Beach is calling

Woke up this morning hearing the waves in my head!  I can't believe that my life is where it is right now! So many dreams are coming true for me. Just looking at my children makes me feel a little weepy. I talked to several people this morning on the phone about the start of construction on my dream home.  I have the perfect job. So so many blessings. Now in only a few more days I get to load up and head south toward my idea of Heaven on earth- Panama City Beach, Florida. Woo Hoo!! Here we come. I am going to go against the grain and force myself to pack early in an effort to be more prepared:) This is not typical of me! I am a horrible procrastinator! I hope that thinking and packing ahead will alleviate any last minute problems or forgotten child "necessities" such as paci's, sparkly pink flip flops, or princess sippy cups! I also get to load up all kinds of fun road trip essentials like snacks, music, dvd's, etc. And perhaps in learning from our eventful car ride to Atlanta my children will be dressed in garbage bags at all times while in the car, lol. Just kidding... but that could be useful. Well- I am off to make a - wait for it, wait for it.... Lisa Clement style list!!! I am so excited!

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:)

Image
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...
