Infusion days

I have never really talked about what happens during an infusion for the boys. There really is not much to it. We go to the clinc at our dr's office and see our wonderful nurse K! The boys both have ports so they do not have to get stuck everytime we go in. The ports are in there chest not too far below their collar bones. The do make life much easier. Then the boys get "accessed" and are given fluid then premeds like steriods and benadryl then they get their IVIG. 6 grams for Wyatt and 8 for Noah. It is an all day thing. We ge there about 10 and leave about 530ish. Then we do it all over again in 3 weeks!

lonely nights

I was watching Jon and Kate + 8 last night. Kate was talking about how lonely the nights can get. It struck a cord with me. They do get very lonely. I love my children more than anything but it is lonely not having somebody to share an adult conversation with. There is only so much you can tell a 5 year old that you don't want everyone knowing! But school does take up alot of my time now at night but its not the same ;) I am about to take my first test this week and am quite nervous about it! The kids are depending on me to do well in school and get a job! I also try to make it to the Y everyday to work off this baby wieght and to have some me time! My ex does not take the kids like he is suppose to so I am thankful that the Y offers parents night out! I am going to do the first one in October and hopefully get some early christmas shopping done. My goal is to be done by thanksgiving.... We will see how well that goes! I do have to add to this that i am so blessed to have my Mom. She has been my rock through this whole process! I honestly dont know what i would do with out her!

Sometimes I am creative

Sometimes I get a wild hair to do something creative! So i decided i would learn how to make hair bows for Mia since money is tight i can"t really afford to buy them. So i looked up a site online and found direction and off i went to make some bows. This is the result

A friend of mine is having a baby this week and since she did not find out the flavor of the baby. I decided to make a diaper basket. If i do say so myself it turned out pretty cute!

Rain rain go away

It has rained here for the last 3 days straight. It was no fun for anyone we could not go anywhere because I did not want to get Logan out in the weather. So the 3 oldest by Sunday were climbing the walls! We did end up baking a yummy pineapple upside down cake and some chocolate cookies. I had never made one of those cakes before but it was quite easy.

Cleaning

I thought since the boys were old enough i would add some more chores to the list of things they have to do. I needed to wash their sheets so i asked them to get them off the beds.

This is what i found when i went into the room:

School days

We have been back in school now for 3 weeks. I say we because along with the boys being back in school so am I. Wyatt started august 24. Noah started the following week and then i started a week after him. Wyatt is doing fabulous in school he has really come into his own over the summer. He is in the DISD preschool which is all day 5 days a week. He also is a big boy and takes the bus in the mornings. Noah is in Prek which is half day in the afternoons. I decided to hold him back a grade due to the fact when he was little he spent so much time in the hospital he did not get the foundations down to enter kindergarten. He can do his numbers and letters but his writting needs some work along with reading. But he has so impressed his teachers and myself with how far he has come with just one semester of school. I started back to college to finish my degree so that i can make a better life for myself and for the kids. I should be done in may of 2011.
