going, going, going..................

I feel like I am ALWAYS on the go. I can never sit still with her! She is always wanting to be up and moving. She has also started a weird sleeping habit. She loves to wake up around 12am and stay awake!!!! sometimes till 4am or 6am. Mommy can not keep doing that! Man she wears me out sometimes.
Today we had some friends over and it was so nice to watch all the babies play together and get to talk with other moms. It makes you realize that everyone is going through the same thing. Its hard being a mom.

We had her 6m check up on Monday. I had to go by myself because Ryan was really sick. She weighs 15.4 pounds and is in the 40% for her weight. Her height was 25in which puts her in the 25% for height. Little girl! She got three shots, I had to have Cathy hold her down so I could leave because I hate watching her get them. Ryan also had a shot! I think Kensley handled it better than he did! He is feeling a lot better now which is good. He was on vacation this week and I didn't want him sick the whole week. She is rolling over like crazy now too. And she is almost sitting up! I bet it will happen in a week or so. I'll post pictures as soon as it happens. I also noticed her sucking her thumb....ahhhhh... Ryan and I were both thumb suckers till elementary school! I know its a bad habit but its so cute! Well here are some pictures we took today! The one of her and Ryan is absolutely adorable-- OK well it took too long to upload so I'll do it later!

Summer Fun!


Well I went to the oncologist on Tuesday and surgery is set for July 10th. The doctor does not think it is cancer so that is a good thing. They are going to remove the tumor and either replace it with cadaver bone or take the joint out completely. He wont know until he is in the arm. So unfortunately I will not be able to use my arm for two weeks after the surgery. Luckily I have amazing friends and family who will be able to take care of Ryan and Kensley while I'm stuck in a sling!


So far other than that summer has been great. We swim a few times during the week and she loves it! We went over to Brady's on Monday and she had so much fun! Me on the other hand got a little too much sun and is not lobster colored. I was going to start a new hobby of bow making but went to the store and realized that it is way too expensive and I will have better luck just buying them. I think it would be so much fun though because I would be able to make them to match her outfits. Right now I'm on the look out for a huge fourth of July bow! I want it really big.

Hope everyone else is having a great summer!

Semi results I guess you could say......


I went to the doctor today and they referred me to an oncologist. I see him on Tuesday. He is one of the best in the area so that makes me feel a little better. Basically what it is, is a giant cell tumor in the bone. It has hollowed out my bone and pushed out causing the joint to fracture. Eroding it is what he said. Its about 5.2cm long and 1.6x1.6cm in diameter. Pretty big. They will do a biopsy and determine procedure from there. There is a possibility that they will have to do a total joint replacement because of the damage. Its also possible that it could be cancerous. Not high chances though. I will know more after they go in. Luckily its on in the same day. When they biopsy it they will also do the surgery. I'll post an update next Tuesday.


Other that that summer has been a blast. I go work out everyday and usually take Kensley to the pool. She loves it! I stocked up and made a ton of baby food so that was productive!

Not in my summer plans

Well today was the last day of school with kids. It was bitter sweet watching them leave. I was happy because it means summer is here but sad because the 8th graders were the first set of kids I taught. They all promised to come back and visit, but they will be big high schoolers and will forget about their middle school teacher.

On a different note, I finally went to the doctor for my arm on Tuesday. He referred me to an orthopedic doctor who took a look at the X-rays yesterday. He thinks it's either a tumor or a cyst on the bone and is sending me to have a CT scan and MRI on Friday. I will get the results on Tuesday and then go from there. All I can think about is what if its cancer or something. I don't care about the pain or treatments I just care about being here for Ryan and Kensley. I'm sure everything is fine but it still sits in the back of my mind. THIS WAS NOT IN MY SUMMER PLANS! Either way it will have to be removed. And to think, I just got done paying off all the doctor bills from the delivery! How am I ever going to get to Turks and Caicos if things like this keep coming up.

Summer is almost here!

4 days and counting! I think when you are looking forward to something time goes by slower :(
This weekend was full of sleepless nights! Either she is teething or having bad dreams, she was up every hour on the hour! It was so sad.....she would cry and scream and little tears would fall down her face, but as soon as you stuck that paci in everything was fine and dandy :) I dread the day we will take that away from her.
Jennifer and I got a gym membership at Lifetime after many hours of convincing the husbands. We are super excited! They have an indoor and outdoor pool so it will be nice for the kids but the best part is that its 2 hours of baby free time!!!!!!!!!!! And of course trying to work off the baby fat. My plan is to go 5 times a day..... I should say I have to go 5 times a day or Ryan will make me cancel!
Kensley tried the pool again yesterday. She liked it for about 5 minutes then I think her friend Hannah intimidated her and she started crying. She was hungry and tired so I probably should have waited. I'll get some new pictures of her in the pool and post them this week.
