Blink- and it's gone!

I haven't wrote in a few days. It's been uber busy! Let me start with Wednesday....

For a few days, Savannah hasn't acted right. She has complained of her belly hurting. She also has been saying how she has had a difficult time going #2. So I was pumping her with fruits and veggies, and some powdered meds that we have for constipation. It was definitely working, but she was still saying that the belly hurt. She acted un-Savannah like when she was doing school.. I felt her forehead. Poor baby had a fever.. Fever of 104.4. YIKES. Okay, time for dr. appointment. Got her into the doctor, and checked out, and was told to get to the E.R cause the area she had pain was over the appendix. I went into this with the mind set-my kiddo is constipated. The end. I had an entire list of things to get done at home, since it was my day off. So I start freaking out, call John and tell him to get his butt to the hospital. We get her checked in, and back into her room.. Long story into a nutshell, she had a bunch of tests done, and dr ended coming into our room after 3.5 hours saying she was constipated.. Ooohhhkay then. Better safe than sorry, but I was kinda miffed that my daughter had to endure all those tests for nothing. She was actually screaming so hard when she got her bloodwork done, that the blood vessels around her eyes popped. =( I felt so bad for her. She was screaming and bawling when they were doing it, saying, "Mommy! Why did you lie to me?! You said I wouldn't have to get a shot!!!" Poor thing. I had to explain that shots, and bloodwork were two different things. Anyways, yes, my baby girl is doing much better, and we have the situation taken care of! Praise Jesus, she didn't have anything wrong with her. God is so good! <3

May 9th-
I am now 26 years old. Holy guacamole. I really feel old. I've had to say it since Thursday, and it feels so weird, and almost..foreign to say.. Anyways, it was a regular morning, and afternoon, and I had to work in the evening. Savannah and Emmett were so sweet saying Happy Birthday, and giving me hugs and kisses. It was so priceless to me. I love my kids. They are so amazing. Well, John came to the church to get the kids, and took me by the hand out to the car, and gave me my presents. I loved them. He is just so amazing. He gave me a huge water thermos type cup. It's huge! I drink so much water, it was perfect! In the cup was a bottle of my favorite wine, and 4 packets of chia seeds! He had arranged it just so, to make it look like a flower. How sweet! He also had a small rectangular package wrapped up. I unwrapped it, thinking it was another willow tree, so my willow tree angel collection.What was inside threw me for a loop. It was a  new lens for my camera!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHH! It was so exciting. He gave me beautiful card that made me bawl like a baby, and proceeded to tell me that he had called and gotten permission to help me work, so he could take me out for dinner. We went up to Erie to Aoyama. It was the perfect birthday! I love my husband. He is so good to me. He also took us to Pymatuning on Friday and we were able to go fishing for a few hours, before the storm came in.  It was so wonderful and refreshing. I love my little family, and being out on the lake, relaxing, and spending time together. We even saw a bald eagle!

I know you've probably wondered what happened over the weekend. This was totally just a last minute thing. I was talking on the phone to my parents about my Grandma- who hasn't been in good health lately. I felt God put on my heart to go up to Michigan for the weekend to surprise grandma for Mother's day. I talked to John about it, and asked his opinion. I told him it wasn't a big deal if we didn't go. He said we should go.So, I worked Saturday night, got finished, we got all packed up, and left for Michigan @ 10:30 at night. We arrived at 4 in the morning at mom and dad's house. Man, it was a long drive.. Kyrie was so fussy, and tired. So were we! lol. Anyways, to say the least it was the best Mother's day I had ever had. Mom, Dad, John and the kids and I were able to go to Grandma's and bring her dinner, and help around the house a bit, and it meant alot to her, as well as me! Anyway's, we got home this evening. So glad to be back home, and that the drive is over. BLAH! I'm so thankful though, that we were able to see and spend time with family, and even see a few old friends!


Tomorrow will be my baby's 1st birthday! I just cannot believe how quickly the past year has come, and gone.  I'm so excited to get photos of her, and the cake, and opening the presents! 
Happy Birthday, my baby Belle!
