It tastes like thick sunkist.......

So this morning at 7:45 I was starving and drinking nasty orange junk. Now we are just praying for a good report from my glucose screen. Next was the ultrasound, which took a good 40 minutes, thanks to lil bit not cooperating. Every time the tech would get a clear shot of what she needed, he would stick his head right in the way. So, we had to do one the "other" way. The abrevia is still there, however it is improved but not yet considered "normal." So, I will have another ultrasound at 36 weeks and if things are the same we will have a "scheduled" baby this time. I have kept myself from looking up info online, b/c there is so much stuff on there, so I did not know how dangerous it is for me, if I were to go into labor, till today.

This weekend will be a little emotional as we will say good bye to my grandmother's house as we move everything out and close on the contract we have on it. The house never even had to be put on the market!

A couple of changes

Corban is growing up so fast I just want everything to slow down! Every night before bed we read books, yes books. We have a night night book that must be read following that could be any book but the past couple of weeks it has been a peek-a-boo book, that I got for $1 at BAM when I met Jamie for dinner. It has about 7 or 8 animals and you say the noise they make and their paws/feathers cover their faces and you can pull them down and they reveal the animal. Wed night Corban decided to be repeat the animals, we have dog (which he has mastered for a while now) but he decided to add chicken, sounds like chichen, sheep, sounds like shweep, pig and cow. We have also added cookie(tookie), sock, shoes, toes. He also loves to point to bobos (belly button) after he points he takes his hand flat and cover up the bobo till you ask where it is then he smiles real big and moves his hand. If you ask him where his bobo is he will gladly pull up his shirt and show you. He and Eric went to the thrift store last night and found a "working" toy vacuum cleaner which is now our favorite toy and must never be out of sight. Even if it is on and making noise he still makes the mmmmmmmmm noise himself.... he is def going to be the neat freak like his daddy(love you honey).

-We bought Zoe a kennel and she is now an outside dog, the shedding got to be too much for the "neat" ones in the house, even though it was not too bad.
-We have significiantly lowered the price of the house but have had no offers so Eric is considering renting, I am honestly not a fan of this, but we will do what we need to.
-We are still praying about a job for me. While Eric has been more than patient, the 10-7 shift is about to kill both of us since I have been working it for about 12 weeks in a row now. I am getting closer to getting my set schedule but it is beyond frustrating. I am being used as one of the night supervisiors which is good experience but I am ready for normal hours. My manager is not budging on making me be there a full year before she lets me apply for a position in another department, which wouls mean a raise and "normal" hours, UGH!
-I go on Thursday for my glucose test and ultrasound #3 and praying that the partial placentia abrevia has corrected itself.

Corban Lee 15 Months

Words- bye bye, baby, mama, dada, zozo (for Zoe), ball, shoes, dog, baba (bottle), papa (paci), no no (as he continues to do what he is not supposed to), uhoh, bobo (belly button) and I may be forgetting a few.

I know where to find- my toes, nose, ear, mouth

I sign for- more and milk (working on hungry)

I like to- play in my pool, slide, swing, play outside, run and scream, dance, push anything with wheels, flush the potty, pretend and make noise like a hair dryer and curl my hair with the curling iron, brush my hair, brush my teeth, get anyone's bobo and toes, give Zoe her dog treats, dip everything in ketchup, like daddy, feed myself with a fork, run around naked after my bath, help daddy with anything and everything, chase Zoe all over the house to give her lovin

I don't like to- have my diaper changed, not get my way, put on clothes, okra, be told no

Mommy loves- morning hugs, when asked if it is night night time the way I give hugs and walk to my crib, my laugh, my smile, snuggle time, to dance with me, the way I point and say huh when I know what she is saying, the way I spin in circles, the way I run with my arms behind me when I get excited

"Be strong take heart and wait on the Lord"

Ps. 27:14. This is the verse that sustained me all throught highschool and I have found my strength in it once again. Eric and I have lowered the price on our house, we need it to sell. We have also found a house that we really like. The builder even has a deal where if your house has not sold by the time they finish building yours they buy your house from you. While we will have to give up our yard in return we will get a 4bedroom with a den and a real 2 car garage, so decisions, decisions. Still waiting to hear back from the school that I applied at, in August I can "post out" of my position and hopefully get into something with normal hours and no Sat. So, needless to say we are seeking God and asking Him for His best, just like He promises.

My brother comes home on Sat and will be the first time I have seen him since my grandmother's funeral.

Dr. visit

Emerson is growing well and is quite the active little guy. His favorite time to "play" is at night when mommy needs to sleep. The dr visit was good, with the exception of an elevated bp., his heart beat was 155. I get to go back in 4 weeks and do that LOVELY glucose test. I also have to have another ultrasound. At my last ultrasound it was discovered that I have a partial placenta abravia. According to my doc the partial ones always correct so baby can be delivered. Worst case would mean a c-section. Not that there is anything wrong with them, but I don't want one.

Corban's 15 month check-up: 31 in long (50-75%), 24lbs (25-50%), head 19 (75%). None of these number suprise me at all.

On another note, Eric and I are still praying about some big decisions that are infront of us, please keep us in your prayers.

For Really?!?!?!?!?!?

This week has ben super busy, as usual. Well, Tuesday Corban's sitter needed the day off fo her son's awards stuff at school so I had to take him with me to the Region's daycare. I was super excited they had a spot because my options had dwindled down to my dad having to take him to school with him for the half school day and watching him till I got off, granted I didn't get the call till Monday and he had been on the waiting list for 2 weeks. Corban likes it there they have tons of toys and the playground, which he LOVES, his teacher is super sweet too. Well after work I go by to pick him up only to be told that they had to send a kid in his room home earlier today because he had the rash from hand, mouth and foot virus. Wed. night while Eric was bathing Corban he noticed the rash on Corban's back...... The good news is that I don't think it has gotten in his mouth.

Life just gets better for the little man, as he was getting ready to go to bed. I had walked into the other room so I didn't see it but I could hear the big bang. Apparently Corban had lost his footing and fell, face first right on his nose. It was instantly red and blue. My biggest fear was that it was broken but it didn't look crooked nor did I see a weird bump. I called after hours anyway and the nurse said as long as it was not dripping clear fluid or had a bump that it would be ok till morning to look at it then. It still doesn't look broken but it is all pretty shades from pink-red-purpler-bluish-black you know just in time for the family reunion on Sunday........

I had to go through some training at work yesterday for a kind of promotion. It doesn't pay any extra but I am being pulled out to do new hire training, yay.

Wow

Where to start? Well, Corban slept great for a few days and last night we were back to not sleeping..... well at least for a couple of hours. Apparently he is teething and nothing works we just give him medicine and he fusses till it starts to kick in, poor baby. He has also recently decided he does not want paci, not that I mind about that. He is still however fond of his bottle. We have tried everything but there is no substitute, I figure if that is all he is holding onto I really shouldn't worry. Yesterday I had to take him to work with me to the back up daycare where they sent a kind in his room home with hand, foot and mouth virus. We have prayed over Corban and he is showing no signs of it. The daycare did a good job and cleared the kids out of the room and bleached and sanatized everything, but it still puts my nerves on edge.

I am starting something new at work. I have been asked to start teaching new hires in the training class in on the job training. My hourly supervisor is taking another position which leaves me and one other guy to push for her spot, which would mean not being on the phone all the time and having to deal with difficult situations.
