If you go to this web site,  www.letssaythanks.com,  you can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is currently serving in Iraq. 

 

You can't pick out who gets it, but it will go to some member of the armed services. How AMAZING it would be if we could get everyone we know to send one!!! This is a great site.

 

Please send a card. It is FREE and it only takes a moment.

 

Wouldn't it be wonderful if the soldiers received thousands of these?   Regardless of your politics or whether you are for or against the war, our service men and women over there need to know we are behind them.

 

And pass this on!

 

 

Xerox is now my hero company for doing this.  Please take the time and send one out.

We have been home with Alexis 1 week and everything is starting to settle down.  Her Bilirubin was starting to get out of the comfort zone so they decided to send a nurse over to setup a light bed for Lexi to lay on.  This only lasted 3 days, as I say better safe than sorry.  Since she was a little Jaundice she was sleeping a little more than usual which actually equals sleep!  Last night was probably my first night of good sleep I have had since she came home.  Granted my whining doesn't compare to Denise who had the C-Section and has to wake up every 3 hours to feed, so I will stop my rants now. 

Thanksgiving is 1 day away and yesterday I was tasked to go do the shopping(they wanted to get me out of the house to prepare for my birthday on friday).  This list was 1 full page, front and back.  It took me 2 1/2 hours to shop for everything.  I never wanted out of a situation so much, at one point I considered just leaving the cart and trying again in a few days, sigh.

Thanksgiving is one of those holidays that I like.  It is a day for family and reflection.  I hope you all have and had a good thanksgiving!

So it all begins with the crazy weather blocking us off from the real world, to us finally getting to go in and see the Dr. to find out that the baby is breach.  Well, we scheduled time on tuesday to discuss our options about the breach baby and what if anything we can do about it.  Monday morning comes along and the baby had other plans, Denise's water breaks and we go to the hospital.  They decide to setup a C-Section for us at 1:00, 12:45 comes along and the Dr comes in to discuss our options and what is involved with a c-section(of course we learned 5 years ago when we were in baby class).  Sounds like we are on point for our 1:00 O.R. visit.  The Dr. using the ultrasound does a check to make sure the baby is still breach.  Yep there is the head not in the right place so we all go into the O.R. room for the surgery.  At 1:30 when they were ready to pull/push the baby out the Dr. says "that little stinker turn on us and is head down after all of this".
