AH I can't fall asleep lately, I'm not sure what it is. Maybe since Kaelei isn't in summer school our schedules are all messed up, I don't know. I've been getting headaches too, bad ones. I think my TMJ is acting up too, fun. I can't wait until I get my cortisone injection on Monday... I'll start to feel better around my neck, yes! I am nervous that the injection is in my head though, that is scary. Last time he did one in my spine, directly in it. Thank goodness I didn't know that at the time! Thank goodness he is an AMAZING doctor and I didn't feel a THING! I am so glad I found him. Me being able to overcome my phobia of needles is unbelievable! I never thought I'd be able to get a needle near me again, let alone an injection, let alone in my spine, and then now- I am looking forward to my injections! This doctor has worked wonders for me in more ways than just one, and he has worked on me mentally- obviously in the phobia situation- as well as physically of course. Acupuncture has been a key to me feeling better. I am so glad I have great insurance that covers it. I am very lucky in that sense.
Oh, memories!
I can't believe Kaelei is going to be 5 in a couple weeks. FIVE. Where did that time go?! I remember the night I went into labor with her, doing a little belly dance, writing out thank you notes for my baby shower, and then night, when I felt a little off. Then I vividly remember pushing her, and thinking to myself, "I am going to get this baby OUT!" and then instantly she came out, beautifully crying- telling us in her own way that she had healthy lungs and was breathing. Cuddling her, feeding her, Nathan changing her first diapers... the family time the three of us had. Her first trip to the store, to the pumpkin patch. Her first walk around the block. Her first e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g. OUR first everything with our brand new baby girl! We were awestruck with her, and we learned so much from her. It's not always about your children learning FROM you, WE as parents learn so much FROM our children.
She's FIVE. I think about all of her firsts. All of her accomplishments, from learning her ABC's to spelling her name and counting to 60+. I'm amazed at my baby. She'll always be my baby, my little girl, my sweet, sensitive, caring, passionate, intuitive, beautiful, loving, intelligent, honorable baby Kaelei!
I have been a little stressed planning her birthday party. We let her pick out her theme- she picked Ariel. She's having it at a gymnastics place by us, and I've put a lot into it, between running all over Green Bay to get supplies, searching the internet, doing the invitations which remind me of a wedding with all of the work, ha! I just want her to have a great time, and I know she will. She has such great friends and family surrounding her and loving her always!
Tonight we went to get Kaelei her glasses. She didn't REALLY neeeeeeed them, but we want to try everything before surgery, so we figure- can't hurt, why not! She's a +2, and her vision is actually very good. Darn ambliopia! She looks ADORABLE in her glasses, my goodness, she looks so sophisticated and beautiful. I love it!
Cuddling... I love to hold my babies while they are sleeping and just watch them. They are so peaceful, and when I catch them smiling- that is the best! I love it, knowing they are having good dreams, safe in my arms. They are so warm and soft, my sweet babes! I cannot say enough of how much I love them... words cannot express it!
After K's eye appointment, we let her pick out two toys. She picked out the Tangled horse- Maximus, and Belle and her pink horse, who is nameless... =P She loves them, I played with her earlier and she adores the horses, yay! OH and Daddy saw a huge blow up water slide, so he had to get it for the kids. K saw it while her little sis and bro were sleeping, so she got a special sneak peak. I think they all will LOVE it! I KNOW it! I can't wait until it's tomorrow and they can see it.
I should go to sleep now, I am starting to get sleeeeeeeepppppppyyyyyy! =P
