A few pics

See a bump yet? .. 15 weeks.

Lacie's 4th birthday

Easter... after church, and candy.. mmm.

The past few months

Hey to all.. =)
I thought it might be time for an update... ha! What do ya'll think? ;)

Gosh, so much as happened since Christmas!! ...
If, you don't know yet.. I'm pregnant again! This one was totally unplanned!! The day I finally broke down to test, I believed with my whole heart it would be negative. Yeah,... When the
bright line popped up, I could hardly breath! I was shaking, and I could feel my heart beating
out of my chest! I sat there in my bathroom completely in shock! Unable to move or say anything!
I'm not sure how long it took me to finally move, get up and find Brian to kill him! ha! He said he couldn't believe it either (riiight)
Up to date now.. I'm in my 15th week... and things are just moving right along. I have already had one ultrasound.. It showed one very strong heartbeat (176) glad for that.. Even though it was very much unplanned, it is very much wanted. There is something about seeing the tiny baby with its wildly beating heart that changes everything.

Noah 2nd birthday was right around the corner.. and unfortunately he still only had about 5 words?! I couldn't understand this? I was working with him all the time.. I did start to notice that he wasn't always responding to his name.. or sounds behind him. Even in his sleep when he needed to be woke up, I would call his name and his eyes wouldn't even flinch!! :( We took him to be tested .. sure enough, poor little guy couldn't hear a thing!! There was a build up of deep ear wax, plus thick fluid built up behind his eardrum. They said if you put your fingers in your ears underwater.. this is about as much as Noah could hear. He went in for surgery 3 days later. He had all that nasty junk taken out of his ears, and tubes put in. Its been a week and a 3 days since that all took place. Since then he has learned 4 new words and the phrase "all done"! So proud of my little man!

Lacie is doing good too!! She has just been retested for her school.. they said she wouldn't have qualified if they hadn't bumped up her age bracket!! This was music to my ears!! Even though her speech is still unclear at times.. she is right at her age level!!

Brian is home all the time now!! Life has been a lot better without the second job being apart of it! It does seem since his new boss has came around, he is busier with Fed-Ex.. seems like business trips are coming around a lot more often :/ A few days and nights without him is better than everyday and night without him though! ;)

Christmas

Christmas Day :)

I seen this picture on a blog I came across.. Loved it.

Well, Really I have no excuses as to why I have neglected my blog for almost 5 months. . I'm sure a simple I'm sorry will make all of you feel better right? So here it is .. I'm sorry. I'm sitting here trying to think back on the past few months.. wondering where did all my time go? I would like to say I have some great story to fill you all in on something really interesting, and news worthy. Sadly I don't. Such a disappointment I know!! lol. .. aaa, but I guess that's just life right? I mean the days drag on and the weeks fly by.. before you know it you're putting up your Christmas tree with the kiddies singing I'll be home for Christmas loudly and off beat. Aaa, yes that is life.
I heard a song on the radio today and during the chorus it says "life isn't always beautiful, but it's a beautiful ride". I absolutely couldn't agree more! It seems for me at times I let my emotions rule over me.. taking all my thoughts on a ridiculous ride that has so many loops and turns I feel sick. .. every now and again I pull it together getting back to reality and on with my life. I'm looking forward to the day I can be as grounded as my Mom. She is a woman who has her act together! And from where I'm sitting she always has! She handles life with ease or so it seemed as I watched growing up.
So, I have been rambling on now for a while... time to turn out the lights and get some sleep. .. Tomorrow is a new day on this beautiful ride.

Making Changes!

I have decided to go gluten free for a while. I decided this, this morning. Yesterday I had the WORST migraine headache I can remember having. When I woke up this morning from a horrible nights "sleep" (more like nap) and still had a headache. I thought to myself.. why?... why?... why? am I still in pain?... I have two small babies who are depending on me and there is no room for a mommy with no energy who can not sleep and is constantly getting sick... So with all my given' knowledge of food. I have decided it would be smart to go gluten free for a while and see if I can't be a "Patty" =) For those of you who don't know.. Patty is my mother in law. She is full of energy, never gets sick, has never had a migraine headache, sleeps good EVERY NIGHT, and is constantly on the go!! I don't know another person on this earth who is as blessed as she to have such good health!! I want patty health and energy! ... So IF its gluten I'm willing to try!
PS. I'm in the middle of painting my room.. its coming along.. and I will post pic's when its done =)
