Day 89

I'm not doing very good at taking a photo each day, I can't believe how busy we have become in our lives.

Jessika's First Grade Class presented Rise & Shine to the rest of her school, this is here and a classmate introducing her class.

Day 84

Sunday, March 4, 2012

Steven, Aspin, and I tried to sneak in an afternoon nap, after church and before small group. Jessika had a friend over, and they let me sleep maybe 20 minutes, but I enjoyed some cuddling with sweaty Aspin anyway.

Day 83

Jessika is finally well enough, or convinced me that she isn't going to get sick again, and now she gets to visit Baby Audra.

Day 78

Jessika got sick at school, so Aspin and I took advantage of Mommy getting out of work, and going to see Baby Audra!  I held her for a few seconds before Aspin was comfortable enough to hold her, then she held her for 20 minutes. I finally took the baby from Aspin, so I could hold her, which made Aspin almost cry.  All week she talked about "My baby" and looked at her picture of her holding "My baby" she is very excited too.

Day 77

What a day, starting before 5 a.m. I received a text message from my long time Bestie and her husband, Misha and Jared, her water broke!  When they married about a year and a half ago, Misha became a mom to Jared's girls, and she has done a great job, and been a God send to their lives. But now the time has come, she is actually having a baby, I never thought this day would come, I was so excited and emotional!  It was so hard to see her in pain early during delivery, but I am so proud of her, and happy to finally hold her baby girl. We didn't actually get to hold her until the next day, but a few pictures I took of her in the nursery.

Day 75

Finally made it to work on Friday, still not feeling 100%, but I needed to get off the couch. After work Steven and I celebrated a birthday for one of our friends, Mrs. Rachel. But then by morning Jessika was vomiting again. Her little body took longer to recover, she was ordered to rest and I think we finally kicked it, knock on wood, by Wednesday of the following week.

Day 73

Wednesday, February 22, 2012
The flu hit our house, starting with Jessika, and then of course I got it as well. Luckily, Aspin had a flu shot and the pediatrician, gave her the meds to prevent her from coming down with it as well. It was one rough week though, but Aspin knows how to make me laugh, she came walking in with my shoes and sunglasses on looking all silly and cute at once.
