Three years ago..... (11/22/05)

 

 

 

 

 


Three years ago I was in labor today. I have not experienced it since then. It is a bit bitter sweet. When I think of my "last baby" and realize he is getting so big I notice tears welling up. My period is on it's way and I am feeling a bit crampy...ironic isn't it.

I have been so busy this week I forgot I wanted to post pictures of Bry like I did for Journey. Oh well.

Lindsey was my longest pregnancy (41wks). My other girls were all planned inductions, 38wks, 37 and 36 wks. Bryan was different. I was in a different state and with a different practice. So the last little bit was WAY different. I remember going to the doctor that last day (39wk appointment I think). I don't remember what his due date was....funny how I remember how OVER due I was with Lindsey. I know KAtie's EDD, because it was Christmas. After thinking on this I think he was due on the 28th, two days after Dejah's.

I had been feeling HORRIBLE that day. I had been having contractions on and off for the last two months or so. I guess I should have known the difference. I hadn't ever gone into labor myself like this. I was in early labor with Journey but had no idea. They still put me on pit for her I think. I was almost a 4 when I went in that day. He saw I was miserable and said "I can go ahead and start you if you want". Boy did I. He said "you'll be in the hospital by tonight anyway, might as well get you there faster". He called the hospital and they were FULL! UGH!!!!!! I was too much of a wimp to wait it out. He said he would check again later. They had room late that night. I guess (how am Is upposed to know, really) I would have gone in about 5 am on my own had I waited.

I made it to the hospital about 9 I think. My how the details have faded! They broke my water and away I went! When he was born he would not scream. I was freaking out a bit. You can imagine. The Doctor was reassuring me he was breathing just fine. He just wasn't interested in screaming. I'm sure his apgar scores was pretty low...he was BLUE as you can see. He pinked up quickly and has been perfect since!

Happy Birthday (tomorrow) Bryan. He told me today he was going to be FOUR. HeHe!

Facial cellulitis

Leave it to me to get the weird things! This is the second time in a mont that I have been "blessed" with this strange ailment! The last day of antibiotics (shot) last time was March 18th. I had started with Augmentin and that didn't work. They gave me a good shot of rochepin (a peanut butter shot) and that seemed to make a big difference quickly. I went back and got another, after the second I noticed remarkable improvement. I was SO excited! Then on Monday it started foming back. So it lasted two weeks. The next week we just did Rocephin shots. OUCH! I went round and round with the insurance company about an IV versus shots. The doctor recommended the IV because it would be less pain. I opted for the shot when I realized that the ER visit for 5 days would be about $400-500 a day. OUCH. So I got 5 rocephin shots that week. It was so much better by that Friday (18). YEAH! Fast forward to this past week. I was having similar pain and wrote it off as a sin...

Teacher Appreciation

Originally I had planned on do a different door completely! I was going to copy a door I found on a website Sugardoodle.net had posted on Facebook. I even got Home Depot to donate the things I needed. Last week I thought I should do a Hawaiian theme since this teacher went to school there and met his wife at BYU Hawaii and he will use "Mahalo" (thank you in Hawaiian) in class. I put it off, I had everything. Well, this morning I decided to change it to the Hawaiian theme. I had it all worked out in my head. I knew what I wanted. It didn't turn out the way I wanted exactly but I think it worked well. Mahalo Nui Loa, Thank you very much. I told LeMira, the parent council president that I was not very creative. She bawks at that idea now. I may have gotten myself in trouble. LeMira, made the pail and shovel and the banner. Journey made the sand castle. Lots of encouragement and it was done and hung. Not bad for a "last minute" idea.

Brazil

Just over three weeks ago, I recieved a phone call as I was getting out of the car to pick up pizza. It was a interesting conversation.... Scott: Uh, Hon, they want me to go to Brazil. Me: REALLY!!!??? WOW! Scott: ya, the catch is it is for TWO WEEKS. Me: I WANNA GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Scott: you don't even have a passport. Scott served his mission in Sao Paulo South and came home 21yrs ago! He has forgotten a lot of his Portuguese. His company wants him to go set up a firm down there with their products. Scott is a no brainer chioce...been there done that type thing. I have asked him many times he wanted to go back. He was never very excited about it. When the phone call came and his voice was exuberant, I KNEW he HAD to go. Two weeks alone with the kids or not, he NEEDED to go. I thought I would solve the no passport issue fast and said "you can be there for work, then I'll meet up with you!". Sounded perfect! It would take me two weeks minimum to get my pa...
