<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Looking forward to getting back into the blogging world. :)</span>Darbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11054055491396379440noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7891235877615334146.post-26173730995762645092015-03-18T16:02:00.000-07:002015-03-18T16:02:38.882-07:00A breath of fresh air.You know how when you go to a theme park and ride the roller coaster with all of the loops and huge hills, you feel as though you left your stomach at the top of the first drop? And then you finally feel it coming back to you as the ride slowly makes its last curve at the end of the ride? That's about where I am right now and I can not wait until the harness lifts up and I can run to the exit.<br />
<br />
Before we got our fetal MRI results back, I got a phone call from the receptionist at a pediatric neurologist up in Lebanon where we had the test done. I had received no phone call saying that we were being referred to the neurologist, so naturally I freaked out and they weren't able to give me any information over the phone. We were able to set up an appointment with the neurologist the next day so thankfully we didn't have to wait long for our results.<br />
<br />
Some doctors LOVE to beat around the bush when delivering any kind of news, while inside you are screaming "JUST TELL ME ALREADY". Bless this doctor's heart, the first thing he said to us was that there were NO signs of anything else wrong in Brady's brain. The ventricles are still mildly enlarged, but since that is the only red flag we are in a great spot. I will have a few more ultrasounds before he's born to make sure they don't get any bigger, but we should be in the clear.<br />
For the first time since we strapped ourselves into this this roller coaster ride, I was able to cry tears of relief, rather than the tears of fear and uncertainty that had made it's way down my cheeks way too many times this pregnancy. <b>I am finally able to breathe</b>.<br />
<br />
In other news, I passed my gestational diabetes test, which was great news! My iron is low and they have me taking supplements for that. It would definitely explain why I have felt more tired than usual. I'm also down to biweekly appointments! It's always exciting when your appointments get closer together. We are nearing the end! I officially have all of the worksheets and paperwork for the hospital, a prescription for my breast pump, and papers have been signed for a tubal litigation after my c-section. I'm finally confident in saying that I am completely okay with being done having babies. This pregnancy has done a number on me emotionally, and we are happy with 3 kids.<br />
I will do a photo update soon! Brady's nursery is almost done. I have a few DIY projects I plan on doing this week/weekend for both his and the girls' rooms, so I will be doing room tours eventually :)Darbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11054055491396379440noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7891235877615334146.post-48502067775012525082015-03-02T20:04:00.000-08:002015-03-02T20:04:01.473-08:00Thoughts & prayers!<div class="MsoNormal">
So we are all moved in to our new house! We moved this past
weekend and are just about unpacked. I can’t wait to do a house tour when
everything is set up and decorated! This weekend we will be finishing up the
girls’ room and starting on Brady’s nursery. It has been kind of a catch-all
for everything that doesn’t have a spot so that room will probably take the
longest. I’m excited to start picking up pieces for it, though!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I can’t believe there are only about 12 weeks left of my
pregnancy. I have about 86 days left until my c-section (we don’t have a set
date yet, but I will be 39 weeks over Memorial Day weekend so it just depends
on when my doctor is on the schedule). I have been trying to enjoy these weeks
as this will be my last pregnancy, but we have been going through a lot.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I mentioned how Brady was at an increased risk for Down’s
syndrome, but that the Harmony test came back as there being a .001% chance of
him being born with it. We thought all was fine and dandy until it came time
for my 20 week anatomy scan. They found a spot on his heart that I had to have
re-checked at a specialist’s office. So off we went and when we got the
ultrasound done, it turns out the spot was just a calcification that cleared
up. But… the left ventricle in his brain is enlarged.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I had never heard of this happening before so naturally I
freaked out. They didn’t seem concerned and says it will usually resolve
itself. I scheduled another ultrasound for a month later, which ended up being
last week. I had been praying on good news every night for the last month, but
the ultrasound detected zero change. (Which I guess can also be a good thing,
because at least it hasn’t gotten any bigger). We had to schedule an MRI in
either Boston, MA or Lebanon, NH – both locations have hospitals that
specialize in fetal MRIs – and where we went depended on who could get us in
faster. Our fetal MRI is scheduled for Wednesday night up in Lebanon (we
were hoping for Boston since it’s half the commute – but we wanted this done as
quickly as possible so we could have some answers) so we will be making the 2 hour drive while my sister watches the girls.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Please keep us in your thoughts & prayers! We have been
sitting on the edge of our seats waiting for some kind of answer. <o:p></o:p></div>

The first few nights, Keith had to lay on the floor with her for upwards of 2 hours until she fell asleep, but now we put her in there and she cries for a few minutes and goes right to sleep. She still gets up halfway through the night and makes her way to our bed, but baby steps!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So thrilled to be moving OUT of an apartment and into a house! We will still be renting, but we are thinking this will be the perfect "for now" home while we work towards getting a house a few years down the road. It's a 3 bedroom, so the girls will share a room and Brady will get his own room. The backyard is humongous (look at it!!), and there is a nice sunny playroom for the kids to play in. We are literally 2 minutes away from our favorite park and bakery, and the school district is good! Spending my whole childhood growing up in the city, I have never lived in a house with a backyard so I am really excited to be able to have this for my children. I can't wait for swing sets and little swimming pools, and cookouts in the summer! I asked our landlord if we would have access to the garden boxes, because I think Aubrey would really enjoy starting her own garden, but I guess they rotted and had to be removed. I am going to ask him if it would be okay for me to build another one. We are moving at the end of February and it can not come soon enough!! We are putting down our security deposit and signing our lease tomorrow and then the fun and packing begins!</span></div>

It had been a few years since the last one that we went to and we had a blast! My dad used to take me to Disney on Ice shows all the time when I was a kid and every time I get to go to one, it brings back some fond memories. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I was really excited to try out my new camera that Keith got me. It took some amazing pictures, although I definitely need to get used to the different settings!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Worlds of Fantasy features Cars, The Little Mermaid, Tinkerbell and Toy Story and each of the sets were amazing. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The show started off with Mickey & his friends, as it usually does. They travel to each of the different "worlds", starting off at Radiator Springs to visit Lightening McQueen and Tow Mater! We aren't huge Cars fans in our house (although that may change with a little boy on the way!) so I didn't get a ton of pictures.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After a short intermission, it was time for Toy Story! Aubrey & I agreed this was our favorite part of the show. It told the story of Toy Story 3 and was definitely the longest set. It started off with Andy packing his toys away to put in the attic just like in the movie and it hit all of the major scenes, right down to the incinerator and Andy saying goodbye to his beloved friends.</span></div>

When I went for the early risk assessment ultrasound and bloodwork, something didn't come back quite right. The baby's risk of Down syndrome increased from a 1 in 785 chance (normal for my age) to a 1 in 69 chance. Naturally, we freaked out. We did a ton of research and booked a level 2 ultrasound for ASAP. I knew I would love that sweet baby regardless of the outcome, but the fear of the unknown had me going crazy. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When we got our appointment with the genetic counselor, we were offered the Harmony test. It's a blood test that can determine with 99% accuracy if the baby will be born with Down syndrome, and it can also tell the sex of the baby. We took advantage of that offer and also did the ultrasound, which was normal. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">They said to expect the Harmony results in 2 weeks, but it could be longer since we did it the Monday before Thanksgiving. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">But, exactly one week later, I got that phone call. I nervously answered the phone. "Hi, I have the results for the Harmony test! Are you ready?" .... of course I was ready! I have been sitting on the edge of my seat for the last 7 days! "The test for Down syndrome came back negative. There is a .001% chance your baby will be born with it. I also know the sex of the baby, if you would like to know?" </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">UMMMMM, IS THAT A LEGIT QUESTION?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Then she said the 3 words that have kept a permanent smile plastered to my face for the last 6 days.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I was so excited, I started crying. I ran into Babies R Us and grabbed the cutest pair of boy PJs I could find and hurried down to Keith's work while he was still on his lunch break. We weren't expecting the phone call for another week so when I called him sounding frantic, he had no idea what was going on. I wrapped the PJs up in a gift bag and had him open it and the look on his face was priceless.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We wanted this little man SO badly and are so excited to get to meet him. I am due in late May and time is actually going by surprisingly fast. There is a lot to do before he is born. We need a bigger home, a bigger car.. and lots of BLUE things! We've already gotten a little jumpstart on shopping.. it's a totally different experience than buying girl clothes but we are loving every minute of it!</span></div>

Today marked Aubrey's 6th day of school and already, our fridge has been overloaded with artwork!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Inspired by a post made by Adriana over at <a href="http://www.storiesofahappymom.com/2014/08/mommy-tips-managing-school-project.html" target="_blank">Stories Of A Happy Mom</a>, I decided to research ways to save it. I find myself to be a super sentimental mama and if I don't find a way to manage this, we are going to need a room dedicated to art projects.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">She suggested this really cool sounding app called "<a href="http://www.artkiveapp.com/" target="_blank">ArtKive</a>", which allows you to snap photos of your kids' projects and then archive them by child, age, year, and can even share them with family. I definitely like this idea, because like most people I don't go anywhere without my phone in my pocket, so it's super easy and convenient to just snap a picture as I'm going through her daily communication folder and then upload it when I have a free minute on my lunch break or when I'm relaxing at the end of the day.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Another great option I've seen floating around is to take photos of the artwork (either with your phone or a camera if you want better quality) and upload them to Shutterfly or another photo sharing website and create photo books! I always seem to be seeing codes for a free 8x8 book through Shutterfly (or if you are like us and have a younger child who is in diapers, you can use Pampers Rewards Points from diapers/wipes and redeem them on a free book).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you have extra time on our hands (ha! Extra time! What is that?!), scrapbooking is also a great option. I used to love scrapbooking with my sister. She made scrapbooks for her boys and I couldn't wait to have kids of my own to make them scrapbooks! I got as far as making Aubrey one for her first birthday and haven't picked up any supplies since. Our walk in closet is half craft supplies that I just don't have the time to do. Someday...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My favorite boys are back with a new album! My Adam Levine obsession is no secret and has been in effect for about 10 years so I was pumped when they announced a new album was in the works. I preordered the album bundle, which came with the CD, postcards that are going to be promptly hung up in my cubicle, a presale access code for their tour, and an MP3 download so I could download the album as soon as Tuesday hit (I ended up downloading it at 1:30 in the morning when I got home from work and listened to it twice before hitting the hay. Whoops). I'm hoping to score great seats for the show! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My favorite songs on the album are Sugar, Sex and Candy (yup - a cover of Marcy Playground!), In Your Pocket and Shoot Love. But the whole album is amazing!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I scored this adorable polka dot cardigan, as well as a fleece Gap zip up for her for the cooler weather, for $5 total. If you aren't a part of your city's yard sale group, get on it. In the past I have also scored a grill for $50, a $280 area rug for $30, and an umbrella stroller for free. All in great condition!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Well that was a mouthful. I love grabbing a carton of ID iced coffee to stick in the fridge at work. It saves me a trip to grab coffee on my lunch breaks, and also saves some money. This flavor is really good. I always tend to add some milk to any of the flavors because I find them very sweet, but this one wasn't too bad!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A friend of mine asked if I wanted to host an online Jamberry party. She sent me some samples to put on, which I was a bit skeptical about because I have always bitten my nails. But I said s<i>ure, why not?</i>. The wraps lasted about 5 days because as a first time user, my application was a little sloppy and I didn't push my cuticles back like the instructions stated. But they still looked amazing even after cleaning out my car and my house. AND! I haven't bitten my nails in a week and am seeing growth! If you want to try out Jamberry, you can order through <a href="http://julieanderson.jamberrynails.net/shop" target="_blank">my online party here</a>! (Make sure you choose my party at checkout. It is closing on Sunday) They are buy 3 sheets, get 1 free and you can get up to 3-4 applications with one sheet. The above are my favorite nails that are in the new fall/winter catalog that just debuted. How adorable are the ugly sweater nails?! They also had Thanksgiving and Halloween nails that were super cute.</span></div>

I couldn't believe how fast they get into that, but I suppose it makes sense.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The first couple of days were rough. Lots of tears from Addie when we dropped Aubrey off at school and the crankiness continued until we went and picked her up. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But Addie and I, we are slowly getting into the swing of things and I am so enjoying getting alone time with my sweet baby, even if it's only for a few hours a day. Since day one, it was the three of us home during the day. Which was amazing, of course.. but this alone time is just what we needed.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We went and grabbed a quick breakfast with Addie and came back to the house for a bit. I'm going to miss Aubrey like crazy when she's at school, but I really loved having alone time with Addie. We've never really had much opportunity for one on one time and now we will have some every day!</span></div>

I'm sure you're a mixture of nervous and excited as a new group of 5 year olds join your classroom for the next 10 months. It's another year of putting faces to names and deciphering each child's individual learning needs and learning to read each kid's personality.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">There's a couple things you should know about Aubrey.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia4n4Rv5ArdD3L5XU0ibo6pTYj24HRLnY7rbLJiIWAC02ATX7_avNumqb0p8r99ltaoFxAO_kuhJmHElcE5Ay3DwsvQHywwbrO7bU5lhonq8qdko35vVF5W2vxxK-HZQI-QRTQFwuVBuo/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia4n4Rv5ArdD3L5XU0ibo6pTYj24HRLnY7rbLJiIWAC02ATX7_avNumqb0p8r99ltaoFxAO_kuhJmHElcE5Ay3DwsvQHywwbrO7bU5lhonq8qdko35vVF5W2vxxK-HZQI-QRTQFwuVBuo/s1600/2.jpg" height="400" width="292" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You should know that she has a very strong desire to learn everything about anything. The number of questions she asks in a day is astounding. Some find it annoying. I see it as her trying to soak in everything humanly possible. She will probably have a question about everything you talk about. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You should know that she has a speech delay. Up until about a year ago, she barely spoke to anyone but me and Keith, and occasionally her aunts and grandparents. She had the thoughts and couldn't get the words out in a way that people would understand. This caused her to hole up and ignore anyone who tried to talk to her. She has come very far in the past year and has blossomed into a whole new kid, but she is still working on her speech and still has some sounds that are hard to decipher. Please be patient with her. It breaks my heart to see her upset when she isn't understood.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You should know that she takes a minute to look at the camera for a picture. So if you could, take a couple extras. I promise the sweet picture you get as an end result is well worth it.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">You should know that that little girl is my whole world. From the moment I found out I was pregnant with her, she consumed my life. I debated over nursery fabrics. I babyproofed my apartment. In the car I replaced Eminem with Laurie Berkner, and at home I replaced Sex and the City with endless repeats of Toy Story (1, 2 and 3. I'm pretty sure I could recite each of them from beginning to end). I scoured every weekly email that compared her to the size of a poppy seed. A peach. A zucchini. A watermelon. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And ever since that watermelon was placed into my arms for the first time, I dreaded this day. Between then and now, I was always able to hold her hand through it all. Once she walks through that classroom door, I share her life with you. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We got a chance to see you and your classroom today, and some of those feelings of dread were replaced with excitement. Because I saw the way her face lit up when she saw that she was seated next to her friend that she met at the playground yesterday during the Kindergarten Meet-Up.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I saw her eyes fill with wonder as she fingered through the books in your mini library and all of the ways you incorporate each child's name into your classroom.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I felt your hand on my shoulder as I watched her do one of your open house activities, deciding whether or not I was going to let a tear fall. I saw the look of acceptance she felt when she was explaining the picture to yo</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">u and you listened and asked questions.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You get it. I know you do. I'm sure you deal with parents like me every year. Parents who are ready to see their child, who they spent the last 5 years putting their blood, sweat and tears into, spread their wings and blossom into mini adults.. but at the same time want to take that child home and just forget about this whole "kindergarten" thing. Parents who have seriously considered homeschooling just for those extra hours in the day. But in the end, I know she's in good hands. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><br />

The last Monday before Kindergarten. We've spent the last week preparing for this big day. We went school shopping with Grammy last Sunday and Aubrey picked out a bunch of "cool clothes" (including a zebra print sweatshirt.. yup she's definitely my kid!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A mommy-and-me date on Monday, just the two of us, to shop for more clothes and accessories. But not before stopping at our local airport's diner for some breakfast and plane watching.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We have been getting Miss A to bed earlier each night so she's used to it by the time Wednesday night rolls around. It's definitely super important for kids to get enough sleep during the school year and we haven't had the strictest schedule over the summer. She has been adjusting to it really well. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We were invited to go to a kindergarten meet-up this morning at the playground at Aubrey's new school so the kids could meet each other. We were all asked to bring a snack or drink, so Aubrey and I spent the weekend making these adorable fish snacks!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">They were super easy to make. You will need the following:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- A printer</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- Crayons (or you could find a clip art fish that is already colored. I thought having Aubrey color them herself would add a cute touch)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- Ribbon</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- A hole punch</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- Plastic baggies (I used sandwich bags- no zip closure- and just trimmed the tops after I was done so they looked "neater")</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- Goldfish. I got 3 packages and it made about 40 bags with between 25-30 in each)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My plan was to put Addie to bed early last night and have Aubrey help me by counting the fish to put in each bag, but I got the mother of all migraines and had to go lay down for a good chunk of the night. I woke up around 10:00 and finished them myself. The whole process probably took about 2 hours total.</span><br />

One more week until Labor Day. 5 more days until my little lady starts KINDERGARTEN (whaaaat?!). This summer flew by. Let's check the progress on our Bucket List. There are only 2 things that we haven't done yet, and to be honest we probably won't get a chance to do them until at least next month. 8 out of 10 ain't bad!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The tilt-a-whirl (aka Turtle Twirl) was Aubrey's FAVORITE RIDE EVER. I only lasted halfway through the first ride before I felt like I was going to lose my lunch (which was delicious.. pulled pork with coleslaw, onion straws and barbeque sauce on a pretzel roll! Probably the best thing in that park). I'm pretty sure she went on it about 8 times, making everyone in the family go on with her. Glad she didn't inherit my weak stomach!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you ever get a chance to go to Story Land, I would highly recommend it! The day before we went, we went to our library and checked out all of the classics and read them on our way up! Aubrey knew all of the popular ones, like The Three Little Pigs and Goldilocks, but there were some that she wasn't familiar with and I'm glad that we got the books to read. Some of the books we got included: Rumpelstiltskin, The Three Billy Goats Gruff, Red Riding Hood, The Three Little Pigs, Goldilocks, Little Miss Muffett, Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater, Humpty Dumpty, Peter Rabbit, The Old Lady in the Shoe, and Mary Had a Little Lamb. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Day 2 started bright and early in our hotel! We packed up our things and went down for a complimentary breakfast. I think we both agreed we would have been better off tracking down a diner, but oh well. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I read reviews that the food was gross and overpriced at the zoo (for what it's worth, I saw what other zoo-goers were eating and it didn't look bad at all), so we headed to a local spot for some pizza. Thanks to Yelp, we ordered our first ever<a href="http://www.anthonysfoodshop.com/" target="_blank"> gas station pizza</a>. I know.. it sounds iffy. But they have a whole little to-go counter with subs and sandwiches and all sorts of yummy stuff. And it was some of the best pizza I've had in a long time. If you are ever in York, you need to go here. They also had mudslide iced coffee that was out of this world.</span></div>

I told her I didn't think it was a good idea, especially when we saw a 10 year old coming out running and crying. But she insisted, and she did great! No tears, just a little jump when they triggered a loud alarm.</span></div>

We rented a room for a night up in York, Maine and had 2 days of fun! To avoid making this post too picture heavy, I split up the days into different posts.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Our day started bright and early Monday morning. After a much needed coffee stop after I only got 4 hours of sleep from working the night before, we were on our way!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We kicked off our vacation with a trip to Davis Farmland. We try to go there at least once a year. The girls loved it and it was a nice day out!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">They added a new display since the last time we went: kittens to adopt! We are not ready to add any more members to our family any time soon, but they were so adorable and fun to cuddle for a little while!</span><br />

Nothing too fancy with the cake this year. She wanted a funfetti cake. I made my first one from scratch, along with the frosting, and it came out really good. Recipe to follow at some point!</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It's that time of year again! The March for Babies walk! This year, we switched our name up a bit to honor not only KRJ, but our niece Lillian, <a href="http://foursawtelles.blogspot.com/2014/02/we-have-new-niece.html" target="_blank">who was born 13 weeks early</a>, as well. I came up with the design for our t-shirts and I couldn't have been more pleased with how they came out. I decided on boxing gloves to represent Lillian, who has fought her way through all of the obstacles and struggles of being born so prematurely, and the angel wings to represent KRJ. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When we got there, they had free bagels and coffee. Score! Their Area of Remembrance offered free white ribbons to those who have lost a baby, as well as river stones to write their names. I left this one there, and Aubrey wrote "KRJ" on a rock that has taken up residency on my desk at work :)</span></div>

It meant another trip to the cemetery, more tears, and more missing my dad. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">On Saturday, my mom & I got up early and went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast. When my dad was sick and in the hospital, our neighbor took us there for the first time just to get us out of the house, and since then, it's our favorite place to go together. It's comforting to us. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After breakfast, we stopped and got some flowers and then headed to the cemetery. This was my first time in years going without any kids, so I was really able to get down and dirty. I can see why so many people like gardening. It's really relaxing and therapeutic!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It wasn't until Father's Day of 2010, when Aubrey was 11 months old, did it finally start meaning something positive to me again.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">He is such an amazing daddy to our girls. I think part of that is because he is just a big kid himself. He loves to get down on the floor and chase them around the house, and they never smile so big as when they are getting a piggy back ride. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">On Sunday, we got up and cooked him his favorite breakfast: french toast, bacon, hashbrowns and corned beef hash. And then, instead of spending the day relaxing, he suggested going to Build-a-Bear to take advantage of the My Little Pony sale. Seriously, what a guy.</span><br />

I nearly had a mental breakdown on the way home while we fought through NYC traffic to make it back up to New Hampshire, but otherwise we had a great time!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Our trip started out super early. And I mean... super freaking early. I ended up leaving work early on Thursday because I had the mother of all migraines. I came home and slept, waking up at 11 still feeling like crap. Keith made me some rice so I could have something in my stomach to take some medicine. I forced about 10 bites down, took my meds, and passed out for another couple hours til I woke up at 1 feeling like a new woman. Our costumes still weren't finished, so I got up, put on the new Michael Jackson album (which I love!), and got to sewing.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We got to our hotel around 11 and checked our bags. Our room wasn't going to be ready until 3, so we just went into the bathroom off the lobby and took over for a half hour while we got ready. Our outfits for the day were Rainbow Dash and Applejack! See those cutiemarks? All stitched with love, baby. I used chalk to color Aubrey's hair and it was super easy. Everyone loved that extra touch and complimented her hair all day. Ignore my pasty legs. They've been hiding all winter, which lasted until April in New England. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We decided to step out a bit and get some fresh air and lunch. Being so close to New York, we had to get "New York style" pizza.. which I honestly wasn't too impressed with and think the pizza I can find back home in NH is better. Maybe I just chose the wrong place. Maybe my hopes were set too high. Either way, it was good, we both ate for about 5 bucks, and the pizza was about as big as our heads so I can't complain. </span></div>

We got an autographed print of her original ponies and got to pose for a picture and chat for a bit. Then she gave Aubrey some My Little Pony fruit snacks, which obviously completely won her over.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Saturday morning came really fast. We got up around 5:30 to go grab some breakfast. We went to Brownstone's Pancake Factory. It was on Diners, Drives & Dive-Ins and had great reviews on Yelp. Again, I had high hopes. I think a big downfall was the service. We had a waitress that spoke very little English, simply pointing at the "Pancakes" page when I asked her what was good. Plus a few other things, but whatever. The food was pretty good. I think my potato pancakes were probably made in-house at one point but then got frozen. Or maybe they are purchased frozen. I don't know, but their shape seemed too "perfect" and uniform. Anyhow. Aubrey got a chocolate chip pancake and it came out shaped as Mickey Mouse with a happy face, so she was loving that!</span><br />

I have been a long-time fan and was so excited when I saw that our hotel was about 15 minutes away from it! I had to ask 3 people to take our picture in front of the bakery. The first two said no. Could have been that I was rocking my Red Sox zip up. I don't think our kind are welcome down there. Jersey goes hand-in-hand with New York and they are our biggest rival in baseball. Oh well. I found a really nice man who was willing to take our picture and he got most of the sign in the background and didn't get a picture of one of us mid blink, so I was satisfied.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Speaking of satisfied, holy shit. I. Love. Carlo's. Bakery. The employees were super nice (could have been that we were there at 7:30 and one of only two families in the restaurant, so we beat the rush). No Buddy sightings, but I think we may have seen one of his sisters. She was wearing sunglasses so it was hard to tell, but it sounded like her. The guy helping us out was super patient as I paced back and forth and made some clearly life-altering decisions. We ended up with a box of Italian cookies, a couple cannolis, a cupcake for Aubrey for later because she was cranky and "didn't want anything" (but how could I not get her *something*? I knew a cupcake would suffice when she was feeling up to it), and a lobster tail, from which what I have seen on the show are one of their most popular items. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We went back to the hotel room to hang out for a bit before getting ready for Day 2 of the convention. The lobby had a mini Starbucks in it so I grabbed a caramel macchiato (which the barista mixed up before giving to me, which I thought was strange because at any other Starbucks they give it to you with the milk on the bottom and espresso on top, but I always mix it anyway so I didn't pay too much mind to it). I decided to have Second Breakfast and pulled out my lobster tail. My assumption that it was going to be soft all the way through, like a danish. The inside was, but the outside was a crispy layer which was delicious, but I had no plates in the hotel room so it kind of made a mess. But oh lord, it was so delicious. </span></div>

It's something I hope to have around for a long time to let the girls look back on and read. They aren't going to care if I had a few extra rolls (but I am working on getting rid of them, so yay for that). </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We were running a little late by the time we got there, but thankfully we made it just in time to hear Storytime with Nicole Oliver, who voices Princess Celestia on the show. It was really neat and she pulled Aubrey up on stage to listen to the story! After the story, she gave all of the small kids in attendance a free book. Aubrey ended up with the one that Nicole read, which she thought was so amazing. Nicole was so great with the kids, talked to each of them individually and took the time to ask all of their names (granted, there weren't a huge amount. 90% of the convention attendees were Bronies).</span></div>

I ask her if she can hold it for 2 minutes while she goes on stage and she said she could. So she went and did her thing and my heart nearly stopped when I saw her start to crouch down.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>1. Attend the Big Apple Ponycon!</b> Aubrey has had an ongoing obsession with My Little Pony for the past 2 years. I first heard about Ponycon last year when Aubrey & I were at our local theater's special showing of My Little Pony: Equestria Girls. When I saw that it was coming back around this summer, I knew Aubrey would love to go, so Keith & I talked and decided that I would take Aubrey, since Addie is still really small and wouldn't be able to really do anything and would just be cranky the whole time, since she would be confined to her stroller. They are going to have a lot of kids events, arts and crafts, a pony salon, pony sing-a-long, and more. We surprised her about a month ago with this chalkboard that I made, along with a piggy bank to start saving money for spending at the convention, and she has religiously woken up each morning and counted down. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This Saturday night, Lifetime premiered Return To Zero, an Indie film about a couple who experience a heartbreaking loss right before the birth of their son, Arthur.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When I first heard about this movie, I was actually really looking forward to seeing it. <a href="http://foursawtelles.blogspot.com/2012/03/keith-ryan-jr.html" target="_blank">Having gone through a loss myself</a>, it was something that hit close to home and it was a relief to see a movie that would break the silence, since miscarriage and stillbirth are such taboo subjects.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Saturday night, after spending the day with Keith and the girls at a family cookout, I sat on my couch and nervously hit "play" on the DVR. I knew this would dig up a lot of emotions inside of me. Feelings that I deal with frequently but rarely show. And, my God, it felt good to get it out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This movie did an incredible job of telling the story of loss. It skims the surface of what loss looks like on the outside, but also gets down to the nitty-gritty of the toll it takes on the couple going through it. The good, the bad and the ugly.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There are a few scenes that really pulled my heart strings, and these may be triggers for moms who have dealt with loss. They are also spoilers, so if you haven't seen the movie or don't want to know what happens, you should probably stop here.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1. When Maggie's doctor told her she would need to deliver her baby. The sheer look of panic on her face. As someone who has never experienced a loss, Minnie Driver did a hell of a good job portraying this woman. This was the first of many scenes that sent me into a sobfest. I remember the exact moment when the on-call doctor at the hospital told me "Your baby is coming. You need to push." </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2. The moment when baby Arthur was placed into Maggie's arms. Ouch. My heart took me right back to when Keith & I got to hold our little guy. Those moments are forever etched in my memory. Ten perfect fingers and ten perfect toes. I'm so glad we got photos of those moments. I will treasure them as long as I live.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">3. Any time somebody told Maggie "everything happens for a reason". Let me tell you something. This is the LAST thing someone who lost a baby wants to hear. I can't tell you how many times I heard this, and it hurt like hell every single time. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">4. This conversation when Maggie's mother confides in her that she has experienced a miscarriage:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>"Miscarriage is not the same thing as a stillbirth, mom."</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>"It's still a loss and it still hurts. It's not just the loss of a baby. It's the loss of the possibility of what might have been, and that is exactly the same."</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This quote really stuck out for me. My pastor said something similar to this when we had a ceremony after the loss of our son. When a mother finds out she is expecting, she immediately starts envisioning this baby's future. She imagines out nursery themes for each gender, names, whose nose the baby will get. She starts to picture what that child will add to the family. When those dreams get taken away, she is left with a void in her heart.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Whether you loved the movie or hated it, the most important part is that it did it's purpose: to get people talking about this taboo subject. I pray that one day, those who experience loss can grieve openly and not feel any judgement. That they aren't told to "get over it". But until that day comes, my door is open.</span>Darbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11054055491396379440noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7891235877615334146.post-27069379530117692092014-05-14T10:39:00.003-07:002014-05-14T11:56:33.073-07:00Mother's Day<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We started the celebration on Saturday when we had my mom over for dinner. I was exhausted after going into the office for a little overtime that morning, but we enjoyed ourselves. We cooked steaks on the grill and made the Pioneer Woman's twice-baked potatoes. Oh lord. So good. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Sunday morning, Aubrey woke us up at 5am by coming into our bedroom in hysterics because one of her earrings came out. She was sleeping on one of her stuffed animals and it got stuck and came out when she was adjusting herself in her sleep. I had to climb up on her loft bed to find it so her hole wouldn't close up. Pretty sure I'm well over the weight limit. Ah well. It's still standing, so that's a plus.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After I got it back in, I decided to just stay up since my alarm was set for 6:40, anyway. I had some coffee and caught up on some of my favorite blogs in peace and quiet. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We had plans for brunch at the Cheesecake Factory, so everyone got up and dressed and I got my Mother's Day gift! In lieu of a card, I got a pretty, sparkly notebook with the first page decorated. Each year, the girls will add drawings, photos, and messages in it so I can have them all together in one place! I loved this idea.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We got to The Cheesecake Factory a little before 9 and waited outside. They opened the doors about 10 minutes early and we got seated and ordered. I decided on the Belgian waffle with strawberries. It was amazing! Keith got the Monte Cristo breakfast sandwich, which he liked but would have liked better if the french toast was cooked more. The girls split a French toast kids brunch meal and it was plenty.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We were stuffed after brunch, but can't leave without a slice of their famous cheesecake, so we decided to take it to go. Keith got the s'mores cheesecake, I got the Hershey bar cheesecake, and Aubrey decided she wanted chocolate cake. Little did we know how HUGE this piece was! There's still a small piece left in the fridge waiting to be eaten. </span><br />
