Update.

So, I'm horrible at posting things on here but mostly because we really don't do anything.  I'll give you a little run down of what we've been up to.  Sorry, there won't be any pictures (because I'm on the computer that doesn't have any saved on it), but you can look on facebook and they're all pretty much on there.

The rest of July:

I started to feel my kidney stone and ended up in the emergency room, so not cool.  We actually got to still celebrate the 24th of July with our stake out here.  They had a big pot luck at our stake center and it was a lot of fun.  That's pretty much it for July.

August:

I got to take a trip out to Utah for my work the first week of August and it was a blast.  Minus the kidney stone acting up again, at least it was on a Sunday, but it happened to be the Sunday my cousin's baby was being blessed.  I missed the blessing but got to see them a little later and take that cute little babies pictures.  It was so nice to see everyone again.  I went and saw the last Harry Potter movie with my mom and loved it.  I had to explain a few things to her since she's never read the books or seen the movies but she was a good sport.  Got to eat at Cafe Rio which we both miss so bad out here.  Saw a lot of friends and got to spend time with all my family, it was a great trip, but it was so nice to come home and spend time with Jake again.  Jake has been doing awesome in school.  He is above average on most of his tests and is enjoying being busy again and not having to work while in school.  I'm still really enjoying my job and am so grateful to have it and how understanding they all are.  We also had Jake's White Coat Ceremony in August and Jake's parents were able to come out.  It's so nice having them visit, any visitors are nice though.  I ended up in the doctors office twice in August and another day just stayed home and dealt with my kidney stone.  One of the last days of August I ended up in the doctor's office/hospital with a kidney infection and found out I was pregnant (don't get too excited).

September:

Celebrated my birthday on the 2nd.  Jake bought me some beautiful earrings that I absolutely love and wear all the time.  Then we went out to dinner at a really crappy Mexican restaurant (which is the majority of them out here because there are hardly any Mexicans) and didn't exactly leave happy but what can you do, you live and you learn.  I had my first doctor's appointment for my pregnancy close to the middle of September, the doctor was amazing and I plan on going to them the whole time we're out here.  Thankfully, Jake was able to come with me.  We got an ultrasound and I was supposed to be at 7 and 1/2 weeks but I was only measuring  5 weeks.  I knew the minute that image came up on the screen that something was wrong. There was nothing I could do to explain a two week gap.  They also could not find anything to show that it was progressing the way it should be.  My doctor decided to test the levels in my blood for a few days so they took my blood that day, which was a Wednesday, and I came back in that Friday for them to draw again.  I had to wait the whole weekend and the majority of that next Monday to find out for sure what was going on but I already had a feeling of what was coming.  Monday afternoon they let me know that the levels in my blood were not rising and that I had to come in that Wednesday (last week) and talk to the doctor about my options.  I had to take this horrible medication to get what was in there out because it wasn't doing it on it's own.  I was a complete mess to say the least.  I still kind of am.  I had to take the medication for three days and it was so physically and emotionally draining that I could barley do more than lay down in the bed or on the couch. I hardly ate and slept the majority of the time.  I finally started to feel better this past weekend but I have good days and I have bad days, it just comes and goes.  I still don't understand why this had to happen and I don't know if I ever will in my lifetime.  We just have to wait and see what happens from here I guess.  Just know that we're doing fine, I just struggle every now and then, but we're both healthy and doing well.  We went to a Cincinnati Bengals NFL game on Sunday and it was so much fun.  We went with some good friends that live in the same complex as us and we'll probably be doing it again.  We didn't get to see much of Cincinnati, with it being Sunday and all we tried to behave ourselves and not spend too much money, so after the game we just went home.  I really want to wander around sometime though, it looked like a really cool city.  Plus it's only about an hour and a half away from us and it was a very pretty drive.   

I will try and be better about posting stuff but honestly, we really don't do much.  I mostly work and Jake is obviously busy with school every day.  Plus I have facebook and we both talk to our families a lot and I'm not sure who else reads this stuff anyway. :)
