FYI: If any of you out there have MACs you should know that you can buy an external hard drive and via the time machine feature it will back up all of your data hourly for you. Too bad I didn't know that before.
OH YEAH! and while I am on here I should add that we had an ultrasound last week and we are having a BOY!
Other news:
Lots of Dr visits. I never new the purpose of my last miscarriage but I figured that God had a plan in it all. I said before that I was having strong impressions to try again but I was reluctant. I now feel that perhaps the Lord needed me to lose the last one so that they could find out my condition and prevent me from losing further pregnancies and to get this one here when he need to be here. We did find a medical concern with my blood. The doctors say that it is a miracle that I ever had two full term healthy, live babies and without comlications to myself. For that I am extremely grateful. I am so grateful to have had two pregnancies of ignorant bliss and joyful anticipation. Unfortunately from here on out pregnancy is tainted for me. Every visit is filled with anxiety as I wait to hear the heart beat. I give myself blood thinning injections daily which is no fun and very costly. I do feel blessed to have health insurance too though.
Now, little Madelyn has to have her tonsils and adenoids removed and tubes in her ear. Unfortunately, my blood condition is hereditary and now they have to run tests on her to see if she has the same problem before they can do any surgeries. She has already had to have her blood drawn twice in the last month. Bless her little heart. It is no fun at all.
Needless to say, if you cannot reach us over the next few months, we are likely at one of the many doctor appointments we have scheduled. ie, we spent 9 hours at different Dr appointments this week alone! Dose anyone want an extra 4 year old? Avery is fed up with hanging out with us!
Madelyn turned two yesterday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MADDY! Luckily she is too young to understand and demand a birthday party. I know that I won't be able to get away with this forever but as we did last year, we are pushing her birthday celebration off a few weeks. It is just too soon after Christmas for me. Thank goodness the next one isn't around any holidays.
Any updated photos would be stuck on my MAC!@^!&*(^#@)$!
About Madelyn. She is truly our "Drama Queen"! Every bump, scratch, fall, even tap is followed immediately by a dramatic woe is me and only kisses make it better. She is very opinionated and is already very demanding about her wardrobe. Unless we are going somewhere, she insists on wearing her princess dress-up atire all day long! When we are going out, she insists on wearing either a dress or a skirt and loves to have leggins on with her skirts! She likes to have her nails painted but for some reason refuses to wear bows. She is a wild child, full of energy and spunk. I never wanted to be the parent who went to nursery to pick up their kid and weekly someone reminds you, "oh that one's spitfire isn't she" or "She's a livewire!" To put it nicely one woman said, "she can definately hold her own". But we love our Madelyn. Our beautiful, spunky, always hungry, silent assasin who still doesn't sleep through the night! Maybe the surgery will help with that.
