Thankful Thursday: My two babies

You may or may not know that it took a while for me to get pregnant and stay pregnant.  It took just over 2 years to get pregnant with Logan (1 year no medication 1 year with) and 6 months for Ryleigh (5 months on our own 1 months with med).  Infertility sucks, for me it was full of heartbreak, anger, tears, letdowns, ultrasounds and a lot of blood work. It consumed my life, it was only I could think about.  I spent more times that I can count staring at that pregnancy test just in the right light to see if there was a second line, only to see it was stark white oh how I hated that stark white test. Praying each month that this is this month, this month I was going to get pregnant.  It was hard when friends and family members starting getting pregnant and having babies before me, which for me made my anger worse and then the guilt would start, it was not their fault that I could not get pregnant.

I am very grateful that I finally did get pregnant, there is so many women out there that have gone through far worse than I ever went through, some women out there who have to face reality that it may not be in the picture for them.  Many of them who have to go through more testing and procedure that I had to do. My heart goes out to anyone who is experiencing infertility, and that you are not alone out there.

  My children may drive me crazy at times but I love them and so extremely thankful that they are here.

Fracture Foot

I have been meaning to blog this whole week about my poor Logan foot but the computer is being preoccupied by Logan.  As you may or may not know Logan fracture his foot last Tuesday get this spinning around. He was a trooped through the whole thing, actually we had no idea that it was fractured until the x-rayed it.  Dave is going around telling people that he is fighter is some toddler MMA and that he shatter his leg, he thinks it make Logan seem a lot tougher then just spinning.

So this past week has been a bit rough on all of us.  Every morning I here him banging on his wall yelling "Mommy come get me I cant walk."  He spends majority of the time on the couch since he is not supposed to walk at all.  He has played on the floor here and there but gets easily frustrated that he can not reach the toys that he wants, eventually ends up him screaming for me to put him back on the couch.  So there has been a lot of movie watching, Cat in the hat, Super Hero squad and book reading. 

He was supposed to get his cast off on June 1 but the clinic that will be taking it off has limited appointments and will not get it off till June 8. Now that is one more week extra of me lugging around my 40+pound son, I feel bad for poor Logan I am taking him and Ryleigh for walks trying to avoid parks which is hard since they are quite a few on our walk.

Wordless Wednesday:Ryleigh 6 months old

Weekend Round Up: Friends, Birthday parties, Mothers day and bit of last weekend

I just realized that I did not blog about last weekend.  It was busy as usual we had friends over Friday and Saturday.  Friday we watched the Royal Wedding which was beautiful.  Saturday during the afternoon we headed to the park with our kids and then watch UFC. 

the boys being super cute reading stories *LOVE*

Sunday we headed to my sisters place for a BBQ and most important for Logan to jump on the trampoline, for days he was still talking about it.  We had beautiful weather and it was really nice to see my Dad.

All right for this weekend it was busy busy as usual.  Friday we headed over to Jen and Kevins for our weekly visit we had a very yummy dinner.  I think the boys played really well together not to sure as we ushered the boys downstairs (all the boys) so that Jen, Ryleigh and I could have a nice conversation without being interrupted a bunch of times.  Its always nice to spend time them

Saturday was Josh and Emmas birthday party over at Kokos www.kokos.ca/.  This place is so much fun.  We have been there a few times, the first time that I went was when Logan was just over 9 months old they have a great area for children under 3. Logan was running around like crazy, poor Dave had to chase him all around.  After lunch/dinner my sister and I brought the girls down to the baby area, my niece had so much fun playing around and the area is great because everything is padded and soft so you really do not have to worry to much other than some crazy kids running over yours.  Logan stayed with me in that area, spent a good 1/2 hour going down their little slide.  Ryleigh was super content just sitting and watching all the kids.

Sunday was Mothers Day, Dave very sweetly let me sleep in which was great since that past couple of days I have not been sleeping well it was nice to get some extra sleep.  He and Logan made me a wonderful breakfast of eggs benedict, toast, hash browns and melon. Logan help me open my present, which was a Gift Card to a spa to get my nails done .   I had made a joke a couple days ago that on Mothers day I did not want to change any diapers or feed any babies, my joke came true.  He took over everything, he put Ryleigh down for her nap, changed all her diapers made sure both kids were fed.  I kept on offering my help he told me nope just sit relax, watch t.v. or read my book. I feel kinda bad since Ryleigh was in a mood yesterday she either has a cold or teeth coming in but she was off pretty much all day.

My babies playing Ryleigh was calm for a bit

this pretty much sums up the day with Ryleigh she was not a happy girl yesterday

The evening we headed to my moms for dinner and had a nice night with my family.  My Mom got my sister and I some beautiful flowers for Mothers Day

Even with Ryleigh crankiness it was a nice day.
