May 4th: We celebrated my mom's birthday by buying a Costco cake for her partly because I was craving it and then we sang Happy Birthday to her and also shared the cake with several people. It is something that she would have done. She always served others and shared what she had.
May 5th: Everett and I were watching TV together and he sweetly told me that he wanted to hold my hand. Those are the best things about being a mom.
May 6th: Vin and I were going to get something at the grocery store the Saturday before this and happened to find a Buzz Lightyear for $1 at a charity garage sale. He was so so excited! He has wanted to take him everywhere. I also bought the kids flashlights to play with. They love having them and taking them to bed at night.
May 8th-9th: I had a Mommy and Me Jamberry event with my sister Rachel. The mom's and daughters bought some coordinating wraps, made a craft and ate some snacks all for a resonable price. It's something I look forward to doing in the future for mom's and daughters.
May 10th: Happy Mother's Day to me and all the other amazing women I know! Anthon got me a gorgeous corsage and we all looked pretty good in our sea green colors.
May 14th: Everett was pretty cute playing with Anthon's chin asking him if he had spikes on it since he hadn't shaved in a while.
May 15th: At 33 weeks pregnant I was still able to do a pull-up. I was feeling pretty proud of it.
May 16th: We split the rental fee with our neighbor for a tiller and he tilled out garden area for us and then we were able to plant all of the stuff we bought to plant. It was a lot of fun working together to get it done and I am pretty excited about our first garden. We planted two kinds of tomatoes, several kinds of peppers, lettuce, broccoli, green onions, cilantro, cucumbers, squash and carrots. We'll see how it turns out this year. It was my
Mother's Day gift.
When I came home from being somewhere I immediately noticed that something was wrong with Vin. He looked like he didn't feel well or something. Anthon said that him and Everett were playing on the couch and then Vin just started crying because Everett had landed on his arm. He didn't really stop crying until he fell asleep and then when I got home he was just snuggling with Anthon like he didn't feel well. I went ahead and took him so I could hold him and we tried to have him walk to his chair to make sure his legs were okay and he did fine but couldn't actually get himself on the chair. We decided that we needed to see how he did when we moved his arm and he got really upset and cried when we bent his elbow. Having experience from breaking his arm I figured it was best to take him in and have it checked out and x-rayed. They did a few manuel tests that came back negative and then they took x-rays. It was heartbreaking to listen to him cry as they moved his arm around and then I couldn't hold him to do x-rays because I was pregnant. They x-rays showed no break but we made an appt with the orthopedist that the doctor recommended for monday in case he showed no progress over the weekend.
May 17th: We took Vin to church and kept him in the sling but he kept straighening out his arm most of the way so we kept having to fix it. I stayed in there for nursery part of the time to make sure he was okay and that people didn't hurt him. He seemed like he was doing pretty good and may be making progress.
May 18th: Vin's arm wasn't doing as well as we thought and he was really stiff so we went ahead and took him in to see the specialist. Once again the x-rays did not show a break but the doctor was certain that there was a fracture just above the elbow. He put Vin in a sling and told us to come back in 2 weeks and we would check again. We couldn't get him wet, no jumping on the trampoline or riding bikes. It's a bummer for something like this to happen right at the beginning of summer.
