It never ends!

I just wanted to say sorry for vanishing. Life has been crazy and getting crazier by the moment.

Quick catch up:

About 2 weeks ago Sean found a house for rent in Highland that ended up being perfect for what we are looking for so we will be moving the 15th of this month. I will post pictures as soon as I take them haha. Faith will be changing schools, but she is very excited to be honest. the house is a 3 bdrm with a enclosed deck, and a laundry room. There is a playground and a pool and we will be closer to Sean's work which will save us a ton in gas!

April 2nd Faith had her tonsils out. She is a trooper though and doing great, much more then I ever expected. No really she was eating real food by Saturday and talking by Sunday. She took pain medicine a total of 3 times. Get this her tonsils were so big the Dr. had to put stitches in her mouth to close the gaps!

Yesterday Kenzie had a fever that wouldn't break only for it to keep escalating. I called the Dr. made an appointment and was overcome with worry for my little girl that just didn't feel good. I would ask her if anything hurt naming various things and she would say no mommy I just really sick. She had a slight cough, and a runny nose and I was like hmm maybe bronchitis?I took her temp before we went to the Dr. and it read 104.4 I almost lost it with worry. Um no my baby girl has PNEUMONIA! Yes, you read that right, I don't know how or where it came from but the Dr. said that if she wasn't drinking she would have admitted her to the hospital. Being that she was so lethargic and she had such a high temp that wouldn't break. By the way it isn't gone but not as high as it was. Her and I haven't slept sense Sunday night and hopefully we are on the road of recovery with her having the right medicine.

OK I have to run because she needs me I will let you know how she is doing.

What a week!

I am fnally am almost 100% back to my ol self.

Last Wendsday I started with a cold and it slowly got worse. Every day I would wake up and would feel worse. Then on Saturday I was putting away groceries and moved wrong and through my back out. Oh the pain. Thank goodness everyone that could help me did. I felt so horrible though for not being able to be the wife or mother I usually am.

Anyway I never got to post certain things and wanted to update you all.

Sunday night Sean had to work so it was just the kids and I. Being hurt I couldn't do anything I had planned so I improvised. While the baby took a afternoon nap the girls and I played wildlife bingo. I wish I could of caught all the giggles in a jar, we had such a blast. Kenzie caught on really quick, at one ppoint when it was her turn to pick a card Faith asked her what is was and she said "um.. it is a stinky squirrel" then showed us the card it was a skunk we laughed so hard I was crying. I thought it was the cutest thing.
After dinner we sat and watch Igor on demand. By this time Thalan woke up and we all cuddled on the couch and ate popcorn together while we watched the movie. Faith afterwords looked at me and said "I guess it does pay off just to be yourself." She is so grown up.
Thalan had his 3 month checkup on Tuesday. My little guy is now 13lbs 8oz and 23 3/4 inches long. The docter said he is absolutly perfect. I seem to think so too but I am a bit partial. He is starting to laugh and has the deepest little laugh.

It feels good to post, and now that I am on the mends for better health!

It's spring!

Goodbye Winter, Hello Spring!
Some pictures of my girls enjoying the snow, it was cute how they both would get excited about the smallest amount of snow. This storm wasn't tiny though it was the last big one we got.

Finally, spring is here. Although I can do without all the rain I am so excited because being cooped up this winter made it definitly seem to go by slower. Although Thalan was the best reason in the world to stay in all winter.

My start of my to do list for spring:

Loose weight

Go through the girls clothes from winter and last summer

Go through my clothes

Spend alot of time outside with the kids.

Learn how to make Jewerly

Well, that's the start if my list hopefuly it won't grow to much:)

Everybody loves Thalan!

So I thought I share some pictures. Nobody fall over, Sean was the one who put them on the computer. Going though them I realized how cute these ones are. Thalan is so loved and everyday the girl ask to hold or play with baby brother. It melts my heart. I can't believe he's 3 months old already.

Daddy and his boy.

Faith has always been a great big sister.

Kenzie adores her baby brother. She holds him everyday and I can not wait to see them really play with eachother.
Thalan is getting so big, and is such a happy baby. Even though it is hard trying to catch a smile on camera.

I am going to get more pictures up soon. I didn't want to share them all at once:)

laziness????

So I am messing with this blog, wondering so many things.

First of all my laziness...Yes, I am a mom to three and I am busy but I still need to find time.

I find myself on the computer very little these days but when I am, I am usually catching up on everyone else's blog silly me.

Pictures of my wonderful children.. everyone wants them where are they oh on my camera.. yes all 258 of them. Maybe they will be recieved by the time the kids graduate from college. haha.

Organization of my life, home, is just not a possibility. I try no really I do but I can't seem to get out of my own way. I blame space, and time and well anything I can but truth be told I am a procrastinator and I don't think I will ever be organized.

Plus there are so many things I want to do... I love to be crafty and I really want to learn how to make jewerly and maybe even sell it. That is only one out of probably 5 things on my crafty side I want to do, if I make the list you might laugh.

At the end of the day I think about what I really should do the next to change some of these things then by the time I am falling asleep I think oh Connie one day at a time. Words to live by but maybe not enough push:)

I am blessed to have my family, and friends and I guess my laziness doesn't really matter as long as I am happy which I am.

a month old already

I can not believe a month has passed already. I never even posted Thalans birth story. Its been so busy and I don't see it slowing down.

December 16th came and I thought I had one more day. Nope wrong. I went for my pre-surgical testing went to grams to play with Kenzie before my last pre natal appointment next thing you know I am at the hospital having my baby boy!

The whole weekend before i felt him move around but not as much as he usually did. When I told my midwife this she immediatly hooked me up to check things out. His heart beat was great-- still nop movement. So she sent me downstairs for an u/s and came with me to try and keep me calm. Still he had a great HB but no movement. My midwife went and talked to the Dr. who decided she didn't want me waiting until morning to have my c-section. It was going to happen that night. I started freaking out, they were honest and said they thought he was fine but weren't sure.So I went back to grams called Sean and my mom set everything up for the kids and grams and went to the birthing center.

I get there and sit in the parking lot crying and praying that my little boy was really ok. I get inside and the nurses were great and very supportive. Sean came with my sister and my midwife came in to check on me and said the Dr. will bne here soon. So my parents got there, and my Sil arrived and we all waited it seemed like forever. Then it all went so qiuck. The Dr. came in around 6:30 then the anesteiologist came in and we signed all the papers and they got Sean scrubs and oked my sister, mom, and sil all to watch the c-section. They took me in got me prepped Sean came in and things were ok. So my Dr. is explaining everything to me and we are all talking like we are out to lunch. She says ok Sean stand up he's coming. Then it all got a little scary. He was stuck and not only did they have to make my incision bigger but they had to vaccum him out. Sean turned white and she kept talking to us.Then it came he cried and well so did I. They got him out and he peed all over them, and wow did he scream, until Sean started talking to him as they were wrapping him up. I couldn't stop crying I just kept asking if he was ok. So the nurse brought him over to me and let me kiss him before he went for his first bath. He was, and Sean went with the nurses to go wash him up and weigh him. My sister stayed with me while they tied my tubes. Then I was taken to my room and was able to hold my little boy.

Thalan James was born December 16,2008 7lbs 4 oz and 19 inches long.

The girls are great with him, and he is a wonderful baby. Kenzie has adjusted way better then we expected and Faith is such a big help.

I am breast feeding but I have been suplementing with formula because he lost to much weight in the hospital. Then didn't gain any by his first appointment. Well at his next weight check he only gained back what he lost and being 3 weeks old at the time the Dr. was concerned. She examined him and realized he has a short frenulum.(the piece of skin underneath his tongue) which is making it so he can not latch properly not only to me but the bottle as well. So this past Tuesday we took him to the ENT and had it cut and he is doing great. Now I just have to get my milk supply up.

So we are adjusting well, I think:) Breastfeeding is the most challenging thing ever and considering its been so cold we don't go out to much yet but I am treasuring it while I can.

I am really going to try to post more. Its my mommy time. HAHA.

wow

I can not believe I left you all hanging and I am sorry. Things are ok here just crazy, good bad and imbetween. I wonder if I should keep blogging I can't seem to take the time to write even though I really need it, I don't know how to make my page pretty like everyone else's and I don't have many followers. Even though it's more my fault because I should send an email to family and friends so they can see it.
Not really sure what to do from here. I will update later on my family just wanted to get that out. Connie
