Catching Up

 

Once again, I have fallen behind with blogging... but I will try to catch up with a little review of the last few months:

-We had our first appointment with the fertility doctor, which was really helpful and gave us a "plan". We hoped to move forward with treatment in December, but then found out my blood sugar needed to be more tightly controlled before we began. So now we are waiting on that to go down some, and will have more bloodwork done at the end of the month to re-evaluate. Pray for test results close to a 7.0...

-Ben and I got to go to Gatlinburg for a little trip before Christmas to celebrate 6 years together, and almost got snowed in there since the Yukon doesn't have 4wheel drive. :)

-We had a great Christmas in Auburn, Campbell really understood more this year and LOVED singing Happy Birthday to baby Jesus...but we aren't really going to do the whole Santa thing, so it was interesting to see how she responded to the "What did Santa bring you?" questions. She would mostly say that yes, she got presents - but would then shout "Happy Birthday Jesus!" I think she got the important part! :)

-New Years was uneventful since Ben had to work... bummer.

-My friend Kendall had her twins! 2 healthy boys, and one healthy mama... hopefully they will all be home together soon!

-Campbell will be 3 soon (Feb.3) which has happened WAY to fast... but I have to say, I wouldn't be too terribly sad if we skipped the 2.5-3.5 age all together... it is kicking my butt!! Any survival advice?

-As tough as this age is, she still cracks me up with her hilarious comments... here are a few:

Campbell: Turtles don't talk mama...
Me: Thats right baby, they don't talk.
Campbell: No, they just laugh...

"You are the goodest man Daddy...and you are the goodest you Mama." (guess she couldn't think of the word woman :) )

She has also been into "getting married" lately. (Partly because Cinderella is her favorite movie, and she loves how they get married at the ball) So she likes to tell Ben she is going to marry him at the ball too - and gets him to twirl her around like the prince does Cinderella... priceless! (He even showed her our wedding album the other day so she could see my dress, and the pictures of us dancing "at the ball")


That about does it for the news around here... sorry for the lack of pictures - but the ONE THING I forgot on the Gatlinburg trip and in Auburn for Christmas was the CAMERA!! I promise to do better...
