Love These Kid's

Never did I think that I would be a mother to 4 children, but I couldn't picture my life any other way! They bless my life in more ways than I can count. They bring me so much happiness, they stress me out, they run me ragged and never stop asking for things! But, I wouldn't want it any other way!! These years are few and precious...I'm going to soak it all in.

Tonsils Out 7-8-13!!

FINALLY!!! After almost a year, they are out!! Poor girl was not happy with me at all the day of surgery. The nurses were so good with her though. They even put a hat on her American Girl doll and a fake IV so it would look like Emmy. We were both exhausted when we got home (had to leave our house at 4:45am to be in Corvallis by 6:30am) so her and I took a nap that afternoon. By evening time, Emily still wasn't feeling well and ended up throwing up. The scream that came out of her is a sound I never want to hear again...my heart just broke. Poor girl was throwing up right after having her tonsils out. Ugh, sometimes being a mommy is so hard. I held it together while they were prepping her for surgery, but as soon as they wheeled her back, I was crying. It is a simple operation, but so many things can go wrong. She did well and is fully recovered. We have her post op appointment today and should be all done. Whew...who knew this would be such a hassle. The doctor did say her tonsils were HUGE and that she probably won't snore anymore. He was right...no more cute little snore and she is actually sleeping really well finally. It takes some work in the morning for me to wake her up. I do believe that I am probably the only parent out there that enjoys having a difficult time waking their child up!!
