Feeling better, mentally this morning. Still feel physically drained, weak, and sick, but emotionally I feel better about life, and what not. Laurana slept through the night. and I got up to pump, but things went much better and I already feel a little better. So don't worry I am not depress anymore, jsut sick. :) My plan today is to sleep as much as possible. Still hope to be better in time to come to chruch sunday.
PS uncle John this is the jeep stroller your gift bought us. We love it.

It's good to read your spirits have lifted a little, though I'll stay in prayer for all 3 of you. You are a strong person (so's Brad) so I have faith that you will make it, even when you feel like screaming. Or dying. After watching new moms lately, I have a huge awe for them and what they endure for love of their precious, God given little ones.

p.s. Your friends and/or doctor probably already told you this, but acid reflux can be normal up to the first year. Isaac spit up all the time all over and also was losing (or not gaining) weight. He did finally gain though still puked a lot (translation: all the time) but around 10 months it stopped. A lot of times something isn't fully developed yet (like the holes aren't full grown over or something...I forget what it was) and hence the reflux. Since she was so little at birth, that could be part of it. Also it's a 'getcha either way thing' because the rocking/bouncing that they love and/or soothes them when they're mad can cause the little tummy to jiggle and there it goes.

Still have huge respect for new moms, because I always thought it was just the 'sleep and your life is not your own' issue...now I find out there can be a huge host of challenges to these cutiepies!

Annevsary's and baby firsts

Image
Okay, let see, our 4th annavsary was this week. We have been married four years. It feels a little longer. I guess we have just packed alot into it and that makes it seem longer. I am really very happy/glad, that I married brad. He has been supportive when I have been flipping out. He takes care of me, and needs me, he is calmed by me when he is flipping out, he has created the cutest little bear with me, we have shared laughs, football games, Musicals, movies, TV shows, books, basketball games, tears, hardship, lack of funs... in short, the better and the worse, the richer and the poorer, the sickness and the health, alaughter and the sorrow, I married a very specail man and I am truly blessed because of it. I can't thank God enough that He saved bard for me. As for First, this week the baby slept all night for the first time. We fed her at 9:00 pm, put her down and she doesn't get up til around 7:30. (of course if we get up early and start moving around she wakes up too) but ...

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Sanity

Okay so this week has been a little wild. Between getting ready for testing at school. Trying to keep students who are ready for summer focused. PMSing, Brad having his huge action research proposal due yesterday and many other little things, I have felt just the slightest bit overwhelmed. I will say that Sanjya finally got voted off American Idol. He couldn't sing, coldn't dance and there and there was really no reason he made it this far above and beyond that people wanted to see what crazy thing he would do each week. Well finally they got it through their heads that he coudln't sing and sent him packing, me and Simon Cowl were thrilled. Please continue to pray for brad, his feet and shins are still bothering him. wE think it is shin splints but we are not sure. He is giving them the 2-4 week rest period that shin splints need and if they don't get better he will go to the dr. as I mentioned above, testing starts next week, here in teh state of Kentucky, and th...
