Yeah for the weekend......maybe

Yeah! I made it through the week. Richie is home until Tuesday or Wednesday. The kids have been very good all week, even though i have been a less than wonderful mommy. Perhaps we will do a zoo trip tomorrow. Of course we are watching Gustav, and will be receiving any evacuees that need somewhere to stay. Just give us a call...and if it comes too close to use, we may be giving you a call.

.....Birthday

Yesterday was my birthday. I suppose it went as well as could be expected. Richie went to work and the kids played very well together. I was able to get a nap just before Richie came home. We went to eat, and then came home. I got lots of flowers, from my thoughtful neighbors, and my husband of course. The kids and Richie also made me a cake....or 2 actually.

Every day seems to get harder and harder...I thought things were supposed to get easier. I still don't know what to think, but that is all I really want to do. I have a lot of sorting to do. I think I have the worst healthcare in the world...I don't think I have met one doctor here that actually "cares" for their patients. I just can't wait to get better insurance and doctors.

Unexpected turn of events

Well, i am now in the 20% of whomen who miscarry a child. I am still unsure how this is affecting me, but for the most part, I am dealing very well. I think my antidepressants that I take since the tumor diagnosis is definately helping the situation, though.

Today, i did a lot of sleeping. i think a lot is just catching up with me, and I know Richie is going back to work tomorrow, so in the words of the discharge nurse, I will "return to business as usual" tomorrow.

For a pregnancy that was going so well, and so easy, how odd for it to end so suddenly. So the ticker will be stopped at 10 weeks pregnant !

Visit from the grandparents

Granny & pawpaw came for a visit. The kids had so much fun they were willing to go home with them, and leave us behind. (but they didn't)

Dad and pawpaw took them fishing

but the only one who caught the fish was pawpaw.

So Isabella decided she would sew her own halloween costume, but she said granny could help.

Potty Training

Well, it looks like i am getting out of diapers, for about 7 months or so anyway. Mason has decided to become a big boy. He started sleeping in his big boy bed! Then, the next day he decided to give up diapers. Yay!!!!!

Here is a few recent pics

Trying something new

Well, I suppose we are getting on the bandwagon! We will see if this helps us keep in touch with all our friends and family. I will do my best to update often and add pictures.
