Alexandra's Christmas Party

Saturday was Alexandra's Joy School Christmas Party. They preformed a nativity and then sang songs. They were so cute. My camera ran out of batteries, so I was only able to record the nativity. It's kinda quiet too, but very cute for 3 and 4 year olds. Alexandra was a wise man and an innkeeper. I loved Avery (our angel) she was so cute.

Mom did take lots of pictures too, so hopefully she posts them on her blog so you can see them. That morning I knew I needed new batteries, but I swear I have pregnancy amnesia....

They also gave the kids Super Service awards. All the mom's who taught this month wrote down all the nice things the kids had done for each other and then each kid got to go up and have their list read and receive an award. I'm so glad that we've been able to do this for Alexandra this year. She has really grown and it's been nice for her to have her own "school friends". She was very upset on Thursday though when she found out it was her last day of Joy School until January. I've had to explain so many times that it's just a Christmas break, just like Riley gets.

I am starting to feel better. Every day it gets a little better. Which is making life so much easier. This has been my easiest (knock on wood) pregnancy as far as morning sickness goes. The other two were much worse, plus it took longer to start to even feel decent. Last week though I got Alexandra's cold...not fun. Alexandra and I went through a whole bag of oranges in less then 2 days. I always crave orange juice when I'm sick, it's how I know when I'm starting to get a cold. My throat hurts and I want orange juice. But at least scurvy baby was getting some Vitamin C!!!!

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...
