Catching up...

Time has been FLYING by recently.  Is it really almost the end of August already?!?!?  That means 2.5 months until B is 2 and 4 months until Christmas!!!  CRAZY

My last post I talked about a ultrasound I had to have done.  I got a call that same day that it came back clear.  PRAISE the LORD!!!!

The past month we have been busy what seems like every weekend hanging out with friends and family. 

We went to the river/lake a few weeks ago.  Brooke LOVED IT.  We left Thursday night and met up with Todd's family at the River and stayed at their place until Friday night.  Brooke went on her first boat ride and absolutely loved it.  Our cousin Dustin and his friend Melissa wake boarded a few times and she kept asking for more when they fell.  She was dancing and saying "WOOOOO" while we were on the boat. She would NOT let go of Dustin (our cousin- picture to the left) the whole time, she kept wanting him to play with her and sit with him on the boat ride home.

We left Friday night and drove about 45 more minutes to my parents place in Havasu. We got up Satuday morning and went to breakfast so by the time we got back it was to late to take the boat out which was fine because we were tired from the day before. 
While Brooke was taking a nap on Saturday my mom and I headed out to Hobby Lobby.  This was my first experience at Hobby Lobby and I LOVE it.  We are getting one here in Rancho in the next couple months and I can't wait for it to open :)  We all had so much fun that weekend.  I told Todd on our drive home that we should stop back in at his Uncles and stay the rest of the week.  We dont want to wait until next year before we head out again that is for sure!!

We also went to the Orange County Fair with some friends a few weeks ago.  I hadn't been for a few years.  The last time I went I was pregnant with B and we watched the hypnotist and I thought he was SOOOOO funny so I made sure we were able to see him again this year.  Brooke LOVED dancing to the music and was a people watcher just like her Daddy the whole time.  She did SOOO good being in a stroller for 4+ hours.

Well I think that is about it on updates of our life.  We have a busy upcoming month or 2... or 3 :) So hopefully I will have more pictures on things to post about

Life Happens

I tried posting this last night from my phone and it didn't work but let's pretend it did. :)

I am such a slacker...It has been almost 2 weeks since my last post. I have been a blog stalker for a couple years now and I use to get so annoyed when a blogger didn't update their blog for over a week. Well, here I am writing only my 3rd post and it has taken me almost 2 weeks.

Being a full time mom and wife is a chore in itself but throw in working 32 hours a week (i have Fridays off to spend with B-my boss would love me to be back at 40 hours but I need time with my girl) and the curve balls that life throws at you 2 weeks feel like a blink of a eye.  

I have a have a ultrasound tomorrow (not a baby one). No, I have to have one of my liver. A few weeks ago during routine blood work they found that my bilirubin level was a little elevated. What is bilirubin you ask? Im not sure either.  I just remember bilirubin and jaundice going together when I was reading baby books. My Dr asked if I drank (a lot) when he read the results of the blood work. I had to laugh, No, I responded, while thinking in my head I would rather eat my calories than drink em Thank you very much :)  so he ordered a ultrasound to figure out what is going on with me. I have known about this for about a week. My mind has been all over the Place this past week. Thankfully, I have great family and friend who have been there for me trough all the crazy "what if's" I have had or the text messages I have sent.  
I also has my first trip to the ER this weekend (for me and not B thankfully). I wasnt feeling well and had terrible stomach pains. So after talking to my brother and friend who are fireman they advised I get checked out since we dont have answers about what is up with my liver. I was there for about 5 hours.  After a few tests and another blood work up they sent me home advising that I still get my US done on Thursday. The good news I found out during that visit is that my bilirubin level has gone down a little in less than a week.
So hopefully Monday I will have answers and will look back at the past week And laugh because I was so concerned about something so little . Tonight some lyrics from a county song came Into my head and I Don't remember who sings it or the song but it says "... If you want to hear God laugh tell Him your plans..". 
So that is where I am at tonight. I am at peace knowing God is and will take care of me no matter what it is and I need to trust in Him
