Yes I am still here!

So I haven't "blogged" because I didn't feel like updating my account to that whole google thing..whatever I finally decided to give in because I am bored and don't feel like doing homework. :) If you are bored I have a funny site for you to check out....www.mouseprint.org
I have been super busy..I am tired today because I actually got a break...I sub and go to school and take care of my ladies...:) In between it all I am working out A LOT..it is not as fun as it was in college ..I think that is because it is taking forever to lose my baby weight..ya ya I know I only have a kid that is 2 months old..I know but I still am crazy :) Well this is a completely mindless blog, but whatever..now you can at least have something new to read on here. Lilly is laying here next to me..She is so funny..as soon as I put Colette to bed she decides to wake up and want attention..when I finally am like ok I will have some time to get work done..she wakes up :) She is still so little..I am trying to find a cute dress for her and Colette to wear to her baptism in a couple weeks. Ya so that is it...all is well here...we are a busy little family, so sorry if I have neglected you..Have a super sunday :)

Down

So I have to say I have been feeling a bit down lately...My daughter is still in the hospital and I feel like I miss out a lot with her because I can't go to see her as much as I would like. I am lucky I do have family that helps out a lot with Colette...they take her basically whenever I need them to. I still feel like if she was home it would be a lot better. I also haven't seen many of my friends lately. It is weird Lillian has been in the hospital since Nov and some haven't really said anything about it. I don't really want to get into that or I may get a little pissed off at the way people are. Not all have been like that though. I have some they have been great.I do have to say I was so excited to hear from an old friend today. She wrote me to tell me she just had a little boy! I have been wanting to talk to her for forever, but didn't know how to reach her. It was a great encouragement to hear from her. I am sitting here at the hospital holding my little one and I am just thankful that she is getting better. We still don't know when she will be home, but we are hoping soon. For now we are just busy taking care of Colette and coming to see Lillian as much as we can. I never knew coming to the hospital could get so stressful..I will be glad to be done coming here for awhile. :)

OH MY GOSH! I cannot believe I am almost a year old...Gees I feel so old. I mean look at me I have teeth now..I am eating stuff besides that nasty formula and as my mom already told all of you I am WALKING! What a relief not to have to crawl all over the place anymore. This year has been great. I enjoyed being an only child, but am now ready to take the role as the BIG sister! Gsh..My parents are crazy..they think I am a handfull just wait till I have a little sister at home to run around with..hehehe..I am gonna show her all my tricks..My other achievement is that I am sleeping alllllllllll night now...I think my parents are overjoyed by this. Now if I can just get the sippy cup under control I think I will be ready for the world. I mean really what else do I need...a good sippy cup, some teeth, and my skill to walk across a room. I am set! :) Anyway, I have to go because it is almost bedtime and mommy gets cranky if I stay up late! Hope you all have a great Christmas..I still haven't figured this one out yet..some fat man is gonna bring me presents in a sled...WHAT...whatever...maybe I will get it next year..who knows. Ok well time to go mom just found me on her computer and she is saying that word I hate so much NO! Shhhhh..don't tell her I know how to type.....MUAH!

Hospital News

Well I am completely in shock that it is the week before Christmas. I don't really feel like it is a holiday this year. Although, I think it will be a good break for Bob and I to go to dinner on Christmas. Lillian will not be out yet. She is working on gaining weight and drinking from a bottle. We just found out yesterday that she has PVL. This basically means some of her white blood cells died off at birth from trauma...not having enough oxygen to the brain. This could be a result of the bleeding I was experiencing. We also found out she is at level one for bleeding. It is all a big shock to us and we are a bit overwhelmed with the news. We are just very worried about our daughter. Besides that news I quit my job last week. I decided for now it is best for me to sub in my district. I will continue to go to grad school and be at home with the girls. Then I can sub on and off when I want. I just really don't know when I will actually be able to go back to work full time. Big news with Colette is that she is WALKING! It is so exciting! She is turning into the big sister! :) Very cute. Well that is the news on my family. Write more later!
