Not Me Monday!

It is always so therapeutic to admit to my not so pretty moments to share with my blog friends. This past week has been very peaceful at our home, but there are always those moments that you simply need to say "not me!"

I did NOT get kicked out of the first aid room at the VT game while nursing my daughter because a really drunk student was being brought in to detox! I then was forced to find a quiet corner for some nursing time without my beloved blanket! Thankfully Hope's head is finally getting a little bigger which helps cover!

I did NOT gasp so hard walking with a friend this morning. I would never allow my body to get this out of shape:) Just a note in our defense, this was a huge hill and we both had babies strapped to us which adds some weight:)

I am NOT addicted to ebay these days. Nope, I would never waste valuable time like that:)

I did NOT smuggle an infant into a VT football game in her sling. Just because I think it is ridiculous to pay almost $50 for a ticket for a two month old I would NEVER do that:) Just note, I did have a ticket for her, but the teenager taking tickets was too embarrassed or clueless to ask me what was strapped to me!!

That is all I am willing to admit to today-what about you????

VT weekend

You know how you should never say never?! Well, this weekend I did something I said I would never do. I took a infant to a VT football game! The weather was perfect and cool and Tech was suppose to win big so it was a good game to try. Little Hope was a trooper and slept in the sling most of the first half and then looked around the second half. David also LOVED the game and was such a good boy. Tech did win big and it was perfect football weather!

Mike and Kyle were not with us because they went to Navy to watch LA Tech and Navy play football in Anapolis. They had a good boy weekend-Kyle really LOVES special boy time with Mike.

Before the game this huge jet flew over as a fly by before the game and it was really loud!

David insisted to sit with Pops during the game and he watched every play and cheered so hard!

Me and my youngest two before the game. Just before going I had gone to the salon for a cut and color-this is the shortest my hair has been in a while:)

Hope



I cannot resist posting a cute picture of sweet Hope:) I love a picture of a sleeping baby but amazingly in this picture she is sleeping in her own bed without being in my arms-amazing!!

Anyway, we just got back from the pediatric cardiologist and it appears that our Hope has a hole between two of her lower heart chambers. The doctor did an EKG and an echocardiogram. Hope was amazingly well-behaved considering she had stickers all over her and then a cold wand.

The doctor felt that this hole will eventually close on its own but we have to go back every 6 months to recheck it. We will go back in December when she is 6 months old. We are so thankful that her appointment turned out so well. Kyle has a heart murmur also and amazingly with David's DS you would think that he would be our child who had to visit a cardiologist.

Hope is doing very well and I am enjoying my days with her. Next week we will start library time (never too young to start falling in love with books) and next week is also the official start to playgroup. Life is good in our household right now and we are so thankful for the good report we got today:)
