Give Thanks

Ok, so I hope that everyone had a great thanksgiving. I know that I did. I think that thanksgiving is one of my fave holidays. I love family traditions and well eating obviously! I just wanted to share that while attending the Alabama game last weekend, this moron behind me kept going on and on about how stupid of a holiday thanksgiving is. He said it was, "stupid to have a holiday to celebrate eating". I wanted to turn around and bop his forehead (you know like the V8 commercials). Anyway- mom's out there, teach your kiddos what thanksgiving is all about. I think that if we all learned to be serious and count our blessings for once everyone would come to realize that thanksgiving, and everyday, is a great blessing. I had to work last night, so I was at the hospital from 2-midnight. No one in there was complaining that they missed dinner- they just wanted everyone to come to the hospital so they could be together. It really is true that when you have to decide what matters most to you (because of holidays, injury, or an illness) it isn't your job, school work, or anything trivial. It's your friends, and family.I think the older I get I realize it more and more. So many people fly through our lives effecting us for the good or bad- but our real friends and family grow with us. Then one day you can't even tell the difference in your close friends and family- cause they are one in the same. I love all you guys and I hope that you all had a great thanksgiving surrounded by friends and family. Just remember your blessings! And in the words of my OBGYN before I left the office Tuesday, "Don't gobble til you wobble!"

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...
