I MISS REQUIP

Ok so I have been having "episodes" during the day with blackouts, so one of the solutions that Buck has implemented until my bloodwork comes back next week is to take me off Requip. Now mind you, without that drug at night for Restless Leg Syndrome...I practically look like one of those people who has a SERIOUS case of Tourette Syndrome, minus the cussing and foul language. I actually laid down in bed around 8:45p.m. (yes i go to bed the same time as normal 70+ year olds) and by 10:30pm...I was seriously looking for a body of water to jump in and save myself since I was flopping around in the bed like a fish out of water. Now if you or anyone you know has RLS (restless leg syndrome), you will know that it is pure TORTURE to try and go to sleep. I think I gave Buck 3 or 4 charlie horses in the thighs, a black eye (just kidding) and Howard several kicks to the butt, before finally falling asleep somewhere around 2:00 am. I just hope to GOD they will put a rush emergency on my bloodwork because if it comes back that this Requip has been making me have my "episodes" then I'm calling the doctor for a double aputation of my legs!!!

Ella Ray says her name!!!

My baby is growing so fast that I'm having a hard time calling her a "toddler" but I guess that is what she is now!!! She loves to shake people's hands and say "nice to meet you" and now when you ask her "what's your name" she proudly replies "ewwa" .meaning "Ella"...it is by far the cutest things she has ever done......isn't it funny how we try so hard to teach them to grow up and talk and stuff and then you realize it all happens WAY to fast and I constantly find myself thinking "stop growing, your getting too big too fast".....I long for the days when she was a little baby snuggling in my arms............everyone says that once you have a child time flies and boy were they right!!!!!! Here she is with her new camping chair...she LOVES to lounge in it watching her favorite Noggin shows!!!

Ella Ray

Today was the funniest day, I just go home from AL picking up Ella Ray and she is SO SO SO excited to be home...it's like Christmas morning for her. She had been gone a week and missed her things so much. Also, today we stopped having babies friends come over. The situation just didn't work out on both ends and as sad as I was to see them leave, it will be nice to give my daughter back the 100% attention she deserves. She has been such a big helper over the past 2 months. She loved to give the babies their pacifiers, blankets and toys, however she wasn't always the best at sharing her mommy haha! As anyone who truly knows me, she has my quirky, crazy personality and when she wants something, darn it, she's going to get it. So there were days when I had to battle her in sharing her mommy time. Over all, the past 2 months have really taught me a lot about my relationship with Ella Ray and how much time and effort it takes mothers with multiples!!!!! I truly think God gives those who he knows can handle multiple babies, with twins, triplets, etc. I was almost crashing after 3 months haha! I'm thankful for the experiences and lessons, but really ready for the next chapter in my life and with Ella Ray.....she is growing up so fast, I don't want to miss a second of it!!! Take care and kiss your babies, they are so precious to have!
