Rollercoaster

2007-02-20T20:50:00.000-08:00

Well, everything went well with the D&C. It sure brought on a roller coaster of emotions. I have no idea how anyone can have an abortion and purposely kill a child at any stage or in any form of development.
Although I knew there was no fetus, the emotions and the changes hormonally were worse than after giving birth or even the 9 months of pregnancy; and anyone who has been pregnant or dealt with a pregnant woman knows what I mean.
With the D&C I had fear, guilt, sadness, shock, comfort, relief, stress, wonder, grief and sorrow, pain both physical and emotional all rolled into a few hours then days and then I had to be on my way with life as normal.
I hope that should anyone have to go through this challenging trial, that you are blessed with great support of a spouse and family as I am. Thank you everyone for the support and love.

NO Baby

2007-02-07T15:50:00.000-08:00

Well we went to the OB today and were extremely disappointed to find out that I have a blighted ovum, no fetus. It's quite an emotional roller coaster, but i'm sure I'll make it throught because I have a wonderful husband and great family. Guess we'll have to try again someday.

KISS THE COOK

2007-01-31T17:52:00.000-08:00

Tonight was fun!!!
The kids are here for several hours once a week, and usually Wednesdays. Spencer made brownies from scratch and they were SOOOOOOO yummy!!! We definately need him to double the batch next time. I think I'll have him cook more often since he's so good.
Hey I have a GREAT idea, Spencer cooks and Megan does dishes, mom eats the food. LOL Yeah, I'm a dreamer. ;)

Nikken Total Wellness Consultants

2007-01-29T19:32:00.000-08:00

This week has been great!! We have found a total wellness system of wellness technology that has started to change our lives. Coltyn has suffered from reflux for months, and I have suffered for years. I have also suffered from depression which is magnified during pregnancy for me.

We discovered NIKKEN wellness technologies and started on the PiMag water system, which purifies the water, then re-applies the essential minerals with mineral rocks, then magnetizes the water when you pour it into your container for consumption. This allows your body to more readily absorb the water. It has made a huge difference for us all. We also started on the basic supplements and they are increasing our energy. They are designed to be whole food and are amazing, one thing I love is that they could sustain life on just the PiMag water and one supplement (Jade Greenzymes) IF needed because of the complete nutrition.

Coltyn and I no longer take medication and suffer from reflux since starting the water. My skin has improved and no longer looks like a white lizard on my legs, that lotion never could cure. Geary actually drinks water now, and is not relying on juices, pops or other flavored and sugary drinks, which has increased his energy level (and I think helps him sleep better). I am having a lot more energy than I usually have at this stage of pregnancy, which is very nice; and I feel emotionally stable the BONUS- if I start to get nausea I just drink some water and it goes away.

Geary and I commented today how we both have stopped craving sugary foods and salty foods also. I was a chocoholic, and craved it daily, now they just don't sound good. If I do crave a sugar food, I'm able to simply not give into the craving as it is short in duration. THAT is a miracle for me. LOL!

We are working on getting the Total Wellness Home so that we can invest in our health and take a pro-active control of our health, not manage our illness when it comes (and now IF).

If anyone want to know more let me know, I'd be glad to get information to you.

Now if only NIKKEN could help get Coltyn through more teething quickly or painlessly! LOL. guess it's not a Miracle for everything. ;) At lease it's keeping me sane through the rough spots of his growing and maturing body!

The teeth have come

2007-01-22T17:42:00.000-08:00

We are happy to say that Coltyn is celebrating his first two teeth Finaly coming in. Now he thinks he's entitled to try any and all big people food. He's not afraid to let you know it either!!! He sure is a happy fun baby.

ARTIST in the Making

2007-01-22T17:23:00.000-08:00

Megan and Spencer stayed busy this weekend being creative with "paper doll" stickers, where you create and dress the people. It was lots of fun to see there creativity come alive and the funny things they would say were going on in the pictures. Spencer is holding the "No Boys Allowed" drawing he made for Megan's room; Of course there is one for his "no girls allowed". Spencer's funniest one was putting a mohawk on a teenager he created. Megan (picture) had fun dressing up her friends and class mates. She made up a story also about a pirate trying to kill a girl but a baseball player saved her. Not sure what to think about that one? LOL Her spelling was way cute (pirate= pirit) on that story, good thing she could read it all. ;)

Jared is taking a moment out from playing ball, fighting, and playing PS2 motorcycles to love his baby brother and insistig on a picture. He really is quite cute with Coltyn. He is such a loving kid inside that tough exterior.

Megan Camille

2007-01-15T17:33:00.000-08:00

Megan is so excited. She lost her first tooth, with a little help from a LONG piece of floss and mom. She isn't gonna get the gold tooth, she can't keep her tounge out of the hole.
Tooth fairy gave her over two dollars, dang have times changed? A quarter maybe fifty cents was the going rate.

Spencer enjoyed Christmas before Christmas. They were with there dad for Christmas Day.

He is excited about the driving wheel for the PS2. He is no where near getting a license, but he does like to drive, and crash. ;)

Well this is all new to me, but I'll give it a shot. Here goes blogging.....

Coltyn Robert is now almost 6 months old (22nd). He is a good baby and is a smiley, laughing, bundle of joy. He just got his first tooth and we are hoping the second one will quit with the torment and come through soon.

Coltyn will be getting a sibling in September. Yes, that is correct, we hoping for a sister. Wink. This is the last one for us, unless we adopt.

Spencer is 9 1/2, tall and smart as they come. He's a great student and likes science. He enjoys playing "tycoon" games on the computer and driving games on the PS2. He is a great help to us with Coltyn when he's around and he is a boy who has a lot of love to share and has a big heart. He gets a little frustrated with the divorce and seperate homes, and is trying to learn to tell his feelings more. He's a work in progress as are we all.

Megan is 7 1/2 and also tall. She is my "tom girl". She loves to dress girly, make-up, nails jewelry, ect... BUT she is ruff and tumble get dirty, wrestle and frolick like a boy. If I could get her to sit like a lady in a dress or skirt we would be doing good. lol She is a great student also, and likes to read like Spencer and she is a great "mother" to her younger siblings. She is a sweet girl and is learning to deal with lifes frustrations one day at a time.

Jared is 3 1/2+ (4 in May), he is ALL BOY. He likes anything round and ball like, trucks, cars, kicking, swords and so forth. He likes to wrestle and be ruff in play. He is also quite the cuddly boy and a lover. He has issues with discipline as the two house thing is hard on kids, but he is learning. He is becoming more compliant and less defiant. We are working on getting him to be nicer to all around him. He loves his little brother and is quite cute to watch him entertain him. He will be our future football player or wrestling champ.

Geary is still working in Wyoming at the Four Seasons Resort in Teton Village. He sacrafices a lot of time to let us live close to my kids. He drives two hours each way 5 days a week. It's a good job and the money he makes couldn't be made locally, so we appreciate his efforts.

Me, well I'm looking for work again. I was laid off in Dec. I'm waiting to here from the nursing board to see if my license can be renewed. Hopefully so and that will open more doors for employment. Life is good in general and I keep stepping forward to reach our goals and leave the past as far behind as I can. Not an easy task, as it haunts on a daily basis. I was just made a visiting teacher, and I'm excited as I haven't had a calling for sooooo many years. It's nice to be involved again.
