Tru has a great preschool to go to this year. He missed the Kindergarten deadline so Pre-K it is. Miss Tracy is his teacher. He comes home cheerful and excited every MWF to show me his papers. He has made a few friends though he only knows their age (4). This will be a great […]
Today while Jimmy took the 3 boys to free How to Train your Dragon 2 movie, the girlies and Scotty stayed home. We watched some Little House on the Prairie episodes. I totally cried. I even guessed how the episode would end… but did the red-headed Scot papa really have to die? Way too sad. […]
We were so ready to go home on Monday, Labor Day. The nurses discharged us quickly and we eagerly headed off. The kids and Grandma were delighted to have us home. Everyone took turns holding and loving Scotland. Now – to get into a new family routine with 6 kiddos! Aaaaah. I hope we survive. […]
One thing I appreciated at the hospital was peace and quiet. Despite nurses coming in at all hours of the day, it was a different type of noise from what I’m used to at home. I didn’t turn the tv on (well, except when Jimmy watched the BYU game). I just enjoyed the silence. Even […]
Tish & McKensie (left) were the first duo to watch over me on mother/baby floor. Super cheerful & fun to chat with. They loved Baby Scotty & his blonde hair! Scotty was holding his own bottle for Kensie. My night-time nurse for 2 nights was Kelly (not pictured). She loved the signs I had up […]
I am so grateful for each of my children. Each has such great strengths and talents to contribute to our family. It’s interesting to see how everyone interacts (sometimes it’s tricky to get along … sometimes they make it work!). We’re all figuring out the family relationships thing… none of us are perfect, but we’re […]
Our kids came on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday to visit. I know it was hard on Jimmy to drive home, pick up the fam, bring them to the hospital, drive them home, and then often would come back to spend the evening with me and Scotty. But I was so glad to see them. And […]
Friday 29th: Scotty has low blood glucose. They monitored and fed frequently to keep his #s up. Saturday: Breathing is doing great. Blood glucose is great. Passed hearing test. Bilirubin levels are fine. Still not crying… a quiet little soul. Sunday: Was a rough day for mama. Post Baby Hormones crept in and I was […]
Jimmy was with baby in the nursery and I was wheeled into recovery (see that lovely view). A spoonful of ice is like heaven after no water for 11 hours. I was actually feeling pretty well though tired. Major surgery is hard on a body! I called my parents to let them know babe was […]
We arrived at American Fork Hospital at 6:15… for a 7:30 surgery time. Started on i.v. and was asked a million questions. Beautiful gown… and bouffant. Lots and lots of nerves (which means I talk and talk and talk and ask spastic questions). Conversed with Dr. Bean & Nurse Anesthetist Brent. And off we went […]
