So it's really early, like only five weeks, but we are expecting our third child! We just found out this last week. We are excited and scared. We just know that everything happens for a reason, when it happens. So we will trust in whatever force has decided that now is the right time!

Lazy

I am sure that my lack of posts is just laziness. I don't have anything to say. I am too lazy to but my thoughts down.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUNNY!!

A New Year

2009-01-01T19:47:00.002-05:00

Happy New year to all (Chuck and Joe the only two that I think read my site!) hope every one had wonderful holidays! I have kinda made a deal with myself that I am going to stop feeling sorry for what I don't have. I really have a lot! My family, a job (hopefully a new one here in about a month), great friends. What else is there besides more money and we all will always need more money so I have decided to love and enjoy what I have. What I also have right now is ANOTHER awful cold/flu head so stuffed up it hurts to blink thing. I am so SICK of being SICK! I am hoping with the new job (if I get it) being a day job, will help me with controlling my diabetes better which in turn hopefully helps decrease all these colds/flus that I am getting. It has seriously been running since a month before thanksgiving 2 weeks sick 1 week better then 2 weeks sick again. I am just so done with it! Oh well one day at a time. Abby is growing up soooo fast these days. She still isnt talking much (we know she can she just talks in secret when she thinks we are not listening ) but she will in her own time. Kaylee is so smart I can not believe she is 10 already. It seems like yesteray we were all sitting around at Denny's drinking coffee and having great times. I miss those days sometimes. I miss the friendships and conversations late into the morning. Well thats my soap box for the day!

Holiday after the holiday's

2008-12-27T12:52:00.003-05:00

Oh my goodness this year is flying by so slowly lol. So much family so little time. Its been fun but I am ready to try to get me and my family back on our schedule! I am hoping to seriously make a career change. I will post more if things progress in the way I want them. Of course here are some photos!

Of course if you want to see more pictures you will have to visit my myspace page!

Wishing all my family and friends near and far a very
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

2008-12-16T19:31:00.003-05:00

You know what sucks about Christmas with a 10 year old and 1-1/2 year old???????? Not know what to get them. My 10 year old loves to read and play her DS ok so we got some books and games. But I really really want to surprise my 10 year old with something "fun" I just don't know what to get her. I was thinking a camera or video recorder you know the cheaper kid ones. I just want to get her something "special" This year she "knows" Santa isn't real so we lost that fun with her. The 1-1/2 year old really doesn't grasp the idea of Christmas so no fun there. And what do you really buy a 1-1/2 year old. She has he baby toys but she isn't quite to the "big kid" toys the 3 years and up so that leaves what? She so far has a pretend kitchen toy, figured she could grow into it. Oh and clothes cause she wont know or remember the difference right? Anyway hope everyone's holiday season is going well!

Photo posts just seem so much easier! Abby wasn't sure what to do with the snow so she just stood and stared! Thanksgiving came and went without much incident. Me, chuck and my mother all came down with this horribly awful stomach bug. But it came and went in 48 hours. We got some really good deals on Black Friday and cyber monday . Kaylee is getting lots of books and games for her DS and Wii. Abby is getting little kid toys of course. Hung out with some awesome friends for my birthday. Thank you for the birthday wishes. Christmas is coming up way to fast so we should all hang on to our hats and not blink or we are going to miss it! I cant believe how fast this year is flying by!

So today was Abby's first Santa encounter! I think the pictures speak for themselves.

Time

2008-11-22T21:45:00.002-05:00

Time seems to just fly by. I never have much to talk about. Not that anyone but a select few of my friends even check this page. Even on myspace I don't seem to post much. Maybe I just don't know how to write what I want down. I know that I am really bummed out a lot. I really wish financially things were different. I am excited that Chuck is starting school but it's still not a second income. But we have always gotten by. We have gotten through worse. Kaylee asked me this year if Santa was really really real. Now I normally just said that it's what she believes in. Well this year she asked me to not lie to her so I told her no but the idea of Santa is there, the giving and caring. But she also knows that this year is not going to be extravagant. Thankfully Abby is still young enough to not know the difference between receiving clothes or toys. She'll be getting clothes mostly. I have been trying to sell off some stuff on craigslist but have had no luck with that. I was hoping to get a little extra christmas money. Oh well eventually it will be sold or donated. Those are the top things on my mind right now there is soooo much more just floating around in there, maybe I will start to put pieces of it down.

Me a professional?

2008-08-23T12:33:00.001-04:00

Your result for The Supervillain Archetype Test...

The Professional

Cool, Levelheaded, Lethal

The Professional is the most dangerous of all villains. You do what you do better than anyone, because, as a Professional, you have standards.

The Professional is like the Crook in that they both desire money. But the Professional wants more than that. The Professional wants job satisfaction. It isn't sadism really, he just wants to be sure that the job is done, and done well. No hard feelings, it's just business. Professionals prefer to work alone, but will work in groups if given incentive.

The greatest weakness of a Professional is risk. A Professional is business-like, but can't resist a challenge. They often use the word "worthy opponent". People like that are easily baited. And if a Professional is eventually cornered (not easy to do), they might lose it.

Sample Professionals: Deathstroke, Bullseye, Revanche

Did you ever think that right now in your life is where you would be? Did you ever imagine when you were 16 that by 26 you would have 2-3 kids, a house, and all the responsibilities that come with life hitting you square in the face each morning you wake up? Those little things like gas, food, coughs and runny noses would be daily concerns? Do you sit back and wonder if this is where you were supposed to be? Did we really have control on getting here? Are we happy enough with here that we don’t step outside our little enclosed lives to see what else is out there? I came to a realization at work the other day. I love being a nurse, but I have settled. Settled into a position that I don’t really enjoy; I love the patients but I want to feel that what I am “doing” means something. I want to push my mental capabilities, I want be able to use the knowledge I have to help people. I would love, just love to be a flight nurse. But I think I could settle for the ER or ICU. My small little hospital doesn’t offer much for choices, but unfortunately there is nothing I can do about that now. But I truly think I am ready to leave my comfortable little bubble and push myself into something a little more challenging. Maybe I am just a person that has to change something, anything every so often. I know that I have a cardiac rhythm book in the room and I think I am going to buckle down and study up, possibly get my ACLS certification and hopefully make a career move soon!

Makes me think of you.........

Bubbly lyrics By: Colbie Caillat

I've been awake for a while now
You got me feeling like a child now
'Cause every time I see your bubbly face
I get the tinglies in a silly place

It starts in my toes
And I crinkle my nose
Wherever it goes
I always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Wherever you go

The rain is falling on my window pane
But we are hiding in a safer place
Under covers staying dry and warm
You give me feelings that I adore

It starts in my toes
Make me crinkle my nose
Wherever it goes
I always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Wherever you go

What am I going to say
When you make me feel this way
I just mmmmm

And it starts in my toes
Makes me crinkle my nose
Wherever it goes
I always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Wherever you go

I've been asleep for a while now
You tuck me in just like a child now
'Cause every time you hold me in your arms
I'm comfortable enough to feel your warmth

And it starts in my soul
And I lose all control
When you kiss my nose
The feeling shows
'cause you make me smile baby
Just take your time now
Holdin' me tight

Wherever wherever wherever you go
Wherever wherever wherever you go

wherever you go
I always know
'Cause you make me smile
Even just for a while

So I realize that I am really bad at posting but really nothing has been going on. I miss talking with all my friends, but really I feel like I am losing touch with them, if I post or not. I am finally over a super bug that lasted from Christmas till about 5 days ago. Chuck has been sick off and on, same with the girls. Abby is currently the sick one she has a fever and a cough. I just hope that we all stop passing it around soon. Work has been okay I like my job, but the hospital that I work at is supposedly in the red so they have been working use at bare minimum and talking about laying off our aides. I have been thinking about switching jobs, currently trying to get into home care, but the position is more of a Charge nurse position, whatever that means. A friend of mine went to work there and he told me about the position. It is a M-F 9-5 kinda thing, no weekends or holidays. Pays better with better benefits. So I don't really see a down fall to it. Even though I get 4 days off a week I am so tired that most of it is to catch up to having energy. So a 9-5 I would be here when Kaylee leaves and get home a little after her. Hopefully it will work out, just not sure if I will miss the bedside care.
Abby is doing better with her weight. Last time she was weighed two weeks ago she was almost 13 pounds! She is such a little princess too. She knows what she wants and she will let you know if your doing something she doesn't want! Kaylee is doing really good in school. Her teachers say that she is doing really really good academically. She is such a great kid and a great big sister. See not much to really post about but that is a little update on what had been going on!

A new year again?

2008-01-02T00:29:00.000-05:00

This last year has brought so many changes, so many emotions, and a few things that stayed the same and will never change. Lately I have had a hard time thinking about life. Things that we want, things that I want. I miss living down state; I miss our friends a lot. Some times I feel so disconnected up here. On the other hand there are many pluses. We are not as stressed as we were down there. We have a house, which I don’t like too much, but hopefully we can start making the changes we want to it. I definitely wish there were more stores than Wal-Mart close by. I live in a town that doesn’t even have its own grocery store. And Wal-Mart is 20 minutes away. But it does cut down on the spending issues. I really wish that we had stayed closer with many of our friends. I recently got back in touch with a long time best friend whom the last time I talked with her was at my wedding. They just celebrated the birth of there daughter 11-1-07. I am so happy for our friends Rob and Jamie who welcomed their daughter recently as well. I just wish we lived closer so that we could stop by and visit. Up here the only visitors that we regularly see is my husbands parents and I don’t know how much more I can take with them living two doors down. What the hell was I thinking? I wish we could sell this house and move to a house with more property like we wanted. I think I really need to win the lottery. That would help solve many problems. But I have never been that lucky. Then I begin to think that I am just selfish. I shouldn’t want so much. I should be thankful to just have a house of our own, a good job, a loving family, (ooh and the Wii my daughter got for x-mas!) We have been having a lot of fun playing games together. New Years Eve we spent almost 5 hours playing Mario Party 8. A little too long but still a lot of fun. My oldest had a hoot drinking non-alcoholic wine; she liked how it bubbled in her tummy. I hope you all had a good holiday season!

So I pulled my groin muscle….

2007-11-26T22:27:00.000-05:00

Well I guess I am not posting as much as I would like, the days just seem to fly by. I cant believe that it is my birthday today, I received so much love and the greatest gifts. THANKS EVERYONE! I had a pretty good Thanksgiving, a lot of good food. It seems that in the last month or so I have forgotten to update about Abby. Things went pretty well, the echo showed that her heart was perfectly normal, thank god! But the doctor, "M" sent her to Hurley, we were there for three days (two) nights, they ran more test, everything came back normal. Wonderful! But why wont she can weight? So they increased her calories so when we mix the formula instead of 8 scoops to 16 ounces we mix 9. So a week and a half later she was at 10lbs5ounces from her 9 pounds 6ounces at the hospital. Yeah, a whole pound almost. And she feels like she is gaining more. But in the pictures you cant really tell. She is fuller in the face, and her legs and arms are more bulky. We don't feel like we will break her when we pick her up.

This is pre-increased calorie

This is two weeks after the increased calories
Yeah I dont really see a lot of difference but to pick her up you can tell she has gained weight. The new pediatrician that we are seeing started her on Zantac. It is working great! No more endless screaming, she is happy to be in her bouncer or swing. And we got on of those bumbo's (THANKS MOM!). I hope that everyones holiday season started off well and continues to be well!

2007-10-28T22:20:00.000-04:00

What a weekend...

Well Friday morning we took our dear tiny Abigail to the family doctor that the rest of us see, we will call her "M". We are very concerned that she just doesn't seem healthy, she seems so frail and tiny. We don't want anything to be wrong, but we just feel something is not right. After two previous doctors looked at her and said "It's just colic, she will gain weight". Well we took her to "M" anyway. Well little miss Abby weighed 9lbs7.7oz at birth, she currently weighs 9lbs10oz. so "M" looks her over real good, she is worried about the dusky look around Abby's mouth, says her heart is beating a little to fast for her age, her head control and tracking is a little delayed. Finally someone who sees what we see without us telling "M" what to look for. She gave us just what we wanted, a referral to a different pediatrician and an 830 am consult with a pediatric cardiologist Monday morning. He is going to do an echo just to make sure her heart is okay. The nice thing is we were told that we wont have to wait for the results of the test he tells you right there what he sees and if everything is good. I have to imagine that is a huge relief to not have to wait. So that is were we are heading Monday morning, Kaylee is staying down at the grandparents and we are leaving at 545 in the morning. "M" sent us for some blood work Friday morning a TSH, Blood sugar, and a CBC. Then I guess she called doctor "O" ( the pediatrician) and told him about the referral and the labs. So at 4pm Friday afternoon, "M"'s office calls and tells us that he is very concerned about her weight and that he wants us to take her to WB ER and then probably be transferred to Covenant, and that they will call the ER and let them know why we are coming. Well we do our part and drive Abby into WB ER, but they have no clue why we are there well 4 hours later and the stupid ER unable to track down any doctor that might have a clue what is going on, we come back home. So frustrating... anyways I guess its a good thing because on saturday we did the community Trunk or Treat. We decorated our trunk ( well hubby did)
;
What a lot of fun Kaylee had. Hubby and her dressed up to match!
There was free chili and hot chocolate, and a small bonfire. Kaylee came home with a nice batch of candy and a coupon for a free kids meal at the new restaurant here in town. So today we went there for dinner tonight and it was really good food. I would compare it to Max and Erma's downstate, but right here in our little town of St. Helen.

So we are a little anxious about tomorrow but we are pretty sure that everything will be fine, we just want to find out if there is anything wrong and why she isn't gaining weight. I will hopefully be able to come home and say that her heart is just fine, now lets move on to the next possible cause and rule that out!

Hmm should I come back?

2007-10-09T22:37:00.000-04:00

No on really reads on here anymore, and I guess it doesn't help that I haven't posted in forever and my last post said that I would be using my space. But a good friend of mine who also uses my space has decided to use blogger so I thought maybe I would come back. My baby monkey butt is getting so big! She is almost 2-1/2months old, she is about 12lbs and she is 24 inches long! It has been such an interesting experience having another child. Okay well this is going to be very short and sweet just putting a feel for anyone who might still stop by!

2007-06-13T22:00:00.000-04:00

Ok so its not that I haven't posted in a long time but yes yes it is but i update on my space now. I don't like it better I just have and easier time keeping in touch with more people that way.

I have never had a post this long!

2007-04-30T23:12:00.001-04:00

Ok so I haven’t posted anything worth reading in awhile and I am sure this is not going to be much different. I did finally take pictures for all my long distance friends which is everyone. I missed week 23 so this is week 24. I have been really busy at work, like an “I really don’t ever want to go back and go through that again”. I guess I feel worse for the patients since when we are that busy they don’t get great care. You end up prioritizing, like first which patient do you see first, then depending on how each patient is doing who really needs all your time. I had a really bad night out of the six ruff nights. I had a patient that had had a simple laparoscopic procedure to remove adhesions on Friday night. These patients are supposed to go home within one hour after their procedure. The doctor decided to let her stay for increased pain. Well through that first night it was typical first night post op issues. By Saturday she wasn’t getting much better through the day, Saturday night, my shift, I almost lost her. Now this was two Saturday’s ago and I still feel horrible although I know that I did everything with in my power to make sure she made it. I was honestly on the phone with the doctors every hour. At 3 am I finally convinced the doctor to order a CT scan, only to find out at our 80 bed hospital that our CT is down the parts won’t be in till Monday. So I tell the doctors this and they say to monitor her (what the hell had I been doing all night, not monitoring her?) At about 5 am I was on the phone with the doctors and saying “No you need to get in here NOW and take her back to surgery”. Well she ended up having a perforated bowel, I knew that this was probably the case my midnight shift coordinator knew that this was probably the case, its just trying to convince the doctors that this was the case. Now there really was a lot more going on, little details and such that I wont go into all with this story but to give you an idea of how bad this really was after her second emergency surgery to fix her perforated bowel (which sorry I will go back for all that really don’t know what that is, perforated bowel can happen many ways i.e. from a colonoscopy, laparoscopic procedures, sticking things up your butt that don’t belong there. Get the picture? When it happens on its own it is usually a rupture, so in this case, laparoscopic, it is a perforation.) She ended up septic since her bowels had all Friday night and Saturday to leak out into her gut. She ended up with a hug incision down her abdomen, with a wound vac (a really cool machine that is a sponge in the wound hooked up with a tube to suction and it sucks all the excess fluid you don’t want in there out, in this case all the infected body fluids in her gut). A NG tube sucking all the stuff out of her stomach and gut to let her bowels rest. A central line which she was getting her TPN (nutrition) through. She ended up on a ventilator, sedated and paralyzed for about a week. I feel like shit, she is young, this shouldn’t have happened. I keep rethinking what could I have done different? And honestly with out the doctors picking up their part, nothing, there is nothing else I could have done. I still feel like crap. Her husband actually came over to the day nurses and thanked them for all we had all done. I don’t know what we did we did. I haven’t been this down in a long time, I know that eventually I will get over it but for now I feel like crap and its not a self pity its really a how can I handle this if it happens in the future to another patient and I cant think of anything. This leads me to the thinking that nothing is really in our control. I still really worry that something is going to go wrong with this pregnancy; I can’t get it out of my head. I don’t like to think that way but just knowing the odds. But then I think that if it is meant to be it is meant to be. Things are going wonderfully. On the 16^th on May I go for another ultrasound. I get really anxious about these things, I mean if something is wrong at this point the ultrasound will show it. But things feel right, she is kicking up a storm Chuck and Kaylee got to feel it and you can see my stomach jump! It is amazing, I am still trying to cope with o the fact that we have another little life coming into this world, please God don’t let us f*** this up. We are really happy that we moved somewhere Kaylee fits in. She likes the kids up here, she actually has friends that come over and she goes over there. She is on the little league softball team. Today was her first practice; she actually hit the ball 4 times! She had never even swung a bat before. She just needs to learn team work and that she can let someone else get the ball especially if the ball is in left field and she is in right! She will have two practices a week Mondays and Wednesdays from 4:30 till 6pm. This weekend we will be going to Dunham’s to get her gear. Cleats, pants, helmet, bat. I will take pictures on my little ball player with her softball team shirt when she gets all decked out with all her gear! There was this one girl on the team, we will call her K. K is this 8 year old that kicks a** at this game. She hit almost every pitch she can throw the ball from the catchers position to center field. I told Kaylee to pay attention to her, she could learn a lot. We have high hopes for our daughter meaning that we know she can do it if she wants to but if her hearts not in it then she wont. I just hope she keeps “really really liking it”. Ok the bathroom. This project was not really supposed to take this long in my head! I really didn’t have any idea how long it would take but I didn’t think it would take this long. Its no ones fault, well ok it is the guy who originally build this house since he built it so stupid. But it is starting to take shape and by tomorrow at 4pm I will be able to take a shower in my own house with no plastic on the walls and be able to see my pretty new liner with the awesome window that is in. I can’t wait till it’s done because next we build the babies room! I can’t wait! Oh and for all that know me like really know me you know that I never ever plan more that a few months ahead well I am working on planning a road trip with Chuck Kaylee and Abigail out to AZ next summer. I will be getting a weeks worth of vacation to use and with the help of some cleaver request off days to make it that I work a mon, teu, wend, then request off thur, fri, sat, and sun. Take my weeks worth of vacation mon, teu, wend, thur, fri, sat, sun, request off mon, teus, wed, and thur and work fri, sat, sun. That would be a sweet vacation. That would be 15 days! It is really nice only working 3 days a week and if I request off the days early enough I shouldn’t have a problem getting it done that way. I guess the big deal about that would be gas prices and getting someone who knows what to do with our ferrets to watch them, with some compensation and a play pen so that when they are let out of their cage in their house it wouldn’t be all over the place but in a controlled area. But I really want to get out that way before too long. Thinking more currently this summer seems to be pretty exciting my parents are supposed to come up and we are supposed to go camping and canoeing and just enjoy nature and then we are supposed to go over by Petoskey with Chucks parents to “camp” well there is a casino over there so they would probably spend a lot of time there while we did fishing and stuff. I am so excited that since we have moved up here and even with having all this financial stuff going on we can still afford to do things. When we living down state, we didn’t really get to do anything, especially not plan a vacation (that if doesn’t happen summer 2008 will happen 2009). Well that is a lot longer of a post than I expected so I am stopping now. Ok now.

hmmm

Not really feeling in the mood to type but I guess I should update! Nothing much is going on, our bathroom is finally starting to take shape we still have a lot of work to do on it and then we need to build the babies room. I cant believe I will be 6 months next Tuesday. I am getting so geeked but anxious it seems time is flying by and I am afraid that there will not be enough time to get the bathroom done and then the babies room. Although logically I know there is plenty of time. I know I have to take pictures tonight for my 23 weeks but I really don't feel like it so you will all just have to deal. Not that pictures of my belly are the highlight and all. Maybe I will take some this weekend when I will have a working shower and I can feel all refreshed without having to go to my in laws to take a shower. We have decided on a name her name will be Abigail Nicole Brace! It all seeming so real now. I know it was always real but I just cant stop thinking that oh my gosh in a few more months we will have another child, how is this all going to play out? Ugh sometimes I worry others I am just completely happy. Kaylee is growing up so fast she is just an amazing kid she really is. I am so proud of her she is her own little person and is finally showing to me that she is responsible and can make good decisions. I think I have decided that I like living up here but I really miss all our friends downstate. I dunno I mean its great up here with Chuck and Kaylee but I think we need some variety not of the in law kind! I mean I love that they are here and we get to see them and i know Chuck is just as excited when we visit with my parents but, just some other people our age that don't just want to argue about the government. Well I think I will do a short post went I finally take some pictures and post them. I did post new ones of Kaylee, we have been having great weather up here so she has been outside a lot.
