one month

-

One month ago we welcomed Asher Kingsley into our home! Wow what a whirlwind. I know that moms all over the world go thru this but these first 4 weeks have been crazy! Just trying to get myself feeling back to normal seemed to take a while. Then i realized that i was so worried about shepherd i didn't think much about the new born. Then the day my mom leaves shepherd wakes up with 101 temp and we find out the next day he contracted the FLU! From where i do not know we hadn't gone anywhere but walmart and church so i am assuming it was in the air. Welcome to mother hood of two…had to figure out how to juggle them while one had the flu. Which of course the dr is like try to keep them apart so Asher doesn't get it. Thanks. 

Other than the flu things seem to be moving along swimmingly. It is so fun watching Shepherd so eager to hold, play and boss around Bubba. All Asher does is grunt a lot and of course eat sleep and poop. 

The blanket in photo above is kimmel's childhood blanket and the owl was what i used with shepherd to show growth (although i stopped at like 6 months). Trying to be good to the second born and stay on top of the picture thing! You know they say you take way too many with your first and none with the ones to follow! I am not gonna do that…hopefully! 

Wait tomorrow is Christmas…well merry christmas to all! :) and to me a good nights sleep!

As mentioned in the last entry of this blog i bragged about how Dad is taking care of me and just making things light and easy and fun for the wedding. Yesterday Andrew and i went and took pictures with a friend of ours. And she took us to the grapevine train station, a field, a strange house, and to the lake where he proposed. We laughed, kissed, hugged, laughed and tried to stay warm. It was so much fun! Ellie was a bit nervous cause the temperature was like in the 50's. But the sun and sky was perfect so she said if we were game she was game. So we did! Ended up with like 200 pics....she wittled them down and gave me 160 some. They are all sooo good...it was hard to pick my fave. I am so thankful for her, her talent and her willingness to do this with us! I may put a link to the folder...but not sure just how....so bear with me! :)

Valentines Day

I was curious as to where Valentines day came from and this is what i found. There are varying opinions as to the origin of Valentine's Day. Some experts state that i t originated from St. Valentine, a Roman who was martyred for refusing to give up Christianity. He died on February 14, 269 A.D., the same day that had been devoted to love lotteries. Legend also says that St. Valentine left a farewell note for the jailer's daughter, who had become his friend, and signed it "From Your Valentine". Other aspects of the story say that Saint Valentine served as a priest at the temple during the reign of Emperor Claudius. Claudius then had Valentine jailed for defying him. In 496 A.D. Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to honour St. Valentine. Gradually, February 14 became the date for exchanging love messages and St. Valentine became the patron saint of lovers. The date was marked by sending poems and simple gifts such as flowers. There was often a social gathering or a ba

week not planned

This past week was something i didn't plan or ever hope for. Last thursday during staff retreat i started cramping in the abdominal area...pretty abnormally...went to the er ...andrew left school and got there right when i was being admitted at 10ish...spent all afternoon testing prodding and found something on my ovary...it was burst and i was internally bleeding...so at 8:30 i was in the surgery room having it removed laposcopicly...is that how you spell it? ;) by midnight andrew and i were checking out, heading home. Spent the weekend recovering which was weird in itself cause no one tells you about all the quirky things that happens to your body with all those meds and stuff. The worst one was the constipation that came from it. one word people "stoolsofteners'' ( i know its not one word its a partial quote from a movie) man oh man...if you have had surgery and your surrounding family made you eat and drink things that were nasty to help you recover and you by pas
