Matt and I have been trying to have a baby for a year now. A few weeks ago I took some at home pregnancy tests after missing my period. Both of the tests came out positive. I was so excited, I wanted to tell the whole world but I also wanted to be absolutely sure so I met up with my doctor and his test came out positive too! Oh my jow was over filling, I was pregnant! I was a mom! I rushed home to tell Matt. We both cried and hugged, overwhelemed with our excitement to bring a child into this world. The next day we told our friends and family, everyone was so excited and our happiness doubled over every time we spread the news. The next day, Saturday, I went to work, so hopeful and excited for what lay in store for us and our little one. By now I had bought a journal to write to our baby about every step of their life as well as head phones so I could play them music to help them grow.
That was all the time I had with my baby. From Monday of my first at home pregnancy test to Saturday around 5pm.
That was really hard to re-live and remind myself of what all I went through in 6 days, just so you're aware.
Now, I'm going to get very serious and down to earth. I feel in order to raise awareness of pregnancy and infant loss the full facts must be discussed. If you are squeamish or do not wish to know that much about me, I would suggest leaving now. If you want to know what an early miscarriage is like which everyone could use some insight into, please read, I really want you to.
Around 5:00 pm I began to have spotting as well as passing what looked like blood clumps/clots. Worried, I told Matt and watched my body carefully. My back had been hurting a lot that day and once the spotting occurred, I realized it was cramping. When I got home not much later, I checked again. I had bright red blood now. Frightened, I took another at home pregnancy test. It said "Not Pregnant."
Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce the first step of grief: denial.
At the sight of this, Matt and I both began to cry. My crying did not end there, I began to yell "NO!! NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!" over and over again while I punched absent mindedly at Matt. This was truly a moment I never want to relive. The amount of sadness and anger, denial, shock, fear, regret, and horror I had was unreal. We had JUST told everyone! Yesterday! I threw the pregnancy test in such intense anger, screaming this time. "NO!!!!!!!!!!"
I don't know how I would have gotten through any of this without my wonderful husband. He is my rock.
Now at this point we had not been able to visit the doctor, seeing it was the weekend. We decided after getting the anger, frustration, and denial out that it would be best to assume we were still pregnant, try to enjoy it in case I really still was and the blood was coincidental. We researched blood at 5 weeks and our conclusions told us we basically had a 50/50 chance of being pregnant. It was really hard to remain hopeful when I was bleeding heavy enough to constitute using a tampon.
This bleeding was a lot different than a period. Like I mentioned earlier, there were "clumps" of blood. The cramps and flow weren't nearly as bad as a normal period. I tried to watch what kind of clumps I was passing to see if I could see the baby. Knowing now that I was experiencing a miscarriage, I know at some point I did see my baby. It was small, about the size of a blueberry with a small, wispy tail. It was red, similar to the clumps I had seen. I tried to get a close look without actually picking it up, but it was so small.
We continued to talk about the baby and tell people but there definitely was a sour tone about it, we weren't as enthusiastic as we once were. On Tuesday I was finally able to go see my doctor and get my blood drawn. He said that the bleeding could mean I had lost the baby or I could be totally fine. I had to take two blood tests to see how my pregnancy hormones were varying. They had to continue to increase or I was no longer pregnant.
Thursday I took my second blood test and they said I would hear back from them by Friday morning at the latest. No word from them came that day so Friday I went to work with my stomach in my throat. I called them around 11:00 am to see if the results had come in (they had, the doctor hadn't looked at them yet). Then around noon a nurse calls me to tell me I was no longer pregnant.
I rushed to tell Matt (we work together). We both cried and I knew I needed some time to grieve so I told my manager what happened and where he could find me.
In my moments alone, the biggest feeling I had was a deep desire to hold my baby. I called my mom, she never experienced any pregnancy loss, nor has any woman on her side of the family (that she knows of). It's funny how most people responded the same way, they were very sorry but had no idea what else to say.
Let me address part of what made dealing with this misscarriage so hard. My doctor could not take the time to call me and tell me the news. A nurse did it. I now had to Google what to expect after misscarrying. I had no one to tell me when to expect my next period, how my body would feel, when I should trying again. I really could have used someone to help me mentally adjust and I definitely did not want to make another flippen appointment just to receive this advice.
Now, having told everyone, Matt and I were taxed with having to untell everyone. Some people may say "then why did you tell everyone right away?" I love my baby. Even at 5 weeks old, my baby had a heart beat, it's body was growing, and every single life is precious, they all deserve to be recognized. Even though I really only knew my baby for a week, I am so glad to have known them and I cannot wait to see them in heaven.
That evening Matt and I were having to mentally grasp what happened and figure out what to do next. We did the only plausable thing to do in a situtation like this:
Build a tent fort!
In that tent we came to feel and experience grief like we had never experienced before. Neither of us has experienced the death of a loved one and we definitely didn't think that the first person in our family we would have to say goodbye to would be our child.
In moments like this I am so grateful I married Matt, he truly is my soul mate. I can't imagine going through this alone or with someone who didn't see me through to my heart.
Before we built the tent, we decided we wanted breakfast for dinner so I went to Broulim's to get waffles and orange juice while Matt got the living room ready. When I was leaving the store it was starting to really storm outside, like bad. A girl approached me and asked for a ride home, she lived in the Ivy and had to walk home from work at the CupBop. It was odd since I didn't know her but I said yes. She was sure a chatty girl, I mean holy cow. She asked me every which question about myself. I ended up telling her through her inquiries that I have been married for almost two years and don't have any kids yet. She then asked:
"Oh, so no plans for kids?"
I wish to address why this question is never ever something you should ask, ever. I literally found out earlier that very day that I had just lost my first baby. 1 in 8 women experience infertility. Early pregnancy loss occurs in 15-20% of all pregnancies. Not only that, but having a child and starting a family is an incredibly personal decision between the couple and God. Every time you ask someone "Hey so when you finally gonna have a kid (or more kids)?" creates so much unnecessary and unwelcome pressure. You have just reminded that person that they either cannot have a baby, have gained weight, have lost a baby, or that they don't even want kids and you know what, it is non of your business if they do or do not have plans for kids. They are a grown adult who has many responsibilities, dreams, goals, and limitations. I have been asked on numerous occassions and in many different ways if I was pregnant or planning on having kids or trying to have kids. It never ceases to amaze me that people think that's any of their gosh darn business.
We kept the tent up the whole weekend, sleeping in it, watching t.v., and grieving, with waffles.
Every day presents new challenges, sometimes I see a newborn or a pregnant lady or I just simply miss my child. Some days I cry, some days I don't. There have been many wonderful resources that have helped me keep a positive outlook;
1) My super supportive and truly amazing husband.
2) The wonderful support Matt and I received from our friends, family, and community. We couldn't ask for a better support system. This is one thing that makes me grateful we told everyone right away because then we had everyone there to get your back when you feel like giving up.
3) We would be no where without our Lord and Savior and the words He gives us through the mouth of His prophets and apostles. The Lord brings us down to raise us higher than we were before. We lost our child and soon after had the opportunity to hear the uplifting words of Conference.
Check out many wonderful talks given at the Conference here: https://www.lds.org/general-conference/sessions/2014/04?lang=eng
I'm still not sure what to expect physically, I could have a period any day now, we are still trying so there's that uncertainty. Our story is continuing to unfold and we are simply taking one day at a time. I hope that you found this informative, I simply spoke from the heart about our experience to help bring awareness to something so sensitive as pregnancy and infancy loss.

Why I am not a Feminist
So there's been a lot of buzzing going on about the two people that are going on trial for excommunication for openly teaching false doctrine. It amazes me how people can get their priorities all wrong. First of all, what proof have these two individuals that women should and are meant to have the priesthood? Every doctrine of the church is backed up in the scriptures, whether from the Old Testament or the Doctrine and Covenants. Second of all, since when did equality mean "sameness?" Last time I checked, equality does not mean sameness, meaning everyone is treated EXACTLY the same, gets exactly the same privileges, punishments, and blessings. In fact, when we speak of equality through sameness, we're actually referring to socialism and communism. In both political parties, everyone is given the same pay, the same quality of life, and the same punishments/privileges. Now, I am not saying that the advocates for Ordain Women are socialists or communists but hear me out when I say they are not fighting for what Jesus taught which is equality through fairness.
President Spencer W. Kimball taught that "Our roles and assignments differ. These are eternal differences - with women being given many tremendous responsibilities of motherhood and sisterhood and men being given the tremendous responsibilities of fatherhood and the priesthood - but the man is not without the woman nor the woman without the man in the Lord...Even though the eternal roles of men and women differ,...this leaves much to be done by way of parallel personal development - for both men and women."
Notice how he said that these differences and roles are eternal, meaning they are never going to change. The Lord is never going to give women the priesthood. It is that simple! I have seen people back up those false teachers and say that they are fighting for what is right and excommunicating them isn't Christ-like. Well, let's break down excommunication.
All throughout our time in the church, we are told that we can leave at any time if we do not agree with the doctrine being taught or we cannot commit to the things asked of us. Elder M. Russell Ballard gave a talk titled "A Chance to Start Over: Church Disciplinary Councils and the Restoration of Blessings." In this talk, he addresses the issue of excommunication and formal church disciplinary action. "Members sometimes ask why Church disciplinary councils are held. The purpose is threefold: to save the souls of the transgressor, to protect the innocent, and to safeguard the Church's purity, integrity, and good name. The First Presidency has instructed that disciplinary councils must be held in cases of murder, incest, or apostasy. A disciplinary council may also be held if...the transgressor is guilty of serious deceptive practices and false representations." There you have it. When people begin to teach false doctrine, they are apostatizing against the gospel of the Lord. They clearly do not sustain their leaders and agree with doctrine that is against what the Lord has taught us. A lot of churches do not excommunicate members, ours is unique in that case but we are known for being a peculiar people so this should not come as a shock. The Ordain Women group has protested conference two years in a row. The church let them protest and still will, however, they must take action to protect the innocent and it's good name.
Elder Ballard continues to talk about how disciplinary councils are held. He says that the member simply states what they have transgressed, how they feel about it, answers and clarification questions, and is then excused. All members involved with the council then pray about how to proceed further. The objective of the council is not retribution, but to help the member in question take the necessary steps and changes to stand clear before God. Any members excommunicated are welcomed back after they prove that they are capable of change and true repentance. Now, the two people in question have already been in disciplinary councils and are currently under probationary status, meaning this is their chance to repent of their sins and come back to the gold of God. They have not been promised they will be excommunicated, they can even be disfellowshiped which is like probation, they can go to church, pay tithing, and wear their temple garments but they cannot hold a calling, the priesthood, or a temple recommend, pray, read scriptures, sustain church leaders, or give talks/bear their testimony in church. Excommunication takes away the person's privileges as a member and must be baptized again if they want to join the church again.
Now, some people would say this isn't Christ-like, people should be free to express themselves and have doubts. They are right, everyone has the right to individual thought, questions, and doubts and they can express themselves as they like but the church also has that right. They have the right to dismiss anyone who does not represent the teachings of the gospel in truth and righteousness. Going through disciplinary councils, to me, is extremely Christ-like. They are given so many opportunities to repent and come unto Christ again. Christ always gives us a second chance.
Now, everyone is different. Each situation is unique and requires special attention and disciplinary action. Some have argued that it is sexist for the man in this situation to be treated differently than the woman. Well guess what! They are two different people from different areas with different stake presidents. You have no idea what the spirit told them or what these people are really like. Again, bringing up equality through sameness. This does not exist in nature, equality is fair.
In my opinion, the way these two individuals are publicizing everything is wrong. It shows just how far from the path they have wandered. If they really had a testimony of the teachings of Christ, they would know that they do not need to be so public about everything going on between them and their disciplinary leaders.
I am not a feminist because I believe in equality through fairness and because I have a testimony of my role as a woman and that it is inherently different than that of a man. This is how Heavenly Father wanted it to be, Adam was made to preside over Eve and his children and she was to nurture and care for each child. This is the natural order of God and Heaven and always will be. I truly believe that anyone who thinks that women should get the priesthood will eventually receive some form of disciplinary action. Same with anyone to openly believes in things contrary to the teachings of the gospel. We are allowed to have doubts and questions but to say you believe one thing but you really believe something different is hypocritical and Christ will not stand for His church to be represented by liars. This whole feminist movement is only going to get worse as the second coming comes closer, we must chose a stand and fight for the right. There is no grey, only the Lord's way or Satan's way.
"Where spiritual things are concerned, as pertaining to all of the gifts of the Spirit, with reference to the receipt of revelation, the gaining of testimonies, and the seeing of visions, in all matters that pertain to godliness and holiness and which are brought to pass as a result of personal righteousness—in all these things men and women stand in a position of absolute equality before the Lord" - Elder Bruce R. McConkie

This World is Crazy
First of all, I apologize for the HUGE delay in blog posting. I started a blog for exercise, and then got really busy and wasn't exercising anymore so I stopped blogging (since what I blogged about was no longer something I was doing).
I get the wonderful opportunity to meet lots of unique people on campus and where I work. All of those people have a very unique way of looking at life. Even those who have similar life styles, religious beliefs, even from the same area, look at life very differently. By meeting all these people who have such a wide varied set of eyes to see the world, I have grown to have many questions and new insights on life and people in general. Now, please, do not take anything posted in this blog to be offensive. I'm not planning on saying anything offensive, but you know how people can get.
I learned through the example of my mother and living with an Autistic brother that life is way too short and precious to be offended by everything. Seriously. My brother has had a lot of crap thrown his way for being different in his Autism. I think it's beautiful. However, a lot of people do not understand and have therefore physically hurt him, judged him, said horrible things about him and my mom, etc. She told me that after a while, she realized the judging wasn't going to stop because people are ignorant. It is her choice to be offended about short bus jokes, the use of the word "retard," and the whispers and stares in public.
Speaking of offensive, let's start with my first topic I wish to discuss:
We Need to Stop Being Offended by EVERYTHING
I have meet some awesome people who truly set up every conversation, approach every new relationship, looking for them to say something offensive. It's like it's a trend to be an easily offended person. See, the thing is, a vast majority of what people say is NOT meant to be offensive. (I'm a prime example of this since I often tend to say the wrong thing.)
I learned through the example of my mother and living with an Autistic brother that life is way too short and precious to be offended by everything. Seriously.

It is her choice to be offended about short bus jokes, the use of the word "retard," and the whispers and stares in public.
The same concept applies to eeeeeeeeeeeeverything. We have the wonderful choice to not be offended if what someone says is truly not all that offensive or they honestly didn't mean it to be. Like when children ask questions such as "Mommy, why is he so black?" (something I apparently asked my mom at a very young age seeing a black man for my first time), "Mommy, why is she so fat?", "Mommy, why does she look funny?". We have all heard questions like this from children. We tend to laugh, blush, apologize, and then yell at the child for asking such questions. This way of approaching the silly question, in my opinion, is destructive. It ruins the child's want to question everything and find answers for their own (a very important process in human life) and teaches them about being offended. But that's a whole different topic.
Whenever people decide something about themselves that is drastic, they almost set it up like "I am now [gay, Mormon, feminist, single, engaged, whatever you want] and I DARE you to offend me!!" Seriously, I have seen this. It is so...petty. We do not need to be this way. I am religious, so I will reference religious things. Jesus came to Earth with the knowledge of the truth and His mission to teach it to as many as He could while here. Never did he say "I am Christ and I am here to proclaim God's word, agree with me or you're a horrible human being and I am eternally offended!!!" He said "Come unto me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." We need to have this attitude in everything we do, it is so necessary. "Respectfully disagree" is the term I have thought is best to describe how we need to encounter other human beings, along with "respectfully share your views and accept when others do not agree."
Let's see...what else has been on my mind? Oh yes! My religious beliefs.
To Anyone and Everyone Who Has Been Judged and Mistreated in the Name of Mormonism, Especially From Me:
I am sorry.
Recently I have discovered how easy and delightful it is to apologize and mean it. Saying "I'm sorry" is such an easy thing to do once we have come to terms with ourselves and gotten over our pride, which we all have.
I have met many people who have had great experiences with Mormons and horrible experiences. It breaks my heart whenever people tell me about a bad experience they have had with a member of the church. I have heard of bishops stealing tithing money, people being judged and mistreated, told how they need to live, told they are going to hell for not being Mormon. All of this is horrible and shouldn't happen, but it does, because even those "perfect Molly-Mormons" are totally imperfect and ignorant (I was most of my life, ask ANYONE who knows me, and probably still am about a lot of things).
I just want to say I am truly, honestly sorry.
I am.
I apologize in the name of Mormonism and religion in general. I am sorry for those gays who felt they weren't welcome in our church and in our communities. I am sorry to those who struggle with addictions and did not feel invited and welcome. I am sorry to anyone who left the church because of people who offended them by something they said or did.
There are a lot of things to be sorry for, but most of all, I am sorry to anyone who felt judged or afraid or intimidated by my beliefs due to my ignorance mixed with religious zeal and passion.
Another thing I want to just state: Recently I publicly stated that I am for gay marriage because I wish to allow others to chose how to live their life. I need to take back this claim. I have been doing a lot of religious research and I am for traditional marriage. I apologize to those that are upset about this. Let me reference why I say this:
Watch/read these talks/devotionals. Even if you do not agree, I hope you will understand why I believe the way I do and am sticking to my grounds.
Next!
Vegetarians and Vegans: I Do Not Understand Why You Do The Things You Do
Okay, huge disclaimer, I do agree that there are way too many growth hormones placed in fruits, vegetables, and meat (generally all food) and it is not the best thing to ingest in our bodies. I fully understand and agree that there are some people who just shouldn't eat meat, like my best friend.
Now, onto my confusion.
There are many reasons why people do not want to eat meat or animal bi-product. They range from "I don't eat meat because I think it is wrong how animals are treated," "I don't eat animal bi-product unless I know the animals have been treated with love and respect on the farms," and "I don't eat meat because I think it's wrong to raise animals for slaughter and they should die of natural causes and desiccate naturally."
I wish to discuss why these saying bother me in two rebuttals.
1) How is this:
or this:
or even this:
Is worse than how animals are treated in situations such as this:
or this:
or this:
These animals are using their instincts and abilities to hunt their prey and if you notice, they are pretty vicious about how they go about killing the animals. It is not "humane." It is brutal, bones breaking, flesh being torn, bodies mutilated, all those things that vegetarians claim to be awful and inhumane if we, humans, partake in them with our skills and instincts. No, we do not use claws or teeth to catch and kill our prey mainly because we do not have that option so we improvise with our skills and create weapons pretty equal to the speed and strength and detonating force of many beautiful animals we know like cheetahs and alligators and lions. We are animals, in the same animal kingdom as all of these ferocious and gorgeous animals. Why is it then wrong to hunt and kill prey like animals do? It is natural to hunt for meat! We are, naturally, omnivores. How is it wrong for one species of animals to hunt and kill animals "savagely" but not for every other freaken species in existence?
2) Animal bi-products. So, some people say they do not want to eat meat because it hurts the animals to kill them and get their meat. But, when you shave a sheep or take eggs from a chicken or milk a cow, you are not hurting the animal. A lot of these things are beneficiary to the animal, like milking the cow. The average cow produces WAY more milk than needed for their calves. I've seen pictures of these lady cows, their utters look heavy. I know if I was a cow producing tons and tons of milk weighing me down, I would want to get rid of the amounts I didn't need.
Therefore, I do not understand being a vegan. (Unless for health reasons) Yes, I know many wonderful people who are vegan and I am not saying anything bad about them, I am simply saying I don't get it.
Just a bonus:
All cows that die from natural causes are recycled (at least in California) and guess what, their meat is still eaten. Their skin is still turned into leather. Their fat is still used to put into makeup.
Also, for all of those vegetarians and vegans trying to make a difference in the way we produce meat, I have watched Dirty Jobs, the meat production will never stop. Animals will always be raised for slaughter. It is how we humans react to our instinct to survive.
Okay, I feel a lot better getting some of those thoughts out. Again, I did not mean to offend anyone. Just to get thoughts on "paper" and state things I know to be true. If you have thoughts, feel free to comment :) I truly try to be an open minded person and love to learn knew things. I hope you found reading this blog insightful or entertaining or interesting or something positive because I enjoyed writing it.
