Update from my last post



I'm finally getting around to updating what has been going on. Sorry for the long wait but our whole family has been sick with colds and flu's and all the in between. I had one last blood draw last Monday which reveled a normal miscarriage. phew. My HCG levels dropped from 3000 to 1000 and now to 45. Which in some way is great news but in others still hard to hear. But it really makes me feel blessed for having Mason in our lives. No one ever really knows how its going to be to build a family, whether it will be easy and no complications, or very difficult and have to take painful measures (physically/emotionally) or simply incapable to have any at all.



We love Mason so much and he is a HUGE part of our lives. We simply are lucky to have him here to raise him on Earth. He loves to smile at anything and everything you do. He has this amazing personality that melts our hearts. He has pretty much the most random hair on top of his head but if you look a little bit further down his eyes will captivate you. His teeth are at the stage right now they are so funny its cute and his skinny little tan (at least compared to me) body, luckily he got from his dad, makes it easy to pick him up. Although it would be nice to have a forward facing car seat. He has pretty much zero desire to walk and learn words but he can crawl at the speed of light and speak in his own language that I'm pretty sure he can understand. He loves working with his hands and playing with legos and fitting things where they don't belong. He loves banging on his legs and opening his mouth and wide as he can while doing it lol so cute. All in all I love my little M. And if he is all I get in this life, I'm a lucky gal.

hmm I felt like I needed to comment but now I'm at a loss for words. I'm sorry you are having to go through this, but love your positive attitude! Though I don't know what you are going through exactly I feel as though I kinda know what it feels like to deal with struggles and building your very own family. Seeing your positive attitude helps to encourage me to have a more positive attitude of my own and be thankful for the blessings in my own life. Thank you for this post!

I had no idea, Aleca. I"m so sorry for your loss. Your attitude and outlook are amazing. It is never easy, but you are quite an example.

You do have one sweet little munchkin there you are raising. Love his smile and costume. : )

And your family photo is beautiful.
Sending love and prayers your way.

I Love that cute little monkey! Such a sweet boy! Good job on the color change for the jeans. I should have thought of having black jeans in the first place I like them better. :-) Love you guys!
