Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to the love of my life! I love you and I hope that you have a wonderful day. You have made my life more meaningful and wonderful.

I Love You!

CRAZINESS...

That is all that can be said for the last couple of weeks. We have had a rough couple of weeks on every front and I fear Evelyn had the brunt of it. Since my parents left (I am not blaming you for leaving and this all starting...not completely :0), Evelyn has thrown up, got an ear infection, a bladder infection and fractured her wrist. She has been through so much these past few weeks and I feel so bad for her.

The bladder infection came on just before my parents got here. She started peeing herself every day at least once so I knew something was wrong. Wednesday, I took her to the dr. and they said it was a bladder infection. While waiting for the doctor, the nurse asked if everything else was okay and I was about to say "yes" when Evelyn said her ear hurt. Sure enough the doctor checked it and she had the start of an ear infection. Started antibiotics for both of those and thought we should be good now. Fast forward to Monday morning about 3:30, all is quite, both girls are sleeping in bed with me and "THUD" Evelyn falls out of our bed and starts crying. No biggie, I get her back in bed, thinking she is crying because she fell, but she wouldn't stop and said her wrist hurt. Richard came in and we looked at it but couldn't see anything so we went back to bed.

The next day, Evelyn was good but said he wrist hurt so we kept an eye on it and told daycare to do the same. That evening she didn't want to move it and the next morning she wouldn't do anything with it so I took the day off so we could go to the doctors. 2nd time in a week. The P.A. couldn't tell by looking at it so we were off to get x-rays. She was a trooper! Got them done and waited to hear from the doctor. They finally called at 3:30 saying it was a "buckle fracture" and needed a cast. Richard took her the next morning and she got a Hot Pink cast put on.

She will wear the cast for 3-4 weeks. It will be a long 3-4 weeks as she already doesn't like it and tried to take it off. She told me "I don't feel pretty with this on." How sad is that? We will make it through and she will heal. I just wish it was her left hand so she could color and write still.

That was just Evelyn!

I won't bore you with everything about Richard and I but we are hanging in there and working HARD!

Camille is doing great. She is staying dry all day and all night. Still working on #2 in the potty but happy there is an end in sight. She is talking and singing up a storm. She has these conversations with us and they are adorable because she knows EXACTLY what she is saying and has all these gestures to go with it and Richard and I are just like "uhhuh..." It is cute.

The girls now share a room and Camille's old room is now a play room. We are hoping this will help with them sleeping together and not with us. I will let you know when that works for us. I like the separate rooms and I think the girls do to.

Spring Break is coming up in a couple of weeks and I am ready to relax! I need a break!
