Happy New Year

 Korbyn's class made party hats for the new year, they were so stinkin cute.  The other two year old class made "fireworks" from pipe cleaners and paint.  I had never seen this done before but it turned out so cute and the kids loved it.  I'm glad my teachers are in love with Pinterest and Google ;)

 New year's eve was just another night at our house this year.  Colton had to work the next day so we knew that we weren't going to go out and do anything.  I considered buying a few small fireworks for Korbyn, but then I remembered the last time we did fireworks with her was the 4th of July and she didn't care for them at all.  So we were all in bed by 9 p.m.  My kind of night!

Today I had my appointment with my dr.  She did a pap and a routine exam since I haven't had one since my six week checkup after having Korbyn.  I LOVE my dr. by the way.  She truly cares about her patients.  She even called me the Saturday after Christmas.  She said she had just got back from the holidays and she saw the notes that they had on me and just wanted to call and check on me and to make sure that I was doing ok. 

Today she told me that unfortunately a miscarriage if very common, in fact they don't usually get concerned until about three miscarriages in a row.  I can tell you right now, I wouldn't be able to function if I had three miscarriages in a row.  My heart actually hurts for women who are not able to conceive and who have to go through this stuff all the time.  I just never imagined it would affect me so much.  Even walking through the baby aisle at Target the other day got me all emotional.  Seeing pregnant ladies all around me was kinda rough.

Colton and I talked and we think in a few months we'll want to try and get pregnant again.  We're in the process of trying to decide what we're going to do about our living situation.  We MUST get out of this tiny rent house...and fast.  I'm looking at this whole incident in a new light, a silver lining if you will.  First of all, our house is very small and we've been wanting to move for a very long time and to stop paying rent, well this pregnancy kind of put a fire under our butts about it and now we're on the hunt for a house!  Second of all, insurance.  I absolutely HATE insurance by the way.  If this baby would have been born, it would have been born at the end of August and my deductible starts over July 1st.  Whew!  God just knew that we needed to do a little more planning before we add another cutie to our family :)
