WOW.......

Has it really been this long since I updated, so sorry. A lot has gone on this past month so I will touch on a few things to catch the one person who reads my blog up to date, :). First off I can't find the card reader so there will be no pictures until I find it, just a long boring post. So my Dad and step mom were here visiting from Saudi Arabia for Christmas, so good to see them! After Livi's b-day Chris and I went to the Christmas box angel to a wonderful ceremony that is for people who have lost children, we have gone every year except for 2 years ago when I had Livi. We love going to anything that allows us to remember Chloe. Gavin had his helmet appointment around the first of Dec. and it was decided that there was not much improvement to we would go another month, well we had that month appointment last week and there still was not much improvement and his Dr. said this might be as good as we can get considering he started extremely severe, but he does think that with more time with it off during the day this will allow him to start learning to roll over so he said he would only have to wear it at night for another month. This is huge and we are okay with this because we have seen a big improvement so far.
We had a great Christmas, it came and went so fast. The kids got spoiled this year even though we did cut back A LOT. We had a big surprise on Christmas, my brother and sister-in-law finally set a wedding date, 08-09-10, we are so excited for it to finally be official, even though it has always felt like it was. Congrats you guys, we are so happy.
My sister and her hubby found out that they are expecting a girl, 2 boys, 2 girls, How perfect!! She will be here in the summer.
My other sister is due in a few weeks with her first little boy, we had her shower last Saturday, I think it went well and she was able to get a lot of things she was needing. I am so happy for her to finally become a mom. She has watched her two younger sister and a brother all become parents, now it's her turn. I know she is super scared to have a baby given that she hates hospitals and needles, but I know she will surprise herself and everyone else for that matter and focus through all that pain on the end result, it's totally worth it. Having lost Chloe and all that I went through having her and feeling like all that work was for nothing, all that pain and tears just so I could go home empty handed. Being pregnant is not always fun, no sleep, killer heartburn, can't breathe, nothing fits, bathroom breaks every 10 min, and delivery is not much better, but believe me I would wish it all back just to hold my baby one more time. Sorry, I just miss her.
I will post picture soon of all our fun adventures this past month as soon as I find that reader.

Happy Birthday Livi

Oh Liv, you bring a smile to my face just when I thought I could smile no more. You are a blessing to our family. We have enjoyed having you for the past 2 years and look forward to the next 100 years watching you grow. You make us laugh all the time. I can't imagine our lives without you. We love you so much. Happy 2nd birthday baby girl!!!!

I know, I know....

I need to update the blog but I have a sick boy right now so I probably have the time just not a priority. G is doing better, just trying to keep him from being put in the hospital with RSV or Phuemonia. I don't think I have a lot to update, maybe a few pics over the last weeks so I promise I will update soon.

Halloween 2009

G was a monkey, but the banana hat would not fit over his helmet.

Helping G do his hand prints and foot prints.

Walk for Chloe!!

We walked for Chloe on the 10th of October in our annual Share Walk to Remember. Anyone who has lost a baby or knows someone that has can come and walk for them. It is a very emotional but well needed day. I have to tell all of my family and friends that walked for Chloe, thank you. I means so much to me that do this for her. To all my Share friends, I love you and I hate that this is how we all met but I do believe that good things do come out of bad things and that's all of you. We have survived another year without out babies.

Madalyn walking fer her Sis. Everyone carries a balloon for there baby weather it be pink for a girl, blue for a boy or white if you did not know the sex of your baby.

My AMAZING and most talented friend Krishel and her mom Me'Chel came and sang a beautiful song to our angels in heaven. It was called I'll be there. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You and your mom are the best!!!

Tanya and Shayla

G's new hat!!

Here he is! He is still trying to adjust to the helmet. He will have to wear it 23 hours a day. It makes him sweat so much, poor thing.

Sissy had to get in the picture.

There's a smile.

Here he is getting his scan done for the helmet. They put this funny sock on his head, he looked cute!!

These pictures were taken in the Dr's office right before he was fitted.

And here is our first attempt at solid food....not so much a fan!
