Happy Anniversary!

Yesterday was our 9th Wedding Anniversary. And although Dean had a cold we had a great evening. Mom took the girls and we went and had dinner at Outback. Although trying to decide between Olive Garden and Outback for this pregnant lady was a hard decision. I told Dean earlier when he was complaining about his cold that he could stay home and then I could eat at both places by myself! Then we went and saw Underworld: Rise of the Lycans. I know extremely romantic! But Dean loves the whole Underworld series, so I let him pick. Plus there really wasn't any other movie I felt like seeing. (And just to add a rant - these two ladies came in with LITTLE kids to watch this movie!!!!! The littlest was like 5. I couldn't believe someone would bring kids that little to a movie like that!!)

I can't believe that it's really been 9 years though. Although when I realize that Riley is 8...still hard to believe that time has passed this quickly. Dean asked me last night how I thought we were doing (he always likes to reflect on the past and also to make goals for the future on our anniversary) and I told him that I feel we're better then we've ever been. Which is soooo true! There were so many times the first few years that I wasn't sure we'd make it. But we stuck it out and worked through problems and now I just feel happy with my life and where it is and where it is going.

Dean is truly my best friend and I love him with all of my heart. I'm so glad that we were able to be married in the Denver Temple 9 years ago for time and all eternity. I'm so grateful to know that I can be with my little family forever! They are the best part of my life and I'm looking forward to the years to come.

    And I'm blessed to have all of you in my eternal family. I'm so proud of both of you - how you've grown and who you are becoming. And especially, thank you for making me a grandmother.

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...
