No More Plug

Okay, well, it is still there, but not really! :O)
I have been wanting for LONG time to get rid of Skylar's plug! But every time I think about it, we were going somewhere, things were going on, just not a good time to stop it.
The other two were SUPER easy to get rid of it. When they were about 13 months, they got a bad cold where they couldn't breathe, so I just chucked them then and have been fine ever since! Well, Skylar has gotten some bad colds to where she can't breathe with the plug in, but you know what she does? She would stick it in her mouth and suck on it, then pull it out to catch a breath and keep doing that til she fell asleep with it half in and half out of her mouth!
I was reading somewhere that the mom would snip a little off the top of the plug until there was no more to suck and then the kid was done with it! Well, I tried that, but when I went to cut, someone gave over and gave a big hug on my legs and my hand slipped and I cut a little more than I wanted to! Opps...
I put Skylar to be at 7:20 last nite. At first she wasn't to happy with me, but she actually got over it and just kept saying mommy? Mommy? MOMMY!!!! But then she would get really quiet, then I would hear her playing with something, then it would get really quiet again! I put the other 2 to bed at 8:30 and had Kotah go upstairs to sleep in our bed until I KNEW Skylar was asleep! (If you put those 2 to bed at the same time, it is NOT fun!! They will stay up til 11 playing with each other!)
I then finished off some things, then went to check on her at 9:15 and she was dead asleep! I noticed at 8:50, it got REALLY quiet, but still didn't want to risk going in there, JUST IN CASE! I think she was hollering at me to tell me the nite light light bulb blew, so she was in total darkness! :O( I felt bad!
Today for nap I put her to bed at 1:00 and about 45 minutes later of talking/fussing/playing, she feel asleep! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She still has her blankie, I DO NOT DARE take that thing away! Not from any of the kids! :O) But so happy to be finally rid of that stupid plug!!!! I really didn't want her to have it over 15 months, but yeah, that didn't happen! She will be 2 Sept 12! (Atleast I got it done before she turned 2!!!! :oP)
I should also mention she still likes to HOLD it, but it doesn't go in mouth! Will try not giving it to her at all tonite! Need to think of something to do so she will be EXHAUSTED and go RIGHT to sleep! :O)

written 4-7-18 Wow! It's been a while since I"ve blogged...  Crazy fun times around here!  :) We had a BIG EVENT for our church Friday night.  It was awesome!!!  All about where we are and what we need to finance our new church building we are building!  We were to take a card and pray about a number and donate for the building fund.  It was a FANTASTIC awesome night to say the least!!! Curt and I have been praying about a number that God wants us to give.  We both feel a number, we can't afford.  haha...  We really can't afford anything because we still have 2 adoption credit card bills we are paying off.  God has blessed us and given us what we need each month.  But we want to give, and adding it up and looking at our budget and writing it all out, it's not there.  Nothing is there!  But that's the way it was with adoption!  We took that step of faith! So that was Friday...  Saturday morning went to kettle bell class and I died...  I honestly haven&#

Ultrasound

First of all, thank you ladies for all those sweet comments you made on my last post! How sweet you are for saying those things! Made my day!!! :O) Second, went for the ultrasound on Monday and everything is fine! WHOO HOO!!!!! No more placenta previa!!!! The baby weighs about 2 1/2 lbs, and everything looks good! We took the kids with us so they could see their baby brother/sister, they LOVED it!! Gavin was FULL of questions though! What's that stuff she put on mommy's belly? Why do the lights needs to be off? I only see one eye. Where's the other eye? What was that, is that his hand or leg? Oh my.... ;o) The tech ended up putting up a 4D on the screen, so that was really cool to see! The cord was kinda in the way, but I still think it was awesome! I didn't have that with any of the other kids!!! :O) Maybe the trick is taking 3 other siblings in to see the 4th!!! ;o) I also only gained a pound, which I am trying to figure out, seeings how I pretty m

Grandma

Grandma passed away this morning at 1:35 am. She had been totally un-responsive for the past couple of days. Yesterday we got a call and said she only had an hour, they said they made the mistake and grandma heard them, so she kept hanging on! Her feet had been cold and almost black, but they were starting to get warm and she was taking more breaths, but still very shallow. Finally she gave in and went home! The family seems to be doing ok, just please keep them in your prayers! The viewing will be Sunday and the funeral on Monday. I am not sure of the times yet, they are meeting with the funeral director in an hour. I am not going to be at the musical practice Monday nite, so Sandy May and Jena R are in charge that nite! I will have the lines assigned so the kids will know what their parts will be! Please help them out this week!!!! Thank you!!!! Thanks again for all of your prayers!!!!
