Well there hasn't been much going on lately. I am ready to have this little guy any moment, seriously! I am totally ready and he is getting so wiggly and it is non stop.
Kaylie has been seeing an alternative medicine doctor for her allergies. It is quite strange, but I think in the long run we will see some results. So far...she was allergic to chicken and eggs, but that was cured. She is now allergic to iron...but that should be cured also. That may sound totally odd and not right, but it is a process called NAET...you can check out their site. http://www.naet.com/. Alot of people don't believe in it, but my SIL and I have been taking our kids there and I am really liking what has happened so far. I can't explain much about it, but if it works on Kaylie and she can get rid of her red eyes and excema then I will be more than happy. We found out last time that Kendra is allergic to fabric softeners....that's just great! We aren't having her worked on just yet, we just did that on our way out because I asked about her.
Anyway, school starts for Kendra in less than 2 weeks, on August 18th. I am very very excited about that. I am now wishing I could have put Kaylie into a preschool this year, but I am also ok with waiting until next year. She is still my baby. I just think it would have been nice for her with the new baby to be able to get out with kids her age. I know she'll love her little brother, but I also know she'll love playing with other kids. If she doesn't go this year then she is for sure going to start next school year.
Well I went to Babies R us Friday and they were having some sort of deal there and they had a company there doing free 3D ultrasounds for 2nd & 3rd trimester women. I was so excited. Baby boy didn't cooperate when I had the first one at the doctors office so I though this would be better. WRONG! This boy had his hand over his face most of the time. I got a small glimpse of his cute face, but not much. I was sad, but at the same time I look forward to seeing what he looks like when he arrives.
On a very sad note...I called a friend of mine who was 19 weeks pregnant, she had an u/s scheduled for this Thursday to get the doctors info and to find out the sex. I gave her a call and told her to head over there...her and her hubby did so. They were closing the u/s deal, but opened back up just for them. As she started to look at the baby the first thing my friend looked for like always was the heartbeat....she has had 2 miscarriages before this pregnancy. Anyway, right away my friend knew there wasn't a heartbeat because of the questions the tech was asking her and the tech confirmed it for them. They went straight to the ER to verify and the baby had no heartbeat at all. She called me later that night and it really didn't sink in for me until the next day when she called me again. I was on the way home and after we hung up as I walked into the house with Kaylie I just held her and cried...she fell asleep in the chair with me. I can't even imagine what she is going through. The baby was supposed to be delivered yesterday, but something happened so now it is Tuesday and they are supposed to get her in. I don't know why the doctors and hospital are being so dumb. I know she won't read this, but our family just absolutely loves her and of course her hubby. They have become close friends of ours since they moved here and this hurts us so bad to see them going through this. I just called today to make sure to put their names on the Prayer Roll at the Temple. They are surely in our thoughts and prayers daily and we hope that they can find some sort of comfort to help get them through this tough time in their lives. I know most of you don't know them and I am not going to say her name cause if you know her you already are likely to know. I just wish there was more I could do for her.

Hey Katie. It's so hard to have joy in your blessings when you are grieving for someone else. I just went through a friend losing a baby (had a funeral and everything). I think she's just barely coming out of it...five months later. Hopefully there is a counselor or therapist she can talk to, if not...encourage her to talk!
ReplyDeleteSO sad!! Tell her we are praying for them!!
