<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal;" /><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal;">Her first month home she pretty much slept ALL of the time. We had to wake her up every three hours in the day to eat and for the first week was waking her up every 4 hours at night. We had a follow up appt with our pediatrician who gave us the green light to let her wake up on her own at night because of her steady weight gain. She fell into a pattern of going to bed around 9pm and waking up around 1:30am and 5am to eat which was definitely manageable. She did also go through a phase where one of those wake times she thought it would be cool to just stay awake... for 3 hours. I quickly nipped that in the bud and make her 3 hours of wake time around dinner.</span><br style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal;" /><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal;">Around her due date she decided to wake up to the world and be more alert and awake like a regular newborn which was sort of a hard adjustment for our family. We had gotten spoiled by her sleepy preemie stage that the newborn “witching” hours were hard to handle. Lance kept saying how she was our hardest/fussiest baby but truthfully I think he just forgot how newborns are the first month (wah-wah-wah).</span><br style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal;" /><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal;">Knowing that disneyland was coming up in October I decided mid September to start transitioning her to her crib. Up until then she was always sleeping in her rock n play amongst the loudness of our living room or in the pack n play napper in our room. She also got accustomed to falling asleep in our arms and as we moved into sleep training it was a little rocky to have her self soothe. The week before we left for Disney she was waking up 3-4 times screaming after we had gotten her completely asleep being held. Finally it dawned on me that she could be having some silent reflux and heartburn laying flat is terrible!</span><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal;">We treated her for thrush and reflux and even bought a rock n play for my moms house for her to sleep inclined. The whole week she continued to be very difficult to put to sleep and stay asleep. One night she even drank 10oz as we walked around Disneyland and that night she slept completely through the night.</span><br style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal;" /><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal;">We had had enough of holding her LITERALLY all day that we initiated a babywise sleep schedule. She did pretty well making the transition to self soothing, until half a week later she was completely hoarse and voiceless with a right ear infection. Now that she’s healthy she’s doing well with sleeping. </span><br style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal;" /><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal;">Just in the last few days (last week of October) she’s slowly getting over the witching hours and is awake and calm during the evenings. She’s also dropped to one nighttime feeding some days it’s going to bed at 9:30 and sleeping until 5:30, other days it’s waking up at 3 and needing to be woken up at 8am. </span><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal;">Bennett and Jillian were both early risers and still are (6:30-7am) Harper I’m slowly making her wake up around 8-8:30 because that fits our life schedule the best (getting bennett off to preschool, everyone fed breakfast, and to the gym on time). </span><br style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal;" /><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal;">I’ve been trying here and there for months to switch her from dr. Brown bottles to our avent bottles but every time I try she screams and fusses. Just today (10/30) I was able to get her to take a comotoso bottle. Hopefully this means we can wean her off of Dr. Browns because I despise them. (5 parts to clean and assemble + they leak constantly)</span><br style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal;" /><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal;">She’s doing tummy time for maybe 1-2 minutes at a time before she gets fussy and wants to be on her back. </span><br style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal;" /><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal;">She likes watching tv upside down which we think is pretty funny. </span><br style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal;" /><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal;">She wants NOTHING to do with her playmat. Every time we lay her in it she cries immediately. </span><br style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal;" /><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal;">She was needing to be elevated in her crib for the last couple of weeks but now we barely have her inclined and she falls asleep just fine. </span><br style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal;" /><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal;">She “smirk smiles” only when she’s woken up from a nap.

<br />
Throughout this pregnancy for some reason I sensed something "bad" was going to happen. I felt as prepared as one could to deliver a preterm baby and being induced and having her early didn't register as scary for me. I knew she was going to be okay and I knew she was going to be in the NICU for some time. What I wasn't quite prepared for was the emotional rollercoaster associated with having a baby in the NICU.<br />
<br />
As soon as you have a baby your body instinctively enters "mom mode." I no longer can sleep through the night nor nap for very long without being shaken awake by the knowledge that I have a baby to care for. This was one of the weirdest parts initially. I had nothing to do in my hospital room because she was downstairs in the NICU. I felt drawn to needing to be in the NICU with her, and while I was there I felt entirely helpless because she was on CPAP and couldn't be held or fed. In reality, I couldn't "do" anything for her, besides pump.<br />
<br />
So pump I did. I pumped every 2-3 hours for 20+ minutes every single day. It was the one and only thing I could offer her that she needed and although nursing/pumping was not very successful for me with Bennett and Jillian I was dedicated to the cause with Harper. In the first few days I noticed I was producing a little, and as the first week continued each day I was excited that I was producing a little more than the day before. But then I hit the wall in production. You see, according to lactation, by day 7 for someone exclusively pumping with a hospital grade pump, you should be producing 16 ounces and by day 14 you should be producing 24 (or something like that) ounces. By day 6 & 7 I was only producing 8-9 ounces. I met with the lactation consultant and used her pumping tips and tricks to try and increase my supply, but instead my left side completely stopped producing altogether and my right was producing as low as 3 ounces total... in my 5+ hours a day of pumping. Obviously tired, super frustrated, and yet was semi accepting of the fact that this is just what my body does and has done with Bennett and Jillian. To dedicate that amount of time... and see little to no result for lack of better words, really pissed me off.<br />
<br />
Once I was discharged from the hospital, going home felt extremely surreal. Here I was, I had just delivered my third baby and she was no where to be found in my home. I felt extremely emotional/sad coming home to my "quiet" house and shed a few tears while trying to explain to Bennett and Jillian why Harper was out of mommy's tummy, but had to stay in the hospital. Everyday I felt torn between being with Bennett and Jillian (since being a stay at home mom they've become quite attached to me and our routines) and being with my new sweet Harper. Every time I was at home I longed to be at the hospital and every time I was at the hospital I felt like I was missing out on something at home with Bennett and Jillian. Each time I would get into my car alone I couldn't help but uncontrollably shed tears as I drove and each time I would enter Harpers NICU room and start to talk to her tears galore were shed.<br />
<br />
We tried to find some normalcy in the first two weeks. We lucked out with amazing friends and neighbors who watched Bennett and Jillian each morning from 8:30am-2pm and I was able to spend those hours with Harper doing skin to skin, changing diapers, and feeding her.<br />
<br />
It felt like it took FOREVER for her to finally come off of her CPAP so I could hold her and then it felt like a lifetime again for her to come off of her high flow oxygen so I could try and feed her. In the back of my mind as milk supply kept tapering off I knew nursing wasn't going to last. The doctors and nurses however keep encouraging me to nurse and we got Harper latched a few times, but I kept reiterating that if she was showing feeding cues to get her a bottle or pacifier. <br />
<br />
I try so hard to view her care from a nurses perspective and to not be judgmental, but several times either I just didn't understand why they were doing/saying the things they were or if they really aren't listening to what I was trying to express. Finally on Saturday, Harpers 2 week birthday, I came in a crying mess as I said we need to start giving her bottles and not just nursing her because I am literally not producing 20ml in a 20 minute pumping session and she's eating (vis tube) 35ml in a single session... PLUS I have two other kids who need me at home and I'm only at the hospital 2 out of her 8 feedings... how is she ever going to come home if the nursing staff is waiting for me to teach her how to nurse and I've #1 got no supply and #2 am not here!<br />
My sweet nurse Becky listened to my crying ramble and we talked with the NP and started Harper on bottles of breastmilk. Saturday and Sunday she took a few bottles some in the day and some at night, but since then it appears she's gone two whole days without any bottle other than the ones I've attempted to give her. Her nurse today said something that sounded like, "how is she doing with nursing? and how has she done with bottles? I didn't really get report...." LIKE WHAT? what the heck do you mean you didn't get report on my daughter....? It says on the freaking whiteboard in her room she's doing tube feeds and bottles.... sooooooooo..... is she really not cueing at all to eat except when I'm there? or are we just being lazy and not giving her bottles but giving her a binkie? or are we expecting mom to nurse the baby when she's here even though in report it should be said that mom is now bottle feeding... Every day I have been asking how much she's eaten from a bottle and the nurse always has to look back through the charting and each time her/his answer has been that Harper didn't get any feedings through the night. So am I just being emotional and frustrated and anxious for her to eat and get home or are some nurses being lazy and not feeing her or not given a correct report on my child and what she needs and what her parents want? Regardless of which it is, I am freaking. frustrated.<br />
Somehow every nurse who is there when I am there knows that I am a L&D nurse... so I know some report is being passed on... now lets get to what really freaking matters aka. my child.<br />
<br />
I walk around stores like Target and can't help but stare at all of the baby stuff... I see babies in their carseats getting in and out of their cars and long to be able to take my baby home. I see others post cute pictures of their newborns and wish I could take a picture with my baby in any place but the hospital. I walk past Harpers room and sometimes just stop and stare at her empty crib, her neatly folded and never worn clothes, and her bow rack full of bows that are all too big for her tiny head. I see the seat, empty seat, next to Jillian in my car awaiting her carseat. I see Bennett and Jillian running around the house playing pretend "PJ Masks" and they are pretending to save Harper from the bad guys. All of it is a constant reminder of my super crappy pregnancy and the fact that Harper, although she is doing really well, still isn't home.<br />
<br />
Of course as I sit crying to myself Lance calls and tries to fix it (as all men do). I realize a lot of my frustration isn't just that I want to hurry and get her home... I also just want my life back to normal. Of course I know that a new baby will rock our normal schedule and routine, but I have been displaced from my typical "life" for freaking months with all of the doctors appointments and now going to the NICU daily. I've struggled with not eating enough or not eating the right things because I'm always on the go and either forget to preplan or nothing sounds good. I feel like an anxious mess as I try and rest when I can but am too overwhelmed by mess or clutter. As I type this I'm cringing at my crumb covered countertops. I long for the energy to have a clean house and to play with my kids. And of course I'm too stubborn of a person to express any of this vocally because that would mean I'm weaker than I think I am or others think I am and the answer to if I need help will always be no, or I don't know because half the time I feel like I am drowning and there isn't one or some things that could make any of it better and the other half of the time I feel completely sane and like I've got things figured out and handled. <br />
<br />
I'm sure the majority of this is just some big long ramble that doesn't necessarily make sense and if you've made it this far reading my word vomit I'm pretty impressed. That is all for now.<br />

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Born at 2:52 am, we quickly discovered you were a girl, you were still and quiet at birth, covered in blood with a full head of dark hair and quickly passed from OR3 to the NICU via the pass through window. You weighed 3 pounds and 4 ounces and 17.5” long with an OFC OF 28 cm. Your apgars were 6, and 8 off for respiratory, color, tone. They never had to intubate you, and your heart rate was always 150beats per minute. They started CPAP at 4 minutes old. They considered weaning you from 8 of CPAP down to a high flow several times, but your fast breathing stopped them from making the transition too soon. We got to do skin to skin for the first time and my heart was in heaven having you so close to me again. </span></span></div>

Your mom got to be discharged from the hospital. Your brother and sister came and were so excited that you were here “in your own room” and were a little confused as to why we couldn't take you home with us. They were introduced to pumping and have been such big helpers with getting you your milk. They remind me every few hours to pump you some milk, are excited to turn on the pump, and happily run your bottles to the fridge. Today was the first day I performed cares on you. I was able to change your diaper, check your temperature, and swab clean your mouth. </span><br />

They've weaned you down to a CPAP of 6, but with your tachypnea they are hesitant to wean you too quickly. You were started on TPN and tube feeds today and are sleeping much more peacefully with a full tummy. No signs of infection so your antibiotics were stopped. Your bilirubin level is borderline so no lights yet, but if you are anything like your brother and sister, you'll be on lights soon and mom and dad are excited to it be doing lights at home with you because it was a pain in the butt with your siblings. You continue to do so well on your CPAP and will hopefully transition and wean down to a high flow nasal cannula so we can see more of your beautiful face and take that “cool hat” off your gorgeous hair. You have the longest skinniest fingers on such big hands compared to the rest of your body. I love it when I place my finger in your hand and you immediately take hold. I learned that hiccups are a sign of stress and you got them all the time in the womb… which makes sense/makes me sad your placenta was small and preeclampsia didn't give you the blood flow you needed to continue growing on the inside. Today was the first day your dad was able to perform your cares. He was a little hesitant because your so small and fragile in his mind, but he did it like a champ. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Day 3:: I came into visit you today and first thing I noticed was the glowing hue of your room and tada! There you were basking away under the bili lights rocking your goggles, and CPAP. Soon after my arrival were rounds and during rounds we decided to discontinue your CPAP and start you on 5 liters high flow! I was so excited because now they would let me hold you whenever I wanted!!! Your respiratory therapist quickly came in to swap you and soon after you were skin to skin hanging out with mom. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Day 4:: Dad got finished with open gym and came down to spend time with you. He was excited to hold you for the first time and did skin to skin for almost two hours. Mom finally arrived around lunch and also got to snuggle you despite being a hormonal emotional wreck that was crying for no reason… all day. Your bili level went from 11.1 to 8.1 from yesterday to today so they stopped your bili lights. We weaned you down from 5 liters to 3 liters and your breathing was a lot more comfortable with less bouts of tachypnea. You dipped to 3 pounds 3 ounces so we decided to start fortifying my milk with some formula to give you more calories and to swap you from an open bed to an isolet to keep you warmer. We upped your tube feedings and decreased your IVF because you are tolerating the tube feedings without reflux or vomiting. </span></span></div>

You continue to be on 3 liters of oxygen, and they decided to let day shift go before they weaned you down to 2 liters. We decided to stop your TPN today and bump up your feeding intake which means when your one step closer to not having an IV. Mom snuggled you for awhile and your monitor kept alarming with high oxygen and was pleased with. </span></span></div>

We snuggled for almost an hour and then you scared mom by forgetting to breath for a second so your oxygen went to 82%, and heart rate in the 80’s. No more doing that or you won't get to come home!! We did a room air trial on you and are going to increase your feedings again. Whenever you start looking ready to eat we can practice nursing or taking a bottle. </span></span><br />

You did awesome and have stayed on room air (don't need oxygen) for a whole day!! They stopped your caffeine because you haven't had any ABD events, but it'll take 3 or so days for the caffeine to get out of your system to see if you have any ABD events. Today is also our 7 year anniversary and we chose to spend it with you. We came in this afternoon to your feeding tube moved to your mouth, you sleeping away, and a cute pink bow in your hair. We snuggled while dad took a nap. </span></span><br />

With your brother and sister down sleeping at Lindsey and chads house mom snuck over early to see you. While skin to skin you were half alert and looked like maybe you were rooting. We got you almost latched with two little sucks and then you got the hiccups and went to take a nap. We came back in the evening to see you with Bennett, Jillian, grandpa, and Kelsey. Dad did skin to skin and when we put your back for cares you woke right up and we were able to try nursing again. You gave a one suck try and were done but everyday you are improving. </span></span></div>

No changes to your orders were made during rounds. Mom showed up at 9am in hopes to nurse, but you were sleepy as can be so we snuggled for a couple of hours and tried to wake you up at your 12:00 cares, but once again you somehow stayed asleep until Mom was about to leave then of course you were wide awake. </span></span></div>

<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-kerning: none;">Where do I even begin?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-kerning: none;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-kerning: none;"><b>Tender Mercies:</b></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-kerning: none;">I've found that as I've told people Harper's birth story their initial reaction is shock that so many "bad" things have happened to our family and what a trial this is. Don't get me wrong, this pregnancy, delivery, and aftermath has been an absolute roller coaster, but I can't help but find so many tender mercies and blessings from it all.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-kerning: none;">- To have an amazing OBGYN (and her partners). She/they have been such an incredible blessing to both Harper and I. To be so diligent in the tests/monitoring/ultra sounds, to think about giving me betamethasone to mature her lungs the WEEK before I actually delivered her (it is most effective if you deliver within a week of getting it).</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-kerning: none;">- To have an echocardiogram done with abnormal results that had us concerned I could potentially have a blood clot in my lungs (pulmonary embolism)... to be honest, when I woke up at 1:30am with shortness of breath if I would have taken my blood pressure myself I would have thought the cuff was broken and ignored the insanely high readings. I wouldn't have gone into the emergency room, I wouldn't have been on the track to catch my preeclampsia as early as I did.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-kerning: none;">- The Monday and Tuesday before her birth we had two amazing friends who were certainly prompted by the spirit to offer to bring us dinner. Both of those days I was exhausted, and not feeling "up" to cooking and they stepped up without Lance or I saying anything.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-kerning: none;">- Thursday night to have Lance's sister and her family staying at our house for the weekend while they picked up their new puppy. They allowed for Lance and I to be at the hospital all weekend and have comfort knowing our kids were in good hands.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-kerning: none;">- To have the relationship I have with IMC Labor and Delivery. Because I worked there for 2 1/2 years I felt completely comforted their skill and knew that we were going to be in great hands. To have them there as I quickly transitioned and to calm me when I was about to lose my s*** from the painful contractions.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-kerning: none;">- To one of my favorite anesthesiologists who was so worried my epidural had gone bad that he was frantically trying to give me a spinal block to make me comfortable.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-kerning: none;">- To finding comfort in my delivery doctor as she encouraged me that I was capable of delivering Harper while feeling it all....</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-kerning: none;">- To whatever prompting I had to just be brave and deliver her since I had abrupted and every second counted to get her out quickly.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-kerning: none;">- To the amazing NICU team who continues to care for her each and every day. Who include me on the plan and her current status.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-kerning: none;">- To the amazing neighbors/ward/friends/family who have extended their kind service to my family in the form of meals and babysitting without hesitation. Who have reached out to make sure we have all that we need, that we are coping well, and to be listening ears.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-kerning: none;">- To whatever prompted me to get an insurance plan with a max family out of pocket of $3500..... seriously.... such a blessing.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-kerning: none;">- To my kids both being sick... sounds like a weird tender mercy, but I'd much much rather them be sick now and on antibiotics while Harper is in the NICU then when she gets home.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-kerning: none;">- To how sweet my Bennett boy became since I was discharged from the hospital. He was a sweet boy before, but the comments he has made have literally melted my heart. He is so excited for his baby Harper to come home. We were walking into the doctor on Monday and he said "mom, do you miss Harper?" and I immediately started to cry and said "of course I do Bennett" and he said "its okay mom, the doctors are gonna make her all better and bring her home so you won't be sad anymore." He's been my #1 helper when it comes to pumping. Every couple of hours he asks if its time to pump, he turns it on for me (well.. my kids fight over who gets to turn it on) and then Bennett says "you are pumping milk for baby harper. She is gonna love it mom just love it."</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-kerning: none;">- Harpers daily progression towards discharge. She has seriously done S O W E L L. Each day we go in to visit her and she has more thing disconnected from her little body.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-kerning: none;">- To an amazing husband who is constantly making sure that I have whatever I need, a hug, the kids bathed, a listening ear, or even someone just to sit with me as my hormonal self just cries... He is literally the best thing that has ever happened to me.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-kerning: none;"><b>Thursday, July 6th: </b>blood pressures were elevated in the morning ranging from 140's/100-105. I went in for my routine NST and baby looked great. I had my blood labs drawn and they came back normal. Still feeling very tired, short of breath, and lethargic I took a nap that afternoon then started getting the kids ready for a wedding reception. I huffed and puffed around the house getting everyone dressed and just as we were about to walk out the door I had the impression to take my blood pressure. For 40 minutes they ranged from 140-160 / 108-112. I called the on call dr (Dr. Parrett) and she had me come to labor and delivery to be triaged.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-kerning: none;">We watched my blood pressures for a few hours, decided to start an oral blood pressure medication, Labetalol 100mg three times a day, and just as a precaution we did betamethasone steroids injections to protect the babies lungs in case I needed to be delivered early... but in all actuality I don't think any of us thought I would deliver a week later. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-kerning: none;"><b>Wednesday, July 12th: </b>I woke up at 4:45am with shortness of breath and just a heavy feeling like I couldn't take in a full breath. I couldn't fall back asleep feeling so "off" so I journeyed downstairs and started taking my blood pressures. For over an hour they were elevated. I then felt prompted to go upstairs and start packing my hospital bag (the bag was packed at 25 weeks.... but I through in the last minute necessities: makeup, blow dryer, straightener, phone charger). I cried a little and then mentally prepared myself for the possibility of delivering my baby at 32.0 weeks gestation. When Lance woke up I told him I was going to labor and delivery and I would update him. Of course upon getting there my blood pressures trended back down to a high, but safe range. We did a chest X-ray that basically showed my pneumonia was getting better and I was sent home around 11am with an incentive spirometer to help my lungs get strong again. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-kerning: none;"><b>Thursday, July 13th:</b> I went in for my regularly scheduled OBGYN 32 week appointment. During that appointment we discussed my shortness of breath and decided that it would be a good idea to get an echocardiogram on my heart just to make sure we weren't missing anything "big and scary." I went in that afternoon for the echo and that evening I got a call saying the echo came back abnormal (pulmonary artery reverse flow during diastole)... basically this could be a few different things, #1 residual pneumonia, #2 a blood clot in my lungs, #3 pulmonary hypertension or some other scary cardiac issue. Of course our minds were freaking out due to the fact that Lance's mom's one year of her passing was the day before and it was due to a blood clot. I went to sleep that night at 11:30 and at 1:30am woke up to the same shortness of breath feeling.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-kerning: none;"><b>Friday, July 14th: </b></span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-kerning: none;">I laid in bed for almost an hour praying that I could either fall back asleep, the shortness of breath would go away, or that I would know I should go to the hospital. Pondering and worrying over it potentially being a blood clot got me out of bed and I drove over to Riverton hospital's ER in hopes they would do the VQ scan that would show if it was a clot and then I could go back home and get some sleep.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: normal; min-height: 14px; text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-kerning: none;">About 45 minutes after I had been checked into the ER, IV place, labs drawn, vital checked... the labor and delivery nurses came in to put Harper on the monitor. They then said "so I know you have gestational hypertension, but what are your normal blood pressures?" I said "140's/90's why is it higher?" and then turned around to see my crazy 160-170's/110-126.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-kerning: none;">I was in disbelief. The monitor must be broken. There's no way, NO WAY my blood pressures could be that high and I not feel symptomatic. But it was true. (I even checked my blood pressure a few times on the L&D monitor to verify). The reality that I would have a baby today suddenly became a lot more realistic. It took a couple of hours before I was given hydralazine IV to lower my blood pressure and then around 5am the technician was there for my VQ scan (to rule out a blood clot). </span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: normal; min-height: 14px; text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-kerning: none;">The VQ scan was literally the worst thing I think I've ever experienced. They place you on the machine similar to a CT/MRI. Place a mask on your face and tell you that it'll be difficult to breathe for the next 4 minutes. For 4 whole minutes I literally felt like I was suffocating. Half way through I started panicking, flailing my arms, crying, and thought I was going to pass out from lack of oxygen. It. was. so. scary. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: normal; min-height: 14px; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">Luckily the results came back as negative and I was soon after discharged from Riverton's ER with instructions to immediately drive over to IMC Labor and Delivery to have my blood pressures monitored. Of course it was 6:30 am as I left Riverton, so I c</span>alled L&D and gave them a heads up that I would be there all day on the unit and to save me a nurse.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Upon my arrival I ran into Angie, who was my nurse, in the parking lot and told her to be excited to have me as a patient. I got settled into my room and we redrew labs and this time my protein to creatinine ratio was 0.2 which means I have proteinuria (protein in the urine) which in combination with my high blood pressures and elevated liver enzymes meant that I had preeclampsia. Dr. Brown came into see me around 8am, and the shortness of breath feeling and the PTSD from the VQ scan had me a sobbing mess. We started a nasal cannula of oxygen just to help me feel like I was breathing. Around 9:30am we journeyed up to MFM (maternal fetal medicine) for my growth ultrasound that showed Harper was in the 24% for growth and was close to being IUGR (intrauterine growth restricted aka my placenta wasn't giving her what she needed to grow). Just 4 weeks prior at my 28 week ultrasound her growth was completely normal so obviously my preeclampsia had set in and was causing her stress. After the ultrasound was over Dr. Porter MFM and Dr. Brown, my OB came in to conference with me that it was indeed delivery day. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> (magnesium makes you extremely hot and flushed so Angie brought in this fan to help cool me down. Little did we know the lowest setting was going to be like a huge wind gust. Made us laugh). </span></div>

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So we started the long grueling process of a cytotec induction since my cervix was fgt/40%... Magnesium was started at 11:36am with cytotec started at 12:45pm. It was a long day and just as I would finally be comfortable enough to fall asleep my bladder had me getting up to pee literally every hour on the hour. The magnesium didn’t make me feel as terrible as I thought it was going to, just gave me the inability to focus on anything and made everything pretty foggy if I attempted to open my eyes. At 7pm Dr. Brown came in and ordered some benedryl/compazine IV for my headache. Little did I know how crazy this was going to make me feel for the rest of my labor. The benadryl made me extremely drowsy, but the compazine made me extremely restless and fidgety and couldn't get comfortable. About 20 minutes after getting the medicine my arm started to burn like crazy and I couldn’t sit still or do anything. My call button on my bed wasn’t working and I had this panic moment of helplessness until Lance walked in and got my nurse. The most frustrating part of the medication was I could think clearly, but for some reason I wasn’t able to verbalize anything I wanted. </span></div>

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">An hour after getting the benedryl/compazine we had the NICU doctor in the room telling us what to expect from our 32 weeker. I tried SO HARD to keep my eyes open, but at one point I just said, “I’m sorry, I’m listening to you, but I just can’t keep my eyes open.” Around 7-8pm the cytotec started to kick in and things went from cramping to contractions. At 8pm I was so tired of getting up to pee every time I was almost asleep that I caved and got my epidural. By 9:30pm I was 2/50/-3 and by 11:30pm we finally started pitocin. From initiating pitocin I started having variable decelerations and once we were up to 6 on pitocin was having tachysystole and we decreased it to 3. By 1:47am I was a 3+/80%/-3 with a bulging bag. I told the nurses to tell the doctors that in both of my deliveries I have gone from 4cm to completely dilated in an hour. </span></div>

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">At 2:00am I went from 1 nurse to 3 nurses as the entire hospital changed computer charting programs. I had one nurse performing all of my cares, another nurse charting my cares, and a third helping the charting nurse know how to chart. Occasionally I even had a 4th nurse in the room to help with charting and other tasks. Things. Happened. Quickly. I felt so bad as I transitioned through labor and remember for the next few hours hearing my nurse, Renee, repeat over and over again…. “she feels _____________, how do I chart that?” As a fellow nurse understanding the frustrations of how much needed to be charted, and not having a clue how to go about it, I felt real bad about the timing of me delivering this sweet girl. </span></div>

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">At 2:15 am my bag of water was broken and things progressed extremely fast (as I knew they would). My contractions quickly became very uncomfortable so I pushed my epidural button and had zero relief, I called the anesthesiologist and he came in to redose my epidural, but once again I had no relief. He came in again 10 minutes later and redosed me while checking my back to make sure my epidural was indeed in the right place and working correctly. Meanwhile I was huffing and puffing in pain and things were progressing fast. At one point Dee Dee checked me and I was 4cm, and 2 or so contractions later I was complete. I even had to have Dee Dee start coaching me through the contractions as she performed counter pressure. I snapped Lance awake on the couch and told him to get dressed and that we were going back to the operating room. </span><br />

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> Within a few minutes we were wheeling down the hall. My hands were clenching the bed in pain and as we pulled my bed into the OR. The anesthesiologist ripped my epidural from my back and said “lets just do a spinal” and started setting things up. I yelled back, “Mike! How long is it gonna take?” He said two minutes and I said, nope, lets just have a baby. Dr. Parrett quickly set up her stuff and within 30 seconds another contraction came and she was out a push and a half later. Covered in blood because my placenta has abrupted, Dr. Parrett quickly adjusted her hands around the very floppy and still Harper to discover she was indeed a little girl! We quickly passed her through the window to the NICU and were out of the operating room within a couple of minutes. </span></div>

What. a. relief. I went in and out of sleep as we pressed through my recovery. At 4am Shauna, the L&D manager comes in to congratulate me on having the first iCentra baby! </span></div>

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When my recovery was over we wheeled down to the NICU and into sweet Harpers room. My old manager took a picture of Harper and I together to put in the Intermountain Stories as the first baby born on the new charting system. It was so amazing to hold my three pound perfect baby in my arms. The thickest dark hair, long skinny feet and super long fingers on her huge hands. Her body super long amidst her skinniness. She was just perfect. </span></div>

I continue to thank my amazing team of doctors and nurses for their amazing care. My sweet doctor who knew was so on top of my care through each step I am forever grateful. I am also so grateful to my Father in Heaven for keeping my mind positive throughout this crazy process. I never once had feelings of hopelessness that I was going to lose this sweet girl, and while I probably should have been a little more scared than I was, this coping strategy pulled my family through one of the best and worst experiences of our lives. I am so grateful to have Harper as the newest addition to our sweet family. She is small, but absolutely perfect. </span></span></div>

I see things from the black and white perspective of a nurse and seldom stop to think of how scary and unfamiliar the unknown of gestational hypertension turning into severe gestational hypertension/preeclampsia/eclampsia/HELLP is, especially for my husband and other family members. I'm known to be a planner, and there is nothing about this pregnancy that has allowed me to be the proficient planner my type A personality needs to me be. <br />
<br />
- I go from having a good day health wise, running errands with my kids, cleaning, doing the usual "mom duties" to suddenly being down on the couch with a headache, labored breathing, or high blood pressure.<br />
- So many times people have suggested for me to just rest, take care of myself and the baby.... and then I see my sink full of dishes, or dog hair on my couch and I can't control the anxiety of leaving it dirty that I huff and puff myself to get it all clean.<br />
- I remember being a full time working floor nurse during both Bennett and Jillian's pregnancies and powered through the 12 hour shifts despite being tired and exhausted. My feet were horrendous even in compression socks with Bennett's pregnancy, and for the last week I've struggled to do ordinary things because of how swollen my feet are. Lance and I went on a date to see a movie and I couldn't even sit still because of how uncomfortable my swollen feet were.<br />
- Its still up for debate as to whether my symptoms/side effects are from high blood pressure or having pneumonia, or maybe they are common 3rd trimester 3rd pregnancy things that I just don't remember, but laying down in bed or on the couch literally has be short of breath. I literally have felt since being diagnosed with pneumonia that taking in a full deep breath is impossible. Walking up the stairs has be huffing and puffing, and even rolling out of bed in the middle of the night is a struggle.<br />
- At 31.1 weeks gestation we decided to do betamethasone steroid shots. Apparently they cause insomnia. Night one I was awake tossing and turning until 2:30am (when my unisom kicked in) unable to sleep. Night 2 was 1am, night 3 was midnight, night 4 was 12:30am with a "hangover" type lethargy that lasted the next day until nearly 4:30pm. It's interesting because BMZ causes insomnia, but my blood pressure medications are supposed to cause fatigue and lethargy. Unfortunately I'm feeling the lethargy during the day (I'm sure in combo with the unisom) and the insomnia at night.<br />
- Since we've been married we always envisioned a family of 6. I knew (once we were able to have kids) that we wanted to have a big family. Even getting pregnant this go around I was desperately praying for twins because I wanted my 4 kiddos and to be done being pregnant. I cried a little on the inside when there was just one at our ultrasound, but obviously the Lord knows all and knows what we can handle. Throughout this pregnancy I've never once felt that "this was the end" "the last kid" "the last pregnancy," but as I've endured these last couple of weeks and know I have 5 weeks left until induction day I can't help but feel physically incapable of doing this again. The coughing, the pneumonia, the headaches, blood pressure, monitoring, shortness of breath, +3 edema in my feet, unable to simply move and be the 27 year old version my mind thinks I'm capable of being.

<br /></div>
I've had so many thoughts, feelings, and emotions surrounding this third pregnancy I'm not quite sure how eloquently I will be able to put them into words. <br />
<br />
Flashback to 2011-2013, what I would like to define as our most "emotionally challenging years" as a young couple. We were in the thick of trying to finish school, amidst a rigorous nursing program with clinical rotations and working full time as a CNA. Lance was busy waking up with the sun to mow lawns, grow his pest control business, work as a teachers assistant, finish his bachelors degree, and coach basketball. Not to mention we were in the process of building what we thought was going to be our "dream 'forever' home." In hindsight I see how having a baby probably wasn't the best "timing," but tell that to someone struggling with infertility and they might slap you in the face. We spent thousands of dollars, had dozens of tests and ultrasounds done, performed seven intrauterine inseminations, and shed hundreds of tears when it was all for not. Then our miracle happened and Bennett entered our lives.<br />
<br />
You see, when you struggle with infertility it basically classically conditions you to be disappointed every time your period shows up, or a pregnancy test is negative, even when you aren't "trying" to get pregnant. You have overwhelming emotions of fear, anxiety, and frustration at even the thought of having to endure the struggle yet again.<br />
<br />
Of course you know that just 4 short months after Bennett was born we got pregnant with Jillian and have been CRAZY busy with two kids just thirteen months apart.<br />
We knew we wanted to space out a third child because physically, emotionally, and financially we just weren't quite ready to have 3 kids under 2 years old (as most people aren't). <br />
<br />
As Jillian turned 1 year we made the plan that the fall/winter that Bennett would be turning 4 and Jillian would be turning 3 would be the "soonest ideal time" to have our 3rd baby. It would allow for me to be on maternity leave through basketball season (which was a life saver for scheduling with my work and basketball games my previous two maternity leaves).<br />
<br />
So the time came where we were going to "start trying" and I became excited, anxious, nervous, and impatient. I took 4 pregnancy tests across a 2 week span with three of the 4 coming back as negative. I was extremely frustrated as I sat in disbelief. A 35 day cycle? This is what happened as we entered the 2 years of infertility with Bennett. Was I about to go through this all over again? More infertility? More stress and frustrations? I was literally emotionally crippled at the thought of not being able to get pregnant. <br />
<br />
I pleaded with my Heavenly Father to either 1. be pregnant or 2. start my period so I could move out of this limbo stage I was sitting in. <br />
<br />
I had made this video college for Lance as part of his Christmas present in hopes that I could tell him at the end that we were expecting, but as timing would have it I didn't get the BFP until after New Years. <br />
<br />

<br />
Yay! We are pregnant!!<br />
<br />
The news was exciting for just a few weeks before the morning sickness took all the fun out of being pregnant. I had gone from a very active, fun mom taking my kids to the gym 5 times a week and going on "fun trips" to the park, museum, aquarium, ect. to a blob on the couch that could barely get up to fix my kids breakfast. Some may say that is typical for the first trimester, but it was NOT typical for me. I had worked full time as a nurse through my other two pregnancies and had occasional moments of nausea, but never full blown, all day, "morning" sickness in addition to 4 weeks of serious neck pain. I went through almost $300 in pillows and a few chiropractors visits before it was finally resolved. The only days I could really pull myself were basketball game days medicated with Zofran.<br />
<br />
Just as my first trimester ended and I started to feel like myself again it was short lived as my gestational hypertension started to reveal itself. With gestational hypertension the headaches also became more severe, like they are each others evil twin. Can't have one without the other. Starting at just 20 weeks gestation my diastolic (the bottom #) was consistently hitting in the 90's and occasionally hitting in the upper 90's to low 100's. I contacted my MD who advised anything >105 would require me to be on an antihypertensive medication (anything >110 is considered severe range). I had dealt with gestational hypertension with the end of Bennett's pregnancy and for half of Jillian's pregnancy so it wasn't new to me, but for some reason this time, this pregnancy, felt so different. My body from as early as 7 weeks was going on a roller coaster ride of anxiety and what some days felt like depression. I was irritable and quick to scream and yell at my kids and husband. I was easily frazzled by things that pre-pregnancy wouldn't have phased me. I was living mentally in a very lonely place, but just as I felt out of control I would see a light pull me up to the surface for a few days of normalcy, then dunk me back under. I failed to mention it to my MD because those times when I felt normal were the weeks I had an appointment, and I thought I have conquered the beast myself. As a L&D nurse I had my fair share of patients on anti-anxiety and antidepressant medications and the outcome was usually a very calm and almost sedative like newborn who had no respiratory drive to breath on their own. Combine that with a 37 week (or earlier) baby and I just felt total mom guilt for even thinking about getting on any medication to help me cope.<br />
<br />
Finally at my 24 week appointment I vocalized my anxiety and was given a few options: medication, meditation, and me time. I decided to try some meditation, and be more vocal about needing me time and or date nights and the dark clouds were slowly dissipating. Then one Friday night as we were celebrating our friends birthday I got a severe headache. Once we got home I saw my pressures consistently in the 100's and took two headache pills (the type we give when you come into L&D for a headache) and monitored by blood pressure all night to make sure it was trending down. My stubbornness had gotten the best of me and I instead was triaging myself (playing nurse and patient) because I did not want to be at the hospital all night monitored. I did not want for them to tell me I would need hospital bedrest for the remainder of my pregnancy. I certainly didn't want them to tell me I would need to deliver a 24 1/2 week old baby (which was unlikely...). I just wanted to be ignorant, strong, and smart (I'm not sure how those things fit together... but thats what I wanted). <br />
I felt better the next could of days only to go into a full blown panic attack the following Tuesday. My blood pressures were high 100's, even as high as 146/112. My head was throbbing, hands shaking, and uncontrollably sobbing. I knew my symptoms were anxiety related. I knew if I could just CALM DOWN my blood pressures would stabilize and I would be fine, but then my mind turned to this tiny 25 week old baby inside. Was it tolerating my anxiety? Was it getting enough oxygen from my "crappy" placenta? <br />
<br />
I quickly packed up my kids, threw them in the car and made the journey to the hospital. The 30 minute drive there calmed me a little, but as soon as I walked in the doors and saw my former co-worked the water works started again. I moved into a triage room and waited for 20+ minutes before my nurse came in (of course I'd show up when they are drowning in patients). My first pressure was 120's/98 and from there trended down to normal blood pressures. My baby was active and had a beautiful tracing, and my headache subsided with an ice pack and some Fiorcet (the headache medicine). <br />
<br />
Of course when you show up to labor and delivery with high-severe range blood pressures and your doctor finds out she brilliantly categorizes you as high risk and increases your monitoring tenfold. The next day I got a call from the nurse saying I would now need twice weekly non-stress tests, ever 1-2 week(s) lab draws, every 2 week dr. appointments, and monthly growth ultrasounds. That's a LOT of driving to the hospital, and all of the non-stress tests and ultrasounds are restricted to kids.<br />
<br />
Bless my sweet ward/neighbors for stepping up and being willing to watch my kids as I go in for monitoring. <br />
<br />
In addition, I've found a new love for yoga as its calmed my spirit and given me a sense of peace I have been missing this entire pregnancy. I've spent more time poolside with my kids and the vitamin D has helped immensely to drain their energy so they nap (haha) and overall made me feel a lot better.<br />
<br />
I keep thinking about these next 9 weeks. To try and enjoy every minute I have with just Bennett and Jillian. To let them know they are loved and to soak up their spirits instead of being quick to anger. After all, they are only 2 1/2 and 3 1/2. I am preparing these next 9 week to taking care of myself, body, mind, and spirit. To know my limitations, to ask for help, to having a strong body capable of carrying this babe. I am striving to be more in tune with my health, responsible as a patient (those dang nurses are the most stubborn patients), and enjoying my two days a week where I get to listen to the sweet beating of this babes heartbeat and leave with the reassurance that it is safe and all is well. I'm excited for the day (hopefully 9 weeks from now and not sooner) that this sweet babe will be here. A little frightened by being outnumbered 3 to 2 with kids to parents, but so freaking excited to see Bennett and Jillian in a "big brother" "big sister" role to a new infant. <br />

Here's to making it to a 37 week induction day!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07816142091669597171noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964131212477048744.post-15514042141154087842017-06-13T21:16:00.002-07:002017-06-13T21:16:59.356-07:00Disneyland Memorial Trip 2016<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;">I have definitely been struggling in the blog department... since Jillian was a baby (whoops). Life has been crazy and so many other things have consumed my attention. Back in July Lance's mom, Ronalyn, passed away in her sleep as the result of a blood clot. She was the definition of a vacation mom. She would plan a vacation out of the minute and while you were on the vacation with her, she would start planning the next family vacation. She was extremely passionate about Disneyland and her family (not in any particular order). As we have continued this life without her as the ring leader for family dinners, family trips, and all things vacation we decided the best way to honor her birthday would be to go exactly where she would want to go with exactly who she'd want to be with, Disneyland with the grandkids!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;">Timing seemed to workout for our little family and the Anglin's to allow us to drive to Cedar City to celebrate the baby blessing of grandkid number 5 and continue on the road all the way to Anaheim. It was a long drive for both cars carrying 5 kids 3 years old and under, but somehow we survived the drive and got to Anaheim before midnight on Sunday. We settled into our VRBO with Lance's cousin Chad's family of five. The home was a quaint little home walking distance from the park with a pool and hot tub. Each morning we scrambled to get the kids breakfast, get dressed, and be on our way walking towards the park entrance just as they were opening the gates. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;">We spent two days in Disneyland and two days in California Adventure and as always it was busier the first day that I had anticipated for early May. Day one was by far the busiest, and I wonder if its just because its Monday and thats an easier day for people to take off of work or for traveling. We started with Bennett, Hudson, Gage, and the dads going on Star Tours. All of them passed the required 40" until Hudson was at the front of the line and the worker told him he was too short and kicked him out (after waiting in line for 20+ minutes!). Landon was pissed so he folded Hudson's socks, went back in line, and had the initial worker walk him to the front of the ride to allow Hudson and him on without issue. This multiple measuring of Hudson happened multiple times throughout the week that Hudson got so used to just running over to the measuring board and standing his neck tall. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;">Per Kelsey's instructions we entered the park on day one and got each of the 4 kids their bubble wands. These became great entertainment and also a huge pain in the butt as they used them to make bubble mounds that made each other wet. Those bubbles lasted for what felt like eternity and even a month later Jillian and Bennett go into the backyard and use their bubble wands. </span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;">Jillian, Bennett, and I went to Disneyland back in January (mid basketball season) to get some use our of our annual passes while I was in my first trimester. It was on our last day that she finally built up the courage to meet Minnie Mouse and it was simply magical. She kept saying "Minnie Mouse nice, she gave me a hug." Since January I've tried to encourage the love of Disney characters (and princesses) and it worked!! This trip was packed FULL of character meeting for Jillian and the other girls (who weren't tall enough to go on the big rides with their brothers). Every time we'd take the boys on a big ride the girls would find a character meeting spot (or a kiddie ride) and had a blast. </span><br />

The kids did surprisingly well being patient and staying in line. A few times their attention spans got the best of them, but luckily we had Lindsey with us (Mrs. Fun Mom) who would whip out a song, simon says, dance game, or something else to captivate the attention of our kidlets which allowed us to stay sane. </span><br />

As I mentioned, we have been talking with Jillian for the last few months about meeting Disney princesses. We even started watching Beauty and the Beast and Tangled in addition to her other favorites, The Little Mermaid and Frozen which had her simply smitten to meet these princesses. She's taken full advantage of all her princess dresses and plays dress up 80% of the day. She has even skipped naps and changed in and out of princess dresses in her room for hours as well as missed some bathroom cues leading to pee accidents because she didn't want to take off her princess dresses. For weeks leading up to our trip she kept asking when we go to Disneyland so she could dance with Belle. Boy oh boy did we luck out. We were able to meet Ana on day 2 and that was just the beginning. Day 3 we waited in line at the Royal Palace (i think that's what its called) and met Snow White, Cinderella and Ariel. Day 4 we ate at Ariels Grotto and the experience of meeting Rapunzel, Belle, Cinderella, Ariel, and Tiana was priceless. <br />

<span style="color: #444444;">Ariel's Grotto was really an event. You walk in and prior to being seated you get to a meet and greet with Ariel. As soon as everyone is seated at their table a Jester announces and presents a new princess every 5 minutes until all 4 of them are out meeting and greeting the tables. Each princess comes up to your table and interacts with your family, takes pictures, and chats with the little ones. Belle even tried to dance will Jillian just as she wanted. Seriously heart melting. The food was also pretty good (pricey of course) but now my kids are obsessed with their hotdogs looking like an octopus. </span><br />

Just as we suspected Bennett (and Hudson) simply LOVED going on all the big kid rides. I planned to get Bennett a poncho, but somehow never got around to it. He went on Splash mountain 3 times. The first time with Lance his shorts got a little wet and he was a little frustrated. The second time he rode with me and he literally cheered and shouted for joy at the end of the ride, "yahoo!!!! I didn't even get wet! My shorts are dry!" Time number 3 however, the very first "dip" the water came up over the front and drenched Bennett from head to toe. He spent the rest of the ride crying because he was wet. Lance carried him over to me after the ride with the saddest look on his face. Luckily I had brought a change of shorts and a hoodie for him to change into. </div>

By the end of day 3 my pregnant feet were swollen and exhausted from our 8-11 mile walks each day... 30 miles of pregnant walking!! I decided I had no shame and rented an electric scooter to buzz around the park for our last day. It. Was. Legit. Not only was it SO HOT on our final day, but the kids loved the change from riding in the stroller and enjoyed scootering around with me on the Jazzi. $50 investment WELL SPENT!<br />
<br />
The walk back to the house each afternoon left our toddlers exhausted. Most of the time they would pass out in the stroller during the 20 minute walk. At one point Hudson was standing on the glider board trying to rest his head in 5 different positions so he could fall asleep standing up. One day we decided to take the glider and Jillian got too tired to stand so we found her a little "seat" next to Bennett.<br />

After 4 long and exhausting days at Disneyland we packed our things and headed towards the beach. We enjoyed a fantastic meal at Ruby's and definitely overwhelmed them with our table for 14..... 8 of those being under 5 years of age. The kids watched as fishermen caught some fish off the end of the pier and were fascinated and disgusted as the fish flopped around in their "buckets."</div>

<span style="color: #444444;">The drive home was probably the most torturous we've had to endure in a long while. Friday early afternoon.... It literally took us nearly 7 1/2 hours to get to Las Vegas when it should have only taken 4. We were stuck in traffic while Jillian decided to forgo her daily nap. </span><br />

All in all the trip was fabulous. Our kids did great waiting in line and being (for the most part) patient. They were excited, happy, and passionate about all that we experienced while at Disney.<br />
We spent the final night in California Adventure watching the World of Color and let me tell you, that was the absolute perfect way for us to end our Disney trip. I sat holding Bennett as he dosed in and out with the beautiful music and captivating lights to only feel Rona's spirit so strongly with us. There are so many times I am still in disbelief that she is no longer on this earth with us, but how grateful I am for her life, for her legacy, and for all that she has taught me. <br />

So my mom called me back in September and wanted us to travel down to California on honor of Bennett's birthday instead of her coming up here. So we booked the flights and made it happen! A week in disney with a 2 and 3 year old! sounds exhausting. Well, it was, but it was also amazing.</div>

We figured out that it would be more cost effective to buy annual disney passes then it would be to get the socal pass (3 days at disney, 1 lego land, 1 sea world), since we would be coming back to Disney in the spring or next fall and this go around we didn't have to pay for either kid.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Sunday Day #1. We checked in and got our annual passes and entered Disneyland. Waiting in line for Peter Pan for nearly 45 minutes. Bennett dancing to pass the time. </div>

Went on as many rides as we could before our kids were tuckered out (11am) and then walked back to the hotel. We stayed at the Anabella which was Lance's mom's favorite hotel to stay at. It's spanish style and directly across the street from Disney making it an easy commute with a stroller. It's definitely an older hotel, but the best part was that inside the room it had a separate room with a full size daybed that we used as the kids room. They slept together peacefully most nights and we could have the tv on or talk and didn't have to worry they'd wake up. </div>

Each and everyday our kids took between a 2.5 and 4 hour nap! So we also got a daily nap in...it was amazing! They did however wake up between 5am and 6am every morning regardless of how late we stayed up. My little early birds. It ended up being okay that they woke up early because it got the rest of us to get up and start getting ready, have a sit down breakfast, and be at the park gates when they opened. </div>

My mom joined us about 50% of the time we were in the park. She rode all the rides with the kids, and had a blast watching them get so excited over everything. My mom and stepdad now have their own annual passes. I'll be interested to know how many times they use them before we come down again :-D<br />

Bennett became infatuated with having his face painted while at Disneyland. He was surprisingly very still as they painted his spider and batman and went around the rest of the day pretending to be that superhero.<br />

We enjoyed two days of breakfast at the Grand Californian Hotel's restaurant Storyteller Cafe. This place is legit. They had 4 characters walking around from table to table. Bennett was able to meet all of them several times throughout our meal and it was a breakfast buffet. Sounds like a cruise to me!! (DREAMY). Jillian was a hater and scared of all of the characters, but Bennett was almost so excited he chased a few of them to different tables.<br />

On Friday afternoon we left Anahiem and traveled south to San Diego where my brother and his family live. We went to dinner and celebrated Bennett turning 3 with a "white captain Jake cake" per Bennett's instructions. <br />

Saturday we traveled to the coast and let the kids see the beach for their 2nd time. Bennett the neat freak that he is was really mad when I took off his shoes and made him walk in the sand, but by the end of the morning he was burying my feet, and throwing sand all about. Jillian as you can tell had a blast even with a wet sock covering her poor exposed blister.<br />

Thanks mom for inviting us to come out and enjoy a week of family time. I sure to love these two little tikes and am grateful for the memories.</div>

No brainer. Off to California we went. I thought it would I was prepared to handle my kids on vacay but Jillian decided to be independent and be a crib crawler-outer. Oy vey! We spent Monday afternoon through Thursday evening in Garden Grove with my mom. It was refreshing to be in California and had a lot of fun taking the kids to Disneyland and the beach for their first time. It was most definitely hot and I don't think I will commit to going to any theme park in the middle of July again, but the kids didn't seem to mind. Bennett was captivated by the fireworks, parade, characters, and rides. He loved the little kid coaster in toon-town. Jillian, however, was deathly afraid of almost every ride except Dumbo, Carousel and the Rocketship ride. Those she wanted to go on again and again. We also took them to Huntington Beach where Bennett got trampled by the first wave and refused to go in the water, and had panic attacks over his hands being "dirty" with sand. Toddlers will be toddlers right??<br />

And surprise surprise! I'm an auntie!! My brother and his girlfriend Marci had a baby boy, Zar on July 19th. It was perfect timing that I just so happened to be in California so we ventured down on the eve of his birth to meet him. A few days past his due date and a spitting image of my brother. I'm excited to see how similar Bennett and Zar will look because I think Bennett is the spitting image of my brother. To say my mom is in love is an understatement. Zar took a liking to Grandma as well... their first interaction she went through 4 diapers changing him because every time he was on a clean one he would poop again!</div>

Bennett tried to be his independent self and cook a scone in the microwave. He got it out of its plastic baggie, put it on a plastic plate and put it in the microwave. Unfortunately scones don't need to be reheated for 5 minutes.... I was upstairs and Bennett came up to greet me by saying something I couldn't understand. As we were talking I smelt smoke and said, "Bennett, is the oven on?" He sheepishly said "yea....." and I went running down the stairs to see our microwave in flames. Needless to say a fire extinguisher's residue is toxic so we had to get a new microwave. Luckily everyone was save. No harm done.<br />

I was really honored to receive an award from BYU's Nursing program. I have worked with several student nurses throughout my three and a half years as a nurse. I remember the mentors who taught me and really impacted my practice as a nurse, and I remember those nurses who were annoyed and tired when they had students. I promised myself that I would always strive to be that exciting and fun nurse who gave my students a good experience and apparently it paid off. Two BYU students nominated me for the Outstanding Student Mentor award :)<br />

Miracles will be Miracles. When one door closes another opens. Lance was pretty sure (like very sure) that he would be able to make a smooth transition to becoming the head coach at Corner Canyon. We had built relationships with the players and their parents, we were comfortable and felt at home at the school and the job was truthfully his dream job at his dream location. We went through the interview process and at the end they gave the position to a more experienced coach from a different school district. We were devastated. Like the nights before we found out Lance slept on the couch because he couldn't sleep and after we found out we had several sessions of tears shed and sadness. He truthfully felt like his calling in life was taken from him and he had no purpose. I tried to be supportive and optimistic that something else would come, but it was really really hard.<br />
<br />
He met with the new coach a few different times and from our perspective we didn't think the new coach handled the situation well, and Lance was not offered an opportunity to stay on staff as an assistant. At that point Lance was even more devastated than when he had initially found out he didn't get the head position. He had no place, no opportunity to continue coaching at any level....<br />
<br />
We searched desperately for another assistant job. He needed, we needed to be apart of something basketball. A friend and former nurse co-worker of mine, Ashley Wilson's husband had just gotten a new head coaching job so I texted her asking if he had any openings. He didn't but it was that text that opened the door to a great opportunity. Things aligned the way they were supposed to. The next day she texted me saying Cottonwood High School was accepting applications for a new Head Basketball Coach. Lance and I was in disbelief. They had just hired a new coach back in March, and now in June they were hiring again?! He applied, we waited. He interviewed. He was offered and he accepted!<br />
<br />
Backstory: <br />
<b>March/April</b><br />
Ashley's Husband: Garrett was coach over Taylorsville HS.<br />
He got the Brighton HS job.<br />
<br />
The Cottonwood HS coach took over at Taylorsville HS.<br />
<br />
Cottonwood hired some new coach with another coach who was a close 2nd choice.<br />
<b>May</b><br />
Cottonwood HS's coach resigned and took a Junior College position, but took over a month to submit his official notice in writing (which postponed the principal and school districts ability to post the position).<br />
<b>June</b><br />
Position posts, Interviews happen. The principal interviews and believes that she is gonna probably hire the guy who originally came in 2nd during the March/April interviews.<br />
As she contemplates who to hire Lance's name comes to her mind. Then a flood of emails from former players, other coaches, and Corner Canyon parents (thank you) are received to the principal all in Lances' behalf.<br />
<br />
Position offer to Lance. He accepts!!!<br />
<br />
Literally, the timing of everything was absolutely divine intervention. We then spent the majority of June getting open gyms lined up, parent meetings, practices, and a week long tournament. Here are pictures from the parent meeting where Jillian and Bennett had a blast walking around Cottonwood HS's courtyard.<br />

I feel like every winter goes by so quickly because from the 2nd week in November until the first week in March we are in basketball mode (which is a good thing because I hate snow and I hate the cold). This was our first (and only) season coaching and being part of the Corner Canyon Charger family. How grateful I am for the opportunity that Lance had to coach and be part of such a wonderful program. The parent were so supportive and amazing, the players were so hard working, kind, and appreciative. All in all it was an amazing year. We truly felt welcomed with open arms. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Corner Canyon has an awesome gym with a track above which allowed me to keep my kids off the court during the games. I was also lucky enough to have a babysitter for a good portion of the season so I could be there to focus on the game and take a breather from mom duties. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This past season was so much fun. Lance's JV team went 19-3, and their losses added up to only 10 points from a perfect season. He had the boys running and gunning on defense and forced more turn overs than I've seen from any team. The varsity team also had a pretty good season and we had comfortably secured our spot at the state tournament. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The weekend before the state tournament Tony and a the senior parents put together an amazing bonding night for the boys. Pedicures were performed on all of the boys as well as coaches. I was hysterically laughing as the boys twitched and squirmed while their feet were touched (most of their own moms did their toes.. but some of the younger boys got a little ambitious and started to paint coaches toes). We enjoyed a great BBQ and surprised the boys with a poker tournament. Now if you thought boy pedicures were funny, just watch a bunch of white (mostly mormon) boys play poker. The dads even dressed up in their dealer shirts.</div>

At the end of the night Lance gave Tony this awesome collage of his years as a basketball coach encompassing all the schools he's been a part of. Now the collage has a ton more significance since Tony stepped down from coaching just a few months after this was given. <br />

We made it to the first round of the state tournament and played a very close game with Payson. Deja vu hit us at the buzzer as they put up a there pointer to beat us and continue to the next round. We. were. devastated. once again. </div>

Somehow I forgot to blog on Christmas and all that happened between Jillians Birthday (Dec 1st) and our cruise in March. Whoops. That's basketball season at its finest - completely time consuming and so much fun! </div>

This past winter we got a TON of snow. Literally. Tons.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I felt like every night Lance was home he got called out at 2-3 am to plow. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The crazy amount of snow was awesome for neighborhood kids to sled at our neighborhood hill (which is pretty epic if I do say so myself). So we lucked out on a good snow storm the week of Christmas and went as a family to enjoy the sun & snow.</div>

With such a large/extended family we have several Christmas events. We celebrated Christmas with Lance's mom a few days prior. It was so cute to see the excitement in Bennett and Hudson as they saw the HUGE mound of presents (almost all for them). <br />

On Christmas morning I somehow lucked out and got canceled from work WOOHOO!!!! We spent the morning with our kids opening a few gifts and then headed up north to Lance's Dads house. Of all the toys the kids got for Christmas this spinning/singing top took 1st place. All three of them were captivated by it.<br />

January we headed to Colorado for Chris and Lindsey's wedding. Bennett got his first professional haircut because he was going to be the ring bearer. <br />

Traveling with kids is... well rough. They did pretty well, but Jillian wasn't loving the idea of having to sit on my lap the entire time. Once we landed we drove 2 1/2 hours to the city where the reception was being held. Surprisingly there wasn't nearly as much snow in Colorado as we had in Salt Lake, but it was sure cold. Bennett got all dressed and seemed like he would do fabulous as the ring bearer. Chris had them wait another 5 minutes and in that 5 minutes Bennett got all figety and wouldn't wear his cute sign, and ended up walking down the aisle sobbing and yelling "MOMMY DADDY!!"<br />

I haven't done an update on these two in quite some time. Their sass and level of energy (and hatred for me being on the computer) has definitely impacted my blogging abilities. We have had a lot of adjustments/changes/emotions/new jobs/less jobs in the last few months. In April Tony, Corner Canyon's head basketball coach, decided to resign for health reasons. We were in shock. We quickly picked up the pieces of spring fling games, open gyms, and AAU to not let the boys down. We attempted to make the transition for them as smoothly as possible. Lance worked his tail off to do everything in his power to continue the program as Tony had left it in hopes of being named the new head coach. Through a series of events, some good and some bad Lance's last game with the Chargers was at the Spring Fling Championship game (which they won. Woot Woot!). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Suddenly without a basketball job at all we turned to some friends in hopes they would have positions open on their staff. This simple outreach to them was perhaps one of the biggest blessings amidst this trial. One of our friends happened to look on a district job site and saw a posting for Cottonwood HS head basketball coach. Lance applied, interviewed, and a few days later was offered the position. We were literally. in. shock. Finally his dreams had come true!! (he called me 7 times and sent 6 texts, and then had my neighbor come knock on my door to tell me to call him back, excited!). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are now in the process of building up the Cottonwood program in hopes to turn it back to its glory days and to become a focal point in the community. I dropped down to working as a nurse 1 day a week which is truthfully the dreamiest. One day for me to still use my skills and get out of the house, and 6 days to play with my kids. Lance started real estate with century 21 in March and has since found success with multiple listings and buyers in search of a place to call home. Road Runner is still rolling and we thank Austin for taking on the additional responsibilities so Lance can focus on other things. </div>

Jillian is a little spit fire of sass. She has a determined personality which gives me a run for my money most days (she's way too much like me). She loves doing things by herself, even though she isn't quite coordinated enough (eating with utensils, drinking out of regular cups, climbing stairs). She recently has become my hand holding buddy. Anywhere we go she wants to hold my finger which is quite endearing since Bennett has never enjoyed holding hands. She has a passion her bottle that we have yet to break. We've literally tried every kind of sippy/water bottle but the girl refuses to drink milk out of anything but her ba-ba (and it has to be warmed or she throws it at me). She loves to snuggle up with her blankets and her pillow and enjoy a nice warm bottle, but I don't mind. It keeps her my baby and lessens my desire to have another baby. ;-D As I mentioned she LOVES her blankets. Yes, multiple. She has two blankets she literally carries with her all over the house. Whenever she's upset she wants to snuggle on your lap and hold her blankets. She continues to take two naps a day, waking up from sleep around 8am and taking a nap from 10-12 and 1:45-4pm and going to bed at 9pm. This schedule has saved my sanity because I'm able to get some stuff done with both kids asleep in the afternoon. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She is still a girl full of babble, and not many real words. She says, Bottle, Blanket, Ball, Bennett, Bye-Bye (are you sensing a theme yet), Mommy, Yeah, occasionally Dad (but most of the time calls Dad, Mommy), Hold me, ut-oh, No.</div>

Oh my Bennett boy. 2 and a 1/2 is a lot of fun with you. Bennett says funny things every day and of course follows my example by asking, " I funny? Bennett funny!" (Lance makes fun of me all the time for asking if I'm funny). He is Mr. Independent, so much in so that he caught my microwave on fire (literal flames inside) by attempting to cook a scone himself. He always wants to "buckle myself, do myself, Bennett do." For the most part he's pretty good at everything he attempts to do himself. He is the best kitchen helper I know, and lately I've even got him doing chores such as putting the dishwasher soap in the slot, shoveling dog poop (by his choice), putting silverware away, sweeping, and of course is pretty handy with a spray bottle (cleaner). Bennett still LOVES moving the lawn. It's kind of a weird obsession of his. He brings out his mower or any toy he can push and does laps around the lawn while wearing Lance's hat backwards. He uses my mop (which looks like a weed whip) to edge the lawn and even pretends he has a blower, and pulls an imaginary string to start them all. He would make an excellent addition to Grandpa Elliott's lawn crew. Bennett loves shooting hoops and playing baseball. He's gotten pretty good at hitting the ball while being pitched and or off of a tee. On a weekly basis he asks me to go to the farm. He loves seeing the farm animals and mimicking their noises. <br />

<br />
What a dreamy vacation we had at the beginning of March. We were so blessed to be able to spend 9 days kid free traveling around Florida and the Caribbean thanks to Nicole for holding down the fort. Boy was it a crazy March. We started off March super excited for making it to the state playoffs as the number 2 seed. In Lance's coaching career we were always battling for the 4th and last spot, but we this year we had a solid team who secured things up tight that the last few games felt like they didn't even matter in regards to the state tournament. We knew we had a REAL shot of making it to the championship so we planned our cruise around the fact that we could potentially be playing a game the same day we were flying to Orlando. Unfortunately, deja vu smacked us in the face and we lost on a last second 3 point shot by 1 point. The rest of the week we kind of sat in disbelief limbo, but excited for our vacation.<br />

<br />
We did things a little differently in regards to booking our vacation. We booked our flights to Orlando (non-stop red eye) a few months in advance as well as our hotel and rental car. We stalked the cruise websites several times a day for literally 8 weeks until finally the Monday before we left, yes 6 days, we booked our cruise at the lowest rate we've seen, $399 per person.<br />
<br />
The Saturday we flew out we were busy doing a bunch of last minute things. Our ride came to pick us up at 8pm, but at 7:45 Bennett suddenly got sick and started throwing up, and it took us until 9pm to get both of our kids down to bed and just hoped and prayed Bennett would stop throwing up and wouldn't get the other kids sick. (unfortunately the sickness spread and Hudson threw up for the next few days). <br />
<br />
Leaving our kids was rough. Of course it would have been hard regardless, but leaving sick kids is the pits. We got to the airport and checked in. I with my sun hats and purse and Lance with nothing but his cell phone and wallet felt like we were forgetting everything. I guess that's what happens when you get so used to traveling with kids. We even arrived at the airport an hour later than we planned and we still had 40 minutes to sit around and watch some Harry Potter.<br />
<br />
The flight down to Orlando was not the easiest to sleep on which was atypical because I am usually one who falls asleep on a plane before we are even to our cruising altitude and don't wake up until we are on the ground. <br />
<br />
We arrived in Orlando at 5am and went to what looked like a slightly shady night club florescent lit rental car place. Truthfully we didn't know what we had booked and were both a little nervous. As we stood in line we watched the advertisement TV show "business class" luxury cars they had available to rent. Lance made a joke about how cool it would be to get a mustang or a convertible since we would only have the car from Orlando to Miami. I laughed and said, you'll probably pay another $100 to rent it. We got up to the desk and Lance asked if we could upgrade to a "cool car" and the guy upgraded us to an Audi A3 for no additional fee! Needless to say we are sold on SIXT rental car. <br />

<br />
We met up with the Greens and made our way to the ship. This was our 2nd Norwegian cruise and the ship was brand new and SO SO SO BIG and awesome. It had 5 water slides, two of which were called the free fall because they literally took the platform you are standing on from under your feet and you drop down SO fast (I screamed every time). <br />
<br />
We enjoyed a latin inspired dance show, Legally Blonde the musical, and several comedy shows while on board. We over indulged on ice cream and chocolate crepes, and of course ate like 4-5 big meals a day (the beauty of a cruise). The seas (according to our captain) were rough for the entire week we cruised. We weren't able to get off in the Bahamas because it wasn't safe for the tender boats to take us out (which I was slightly bummed because that was my favorite port last time, but we had a fun time on our extra ship day). <br />
<br />
When we got to Jamaica we scouted out the Blue Hole. OMG was this place amazing. The main taxis were trying to charge $30 a person and said it would take 45 minutes to drive there, but we managed to talk a taxi driver down to $15 a person and paid only $10 a person entry fee into the Blue Hole. We've been to Dunns Falls which is pretty, but definitely over crowded with people. The Blue Hole was similar in that its a waterfall, but there are also several pots of water that we jumped into and swung into like Tarzan. We had a guide who helped show us where to step and go which was extremely helpful. By far this place was our favorite "excursion" we've done, and it was the cheapest.<br />
<br />
Grand Cayman we planned an excursion, but found out last minute that it got cancelled due to wind and cloudy water making it not ideal conditions to swim with the sting rays. Instead we ventured to seven mile beach and boy was it beautiful. I haven't felt sand that soft or seen water that blue in my life. It was seriously dreamy to lay out and soak up the beauty. The sun was a little hot and it was kinda busy with people, but beautiful none the less. <br />
<br />
Cozumel was also a beach day for us, but we didn't arrive in port until 11am so a lot of the beach chairs became unavailable due to the other ships cruisers snagging them all up early. We did however enjoy some delicious authentic steak and shrimp tacos that were to die for :-D<br />
<br />
We arrived back in Miami the following Sunday and drove the distance to Orlando to go to Universal Studios (more specifically, Harry Potter World!). I was truthfully like a kid in a candy store, it was so amazing how life like they made Harry Potter World. It was just a cool atmosphere to be a part of. We hopped around the park riding rides, drinking butterbeer, and enjoying some window shopping. Of course we kept saying, Bennett would love ____. It's funny how much of your life becomes consumed with what your kids would love. <br />
<br />
Overall we had a pretty seamless and amazing trip. We love our cruise buddies. We all just made the best of our missed port and enjoyed all that our trip had to offer. I'm excited for what cruises and trips the future will bring and am so grateful to have gone and actually had time to spend with the Hubs.<br />

Clearly this is super late, but better late than never. We celebrated Bennett big 2 year with a family swim day at the rec center. This was Lance's first trip coming with us and I would like to say it was pretty successful. Bennett and Jill both had a blast jumping and splashing away. Bennett even has the courage to go down the "big" kid slide by himself several times. <br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The following weekend we had a big party with our friends and family. We ate delicious puppy themed foods and enjoyed one another company. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<br /></div>

Bennett is two going on 12. He loves playing any sport with a ball- golf, baseball, basketball, football. He is always an eager helper. Anytime I'm doing anything in the kitchen Bennett is within arms reach to "me help me help." He is a whopping 3 ft tall and 30lbs fitting in 2t clothes and size 8-9 shoes (clearly he is going to be tall). He has loved having our fall display on the porch. Every time he's out there he picks up a pumpkin and brings it to us. Bennett has most definitely hit the "twos" in that everything revolves around him, but that is as to be expected. He has had a few "adventures" which have ended as well as they possibly could of including running into the road (like way down another street) after letting Ellie out the front door, climbing on the roof of our house as Lance was putting up Christmas lights (yes.. like 14 ft in the air), ect. <br />

She most definitely has been a fun addition to our family. Over the past few months she's become quite the expert at scooting along "walking" while holding onto things, especially her lion toy that helps her walk. I'm sure any day now she will venture to take her first few steps. She has the cutest babble talk and of course her high pitches scream which we are still working on getting rid of. Jill has a LOVE for all things soft. Stuffed animals, blankets, and of course our furry couch pillow. She loves to dive head first and nestle herself right in. Transitioning from formula to bottle went super smooth. We gave her half and half for a few bottles then solid milk and it didn't even phase her a bit. She is however extremely particular about the temperature, only warm, never cold. We had her on straight milk for a few days in a row at 11 1/2 months and we went in for her VCUG (the kidney reflux test) and discovered her entire large and half of her small intestine was full of poop... with her not drinking a lot of water (she tends to spit out half of it and make a mess) the straight milk was constipating her so we have done a combination of milk and formula depending on how her bowels are doing to make sure she is on tract and feeling A okay. On the topic of her VCUG- Jill has grade III hydronephrosis or kidney reflux where fluid is going backward from her bladder into her kidneys. 70% of kids with her moderate severity will out grow it by the time they are 5 (which is awesome), if she doesn't out grow it she will need surgery. From now until then she has a daily antibiotic to keep her kidneys free from infection and will have a repeat X-ray yearly. She's happy and it doesn't seem to bother her other than the one UTI she got around 7 months. The daily antibiotic should prevent her from getting any more UTI's. <br />
<br />
<br />
For Jill's birthday we did the tradition Korean party full of a family dinner, Jill picking her fortune, and of course her adorable hand stitched Korean dress. I absolutely love this tradition and I'm so glad my mom has been able to come to both Bennett and Jillian's first birthday to show us how its done. Something I sure hope my kids will pass down to their kids and so forth. <br />

A few days after her birthday we had a second celebration with some friends and more family. Jill did a rather impressive job smashing and flinging her cake everywhere. Winston and Ellie were going hog wild over the cake on the floor and walls. Bennett however was extremely concerned that Jill was so messy and even attempted to clean her face. (what an OCD good brother.. he must get it from me). Jill's birthday celebration was just perfect.<br />

In the last month Jill has finally figured out how to crawl and boy is it cute to see her army crawl across the room attacking whatever she has her mind set on. She even took a tumble down our basement stairs because the door was left open and we underestimated her ability to crawl... so quickly. eek. Luckily she only ended up with a bruise on her cheek. No broken bones or gushing blood thank heavens. She has also started to enjoy pretty much any food I stick in front of her. She will attempt to eat it. Oh how independent she is in comparison to Bennett when it comes to eating. Bennett would let me hand feed him anything. Jill has to put it in her mouth by herself. She will turn away if I attempt which has made feeding her baby food on a spoon nearly impossible. Thus I have resorted to her holding a squeezy pouch of baby food. <br />
<br />
Oh boy is the girl stubborn (I wonder where she gets it from... --> me). She went through a phase of two weeks where she fought us every single time we tried to give her a bottle and she refused the bottle. We tried putting the formula in a sippy cup, changing bottles, making new bottles, etc and to no avail she continued to refuse. The last day she literally didn't eat more than an ounce from 7am to 3pm due to her stubbornness. It was a rough few days because she was so fussy and tired but refused to sleep because she was hungry and yet would not eat a thing. (and she wasn't sick or teething either). Then like magic the very next day she went diving for a bottle and ate all 6 oz like a champ and hasn't looked back. The last week she's been downing bottles like its her job, and boy is she good at it.<br />
<br />
We have also managed to get our kids on a semi-same schedule yahoo!!! <br />
<br />
7:30 Jill wakes up, eats bottle, plays<br />
8:00 Bennett wakes up, plays<br />
9:00 Jills #1 nap & Bennett has breakfast.<br />
11:00 Jill wakes up, eats lunch<br />
12:00 Bottle and Lunch for Bennett<br />
12:30-1pm Both down for a nap YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!<br />
3:00 Jill wakes up, bottle<br />
4:00 Bennett wakes up, errands and dinner making<br />
5:30 Dinner for the family<br />
Sometimes Jill will take a cat nap<br />
7:00 Baths and movie time<br />
9:00 Bedtime for both.<br />
<br />
I look at this two and am shocked I still have two kids under two, but not for long! Bennett continues to be so much fun to hang out with. He takes adventures all over our house and usually ends up in the garage "playing." Yesterday I walked into the garage to find him sitting quietly and alone in his stroller. He continues to love bath time & shower time. He will stay in the shower alone for eternity. Its quite hilarious to watch a toddler shower alone. In fact, some days the only way I can get him out of the tub without screaming is to ask if he wants to go on a walk in the stroller. His immediate response is yes, and starts climbing on out. I could see how having a newborn at this point would be a challenge for his/her safety because if we are getting ready to go somewhere Bennett always tries to "bring Jill along" by picking her up. Luckily her 20 pounds stops him and she stays put until I am able to get her. <br />
<br />
He is pretty much mimicking everything we say and even forming 3 word sentences. My favorite is when I am getting something from the top shelf of the kitchen Bennett says, "Mommy, get down. Get down."<br />
While playing basketball he loves to yell, "OOOOHHHH Nice!"<br />
And of course poopy diaper changes are always followed with a wrinkle nose and "ew. gwoss poopy"<br />
He still is refusing to go potty in the toilet even though he tells us immediately after he's gone poopy. Some days I get ambitious and think I will potty train him.. and all fails within the first hour.<br />
He has an obsession with movies. Every hour of every day, unless distracted, wants to watch a movie. I try to mix it up but this summers flicks have included 101 dalmatians, Ratatouille, Finding Nemo, and Big Hero 6.<br />

A day in my life is definitely busy busy busy with these two but truthfully I wouldn't have them any other way. With them being 13 months apart they have a built in best friend and its coming to fruition more and more each day as they interact with each other. Bennett is always giving Jill her teddy and sharing with her. He is so sweet and giving that he hardly gets into tisks with other kids over toys. They laugh together often as they play with their ikea tunnel and enjoy watching movies together.<br />

I'm sure ya'll have come to know that I always have at least 4+ projects occurring at the same time with 20+ in my mind and on my list when the money presents itself. Jumping from project to project keeps me busy (as if my kids aren't busy enough), but I enjoy the sense of accomplishment and the beauty in finishing these projects. <br />
<br />
We finished our basement months ago, however there still was about 10% of the trim that needs to be completed before we can officially say its "finished." We however lost our mojo motivation as well as Will's finishing nail gun and our air compressor. Once we got our tools back I was motivated, but yet dreading the idea of having to repaint all the baseboards that have a layer of dust and gunk on them from sitting in our garage for the last 8 months. <br />
<br />
A few weeks ago we submitted for our home to be appraised to drop our mortgage insurance and sure enough last week the appraiser called and wanted to schedule our time for the following day!!! I was in a panic. I knew we needed to get the appraisal done asap, but there was NO WAY I was going to have the time to finish all that needed to get done. We instead scheduled it to give ourselves 4 days to get it done (and by 4 days I really mean 1.5 days because I worked two of the days and the guy was coming at 1pm). Wednesday was a busy day. Lance was out working for pretty much the entire day so I juggled both kids and their needs with cutting and installing trim. By the end of the night I was able to get all the trim, caulk, and paint done (with the exception of the stair trim and three door trims because we were out of materials). Exhausted and aching I went to bed and arose at 6:30 am Thursday morning to get the cleaning party started. I wanted my house to look perfect with everything in its rightful place because I knew he'd be taking pictures of every room. <br />
<br />
I literally cleaning, scraped, and scrubbed until 12:59pm. Dropped to the ground with exhaustion the second the appraiser left and laid down for a 10 minute nap before Jillian was awake. <br />
<br />
How refreshing it is to see my entire home clean... all 3000 sq ft of it. I couldn't be prouder.... and yet the improvement projects will continue!! haha!<br />
<br />
Now heres to hoping the appraisal comes back high enough! [fingers crossed]<br />

<br />
Jillian got her first two teeth at 7 1/2 months. It was a rough three days with waking every three hours at night and having to be forced fed a bottle because her teeth hurt so badly.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Jill was late to start baby food. We kept introduction it to her but she would immediately spit it out. It wasn't until this past week. Now she's eating stage two fruit and vegetable mixes, watermelon, grapes, carrots, and bread. I attempted the baby chicken and gravy mix and she didn't love that. She prefers to finger feeding herself rather than having any help. She even started holding her own bottle three days ago. How liberating it is for both of us! I love her independence. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For the past two weeks she's been on the verge of crawling. She gets on all fours with arms extended, but just can't quite move forward so she ends up rolling to get what she wants. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Jill has also started to talk some and sometimes when both kids are in their cribs lance and I can't tell who is talking and awake. Ma and ba are all I can make out at this point. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
She still screams when she's happy. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sleeps typically from 9:30-7:30 on most nights. We've attempted to put her to bed before 9 when she's tired but she just screams and stays awake until 9/9:30/10 then is out for the count.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Takes two to three good naps a day. If we stay home her first nap usually lasts almost three hours. It's great but at the same time a little challenging because by the time she wakes Bennett is usually on the verge of needing a nap. He's down to one nap a day so that makes running errands a little more challenging. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Still can fit into 6 month onesies but they are getting a little tight. She wears 6-9 month pants. She has moved onto 9-12 month pajamas with 12 month fitting her height but loose everywhere else. She's a pretty dense baby. You don't anticipate she's gonna be as heavy as she is when you go to pick her up. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Typical schedule. </div>
<div>
7:30 wake play </div>
<div>
8:30 eat </div>
<div>
9:30 nap </div>
<div>
12 wake bottle </div>
<div>
1:30 eat lunch </div>
<div>
3:00 nap</div>
<div>
5:00 wake bottle</div>
<div>
6:30 maybe a nap</div>
<div>
7 dinner </div>
<div>
8:30 night bottle </div>
<div>
9:15-30 bedtime </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Jillian Weight: 19.2 lbs Height: 27" foot size 3.5" size 3 still falling off her feet. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Bennett weight: 31lbs Height: 35" foot size 5.5" wearing size 7-8</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Bennett at 6 months: </div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<b style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">20 lbs 12 oz. </b><b style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">29 3/4 inches funny to see how Jillian now at 8 months is smaller than chubby Bennett was at 6 months. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<b style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></b></div>
<div>
Bennett is down to one nap a day which usually begins at 12:30. He sleeps for a minimum of two hours but sometimes lasts for 3 1/2. those days are he BEST! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
All summer long he has been insistent on staying up late. We've tried to get him back on his schedule but he just screams and cries and never falls asleep. I assume when we "fall back" he will adjust back to an 8 o'clock bedtime. For now we just party it up. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
He's began to tug at his diaper when it's dirty so maybe he's getting ready for potty training? </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
He is obsessed with watching movies. This month ratetoulli and 101 Dalmatians are his fix. He also enjoys Curious George. He usually grabs the remote and yells "puppies" over and over until we turn it on. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
He also loves playing in the garage. And has thrown many a fits if we try to get him inside or outside and shut the garage doors. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Oh how the tantrums have started. Yesterday Bennett cried inconsolably for 20 minutes straight because we didn't turn on his movie. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
He loves stroller walks. And going "bye bye". He knows if we are going out Jill has to come with us so he will run over to her and try to pick her up. Thank heavens she's too heavy at this point or she would be getting lots of bonks. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
He has come to absolutely hate being strapped into his car seat. He has always fought us as we strap him in but the last four days the entire car ride he's screamed and fussed at us. Still trying to find a solution for that. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Overall he's a fun and energetic kid. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I've been doing "airplane" with him periodically over the last month or so. The other night I came home from work and was sitting at the table eating dinner. Bennett jumps up. Runs into the living room and points at the ground saying "mom" over and over. Lance and I had no clue what he wanted to eventually I walked over to him and he had me sit down then walked around to my feet and picked them up to his belly. It's so fun to see how his little mind works. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Lance has been practicing with Bennett on his little basketball hoop. Bennett now adjusts himself so he's shooting farther away and he makes most of his shots. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<br />
She is a ROLLER! She moves all the way across rooms and is never just laying still. She does play really well by herself which is a life saver for when I'm chasing Bennett around.<br />

<br />
I love that she is still a great napper. Some of her naps get cut short because Bennett is determined to leave the house at least once a day and Jillian doesn't do the best at sleeping while we are out and about.<br />
<br />
Many told me that your 2nd baby grows up so much faster than your first. She is constantly hitting milestones that I am shocked are happening. I remind myself that she is already 7 months! <br />
<br />
Bennett is more and more adventurous and fun as he gets older. We've taken adventures to the "beach," playground, children's museum, & farm. He loves going anywhere even if its just to Walmart or Costco. He's my little shopping companion. He is also the biggest "help" with out many home projects. He loves feeding the puppies and actually scoops the food and carries the bowls to the dogs. His vocabulary is exploding as he mimics everything we say. <br />
<br />
Just last night he was cuddling on the couch with me and I said "hey" and he responded with "no no no" (thinking I was going to ask him if it was night-night time) and I laughed and said, "are you rubbing your eyes?" "no no no" (which he clearly was). Every time I ask him if he is tired he always says no because what kid wants to go to bed? Not mine.<br />
<br />
Truthfully Bennett hasn't been able to say 'no' until this past week. He has been shaking his head no for the last few weeks, but the word wasn't added to his vocabulary until recently. <br />
He loves saying "yeah" even though I want him to say "yes" so badly. <br />
<br />
He loves the previews on the Disney blu-rays. He even does a little jig and sings to the song. He no longer wants to actually watch the movie but just the preview on repeat.<br />
<br />
He is constantly filling up cups (water, gravel, dirt, food) and dumping them out. Which usually has me mad because he makes a mess, but I should just be happy he is working on his motor skills and spacial awareness.<br />
<br />
If we are lucky we can still get him to take 2 naps, but some days the nap falls from 11-1:30 and there's no second nap.<br />
<br />
Since we returned from Vegas Bennett refuses to go to bed any earlier than 9pm. <br />
<br />
Everyday Bennett does something that just makes me smile from ear to ear. When Lance gets home I am so excited to tell him all the funny things Bennett has done/said. <br />
<br />
Having the two of them so close together really made my mind spin the first few months- possibly just due to lack of sleep. Now it is seriously so much fun and I wouldn't have it any other way. Jillian is such a chill 2nd child and Bennett enjoys trying to play peek-a-boo with her and scream with excitement back at her when shes is one of her screaming moods. I know as soon as she is walking they will be attached at the hip, always playing. I have truly been so blessed to have these two kiddos in my life. I thank my Heavenly Father for gifting our lives with them and for knowing just what Lance and I are capable of handling! My little Irish twins. <!--3-->Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07816142091669597171noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964131212477048744.post-57122208748448648292015-07-07T12:55:00.004-07:002015-07-07T12:55:47.519-07:00June Rewind<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; text-align: center;">

Bennett has become our “little helper.” We’ve been working on placing pavers along the back of our house to hold our garbage cans, chairs, and BBQ and Bennett loves being out there “helping” He grabs the tape measurer and “measures” the level and “levels” and uses the garden shovel to “even” things out for us. He is also obsessed with the mower and all things “lawn maintenance” I guess he really is following in his father’s and grandfather’s footsteps. </div>

We have had a bird invasion into our dryer vent the last two spring seasons. Lance finally got this "bird repellent" paste and they haven't invaded since.<br />

The end of may we ventured to Colorado for a family trip. The week before we left Bennett had an ear infection and some other thing where he literally wouldn’t eat for 3 days straight. The day he started getting better I all of a sudden came down with a 102 fever, convulsing shakes, and uncontrollable feeling of being freezing. It was Saturday of Memorial day weekend and I was scheduled to work so I knew I would have to go to instacare and get checked out to opt out of work. I had an ear infection and strep throat. Awesome. Monday night Jillian came down with a 102 fever and I knew the wealth had spread to her and was 99% confident she also had an ear infection. With our flight taking off at 11am Tuesday I knew I would need to get her into a doctor to verify the infection and hope antibiotics and pain medicine would keep her sane. So off we colorado we went with an ear infected 6 month old and Bennett still a little residually fussy. Lets just say the first 3 nights/days were rough. Jillian woke up screaming every hour. Bennett couldn’t sleep with us 2 feet away. Hudson kept waking up because Bennett was awake. The house was full of people and I just felt awful for my children’s awryness. </div>

The house was literally in the woods. An almost 2 hour drive to Denver and 1 hour to Colorado Springs. We spent a lot of time in the mini-vans and just staying at the cabin. We had a lovely secluded spa/BBQ/patio that was completely fenced. We roasted s'mores, played bananagrams, and enjoyed 2 solid games of mini golf. </div>

Watching Bennett and Hudson interact only gets more fun as they age. At one point Hudson decided to throw a huge fit because he couldn't hold two gold balls, so Bennett tried to pick him up off the ground/hug him during his rage. <br />

The actual graduation was really cool. I can honestly say it was the coolest graduation I have ever been to. The cadets marched out in rows and to their assigned seats. It was efficient and magical at the same time. Once we all arrived at the graduation they locked the gates. The thousands of family and supporters weren't allowed to exit until the end of the graduation. Luckily they had shaved ice stands, and food trucks to occupy us as they read off all 800 or so graduates. <br />

At the end of the graduation they did a thunderbird fly over. We all thought it was awesome! They flew so low and did some awesome synchronized tricks. Jillian with the ear infection and exhaustion didn't quite think it was awesome so Lance had to take her into the mens room to muffle the loud noise from the planes. Bennett and Hudson only made it through half the show before passing out.<br />

Lance and I traveled up to meet a family who was actually from Wisconsin and Lance knew pretty well from his mission. It was great getting to catch up on old times and meeting her children who Lance hasn't seen in 9 years!<br />

Friday, the day after after graduation was "Chris's celebration day." We went to play mini golf, batting cages, and enjoyed delicious cream cheese wontons and sesame chicken at a local joint. I was even able to successfully hit some soft balls!<br />

Love them the same & take just as many pictures of your 2nd child as you did of your first. Well none of that is true. I treat Bennett like he's by toddler boy, and Jillian like shes a dainty girl. I love Bennett so much because he has been apart of my life for 18 months. It took a few months for me to learn to love Jillian as I loved Bennett because lets face it. Newborns don't really give much back in terms of hugs, saying mommy, and smiles. And well we all know by the time the 2nd child comes the first is running rampant that its a little more challenging to enjoy the small and simple moments with baby #2 thus less pictures are taken.<br />
<br />
I love both my kids. This is true.<br />
<br />
Here is us celebrating Jillian's 5th month of life with her first trip to the pool & a photoshoot.<br />

The majority of my days are busy. I work 12 hour shifts three days a week and it feels like those other 4 days are spent grocery shopping, running errands, cleaning the house, and surviving being a mother of my almost Irish twins. Very seldomly do I stop to just smell the roses and enjoy my little pumpkins. Today, however, I made the choice to stop and just appreciate my two sweet cherubs in their “golden stages.” (In between laundry and cleaning my house ;) )</div>

Jillian has recently learned she has a voice and insists on squealing at a very high pitch. She can roll from back to tummy as well as tummy to back and enjoys her death grip on anything and everything she comes into contact with. She wakes up from naps with a smile on her face and downs bottles like its no ones business. </div>

Bennett is back to his jibber jabbering self and spent all day “talking” to me while I only understood about 8%. He is his daddy’s son. Each time he went out back to “play” he wound up in the “paver construction area” or playing with the lawn mower instead of his toys. He loves ketchup which is evident by his red beard/mustache. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
::Jillian::</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
coos up a storm</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
smiles like crazy</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we've gotten a few giggles, but mostly silent laughs</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
drinks 4-6 oz bottles x5 a day</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
an amazing sleeper/napper</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(we swaddle and lay her straight down in a dark room. within a few minutes she's asleep without any rocking, binkie, or bottle)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
only likes being held facing out</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
likes to fall asleep vertically </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
enjoys her play mat and vibrating bouncer</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
still squeezing into size 1 diapers</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
transitioning to 3-6 month clothes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
hates her binkie</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
is very particular about the temperature of her water- not hot, not room temperature... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
still has blue eyes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
still keeps her fists clenched tight</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
can propel her body so she turns 90 degrees or scoots over a foot or two from where I left her</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
typical schedule: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
7:30 wake. 4-6 oz bottle. play</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
::Bennett::</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
has become quite the talker adding new words to his vocab weekly</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"owwie" - sorry</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"wee wee" - Winston</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"eyyie" - Ellie</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"ohhh" - uh-oh</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we have finally gotten him to enjoy a movie that isn't princesses and singing! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
aka Monsters University</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
mimics everything we do: sweeping, shoveling, putting clothes in the washer, shutting doors behind us.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
loves playing at the park and going down the big slides by himself... on his belly of course</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
started to step up steps holding onto a railing instead of crawling (at the park only. he hasn't tried it at home yet)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
loves playing outside in the yard and could seriously run out there for hours</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
still takes two naps (thank heavens), however if we don't get him down for his first nap by 10:20 the two naps turn into one nap and a cranky Mr. Bennett in the evening</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
bedtime is between 7:30-8:15pm depending on naps and how crazy he is being</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lance & I finally think we've gotten the hang of these two little crazies. Jillian is at a stage where she naps well and sleeps through the night and Bennett is starting to understand what we are telling him a little bit more. I kind of wish I could freeze time and the terrible twos and teething/crawling/less napping won't start. I'm sure these two will give us a run for our money when they are both mobile but for now we are enjoying the peace and sanity that comes with a 4 & a 17 month old. <3 p=""><!--3--></3></div>
