When it rains...It pours
Life always finds its way to make things difficult sometimes!! This post is more for me to just vent about life right now and I know at the end of the day I really don't have it all that bad, but it just seems that everything piles up all at once for me and then hits me!
The other night, Claire had a fever and she was not a happy camper. Her fever lasted from about 4pm until about 2:30am - which was when she finally fell asleep. During that whole time she was crying and moaning and her little body was SO hot! Gordon finally went to bed around 1am and I stayed up with her for another hour and a half until she finally fell asleep. Since then, she is doing better with her temp, but still not sleeping!! Last night we were up again. We were actually on a date and my friend Mindy was watching the girls for me...and Claire went to bed just fine. We got home around 10:30 - stayed up a little late to visit and then when we went to bed was when Claire woke up!! WHAT?! That was around midnight and I got her up and she was warm again!! It took me until about 3am to sooth her and put her back to bed! I am exhausted!!
Another thing this week was that I had a dentist appointment and I was enjoying my cleaning when my dentist told me I have a cavity and I need to come back for a filling. What?! I am almost 30 years old and I am getting a cavity?? I also have known for a while that my wisdom teeth have been coming in, but couldn't do anything about it because I got pregnant with Claire and then I nursed her...but now that I am done I also scheduled an appointment with a surgeon to get X-Rays and then ... surgery! EEEK! Looking forward to that day- not really!!!!!!
But my biggest deal of this week was that I was finally taking action on something I noticed a while ago, but back then I was pregnant and then nursing so this was the first time I was able to address it...and my big deal is that I found a lump. I have been feeling a strange sensation in my right side of my chest and sometimes its a numbing feeling that extends all the way under and down my arm. I scheduled a mammogram for yesterday, but unfortunately, the person who scheduled me made a mistake and I my appointment had to be rescheduled to August 3. I am looking forward to finding some answers and hopefully some peace about what I have been feeling. Even just the thought of a cancerous possibility scares me. I hope and pray it is nothing.
With all of the driving back and forth to Dr appointments, I have had a lot of 'quiet' drive time to think and I have been thinking about my family and how much I love my husband. He is so wonderful and he takes such good care of me and our girls. He's been so supportive through my trials and challenges and every day I fall in love with him all over again! I love my kids. They are so beautiful to me and they make me so happy! Even though I remember life before they came when it was just me and my man, I wouldn't trade them for anything! I am truly blessed by my Heavenly Father and I am so glad I have been able to have those quiet times to reflect on my blessings and forget my trials. An old co-worker of mine once told me G.H.A.P. - God Has A Plan. I truly believe that whatever God's plan is for me, I will trust it and be blessed.

Twisted on the potty
Evelyn must have privacy on the potty when she is doing her business...this is how we found her the other day!
Zoo ...again!
We love having a membership to the NC Zoo!! We enjoyed our 2nd visit just as much as the 1st and it's a great filler for the day!!! The weather was perfect and the animals were lively! We took a lot more video this time than photos, but here's a few snapshots from our fantabulous day!

Claire Bear
Time is FLYING! Our baby Claire is 8 months old now!! She is so stinkin' cute! We love her to pieces and we can't seem to get enough of kissing her little round cheeks. She is ALL smiles and her bright eyes just make anyone who looks at her feel warm and fuzzy inside!! We love having her apart of our family!

The SUPER Slide!!
We went to A & L's house for the 4th and spent the day with their adorable family! They set up the SUPER SLIDE and it was tons of fun!! Evelyn has been down water slides and park slides before so we thought she would love this. We sent her slippin' and slidin' down the first time and she was thrilled! Then we sent her down a second time and she was...not so thrilled!! Two times down was her limit, Oh well!! Her cousins on the other hand sure had a blast going down - or being thrown down!! Big A grilled us amazing burgers and hot dogs and the kids devoured the watermelon bites! We had a great day! Thanks A & L!! We enjoyed our 4th of July with you!!!!
Look at those white boys!!!
All the kids in the pool - splish splash!!
O and W eating lunch - mmmmm!
