Fever AGAIN!!

UGH! I just have to say sometimes I really hate winter! W are iced in again and Emma has a fever and icky nose...again. I guess our reprieve was only a week in between. Their daddy was so nice to come and take Emma to the doctor. His car is bigger and heavier than mine. Dr. Daley said it is a virus and to just keep the tylenol and nose meds down her. So once again we are waiting for her to be better. I have to say that this winter has been far easier than last year, but I hate it when she is sick. But ears and throat looked good! WOOOHOOO!!

Here are some pics of the "icy wonderland."

Quick Update

We are still iced in...and by iced in I mean our driveway is a solid piece of ice. Today we decided to get out for a little bit. It was nice to venture out of the house however when it was time to come home....we had a little trouble. The Honda couldn't make it up the driveway. So Craig parked it on the side of the street and tried to go up the lawn..well it was complete ice also and finally he was able to do it. Emma was a basket case. When he finally got her in the garage safe and sound, he had to come back and help me....well an 8 1/2 month pregnant woman who is nervous on the ice was a BIGGER deal. It was okay at first until we slid, but didn't fall. Then Emma could tell I was scared and she started to CRY and then stepped out of the garage on the ice crying and fell on her bottom. She was fine..just scared. Finally with the help of rock salt we made it up the hill of a front lawn. Who knew a slight incline would be so difficult to get up? It is quite comical now, but not funny at the time. So, I guess we will let Craig leave, but Emma and I will stay.

I went to my knew Primary Care Physician today. He is very nice and I like him. He was able to refer me to an obstetric chiropractor to help with my back pain. My blood pressure was slightly elevated, but by the time I left it was lowering. The doctor checked for protein, but it was just a trace. I have an OB appt. Monday. I only have 4 1/2 weeks until the baby is here. I am hoping that the blood pressure and everything just stay normal. I have been monitoring kick counts and she has been doing great!!

Please pray for all the people who are still without power in the Mid-West. Many of them have been out of power since Friday or Saturday. God Bless!!

Ice, Ice Everywhere

Well, we have been iced in for a couple of days. A bad ice storm hit Friday and we have had several waves of ice. I am not sure how many inches. Craig's car looked like it belonged in Ice Age instead of 2007!!

We are having fun napping and playing with Emma.

Update on Transition Meeting:

The meeting with our public school went fine. We were able to express Emma's strengths and our concerns for next year. Craig was able to meet the teacher and he really liked her. We have to enroll her now. Then we will begin testing. After that we write her IEP (individualized education plan)

Once again I just want to thank God for Marcus and Christine. They have been in our lives for almost 3 years. They have helped us in more ways than they will ever know. The one thing that I will always remember is they way they have loved our child. This is something that I will never be able to forget. Thank you for all you have done for our family, especially for Emma.

Let It Snow

We had about 10 inches of snow this week and Emma really didn't think too much of it. She only touched it and looked at it and then asked to come in. Click on the title of the post to see pics of our Snow Day and Thanksgiving. Emma has been sick with a virus and now I have it. I go for my 28 week check up on Monday, so I hoping to get some relief then. We are counting down the weeks until Princess Gracie arrives...11 weeks!! Woohoo!!

Emma has been verbalizing more and more. She has also begun to put two or three signs together! She is working really hard and we are proud of her. She has her last testing with Sooner Start in 2 weeks. Then we begin the tranisition process with Jenks. This actually makes me nervous...being the parent and employee. Hopefully, we will get all that Emma deserves. Check out her pics!
