Splash Town june 2013

As a prize for finishing school and doing so well we took hayden to splash town. He wanted hadley to join. So we all went. Hadleyb woke me that morning about anbinch from my face band her yelling "splash town today"
Haydeb did all the rides he was tall enough for. While on space rapids he flipped out of his tube and he said "I'm big but that's for bigger kids" the loved leaky pipes and the pirate section. Both hated the wave pool when waves were going. Hayden tried to drown me. Hadley was scared of most slides but did do a few with mommy and daddy and one with hayden.  
The best part is we ran into brians brother, wife and the neices . The kids had a blast together. Best family day we has in a while. Kids love water just like their momma ♥

Hayden update!,

Hayden is almost 5 as he says! :) he started pre-k in thw fall. He loves it. His teacher brought to.out attention that he was lip reading and could not hear if not facing you. That brought alor of  things ro our attention. His speach, his atrwntuon span, his grabbing your face to look at him when talking to him.
So we took him in for his hearing test. He had 95/85% hearing loss due to middle ear issues from a broken nose causeing mucus drainage to build up. That new broke my heart as a monny to hear this.
We  started nasal steroids to dry up the mucus. It worked. He was hearing better, not great but better. Only problem was insomnia. The child has sleep issues as it is. With the medicine it was keeping.him awake till 6 am with meletonin. Poor fella. Our next option was tubes.
We really could not afford it. Would be close to 2 grand. So.we tried changing medicine time and dosage. Nothing worked and Hayden slowly became mean and hateful and not sleeping. So Brian and I sat down and talked. We both cried. We didnt know.what to do. But we prayed hard and talked with hayden and decidEd to stop the meds and save for the.surgery. Then we got a letter saying insurance would cover the Surgery! We were so happy, but short lived. We later got a call saying we woukd need 3 grand as a deposit. I criex so hard then prayed then called my dad. Anything for my son. We have been working on ASK but if I could help him hear I wanted to. So pawpaw Lent us the money! Thank God!
Hayden had the Surgery. He had a ruff few days. He begged for his old ears back and woukd cry when people talked. But a few days later he was doing well. He was talking better and being silly. I do miss.hearing "I love you eating!" He.doesnt say it anynore. We may never know what it meant. But I LOVE seeing his face light up to new sounds as he hears something and says "you hear that momma. I hear tbat" crickets wad a rememberable favorite. He was so happy.
He has adjusted great surgery was January it is now April. He is thriving in school and is talking so mucb and clear. He lives documentaries. We took him to the natural science museum and boy did he have a blast. He love dinosaurs and  sceince. Such a smart boy.
He still has off days and we have to make sure he ia looking at us. Or when in large groups we have to sign because.he gets over whelmed and cant concentrate enough to process all the sounds. He passes his hearing  test at 50% & 65% not the best but so perfect and  blessing for sure. God is great!

Sick babies!

Been awhile since I posted. Have a  preschooler and a toddler keeps me on my toes. Ill do an update post soon!
But for now. This momma needa to vent. Sick babies for going on 3 Weeks now! With myself sick in the middle. First Hadley had a bacterial infection, onlt symptoms was fever and her complaining of back pain. Her kidneys started shutting down because she was not drinking. we had antibiotics and shots and er  visits. Then a week later momma was sick. Then after 2 days if ni one sick Hayden wakes up vomiting at 2 am. Then Wednesday its Hadley's turn at 5 am. I have seriously not slept in like 3 Weeks. I dont want tk catch this bug. Been lysoling as I pray. I just go room to room and Lysol.and prat and wash everything anyone  touches. "aint none got time for that" is exactly how I feel. Blaaaaah.
I can not take cleaning any more poop or vomit. I cant even count how many times in 4 days! Plus sleep would be nice. Very nice actually.
So tomorrow I get a Mommies night out. Daddy is gonna watch the kids and Kami and I and my mom are going to drink and.watch The Host. I cant not wait. I am so ready!
Well I feel a bit better!

Terrible 2s and 4s?

Life with a toddler is hard and it is even harder with a almost 4 yr old. Hadley is into everything and has so much attitude and an opinion on everything. She is a climber and that is driving me crazy. She can literally climb walls. I am exhausted lately. Trying to keep up with them is starting to take a toll on me. And the NEVER nap. Working on starting the day earlier in hopes that it helps. Also going to start doing says were we take Hayden OR Hadley to do something. I am hoping this helps or maybe when Hayden starts Pre-K. I just know It is getting hard to keep up.
Hayden is throwing 2 yr old fit and hitting and saying "no" and back mouthing. He has even bite the last few days. And all day all i hear is "mama this and mama that" I think he needs more attention but that is hard with chasing Hadley and being on top of her. She is still nursing too so she gets mommy time that way. They both have had issues with sharing me Brian and I. They seem to think we are not the others mommy or daddy.
But enough negative! Hadley is getting big! she loves playing baby dolls, she feeds them, lays them down for naps, wraps them in blankets, rocks them and kisses them! it is cute! she is also into dress up. she loves wearing everyone's cloths and shoes. Especially Hayden's undies and shoes lol. Hayden is still into monster trucks. Although he has become infatuated with transformers :) it is cute when he says "transformers robots in disguise" <3
Brian has started a new job, better pay and better location. It has been nice having him home around 4 and not6/7 :) I am doing great with scentsy! I love it it is so much fun. I take my CPR instructor class in July and i absolutely can not wait! I am so excited! With that said it reminds me i need to take some online course from AMT for my MA license lol. Ill get on that tomorrow :)

Hadley turned ONE!

so this is late. But my Princess turned one! I can not believe it. She had a perfect birthday party with friends and family! her them was lady bugs and she rocked it lol.
She is still currently nursing and co sleeping. We are working on weaning co sleeping, but i will let her wean breastfeeding. She is a walking talking toot. Her favorite word is "no" and "uh oh" and recently she has started saying "more" for please and "whoa whao whao" lol She is a climber, she clims EVERYTHING. Literally. I can not turn my back to her. Its hard to clean or pee without her climbing something. *hints why blog hasnt been updated lately*
Hayden is maturing so much. He has become my little man. He has calmed down alot. Not so hyper anymore. We have taken sugars and red food dye and such from his diet. seems to help. Playdates help alot too. He has found Jesus. Yes my 3 yr ol has found Jesus. He prays to him daily, multiple times and talks about Jesus and LOVES Jesus music. He is such an amazing kid. He is talking so much and is obsessed with monster trucks, Going to Start him a Youtube channel of him doing his monster truck thing. He knows everythign about them. HE saw them live in January!
I am currently learning who my true friends are. This is a lesson no one wants to learn the hard way but I have. Honestly family is all I trust and I can count my real friends on one hand. and I dont need the whole hand.
Thats our update for now. Oh we do have a DUCK! hahahaha <3

Worst day of my life

November 8 at approximately 7 pm my life changed forever. I heard my husband yell "Amiee come here!"I ran to the bedroom to find my daughter solid blue and my husband trying to do the Heimlich on her. I quickly took her and realized her lungs were full of water and she was stiff as a board. I turned around to lay her on the floor and felt the life of my disappear. During this my husband is yelling about how to call 911. I yelled at him "Honey she is not breathing, pick up the phone and dial 9-1-1! ". I immediately started chest compressions while praying to God to not take her from me. Finally after about 45 sec she started to cough and throw up water. At this point my son is confused and asking a million questions. I just gave her another breathe and did more compressions as i saw her slowly turn to a pale white. She throw up more water and pooped. She opened her eyes just a crack and I sat there on my knees starring at my sweet baby girl. That is when I started talking to the 911 operator and my neighbor Pam showed up. She sat next to me and helped with the Hayden and Brennen. It seemed like it took forever for the ambulance to arrive, but about 4 min after itstarted they walked into my doors. She had had been breathing on her own for about 2 min and was extremely 'out of it' I was just so gratful to see her breathing. And praying she had no perminate damage. At the hospital she continued to breath on her own and as doing great. They did a chest x-ray that revealed fluid in her lungs. Then she throw up again. They wanted to send us to Texas Children's downtown because they usually get worse before they get better and downtown has more equipment. I had not cried yet and I felt like the worst mother in  the world. I could not even look at her face because every time I did I saw her blue swollen face. I did hold her in between her aunt Sara, my momma, her daddy and her grampa. I just could not look at her face. I just played with her hand. Finally we were transferred to downtown. On the way there I was so afraid she would get worse in route. She did have major oxygen decrease and they had to give her oxygen but she over came that when she was woken up. She even spiked a fever. Which she had been doing every night for about 4 days. In the ICU room she did great. She went for another X-ray and kept saying "bye bye". This x-ray revealed NO water in her lungs. Thank GOD! The doctor that came in and talked to us. Told us they suspect a seizure based off of her recent history with fevers and the fact that she was so stiff when she was taken from the bath tub. They said that also explains the massive amounts of water for just a few secs under water. She was doing so well that around 330 am she was moved to the observation unit instead of ICU. She was sleeping so well. Mommy was not. Every time I closed my eyes I saw her face and started to relive the past evening in my head. Finally I feel asleep around 430. Which is when my sister called me with my son having a night terror. Broke my heart, but he was in great hands. Aunt Sara is awesome. The next day she did great. No fluid in her lungs, no fever, no brain damage, no breathing difficulties. She beat the statistics and only got better. She was her typical silly Hadley self. Showed no signs of how horrible her night was. I still felt like a horrible mother because I had not cried. But I did cry the second I walked into my bedroom. I needed to take a shower and cried the whole time being in the place where it all happened. I could not fall asleep in my bed. Finally I did, but from pure exhaustion. The next day I could not bring myself to walk in there unless I was busy. My heart races when I go in there. I hate it. I did not sleep in there the second night. I just could not do it. We shall see about tonight :/ My dad told me to not view this event as a bad event. It was a BLESSING. God /gave me the strength and held my hands as I did CPR on my baby girl. And he is right. I felt God with each and every compression. I have decided that I will become a CPR instructor and teach EVERYONE CPR. Also I am going to bring awareness to the fact that CPR saves. Iwant to make a law that says ALL PARENTS MUST BE CPR CERTIFIED IN ORDER TO TAKE A BABY HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL.Every second counts. With that I am going ot go hold my baby girl and she nurses! <3
