Lunch with my friend

Today my friend Stephanie and I had a quick lunch with the kids at Chic-fil-a.  
It's so hard to believe sometimes that the two of us...the party queens that have known each other since just after high school and went to the same high school, are both mothers of two.  
Me, a teen and a toddler and Stephanie with two boys, Gavin and Grayson who are only 13 months apart - Grayson being exactly 2 weeks younger than Addison.  

It was a great time even with (especially because of) the wildness of the kiddos.  I love times like today.  Times where a friend from 15 years ago, when we were very different people from who we are now, and I can come together and still relate to each other and where we are at.  Hanging with someone who loves me for me and won't judge me as a parent - just loves me as a friend.  

Thanks for being my constant friend Stephanie.  This blog post is for you... ;)

Ahh, thank you not only for the kind comments, but for being that person who I can always turn to and count on, for being that person who knows me better than I know myself and for being an amazing friend in return. These times, the ones you mentioned, are what we waited for...from when we first started the pregnancy chapter back in '05! We are here, in the now with our beautiful and healthy children. God is awesome!
I love you Pea!
HUGS forever, Steph

Tall tales...and other poop related news

Addison, as it turns out, has a great imagination (either that or there is some television show or movie that she has watched recently that I have no idea about). Beginning last Friday we potty trained Addison (hallelujah for fast learners). She has done SO well and caught on in only a day! The funniest part of the whole thing though is how Addison has made up this whole scenario to help her with the pooping thing. I think it was either Sunday or Monday night that she was sitting on the potty going poop, and I was gathering the clothes for her to get dressed for bed. She started hollering, "Mom, Mom! There is a dinosaur!" "A dinosaur?" I replied enthusiastically! "Wow! Where is the dinosaur?" "It's in the potty! Look!!! Look!!" So I looked, and right as I was looking she looked too and then looked at me and said, "Well, actually it's a lizard." It was very matter of fact, and very Addisonesque with the sideways cock of...

Blue? pink? or little white pills?

We are at a crossroad in our lives.   In September I declared that I was in for ONE MORE MONTH and that was it on the baby making stuff.  We would try that month - and let the chips fall where they may.  I will be 35 in June and this is the last month that we had to have a baby "before the dreaded 35".  This has been my cut off age for wanting to have anymore kids since the beginning of this adventure.  I held out very small expectations that anything would come of it and had accepted that Shayna and Addison were it for us.  Not that I am complaining cause they are a wonderful "it" to have.  Both girls just rock my world! However, God has a funny way of working sometimes.  On Friday, my "aunt" was all of about three hours late arriving - so I did what I always do, I grabbed a handy dandy pregnancy test and figured that once I got the negative result my aunt would appear shortly.  Isn't that how it always works?  It's like taking the test just ...

What will be....will be

...and so begins the next journey in our life.  We have four more years (AHHH...ONLY FOUR?) with sweet Shayna - to mold and shape her before sending her off into the great big world.  We have 17 years with Addison - and that will be it for us in the youngster department.   Today we received the bad news that my HCG levels had dropped between Monday and Wednesday.  I went from thinking about baby names one minute, to the reality that there will be no baby the next.   It is almost comical how one begins to want something so bad when they aren't able to have it. How a person can think they don't even want any more kids...until they are faced with the inability to make that choice.   What's ironic, is that I had dealt with it.  I was okay with not having any more kids after Addison.  But I decided that we could give it one more try before I threw in the towel.   So we did, and never in my wildest dreams did I imagine we would actually get pregnant last month. But we did, and I ...
