Elggren Herd: Still here

I have been MIA for a while now with our family blog. A lot has happened since the last post. I have had two miscarriages, an ectopic pregnancy which my right tube burst and had to be taken out, having a niece who was stillborn at 40 weeks, dealing with idiot fertility doctors, finally getting a pregnancy to last and parents who are now in Sweden serving a mission for 3 years. I have been so emotional over and over again dealing with all this, kids who drive me crazy on certain days, both of them starting school in a week and whatever else can push my buttons. My patience is thin and wears out quickly. I have 9 weeks left until Riggins, our first son, will join our family. I am excited but nervous to do it all with out my mother here. Eric is ecstatic to have a little guy in the home. I am dealing with placenta previa for the first time as well with this pregnancy so I have to take it easy and for those of you who truly know me know that this is hard for me. I want to be better at keeping up with my blog. This is my journal. I am doing a ton of projects on the side. Doing family history projects, keeping track of my parents blogs and scrapbooks, doing my own scrapbooks, photography bookings on the side, and a ton of awesome project ideas for my home inside and outside but those will have to wait til after Riggins gets here and I am recovered from the C-section. We did go on a vacation in July with the Elggren side. We traveled to California and stayed on Camp Peddleton. We stayed on the beach in a beach house which was a lot of fun and the girls loved it. I want to go back actually and just sit on the beach again. It was very relaxing and fun just to watch everyone.
