I'm still here....

O.k. so I started this post awhile ago and never finished. What a crazy, busy life!!!!!

So this is Alyssa and Loren's room. It was painted while I was away at women's retreat. We haven't hung anything up yet but I will post pictures after we do.

So how is life going?
Obviously busier or I would have written before now.

Let's just do a quick report.
Emma - weight today is 11 lb. 5 oz. She sure is a slow gainer but we'll take it. In the past two weeks she has taken off. She is now sitting up without help. She is rolling clear across the floor. She is talking a lot more. We meet with the speech and physical therapists this Thursday. She will be seeing all her doctors this month and next. She will be having a Cat Scan done on her brain/head June 1st. She will see the endocrinologist and urologist this month. She will have her year check up also. So I will be able to update you on everything at some point within the month. She is even smiling bigger now and I LOVE it!!!!!

Me - My kidneys....I'm in the process of switching urologists. It's like pulling teeth. I have two cysts. One is .8 cm. and one is 6.8 cm. One on each kidney. Along with kidney stones and calcification. I'm meeting with him to talk about our plan. If they are growing, how long do we wait before surgery. What should I be looking for, etc.

Olivia - doing great! Crawling like a race car. She is standing up on everything. She'll be walking before I want her to - let's just put it that way. She doesn't have a volume control - I wish she did. She is the equivalent to an alarm clock in the morning. When she goes off, everyone is up. Thank you Livy!!!

Alyssa - Graduates from preschool May 19th. Yea!!! I'm so ready from the break of taking all 4 kids 3 days a week to preschool and picking them up too. Thank you summer! But she has had a great year and we will really miss everyone!

Loren - had her 2 year check up today. She is 28 pounds and doing well. There are some things I need to work on. Mostly with her speech - getting her to talk more. It's been hard since her older sister tends to do all the talking. I know...hard to imagine.

So today at Loren's appointment, I asked for a schedule of this month's immunizations for the health department (since insurance doesn't cover any shots). Yep, the only date they are in Washington is TODAY!!! So I'm taking all FOUR to get their shots. Thankfully my babysitter can go with me to help. This is one I don't think I can do by myself. Alyssa has been telling for a year and a half that she doesn't want to go to Kindergarten because she has to get shots first. So this should be fun!!!! : )

Well, I'm off to talk Alyssa to preschool. Oh yea, and I just found out that we live to close to the school next year for a school bus that I have to load all FOUR of my kiddos up to take Alyssa to Kindergarten FIVE days a week. Lovely!!!!!
At least I won't be carrying oxygen, pulsox, apnea machines, etc.
