What Saul failed to mention

Thanks, everybody, for the comments and prayers! More injections today (Wednesday). They made me sick for a couple of days last time, so I'll likely be mostly out of the game for a little while.

So as not to be guilty of failing to say what's been most on our minds recently, I'll just mention that Chad and I are recovering now from an ectopic (tubal) pregnancy. Almost from when I first found out that I was pregnant, the doctor didn't like the way my hormone levels were behaving, and a week ago Monday we found out for sure that it was ectopic. A baby implanted in the fallopian tube can't survive, and eventually it will cause the tube to rupture, so I had to get injections to make me miscarry. This was sad for us, but we're thanking God that it was caught early, and also that Chad's mom and dad and his sister and her two girls were all here last week to help us through. They took care of me and distracted me, and it was very good.

Here are a few pictures from their visit:

Coming soon: Chad's blog debut. He's got lots to say if you can get him talking.
