Welcome to my blog!

Well, after a tip from a new friend on how to start a blog and being told that I should, here I am! Although it has taken me almost all morning and part of the afternoon to get this far....I got lost making a playlist and finding a song that I could only remember 3 words of the lyrics. Thank you lyricwiki!!! If only I'd found you 3 hours ago...

The girls and I just got back from visiting Radhika in Seattle which was a great time. But I'm exhausted and as I look at the half-open and half-dumped out suitcases, it only makes me more tired. Seattle was great. We went to the Space Needle (and yes I went all the way to the top and even out on the edge!!), several museums, the aquarium, and of course we had to visit a Starbucks :) I think after a couple of days though Radhika was tired of us...hehehe, she had no idea how exhausting kids can be. The girls loved it though. They had their first airplane ride (well 4 rides) and their first rides in a taxi and boat ride (we did a cruise through the harbor). Alexandra actually did really well for her - she didn't need to sit in time out at all, which was amazing considering she doesn't handle having her schedule turned upside-down.

Well, the girls are bugging me to play on the computer, so since I've been on forever....hehehe...I think I should let them have a turn. But I will try to keep this updated with stories about the girls and their antics and what's happening in our lives, since I'm horrible at emailing....and calling....although the calling I can blame on not having long distance or a cell phone!!

Our Newest Addition!

Scarlett has arrived!!!!! She was born on Monday, June 1st at 5:06pm. Making her exactly 6 weeks early. She was 6lbs 6oz and 19 inches long. She is doing SOOOOO good!!! She continues to surprise everyone in the NICU. We're not sure how long she's going to be in there, but they are not ready to release me yet either so, we're both making the hospital our new home for a bit. Everyone seems really impressed with all that she's able to do. She is not on any machines and is doing great with her breathing and keeping her own temperature. She is VERY red though.....so living up to her name! Her red blood cell count was in the 60's when she was born, so we've been anticipating her needing to go under the billirubin lights, which they just started. Her number was still low (7.2), but we found out she is A+, and since I'm O+ there is an incompatibility, so they started her on the lights before she started to get worse. And now for the story.... Wednesday my bleeding s...

A Year of Horrible

I have debated writing/telling people about this because it's not completely my story, but then again, it is, because I'm living through it as the mom.  So as a friend and/or family member reading this, please remember that I'm entrusting you with sensitive thoughts.  And yes I know this is also on the internet, so anyone could read it as well.  But I also know that I needed a place to write all of this down and get it recorded.  It will help me as I sort though all we are going through and it could possibly help others. This last year has been horrific.  Really and truly there isn't another word for it.  I didn't realize how much trauma I have truly been through until yesterday when I was on Facebook and I was looking at posts from other moms of their kiddos starting middle school.  Now I know middle school is bad.  I went through it already with Riley, but Alexandra was a whole new playing field.  Seeing those pictures I had a literal awf...

My Irrational Fears

Now maybe this is normal, but since I'm not really sure what a "normal" pregnancy should be I have no idea. But lately I have worries about everything. Mostly it has to do with the baby being born healthy. When I told Dean about them the other night, he was like "Wow, I had no idea you had that much that you were worried about". So here's my list. #1 - Driving in the car. It scares me to death now. I really have no reason for it to scare me since I have never had a car accident. But every time I'm behind the wheel all I can think about is what if someone hits me. I'm wearing a seat belt and that could hurt the baby. If the airbag goes off, that could hurt the baby. Let alone if it's a really bad accident.... #2 - I can't open any of the stuff we've bought for the baby. And this is so unlike me, I love to open stuff and put it together. But this time all I can think of is I can't open it, what if something happens to the baby. We can...
