Just when I thought it was over....

We all got sick. Okay, so Bri didn't, but the rest of us did. Ashtyn has been throwing up and not eating for a week! I thought I would go crazy. That is so unlike her. She loves to eat! Anyway, on Thursday I thought it was finally over. She actually had a little breakfast and then asked for oranges later on! I was so relieved after going to the doctor, checking her blood for diabetes, (I have it in my family), and also checking for a UTI (which she has had before). Anyway, it turned out to be a virus. So, I thought we were all clear until I got home and had a message from Shay's teacher saying she threw up at school!! Ahh! I rush over to the school and get her home for the day. We hang out all day and then I start feeling it. Hmm... Well, the good news is that I didn't throw up, just didn't feel good. Later we pick up Tera from school and she comes home and sleeps on my bed for an hour (very unlike Tera). When she wakes up, she starts puking too! At least the older two got it at the same time huh?

Friday my girls and I spent the whole day on the couch. I read my book, and actually it was quite nice to not have anything to do. Oh, except get water for the girls every little while, make sure they had their buckets ready just in case, keep up the tylenol, and clean the bathroom every couple of hours (: . At the end of the day I think we were all ready to see a fresh face! Thank goodness for husbands. Bri took over then and I happily finished my book.

Today we are pretty much better. Tera said she is feeling great and went out to play and Ashty was so grateful to have someone to go out with her, and I went to Enrichment. Shay still has a fever poor girl, but she got off the couch and ate a little dinner. I think we are on the uphill.

Enrichment was great today. I didn't plan on going because I felt awful last night, but I felt better this morning, and I'm glad I made it. I went to a class on decluttering your life. She had some great ideas, and Joni, you will be happy to know that she talked about "Fly Lady"!!
The other class I heard was on haircutting! Very great tips, just wait until you see Brian's new haircut! Just kidding, it will be a week or so before he lets me cut his hair again...

Ooh everyone having the stomach flu is just the pits!! I'm glad they are getting better. I really enjoyed the de-clutter class too - well except for having my cel phone go off in the middle!! :) I'm going to have to check out fly lady.

Ugh. I hate being sick! I'm so sorry you have to do all that. And I'm sure Brian's hair will be just great.

I'm glad you're all feeling better--I saw Shay hanging out with Bri at church yesterday, and asked her if she was sick. She nodded, and didn't have her usual bright smile, but she does have a good daddy to take care of her. I hope she's much better today!

I am sorry they were all sick! It is so hard on them.

I hope Brian's haircut doesn't end up looking like Brent Walls! =)

Shay's B-day, Maple syrup, and Cryosurgery

Image
This last week has been a little crazy for our family. Most of us have been sick (except Brian, Shay, and I) so it's been fun battling fevers and antibiotics, but also trying to do field trips, volunteering at school, doctors appointments, science projects, birthdays, basketball, ballet, iceskating etc. Whew!! I'm glad it's over. Although today is a catch up day on Tera and Shay's science projects, so I will let you know if we survive or not. Okay, a little recap on some of the things we did this last week. *I went on a really fun field trip with Ashtyn and her preschool. We went to Brookside Nature Center to see the Maple tree farm they have. I have to tell you, it was one of my favorite field trips I have ever been on. We got to see the sap from the Maple trees come out and into the buckets and we got to taste the real maple syrup. It was so yummy. It's going to be hard to go back to the fake stuff... We learned all about photosynthesis and it even stopped rainin...

Club Feet

Image
Brynley was born with club feet. She had to have casts on both legs up to her thighs for eight weeks. She had new casts put on every week and a half to two weeks. During this time she had surgery on her tendons so they will grow longer. She finally graduated to braces that she had to wear night and day for six weeks. Now, she is out of her braces during the day and just wears them at night until she is four or five years. Phew! It's been a long process, but we are just grateful that this is the only problem she has had to deal with. So, here are some pictures of her casts and braces, thought you might enjoy! First Casts Blessing day! Braces!

Baby Girl Number 4

Image
Yes, this is our fourth girl! I know, the profile isn't great, but I guess that's just about what you can get when you're still in the womb (: . I had to ask again to make sure she was really a girl, and yes she definitely is. Wednesday was my second ultrasound. The doctor wanted to make sure that she wasn't too big, considering that each of my girls have been a pound bigger (Tera 7 pounds 2 ounces, Shay 8 pounds 3 ounces, and Ashtyn 9 pounds 2 ounces). I didn't know this but I guess Ashtyn got her shoulder stuck coming out. That can be quite dangerous and could cause brain damage. I was a little nervous to find out how much this one would weigh, because the bigger the baby, the more likely there would be another shoulder caught in the birth canal. Well, it turns out right now that she weighs (or so they say) about 7 pounds 13 ounces. Which isn't too small considering I have two more weeks to go, but isn't enough for a c-section. I am quite relieved since I ...
