Miss Me?

Okay so you probably didn't miss me but I do have to apologize for taking forever to get back on here. We have been back and forth all summer long trying to get things ready to sell our house in Helper.

We moved back up north to West Bountiful at the beginning of June - had our 4 year anniversary (which Jeff had to work :() and then we got notice that our house was selling. We put it on the market at the end of April and bam someone wanted to buy it. Jeff and I spent his entire vacation in June getting the house ready to sell (and with no kids around) and a week later the lady chickened out and said no. Luck was on our side though and Steve G. who owns Workman's and the field next to us really wanted the house and gave us everything we asked - which was so nice! So on July 29th the house was no longer ours and it was signed and closed. We were shocked it sold so fast and a little sad but we are so happy that a new chapter has started in our lives.

I have gone back to working out - thanks to Jeff's work who pays for our recreation passes and it has been so nice! I have been able to take the boys to the day care center at the gym and they play while I get my butt in gear. Jeff has been working non-stop since we have been back up but it is so nice to be able to spend time with him EVERY NIGHT!!!! I hated being separated from him but now that is no longer a problem!

We are currently renting a house through Jeff's work and it's like 2 minutes away from his work so that has been nice. It's been super nice to be up around everything again and I'm coming to love Bountiful. I have always been up here because of family but now that I live here it's a different story. It's really pretty here. Jeff and I are probably going to move a little more north in a few years (unless a house comes open close to here) but we plan on buying and staying put for awhile. It's been a nice change to be up here!

As for my health. I have been having some tests done and it took an HSG x-ray test to determine what was going on with me. Since I had that emergency D&C in March I haven't had a period and have been in a lot A LOT of pain! I finally scheduled an appointment and in July I had an ultrasound done. They didn't find a lot of things but did find a small pocket of fluid in my uterus. Fast forward a few weeks and I had the x-ray test done. Come to find out my uterus is extremely abnormal and there is a lot of scar tissue. Because my doctor didn't feel comfortable with my situation she has sent me to a specialist (Dr. Amad Hammoud) down at the Endocrinology and Fertility Clinic at the UofU. He is awesome!!! I'm talking really awesome! He took his time explaining my x-rays to me and gave me my options. Basically my uterus has fused itself together with scar tissue and my periods are being blocked (which is why I had fluid). The blood has no way to escape because of the scar tissue. This was such a relief to hear because I literally have been sick and not feeling normal since my last surgery and it has NOT been fun. Plus I had to move while feeling horrible which didn't help. But because I was soooo sick when I had the last surgery I had no way of escaping the scar tissue. It also didn't help that the doctor who did the surgery scrapped every bit of uterine lining I had and it didn't grow back.

So now my options... well I can either just have a hysterectomy or surgery. I'm going in for a sonohystogram next week to find out what is going to happen. If they can't remove the scar tissue from my uterus then I have to just take everything out. Basically that will be a last resort. If they can go through and cut out all the scar tissue then I will go that route and save my uterus. I did find out (and this was hard to hear) that I probably will never conceive a child naturally if we were to try again. Because of the scaring and such my tubes are probably blocked at the beginning even though they look fine. He said that I would probably have to conceive through IVF and if we did get pregnant then I would have a really high risk pregnancy. So basically I probably won't be having kids anymore which makes me so sad. I really wanted to try for one more - but I have to be happy that I have the two that I do. They keep me on my toes enough!!

As for the boys. CASH STARTS PRESCHOOL NEXT WEEK! I think I'm going to cry! He has been playing soccer and is loving it so much. He is such a busy body that this is perfect for him. He is super excited to start school and is patiently waiting and is excited about his new spiderman backpack. Colt is probably looking forward to the one-on-one time with Jeff and I because we are holding him one more year. It's so weird to think that I have a preschooler. Time is flying by way too fast for my liking but it's awesome. It's nice to look forward and not look back. I just wish time would slow down a little though because I am so not wanting these boys to grow up - even if it is a little more fun to have them independent. :D
