So, we've had an eventful week. As if last week was not enough.
I didn't end up having a D&C. I passed the baby naturally at home 10 hours before the surgery (not a course of action I recommend). I spent the weekend recovering and went to the doctor on Monday. Turns out I was bleeding too much and had become anemic. It looked like I was still going to have to have a D&C. Well, I never made it to that point, but I did have to come rushing home from work midday on Tuesday.
The good news is this whole thing is now behind us. My red blood count is much better and I physically feel much better. Our family is finally ready to start a new year and we have decided that this is going to be OUR YEAR! Everything is going to be great and wonderful. Just wait and see!

Awesome attitude! I'm glad things are getting better.
Chiara,
I know we weren't particularly close while I lived there, but I just wanted to tell you that i have been thinking about you and your sweet family. I can't imagine the pain....physical and emotional, that you are dealing with. I know each of us, as mortals, experience pain on different levels during our lives. I think it's rediculous when people say "Heavenly Father only gives us what he knows we can handle". This is the most rediculous idea....that by being good or strong, we bring upon us or in some way deserve our pain. That's insane! I know that in the last few months, i have been through more than i had ever wished to endure. And it's nowhere near over. I don't believe that I am going through this solely for the purpose of "living through it". Really, there aren't many other options than choosing to go on each day and do our best. I have learned so much about healing. About finding peace and deciding each day how i will act (or REACT) to my circumstances and the emotions I am feeling. I know we are experiencing different pains. I don't intend to imply that I know how you feel. But please, know that I am praying for you. You are a great example of strength through your attitude, perspective and faith! I know that each of us, despite our challenges, can have a wonderful year. You are right...this year is OUR YEAR! Many blessings, Stacia
