Wow!

Things change quickly, I was told that I would not be able to walk at the Graduation this year and would have to wait til the Ceremonies in 2012. I have now recieved everything needed to walk this year and have it cleared to do so. So I will not have to "come back" to walk in the ceremonies. YAY!!!

Brodie has started asking questions that I am not sure how to answer and talking about things that I never knew he understood. I am way to young to be trying to come up with the answers, I know that I do not have the knowledge or and experience to answer them either. I still love trying though, it makes it so I have to learn as he does. And as a rule I try to live my life by learning something new everyday, weather it be doing the same old thing a new way or trying something completely new.

Another thing that I don't think that I am ready for is Hailey being such a little Miss Independant, she tries to do so much on her own and if you try to help her she will stop until you let her do it all on her own. I know she is far to much like me for it to be a good thing.

You can't keep me down for long...

We have had quite the year, I just noticed that it has been that long since my last post, Hailey has made amazing strides in her health and Brodie is growing like a weed. He turns 4 in two weeks, it is hard to believe that it has been that long since I held that little bundle for the first time. Mike and I are getting ready to share our 5th anniversary as well as celebrate our sons 4th birthday. I hope this year goes smoother than the last but am ready for anything. I am still in school and doing well, my graduation date is now set for August due to me not doing as well as I wanted in a couple of my classes. I will not be able to participate in graduation though as they only hold it once a year and that happens in May. So I will be walking in May of 2012.

Wow, been awhile!

Okay my newest addition was born by C-section on December 3, 2009. She is now 3 months old and doing better. Her first Christmas was an eventful one, she started it out with her Nanna and Grandpa Falkner. Grandpa Falkner got her a brand new Christmas dress(pictures on my page) then it was off to see the extended family...ie Great Grandparents and such. After all that she visited her Papa and Grandma Kelley. When then called it a day or so we thought, we arrived home about 3:30 or 4 that evening and by 8 or so found that something was wrong my my baby. She was then bundled up the best we could, he poor little shoulder made her scream in pain, and taken into Davis Hospital and Medical Center. After a really rough 4-6 hours there and many x-rays and tests later they told us that there was nothing they could do and that they were transporting her by ambulance to Primary Childrens Medical Center. Hailey and I arrived in the ambulance around 2:30am, and were taken into the Emergency area. After more testing and x-rays they told Mike and I that they were going to keep her at the hospital for a few days. Mind you that this all started Thursday night and now it was Friday morning, neither Mike or I had slept since about 1 am Thursday morning. So at about 7 am Friday, My 3 week old was admitted to the Infant Surgical Intensive Care area of the hospital. The following Monday we were finally able to hold her without wires and take her home, but the doctors were unable to explain why she was sick or if it could come back.
She has had moments of pain since then but nothing as bad as that. Her totals for this whole event are 30+ X-rays, 1 MRI, 1 Spinal/Lumbar punch, 3 Different IV ports, 6 different Antibiotic push drugs, 6+ blood draws for testing(we were so tired that we don't know if there were more than that, we both passed out) and not being held for more than feeding for 4 days.
I have never stopped classes, even when I was recovering from the C-section, but now have returned to the campus for them instead of going to on-line courses.
Mike is still working just as hard as ever, and loves making his beautiful daughter smile.
Brodie is gearing up for his birthday, he turns 3 in about a month, and has an attitude to match his age. Hailey is no longer my baby but his, he calls her his baby, I am glad they get along so well but am still stressed have to children so young and so close together.
All and all we are all happy and healthy.

December 3, 2009 is coming fast...

Okay since the last time I was on here I have started school and passed 2 of 2 classes and am now starting 2 more. They are due to end the same day as I am scheduled to go in for my C-Section. As of now unless I go into labor *Crosses fingers* before I will have my little girl on Thursday December 3rd around 730am. I think that it is great the now a days they can say almost to the minute when you will have your child, no more guessing and hoping. Brodie is excited for the new addition, I hope that it stays that way. Mike is nervous and jumpy but in a good mood, I think more for the fact that I wont be stressed about school and bug and be pregnant at the same time anymore than for the new arrival. I honestly don't think that it being so close has hit him as of yet.

Life

Well I am going back to school and start on the 14th, it is going to be trying leaving Brodie again and leaving a newborn....yikes. But Mike has put his faith in me and I won't let him down, not only I am doing it for him but I am doing it for my kids. One day I can tell them that it is okay to not be the smartest in the class you can still be whatever your heart desires, as long as you try. By the time I am getting ready to graduate Brodie will be getting ready to start school.
Look at what I have done in 8 years, EMT-B and Security Guard then meeting and marring the man of my dreams. Then there was the hardships life always has in store but we fought through them to have a house of our own and a son that we both love so much. Then finding out that a girl that is not supposed to be able to have children is having a daughter, and now going back to school to give them all a better life. Wow, if I had to do it all over again I think even though there has been bad I wouldn't change a thing.
I hope that my family can look at me at more than just a little girl and now take me for what I am trying to be...firstly a loving wife and mother, second a woman that no matter how rocky the road can still make her dreams come true.

And it has been floating around that....

Yes we have picked a name! She is due on December 3, 2009 but the doctor has also said with medical history and such he is debating on taking her early if she is ready. So we shall see...

PHLEBOTOMIST

Starting as soon as I can after January when they doctor releases me from his care, Mike has decided that it would be best for me to try something different. I agree! So instead of just finding a job and hoping I can stick with it long enough to go back to school, I will be returning to school to become a vampire....lol. Ever since we (mom, dad, and I) did that Citizens Academy with the Davis County Sheriffs Office and they said I did an "extremely professional and efficient job with hitting a vein on my first try", dad has been trying to convince me that is what I should look into. So now that all other avenues have been taken due to construction, I have decided after much reading on the subject that this is what I wish to do with my time. Wish me luck!
