Rest In Peace Granny


It's been a rough couple of weeks. My Granny became ill after Thanksgiving and extremely ill the week before and week of Christmas. After the hospital moved my Granny a Hospice room on Thursday before Christmas, Brooks, Pat, Natalee and I headed to Sac City so we could spend some time with my Granny. We got there Friday and stayed until Saturday evening. We were able to talk to her in short spurts with hours of rest in between. She was going downhill physically but was very sharp mentally and so it was wonderful to have that time with her. It was hard leaving Saturday knowing we might not be there when she was ready to say her final good-bye's. We came back on Wednesday, December 23rd to see her again. She was non-responsive this time and passed after us being there about an hour. She was surrounded by loved ones when she passed and was no longer in any pain. She passed away in time to spend Christmas with my Grandpa who passed away about 24 years ago and my Uncle Tony who passed away just this year in May. It was a very hard Christmas for us - especially with weather not being the best for traveling back and forth to Sac City. The funeral was Monday and was beautiful. I love you Granny and am happy to have you as an Angel up in Heaven looking down on our family! May You rest in peace!

Baby, Baby, Baby

The girls are so excited about becoming big sisters and are always asking questions about the baby. I read that this week the baby can hear us talk so the girls have been singing to the baby and talking to the baby. We find out if the baby is a girl or boy next month and are so excited! I had a doctor's appointment on Friday and the doctor said the baby is very active and moving all over the place. I loved hearing this because to me, the more the baby moves, the more healthy I feel it is. I have felt a few little flutters so far and can't wait for the baby to get a little bigger so I can feel it moving more often - to me, that is one of the most amazing feelings! So with baby on the mind, today, the girls came downstairs to show me that they both were expecting babies - Natalee with twins and Kylee with one and then a few minutes later - their babies were born!

It's Fun to Have a Sister!

I remember taking baths with siblings when I was younger and knew that someday my girls would get to share in the joy of playing in the tub with one another too. Although Natalee is still not quite stable enough sitting on her own in the tub, we put her in her bumbo seat so the two could play in the tub together and they LOVED it!

Apparantly Kylee has been paying very close attention to Mommy. This morning I was getting my pump out and Kylee ran over, grabbed the shields and did this...she'll make a good Mommy someday.
