Memories to Cherish

I wanted to type a little something since all I have been doing is posting pictures. The doctors say I was about 7 weeks 3 days when I went on the 21st of August. So we will be having an April baby again. I have been feeling very sick to my stomach which is normal. I just have to get through this next month and it should be all over. It's very hard for me to eat anything too. But I am at least taking my shake 3 times a day. I am still taking my Restasis which helps my left eye drastically. I am a bit hesitant taking in since it is a Catagory C in the medicine for pregnancy. But I have been asking alot of questions to doctors, the restasis company and my baby doctor and all but my eye doctor seems to feel comfortable with me taking it. My eye doctor says if I were his wife he wouldn't let me take it just because they haven't tested it with pregancy and don't know the effects on the fetus. That's a bit nerve racking but there isn't anything else I can do for my eye and I stopped taking it for 3 days and my eye just went down hill quick. So what do I do? I am going to put my trust in my baby doctor and do what I need to for my eye and just pray the baby will be ok.

I have started to nurse Canberra a little less now. She has taken to formula very easily and loves it. I only supplement her with it 2 times a day. I still nurse her morning, noon and night. I only stopped the other two times, but I figured the less my uterus contracts the better. I guess in my ultrasound it showed that my uterus was irritated a bit and bleeding a little. Nothing to worry about though they said. Canberra is just about to walk. She practices all by herself. It's so cute. She gets so excited after the first step that she gets all out of ballance for the others. So the most she has been able to get is 3 steps. It's crazy how fast she has grown up already.

Shane just loves his Kindergarten class. He is constantly tell my what "his teacher says" and all the things he is learning. I was lying down with him on my bed one afternoon after he got home from school and we were going to take a nap and he got all excited and turned around on his side to face me and jsut had to tell me all the things he learned that day. It was so cute. He is just soaking it all in. Seth will be starting his pre-school with Bonnie in September. He just loves her. Both the boys do. I think she does a great job getting them ready for kindergarten.

The trip to the Rincon Mountains was really fun for the kids I think. They got to spread their wings a bit and walk on ahead of us on the trail a bit. They found frogs and butterflies and we even got to see a snake which was really neat for the kids. It was right off the trail so we could see it really well. There were a lot of gnats that as soon as you stopped walking attacked every inch of skin on your body. It was very annoying, especially at the water. So we didn't stay too long. But it was definatly long enough for the kids to have fun and explore.


We had a big wind and hail storm the other day. I was talking to my mom when it started and was looking out the front window at my mesquite tree bending over to the gravel. The wind was blowing south. Things were flying through the air really high. It was really bad. Well, while I was explaining to my mom which direction the wind was blowing, if it was going to get to her house or not, the wind in a matter of a second changed direction completly and just as hard started to blow to the North. It got all white with hail and wind and rain. I actually got alittle scared. I ran to the back window in the kids playroom to see how things were in my back yard and sure enough, there was my beautiful orange bell tree, broken completly over in half. It was doing so well too. Totally gone. I was so super sad. I loved that tree, the hummingbirds just loved it. Now it's all gone. Oh well. I did enjoy it while it was there at least.
