A Little White Trash

The other day Captain Questions (Porter) was driving me crazy and asking question after question, I needed to distract him so I asked him if he wanted a tattoo. He wanted two and then Bella came and saw the fun of mom drawing on her brother with permanent marker (whoops) and wanted two tattoos as well. Just so you know she was bathed and had her hair done that morning but I took the picture in the afternoon.

Drama, Drama

I went in yesterday to get my second round of lithotripsy(blasting my kidney stones) and when I started to come out of anesthesia I started having a seizure. I seizured for about an hour and a half until they finally got me to come out of it. I remember about the last 5 minutes of it and being put into the ambulance. They took me over to UVRMC and I was admitted so I could start having a bunch of test done. Once they got me settled into my sweet room Johnny went home so he could get the kids. I had an EEG (I have no idea what that stands for) and a MRI. Both came back completely normal. So they have decided that I have developed an allergy to all medicine. I'm not allowed to take any over the counter medicine except tylenol and deffinetally no prescription medicine. I also can't have any soda and I need to avoid foods with aspartame. She told me if I'm in pain from passing my kidney stones and I really feel like I need to take something I have to do it with somebody around so they can help me if I start seizing. Exciting stuff, I see the neurologist on Monday and then the urologist in a couple of weeks. The good news is I don't have epilepsy and I don't have to be on any antiseizure medicine. So anyway that has been my exciting last couple of days, I'll keep you all posted if I find out anymore.

The Birds and the Bees

We were driving home tonight from a party with all of our kids and Ethan was asking all sorts of questions about babies and twins. Can you see where this is going?? My sister Kallee has twins and Ethan said I hope she has more twins and I was telling him that Kallee gets really sick when she is pregnant so she probably won't be having any more kids. Then he continued to ask how she had twins so I explained that she has eggs in her body and her body dropped down two eggs and that is how they got there. Then Ethan said I hope you and daddy get married again so you can have more kids and I said you don't have babies from getting married and he asked, well then how do you make babies? So I gave a very textbook answer and explained that daddy has sperm and mom has eggs and when daddies sperm fertilizes my egg it makes a baby. Then Ethan remembered that when you're pregnant you get really sick and he asked, daddy will you please stop giving mommy your sperm so she won't get pregnant? Johnny just replied, I'll try.

Bella's Birthday

Bella turned 4 years old today!! She had a party today and the kids got to limbo (not a good idea when some of the kids are only two, we had a little girl just walk into the stick) a pinata, pin the horn on the unicorn and then our neighbor let us use their water slide. Bella loved it and she got quite the haul so she couldn't be happier!

5 Months Old


Tess is 5 months old today! I can't believe how fast it goes. She can roll over from her belly but is still trying to roll from her back. She is still my happiest baby, I love it!

Wah Wah

I went to the urologist today and the good news is that they were able to completely get all the stones on my right side. The bad news is there is another stone in the left side that is 8mm. I have to get lithotripsy done again in a couple of weeks. I was so mad at the office I just kept giggling. The reception laughed and said well at least you're not crying.

So I Might Be 13...

I am such a teenager nerd. I just finished "Breaking Dawn". I have had to neglect my husband and kids but it was well worth it. I haven't fed anybody all day, Johnny finally broke down and made himself some ramen noodles and gave the kids cereal. I've been so excited for the book to comeout and have been so nervous that book would be sold out by the time I got over to the store to purchase one. My neighbor came home from Costco yesterday and told me they had a bunch. I was feeding Joshua and Bella lunch and made them put it into baggies so we could hurry and get to the store and felt so anxious as I was running into Costco frantically searching the store to hurry and get my copy. So I felt a little stupid when I saw how many copies they had sitting there. So if any of you fellow nerds want to go out and talk about the book I'd be the first one in line to go!!
