Illness Update

It's been over 24 hours.. and no sign of sickness at ALL! I'm thinking we might be over it.. YAY! luckily it wasn't to bad.. She threw up only twice..... It was a more handle-able bug...

Puke, Puke, go away.

So this morning at 2 Emily came into our room... "i'm not feeling well".... But then she went pee and said she was feeling better and went back to bed.

Then at 4 we woke up to emily trying to tell us she was going to puke.. and then puked.

We weren't excited. But that was the end of it. Nothing, all day......

We decided to go to listen to Lynda play the piano tonight.. We were almost there... Then... PUKE.. Emily puked all over herself.

Weird?! I think so.. She went 15 hours feeling well and then she puked again.. I hope that's the end of it. I guess only puking twice would be a lucky flu...... I REALLY HOPE IT'S THE END OF IT!

What am I grateful for today?

A husband who forgives me when I go psycho, even if it's around people he has to be around daily.

A husband who then makes dinner for the kids, so I can calm down/cry about how I just embarrased both of us.

A husband who then puts our overtired (meaning grumpy and not obedient) kids to bed.

A husband who after all that, still has the energy to snuggle me and make me feel better.

Man, I'm one lucky women!

Another trip, Another return.

Last night I noticed that I hadn't really felt Abigail kick very much through-out the entire day. So at 10 last night, i decided to sit and count. She kicked a little, but they were weak. I figured it was late so maybe she was resting.. I'd just check in the morning.

Usually in the morning I wake up to Abby beating me up. This morning she didn't. Then I decided it was time to drink some Orange Juice. That makes her go CRAZY. ... and hour later, still nothing. So it was time to go to the hospital. We got there for the Non Stress Test (NST) at 11... 11:05 she decided it was time to move... and she just wouldn't stop. She HATES the monitor... So she just went crazy, finally. (yes, i was embarrased.. but better save then sorry) we stayed for the 1/2 hour, and then were able to go home. She has really calmed down again, but is still making some movements here and there.

She is driving me crazy.... I hate the worrying part of pregnancy. But it's almost over, right? 6 more weeks...

My doctor wants me to do another one on friday. Then i see him the next week. It's getting closer and closer.. and she has decided to make sure I'm ready... By panicking me over and over :-D

Next weekends goal: stay out of the hospital.. i've already been there two weekends in a row.. lets not make it a tradition.

Today's Adventure...
Making Daddy a screwholding/pick holding box... with help from Home Depot and Auntie Pammie!

Sticker time after it was all put together!

She figured out how to put the middle piece together and did it all on her own.

It was lots of fun!

Emily Eye Update

Today we went back down to the Children's Hospital to see an optical specialist.





Emily's eyes are aligning better with this new prescription. The probability of her having to have a surgery on her eyes is getting closer and closer to no.

We will again go down to the children's hospital in 4 months to check up again on them.

A post dedicated to a long time friend....

Happy Birthday Joesph Daniel Keyes..
To bad he's to big of a hoser to read my site.
He probably thinks I forgot about his birthday.... But no.. I'm a nice enough person I dedicate a WHOLE post to him for his birthday! Now that's a cool present.. Maybe not as good as a poster of the TWO most amazing girls.. or even coupons to go on dates with them... or driving all the way to Idaho to take him out to dinner...

Yeah.. I know.. I'm amazing.

Though.. he probably deserves for me to forget his birthday... Since NOT ONCE in our eight year friendship has he remembered my birthday.. at all..

But seriously.. Happy Birthday Joesph Daniel Keyes!!

(maybe one of these days I'll be able to meet your wife and cute little boy!! Hey! Abby and Eric could be friends or something :-D)

Oh.. By the way.. I win!!
