Tomorrow, my baby turns 4!! I figured I'd do a little Teagan update to go along with her turning a year older<3 She is constantly telling people that her birthday is October 3rd so I am sure she will be excited when she wakes up tomorrow and I get to tell her that "today is October 3rd", and she will know exactly what that means;) She is so full ( Read more... )

somehow I've got to collect myself from the emotional mess that i am and refocus a bit. Truthfully everyone, I'm struggling a bit with the reality of the seriousness of my moms illness. She's not going to get better, and now her doctors are saying that it's possible we might not see Christmas with her this year ( Read more... )

Yesterday was just one big serious struggle....I guess I almost knew that this news was coming, considering the surrounding circumstances with my moms health. What am I going to do when she's not here? Those moments in life where you just want your mom? Every time I think about that, I can't hold back the tears. I don't even know how to write ( Read more... )

We had a really wonderful time in Disneyland. As much as we loved our trip last year with Richard's whole family, it was really nice to enjoy it with just the 3 of us this year, too. Teagan was so excited the whole time and went on soooooo many awesome rides. The first day we got there, we had her in a pair of sandals. Some of the bigger rides ( Read more... )

Yesterday/Today were hard days. Yesterday, my mom (who has amyloidosis and is on kidney dialysis) was getting ready to do her peritoneal dialysis at home and suddenly started having really bad stomach pains. She was instructed by her doctor to go to the kidney center, who told her that she needed to go to the ER. By the time she got to the ER, ( Read more... )

Teagan had rave reviews over her preschool yesterday:) When I arrived to pick her up, I was walking outside, heading to the door and I glanced through the window as I was walking and saw her quietly (?!?!) sitting down in a circle with the rest of her class and her teacher...and then she saw me and immediately shot up and I could see she was ( Read more... )

Today Teagan is acting like she knows everything about preschool...and she hasn't even been there yet. She's just going off of everything she's seen in her books and on TV regarding school. She is convinced that "when the bell goes off, it might scare me for a minute"...even though I'm pretty certain her preschool does not have a bell that rings ( Read more... )

Teagan is in bed, all ready for her very first day of school tomorrow:) Pretty funny antics between her and her daddy tonight as she was going to bed too. Little did she know, Richard had climbed in to her bed and hid under her covers while she was in brushing her teeth before bed. So as her and I went in to her room for her to climb in to bed, I ( Read more... )

I woke up last night feeling so confused and out of it...like my brain didn't work right. Richard had his arm around me but I thought it was my arm and was freaking out because MY hand was touching his arm but I couldn't feel it so I thought my arm was paralyzed. Of course I couldn't feel it because it wasn't my arm...but for some reason my brain ( Read more... )

Richard and I went to Teagan's preschool parent orientation last night. They basically went over their curriculum and what they do day in, day out in her class. I am officially slightly concerned that Teagan's class is not going to challenge her enough. She already knows so much of what they will be going over (can write her name, draw actual ( Read more... )
