow


A couple of weeks ago, we went to The Henry Ford Museum. I've only been there once and Matthew had never been there. We decided to go since it was raining outside. It was a nice afternoon although I think Matthew was a little too young to enjoy it. We're planning on going back when he gets a little older.



Right now we're trying to plan a long weekend getaway. We have no idea where we want to go. We want to take our dogs with us so that limits us to where we can stay. I'd love to go somewhere with a beach since we didn't get to go to North Carolina this year. Boo!

And I wanted to share this, Carly from To Write Their Name in the Sand wrote Andrew's name. It's so beautiful!

I guess that's it for now. I'm in the process of doing a makeover on my blog, hopefully I will finish it soon.
