Field Day (lots of pictures)

Today was Riley's field day at school. I know most school's have them at the end of the year, but a few years ago they decided to switch because of weather issues. It was a good time and Alexandra got to participate in everything (although she is not a good loser, so we had quite a few tantrums). By the end of the day Riley was so tired, she even skipped one of her races. She claimed her feet were just too tired to do it. Alexandra latched onto Riley's friend Alison and wanted to be on her team every time or just run with her. Alison was great with her and didn't mind, but Riley did. She told me at one point "She's acting like Alison is her sister, what if she forgets that I'm her sister?" Poor thing. I think Alexandra was just excited that someone besides Riley was actually paying attention to her.

These are pictures of the beginning flag ceremony.




These are pictures of the 50 yard dash. (I think it was yards??)




Parachute!




Frisbee


Throwing at stuff in the gym.


Water relay race.


Tug of war.





Long jump.





Running with the HUGE ball! This one is so fun to watch because they are smaller than the ball. It was even better in Kindergarten.



Potato sack race! This is the one Riley didn't do because her feet hurt!


3-legged race. Riley tried to get out of this one too, but Anthony needed a partner, so she was stuck.






Eating Popsicles at the end!


It was a great day and many ribbons were won!

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...
