Life

Tonight- I am up late. My first trimester lethargy has been replaced with insomnia:) That's ok with me because I got so behind with everything now I have time to play catch up at night when everything is quite. I just listened to this little being in my belly-sweet little heart pounding away. I can't describe this feeling. I think I could walk around with the dopplar strapped to me attached to headphones! That would be funny looking wouldn't it?  Anyway, the reason I wanted to blog is because I had a heavy week at work (sad week), and I am feeling so incredibly grateful for the blessings in my life. So here is my list:
An amazing family
My health
My home
My education
My youth
My experiences
My  future potential
My growing belly, and the promise that's growing inside it
Riccatoni's (TAG!!)
Smallville
Alabama Football (going to Tuscaloosa this weekend)
My granny's dresses ( that will become a snuggle pillow)
My dogs
Music
COFFEE (even though I can't have it right now)
Wine (I can't have that either, but I am grateful for it)
Books
cell phones
Lowes:)
So there you have it- Thank you God!

Holy $#%*

do you think work is bad?!? ok, so if you think that you had a bad day today at the office, just a funny comment on that:) Tonight at work, I had a 35 year old male, shit in his hand (please pardon my language but I am so pissed) and attempt to give it to me. So was work bad?!? Just another lovely day in the ICU. Btw, he did it to be ugly- not like he couldn't help it. I mean what do you say to someone that does that? I mean WHO does that?!

And all the days in between...

So after all our scurrying to stop preterm labor. The days that followed turned into a slow and steady drag. Laying in bed all day sounds pretty awesome and luxurious until it turns into 10 days or so:) So much time. For me the toughest part is that you just don't know how long it will be. Are we getting closer? Half way maybe? Each Dr., each Nurse, each resident, each sonographer has a different opinion. Has a new tidbit that is exciting, or overwhelming, or scary even. Then you have all this time to lay and over think (which as many of you know is actually my biggest gifting, lol) Shortly after my Mag drip stopped- four days into our stay. I was allowed to eat. Sit up a bit. I was allowed to actually walk to the bathroom:) We also had a bit of  a scare with our Brodie. Brodie had an usual finding on his morning ultrasound. Each boy has a daily ultrasound every morning, bright and early, at about 7:30-7:45. On that particular morning I noticed something that looked a bit differen...

Becoming a Mommy all over again:)

So, I am not sure why the blog on here that says it is the last one I did popped up and is dated from 2016. Maybe it is a total coincidence. Maybe it's some sort of weird computer glitch. Maybe, just maybe, it is because tonight as I sit here I needed to revisit that night. It was a tough night. A night where I was up tending to sick babies alone. It was an isolating time in my life. It was a scary time in my life. But, somehow in the overwhelming chaos of that life that used to be mine. I had grasped on to how truly blessed I was. I was blessed in my mess... just to be a mommy. I think I needed that tonight. You know. My life doesn't even resemble that life anymore. I don't revisit it often. My time spent as a Mommy in that life seems like something that happened to a person I don't even know. Tonight I read through some of these blogs for a dose of perspective. You know we all need that sometimes. I have been in a fog for the past two days. I think our current situat...
