Hachooy and other boogery things

Steve and I went ahead and made the drive back home with Addison on Thursday night.
He was getting a sore throat, I have had a very dry and yet runny nose, and Addison was growing more and more congested and worn out by the minute.  I had hoped that she would get a good nights sleep once at home in her own bed.  That wasn't necessarily the case though.  She still woke up a few times during the night and struggled a little with sleep.  

This morning she woke up and seemed in decent spirits and didn't sound too bad so I went ahead and drove back out to the lake with her, leaving Steve here to work from home.  
I enjoyed getting to spend more time with the fam, but Addison just got more and more grumpy as the day wore on - even after a nice nap she was still in a bit of melt down mode most of the day.    I finally decided to pack it up and head home again for the night.  

Shayna came home tonight from a week at her Dad's.  I was very anxious to have her back at home!  It is nice when our family is all here - it just feels complete.  I had high hopes earlier in the day that I would be able to make one final trip to the lake to spend with everyone before they leave and let Shayna spend the day with everyone as well.  Unless Addison and/or Steve get to feeling better though, this is not likely to happen.  Both are feeling very sick.  
Neither are running a fever, but Addison had a very rough evening, and hasn't slept well so far tonight.  

This could be a long night and an even longer weekend.  :/

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 ...
