So, I can't believe that I haven't wrote or posted anything since February.
There has been so much going on.... in March we celebrated Ryan's birthday, and mourned Audrey's due day. March was also the month that we started packing and setting up dates for the shipments to start for Japan.
April came around and on my 30th birthday, there were movers in my house setting up the shipment of our things that were not going with us to Japan. Which was most of our things, since the housing in Japan is small. A couple days later we moved out of our home and in with Ryan's wonderful mom. Granny and Grandpa are the most amazing people on this planet, we have turned their house upside down, and I will never be able to repay them for letting us stay there. Our shipment of our household goods going to Japan also left in April and is already there. We just received confirmation. We also got to spend some wonderful time with Great Grandpa in Vegas for his birthday. Pictures to come....
May was fun. We went swimming a lot and Ryan started checking out of work getting us ready to leave on June 29th. My friend Crystal came down and we got to hang out a little before I leave. I had a blast with her!
June is where things get tricky. June marks a lot of things for us. Its the month that we didn't want to come, since it was the month we are leaving. June also marks the month that makes me 4 months pregnant. We just found out last night that we are having a little baby boy!!!!! Jack is going to have a little brother by the end of November and we can not be more HAPPY!!!!!! Its been a hard pregnancy for me emotionally. I have not told a lot of people yet... for my own personally feelings that I am not going to explain. I am being carefully monitored by my doctors, I have had weekly visits since I was 7 weeks. I am also seeing a Perinatologist every 2 weeks since this pregnancy is considered high risk. He has already placed a cervical cerclage (I had that surgery almost 2 weeks ago now) as preventative. I will start progesterone injections next week and will receive those weekly until 36 weeks. Those injections will help prevent preterm labor. With all this going on, my doctors have also recommended that I stay behind until the baby is born. Which means, Jack and I would meet up with Ryan in Japan sometime next February or March. Ryan will be able to come back for the birth, but it does mean he still leaves on the 29th. :( We both understand that no matter how hard this separation will be, that we need to whats best for the baby and we all agree (doctors included) that I will get the best care here. So, that's about it. Hopefully, I will be able to put some pictures up soon! Jack is seriously getting big and more cute by the day. Just sayin :)
