The worst blog post ever.

Today my poor baby pulled our wooden cabinet over on her.  The wooden cabinet had a glass door that shattered on her.  I had just gone into the kitchen when it happened, I heard it fall and ran over to her.  The cabinet was laying on top of her and all I could see were her little hands and legs sticking out on each side.  So I lifted it up, and there was broken glass everywhere,  including all over her.  And she had already started bleeding.  I picked her up and blood just started gushing down her face.  She was screaming and would not open her eyes, I thought that she probably had glass in her eyes. 

I was so panicked I sat for a minute looking at my phone, wondering who to call... I probably should have just jumped in my car, but the hospital is about an 8 min drive, and I did not want to try to strap her in her car seat, or try to hold her while driving.  I thought about calling Devin, but I was so panicked I just dialed 911.  Then I called Devin and gave him a slight description, he hung up the phone and came home.  Meanwhile the cops showed up...  I was just sitting in the entry way trying to sooth Sailyr when they got there,  She still had blood gushing. I am sure he thought I was crazy, cause right when he walked in I just said, "I don't know what to do".   The nice cop got us into the dining room and got some paper towels to apply to Sailyr's head where it was bleeding the most.  Then when the e.m.t people got there they started cleaning her face, and looking at how serious she had been cut.  Devin walked in right about now.  After a few more minutes of craziness we decided to just drive her down to the emergency room for stitches.  Don't worry, the cop cars, ambulance, and fire truck were parked in front of my house.  So all the neighbors had thought we all died or something...

Anyway we got to the hospital, and after the worst torture I think I have ever endured, watching my baby be held down and poked with lots of needles.. :(  we left with 8 stitches in 2 different places, and a lot of cream to keep on it.  And they had to cut some of her cute bangs :(

So 4 of her stitches are in her hair (that dark red bloody area), and 4 of her stitches are on the bridge of her nose.  And the rest of her face is just scratched up.  She looks like she got attacked by a lion or something.

So after thinking this through a million times,  I cant believe how panicked I got.  After I saw all that glass and all the blood I just stopped thinking clearly.  I honestly had no idea what to do while I was siting there holding her before the cops got there.  Now, I am thinking, Duh!  go to the sink, get some paper towel, apply pressure,  clean her up, go to the emergency room if needed.  But at the time... I had no clue.  I felt so trapped be home alone,  with the hospital across town, and a baby who has glass all over her face and is dripping blood. 

Anyway, we got her home, fed her some lunch, layed her down for a much needed nap.  And she woke up the same crazy woman that she has always been.  We will see what she looks like in the morning, I am expecting a little more bruising. 

So that, was a little bit of our day.
Tomorrow better be uneventful.

14 Weeks!!
To remember about this pregnancy:

• I am no where near how sick I was with Sailyr.  Although I have thrown up  alot, its a 10 minute thing instead of an all day every day thing.
• I love food.  Like LOVE food.  With Sailyr the smell, and even thought of food made me sick to my stomach.  This time my mouth waters at the thought of food. 
• I am starving all day.  I think I was probably this way with Sailyr, but worked to much to notice.  But I am so hungry, I could eat all day.
• I have the strangest dreams.  Nothing about a new baby, just random things.  But every night I feel like I dream all night long.  And when I wake up and tell Devin what my dreams were about he just laughs.  He has even got some black mail material, because a few of them were pretty crazy.  I never had dreams like this with Sailyr,  I am telling you... its crazy.
• I am 90% sure I felt the baby move tonight.  I thought I felt it a few weeks ago, but I think it was probably to early.  But tonight might have been the real deal.
• Still no name for this little one.

Anyway, today was our first ever snow day!!!  It snowed about 8 inches and so Devin's work got canceled!  We laughed because by noon everything was melting and by 6 it was all gone.  We could not believe they canceled work... but oh well! It was a fun day!

We bundled Sailyr up after lunch and took her sledding at the park across the street.  She did not like riding in the sled to much, but loved splashing in the puddles on the way home.

Then we came home and Dev played in her house (cardboard box) with her.

We have a million boxes in our garage for the move, so the other day when Sailyr was going crazy in the house we brought one in for her.  She has had fun in it.

Wow! 2 posts in one week!!

Everything is starting to come together for the move.  Things are kinda starting to pan out for the house and snow shack here in Tonopah.  We have been busy looking for a home to rent in Idaho until we are ready to buy.  And we have a few in the works that would be fine.  And I got one box packed!!!  Although it was more out of frustration than ambition.   Sailyr seriously gets out all the movies and scatters them around the living room everyday.  And every night I pick them all back up and line them on the shelf again.  Well Monday I just got out a box and packed them up.  And I would like to say that the living room has stayed clean ever since, but that would be a lie.

Also more on the pregnancy...  I know that Sailyr is only one.  We have had lots of people  express that maybe it is to soon.  I wish I could stop those people and explain to them my thoughts on this baby.  But I dont, I just smile and say "yep, its going to be crazy".   But truth is, after Sailyr turned one I was so over come with the feeling that another baby was ready to come to our family.  So after a week or so of prayerful consideration, and much discussion with Devin.  We decided it was time.  A month later I found out I was pregnant.  This was not an accident or surprise.  I know in my heart its time for this baby to be here.  We wanted our kids close together anyway.  We are in "baby mode" right now in our lifes.
 I am 4 years older than my brother (and I am not blaming my mom at all, she had no control over anything that happend)  But growing up I always felt so alone, especially in school.  So I am so excited and greatful for Sailyr to have a sibling that she will be able to be close with.  I would not have it any other way.

It will be hard,
It will be crazy.

but if I had waited another year, it still would be hard. and it still would be crazy.
So Bring it on!!!!

Now if only I could print that out and hand it to every person that doubts our discision.
Man, I think my pregnancy hormones are showing :)


On another note.....

I am starting to feel my energy coming back!  This pregnancy has been sooo different than with Sailyr.  And different in a great way.  (its because I prayed really really REALLY hard that I would not be as sick as I was the first time) .  Prayer works people.  It works.

Sailyr is getting crazier and wild-er by the hour.  A crazy 1 year old +  an energy drained pregnant mom = what?? One messy house. 

I will try and take a picture of my baby bump tonight... its definatly showing.

The (late) weekend post!!!

Sep 21 is my due date!

I am 13 weeks along.

We went in Friday and saw little one for the first time.

Sailyr clapped and laughed on cue

Her clapping and laughing was timed so perfectly,

it was actually kinda creepy.

I think she knew what was happening.

It was like this...

Dr. "There is your baby"

Sailyr: "YaaaaaaaY

Dr.: "There is only one, and you can see its heart beat here"

Sailyr: (now clapping) "Yaaaaaaay"

kinda wierd, hu?

I think she has been waiting for her little bff to get here :)

i know its been a while, but im busy being an aunt! (although he lives to far away to actually do anything) its still a big deal. check back this weekend, you wont be sorry you did. i promise.

Sunday.

Life has been so crazy.  And not just for a few weeks, I am talking like months. January - April  is usually our down time, between the holidays and summer time.  The few months when we don't have to be anywhere, or do anything.  As much as I love being busy, I love when January comes just so we can hide out at home for a while.  But not this year,  Sailyr and I went to Disney land the beginning of January.  Then for an entire month Devin had meetings for work.  And right when he got home is when we found out we are moving and it has been crazy since then.

Sooooooo.........

Today we decided to skip church and go on a little family outing.  Just the 3 (4 including the dog) of us.  And it was wonderful.

It was 60 degrees by 10:30, so we packed a lunch and headed out to some hot ponds that are about an hour away.  Sailyr loved it so much, she has been so cooped up in the house that it was so fun for her to just get out and run. 

Although I think Devin and I were the ones that did all the running.   A fearless one year old and a big warm body of water = trouble.  She would just take off into the middle of the pond, not a care in the world.  Thankfully Dev got in with her.  They also had a cement Jacuzzi like pond that was really warm, but it was about 5 feet deep.  Sailyr kept walking right on the edge of the cement, and almost slipped in a few times.  I was a nervous wreck just following her around the entire time.

But it was a fun day, and it was nice to get out in the sunshine.  The picture below looks like Sailyr was miserable, but believe me she was anything but miserable.  She is defiantly a little water baby.
