The Vampire...

Yeah, no worries, I am not much into vampires and all, but that's what I call the peeps that take your blood, and I know there another name for them, but I can't think of it at the top of my head.  I am going to blame lack of sleep and the fact that I had my blood taken that I can't remember the right name!  ;)

Anyways...

Last nite the kiddos and I went up to Manassas to celebrate Curt's birthday with him since he wasn't home.  We spent the nite at the hotel with him and then the kids and I left at 7:30 this morning to make it in time for the girls 10 am yearly check up.  I almost cancelled it, but I decided to keep it.  We got to the doc office at 9:35, walked in and actually got in and out by 10:40, that's a HUGE shock right there!  ;)  We left there and then I drove over to the vampires.  Got there right around 11:00, got the paperwork done and started at 11:10, had to pee in a cup then she did a breath test, then she took 5 tubes of blood, had to drink a wonderful sugary drink.  Ok ladies who have had a baby, you know that sugary drink you need to take, yah, it was a bit more sugary than that, and it coated my throat!  She said I needed to drink it in one sip without stopping and try not to take a breath.  Oh and drink through the straw.  I am like ok...  I drank it, lovely, had a hard time afterwards, since it was sticking to my throat I felt like I couldn't swallow or breathe, so I was telling myself to breathe slowly through my nose.  So after a few slow breathes, I was ok.  So I had to sit there for another 15 minutes so I could do another breath test.  Left there at 11:35, and ran into Giants to get the ice cream so I could make Curt's ice cream cake, which is already a day late.  :\

Got home and fed the kids some lunch, they did a little bit of the upkeep that I needed to work on  ;), then put them down for a nap.  I did some laundry and found something to eat for lunch, seeings how I hadn't eaten anything since 8 the nite before, and it was already 1...  I only had 2 glasses of water when we got home.

It's been a busy day of trying to work on my upkeep of my house...  the upstairs is almost as clean as, well, as clean as it will ever be most likely!  haha!  ;)

Tomorrow Curt is going to go get his blood taken, then he will come back home.  We are watching Audrey tomorrow as well, so once she gets here, we will leave to go to, get this, the HEALTH DEPARTMENT, (I think God has a mjor sense of humor!!!  ;)) to get our TB test done.  Then we will have our first in home home study visit.  Our orientation at the AWAA home office was considered our 1st visit.  :)

So after I wrote the last blog about the water guy, I got to looking at his card.  After he left he handed me his card, but I didn't look at it beacsue I had 3 ltitle ones trying to ask me a question about their school work they were doing.  So I just put it on the piano and left it.  I forgot about it and then like I said, after I wrote the last blog, I went to go look at his card.  It said he is from the Health Department, soooo, that would explain the "you need to work on the upkeep of your house" comment!  It still took me off guard, but oh well.  ;)

Whew...

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&#

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!!!!

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
