Full Of Crap

I tried to come up with a clever title for this post, but I've got nothing. I'm actually writing from my hospital room, that's right...hospital!! The good news is it's not for my family. I actually had emergency surgery yesterday.

It all started on Monday night when my tummy began hurting while Eric and I were watching a movie. Thinking it was just gas, I went on to bed. By midnight I was was in dire pain and throwing up every few minutes. I actually thought it was a nasty stomach bug until about 3 am when I had to CRAWL into the bedroom to get Eric. Unable to walk and puking my guts out Eric and I decided to head to the ER, sleeping baby and all!

After some tests and a CT scan they determined that I a bowel obstruction and would need immediate surgery. I won't go into details because it's gross. But long story short..it hurt. Labor has nothing on a bowel obstruction. It was excruciatingly painful.

I'm doing better now and hoping to go home tomorrow. But while here I've been blessed to have my husband by my side around the clock and tending to my every need. My dad drove almost three hours (on his birthday) with a broken pelvis so he could help with Eli. We've had the prayers and support of a wonderful church family, and countless visits from friends and co-works. Thank you all!!

Please continue to pray for a speedy recovery so that I can get home to my sweet boy!!

PS: The title just came to me. Thanks to the bowel obstruction, I am FULL OF CRAP...literally. Haha!!

A New Decade

Happy 2020, everyone!  I know I'm a month and a half behind, but ya'll, January was brutal!  Not brutal in a tragic kind of way but in a "life will wear you out" kind of way. It started off with the flu...times three!  Eric, Ellie and I had Flu B and missed the first week back to school and work.  Then Eli was diagnosed with Flu A two weeks later.  Thankfully, my in-laws stepped in to help so that we didn't have to miss any more time at work. On top of the sickness, we listed our house for sale. The work it takes getting ready for market is just crazy. But we also have people coming in and out of our home at all hours and it's just kinda overwhelming. Plus, we are finalizing everything with the builder. In full transparency, working with the builder has been the easiest part! Maybe I'll do a little update on the whole building process later this week.  Now that the dust has settled on 2020, I'm going to try my very hardest to keep this litt...

Running Through The Sprinkler

Playing in the sprinkler was on our summer bucket list.  To me it seems weird just checking if off and moving on to the next activity because when I was younger, we ran through a sprinkler pretty much every day.  Putting it under the trampoline and letting it keep all the "jumpers" cool, was a favorite pastime. I cringe now. What the heck were we doing with eight kids on a net-free trampoline anyway? Ha! Back to the present…Eric treated the pool yesterday, so we couldn't swim which made it the perfect night to drag out the water hose and sprinkler.   Neither child loved it at first, so we turned down the pressure.  They slowly but surely warmed up to it.  Bless her little heart, Ellie stood right in the middle and took a direct hit.  She would make the worst face you've ever seen then cry ridiculsouly if you tried to move her.  Eli ran straight though the middle with his eyes closed.  Thank goodness our y...

Sunday Funday

Ellie redeemed herself last night by sleeping EIGHT STRAIGHT HOURS!!  Ya'll, we are so blessed to have a good sleeper, and Eli is doing great too!  There are no word to express our gratitude. I try to get pictures on Sundays before church because it's pretty much the only day that we all look presentable, at least at the same time.  Some days I still have on work clothes and look ok, but the kids are in sweats from daycare, or they're looking super cute and I'm in gym clothes.  Please tell me you understand this! At church today, a friend's son gave Eli two brand new pair of baseball pants.  Brett plays ball for a local high school, and Eli thinks he hung the moon.  You can imagine how excited he was to sport his new pants.  As soon as we got home, Eli had change into them and a baseball shirt...love his heart! Eric let me take a little nap, and when I woke up we decided to let Eli swim in the kiddie pool since it's about a ba...
