Arbonne, Arbonne, Arbonne. And with good reason, might I add. ;)</p> <p align="center">I am so, so, so in love with every single product I have used. Let me tell you why I decided to become an Arbonne Consultant.</p> <p align="center">I mentioned in my last post that I’ve been struggling with my skin a lot. It’s a battle still. I have to WORK to have good skin. Once I started using some Arbonne products, I started noticing a difference. My forehead was smoother, my breakouts were less severe. I was finally feeling comfortable with my skin.</p> <p align="center">One night, I told Jon that I was running out of my moisturizers. I told him that my mom had given them to me for Christmas and my birthday and that there were no more Christmases or birthdays coming up anytime soon. We talked a bit and I gushed about how much I loved them and how I couldn’t stop using them. They were working and I didn’t want to mess up my skin. His response, “Why don’t you sell it?”</p> <p align="center">Hmm… why? I couldn’t come up with a reason not to. I decided to email Traci. My mom gets all of her Arbonne products (my mom is Arbonne obsessed!) from Traci, so I figured that’s where I should go. Traci sent me back some info and then asked if I would be willing to chat on the phone a bit. Sure, why not?</p> <p align="center">We did a three-way call with Heather. Heather does very well with Arbonne. Hello, she’s driving a white Mercedes right now. Yes! We chatted for a while and I knew when I hung up that this was the job for me. This is what I need to do. I’m passionate about these products and have a testimony to go along with it. I signed up later that week and cannot wait to get my business going. </p> <p align="center">Now, what you’ve been waiting for, right? My favorite products so far! </p> <p align="center">drumroll please……</p> <p align="center">First up, is the <a href="https://www.arbonne.com/shop_online/showitem.asp?ProductId=481&menuId=56&withLinks=1" target="_blank">Arbonne Intelligence Rejuvenating Cream</a>.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: x-small;">just to keep it visually entertaining.</span></span> </div>

For the last 18 months, since Norah was born, I have struggled with my skin. It's oily when it has always been extremely dry. I'm breaking out like a teenager, but I never broke out as a teenager. It's so embarrassing. I have tried COUNTLESS OTC products. Things would seem to help for a bit, but then it just got out of control again. I would have decent skin for 2 days only to battle another month with it to get two more good days. It's neverending.</div>

I'm a Mary Kay consultant because I love their makeup. I'm thankful for that makeup because for a year and a half, I've needed it every single day. I'd give my skin a makeup break if I were staying home, but had to apply makeup if I left the house. I was so, so, so embarrassed. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In August, I went to a dermatologist. She prescribed a cream used for Rosacea that was also supposed to help acne. I told her multiple times that I was still nursing. She told me I was fine. I believed her. I used it a couple days before I randomly started reading the packaging. There was a section for nursing mothers that concluded with, <em><span style="color: #cc0000;">"Nevertheless, a decision should be made to discontinue nursing or to discontinue the drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother.</span></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Um, what? I immediately stopped using it. Then I thought, if it's not good for baby while breastfeeding, how is it even safe for <em>me</em> period?</div>

This is when I started looking into more natural ways to treat my skin. I even found a local place to buy homemade soap to use. It definitely helped and it was cheap!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="300" src="https://scontent-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfa1/v/t1.0-9/10298886_1473496876201174_2293319951648514970_n.jpg?oh=305d871724c79620dd234c2a2cde0107&oe=555CB7E6" width="400" /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
In the fall, my mom gave me some <a href="https://www.arbonne.com/" target="_blank">Arbonne</a> products. All I knew is they were out of my budget and I used them sparingly. I loved them, but didn't want to fall in love with them and not be able to afford them. ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fast forward to December. My mom gave me some more Arbonne products as a Christmas gift and I began using them daily and nightly. I started noticing a difference in my skin right away. My forehead was getting smooth, my breakouts were not as bad. I became a believer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
January 8th, I decided to challenge myself to drink more water. I decided to drink a gallon a day for an entire month. I think 20 out of the 30 days I drank the full gallon. The other 10 or so days, I drank 3/4+. A lot of water. I was, prior to this, drinking 2 cups of coffee each morning, maybe a glass or 2 of water, and the rest was sweet (not crazy sweet) tea. I'm still not enjoying drinking water, but I am LOVING my skin!</div>

Can you see the difference? Yes, I've still got a ways to go before I'd consider saying I have good skin, but for the first time in 18 months, I'm comfortable with my skin. </div>

I'm still drinking tons of water (this challenge ended Feb 8) and continuing my Arbonne products. I love Arbonne so much! How much? Enough that I believe in the products and have decided to become a consultant. More on that and the products I <i>love</i> in my next post! </div>

That's right, six months. Six months since our little Norah joined our family. That means it's six months until we celebrate her first birthday. Time needs to slow down.</div>

She loves to eat! Not a huge fan of baby food, but wants whatever we are eating. </div>

I finally busted out the pink seamless and girly things and took her six month photos. I couldn't be more in love with them! Now, which ones to print?</div>

Wow, 2014. That's just crazy. Before I post anything new and exciting, let's recap 2013. Shall we?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKRWvUvOfcyXLEEW6hCXkrDAo2s1nTMBmQzjoH2RRYHXnIfg3RgYHTSbjiARBJ3PamO6-Vgc2G4Kt98lnJy7KGrgFQtai-PigyVd-4x2UJLfhoi09kIcH2-GCkehdPnlMDauuycgWM0jI/s1600/christmascardback.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="460" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKRWvUvOfcyXLEEW6hCXkrDAo2s1nTMBmQzjoH2RRYHXnIfg3RgYHTSbjiARBJ3PamO6-Vgc2G4Kt98lnJy7KGrgFQtai-PigyVd-4x2UJLfhoi09kIcH2-GCkehdPnlMDauuycgWM0jI/s640/christmascardback.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>January:</b> We announced we were expecting #3. We all (minus Jon) had a horrific stomach bug, but we lived to tell about it. ;)<br /><b>February:</b> Gavin turned 5! We got a ton of snow and now he thinks it will always snow on his bday. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>March:</b> It's a girl! Words I never thought we'd hear. I'm so glad we did!<br /><b>April</b>: The beginning of t-ball. Oh, t-ball. Gavin is SO good at baseball, but he wasn't a fan of all the standing around. Maybe this year we will do soccer instead.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>May: </b>Big, busy month. My bros graduated (high school and college) and Trey and Carol got married. The little dudes were the cutest ring bearers I've ever seen.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>June:</b> I was beginning to get large and uncomfortable. Went to Columbus for last pre-Norah photo sessions. Snuck in photos of the boys.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>July:</b> HUGE month! First Royals game as a family, soooo hot. Norah was born, surprise! Brock turned three! No big party for him in 2013, but his 4th bday will be a HUGE party!<br /><b>August:</b> Gavin started school. Kindergarten. How is that possible?<br />September: My mom got re-married.<br /><b>October:</b> Pumpkin patch and Halloween! Gavin was Capt. America. Brock was Ironman. Norah was the cutest kitty ever.<br /><b>November:</b> Took a trip to western Kansas to spend Thanksgiving with my gpa. He had a rough year and it was so good to spend some time with him. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>December:</b> Norah's first Christmas! Our elf, Snowball, returned. The kids love searching for him everyday. Don't worry, they still know we celebrate Christmas because baby Jesus was born :)<br /><br />Whew! What a year!<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What will 2014 bring for us? Hopefully it'll just be a good, fun year. No more babies ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My goal for the year is to take out the big camera more and quit relying on the iphone all the time. I still want a new iphone with a better camera though ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Day 2 and I've already stayed on track! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Okay, the first few photos of Norah are from NYE, but I had to share them. She's too cute.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And.... I promise to not make this the blog of Norah. She just happens to be around all the time. </div>

This one is from January 1. Brock stayed up partying with us adults all night NYE. Only one who made it to midnight. So, he fell asleep on the couch at 7:15 the next night. Sweet boy.</div>

The day I knew would come, but hoped it wouldn’t. You know, people really should warn you that babies grow and turn into big kids. </p> <p>Gavin was BEYOND ready for kindergarten. I know he’ll do so well, but I just wasn’t ready to let go. Yes, he was in preschool for 2 years, but this is just different. It is the official start of his school career. From here on out, he will be going to school. He will be growing up. </p> <p>I just can’t believe how fast we went from this</p> <p><img title="2013-08-19_0006" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="2013-08-19_0006" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-qcEOqbDcDOA/UhKonYn4TiI/AAAAAAAAB_U/77s5IScGxq8/2013-08-19_0006%25255B9%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="900" height="603"></p> <p>to this</p> <p><img title="2013-08-19_0007" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="2013-08-19_0007" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-8MjeUxkOGzc/UhKopFJgebI/AAAAAAAAB_c/DO_bXjIPF4o/2013-08-19_0007%25255B4%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="900" height="1346"></p> <p>Oh, Gavin.

You are sacred. You are His. You’re beautiful.”</font></em></p> <p align="left">My whole pregnancy, I had assumed/hoped our baby would come a little early like Brock. I mean, my due date was only a day different from his and he came 3 weeks early. I only hoped we’d get through Brock’s birthday and then she could join our family. She apparently has a mind of her own.</p> <p align="left">On Monday, July 8, I had my 36 week appointment. I’d had a lot of contractions recently and since I dilated early-ish with the boys, I asked my midwife to check me, just for peace of mind. I told her I was prepared for her to say zero progress. That’s when she said, “I wish I could say that. You’re a 5.” I won’t lie, I teared up. I was 36 weeks and one day. Brock’s birthday party was that Saturday. I had plans. I wasn’t ready. I was a little stressed. </p> <p align="left">My midwife then told me to do nothing the rest of the week. She told me if I had to clean for Brock’s party, I needed to have someone else do it. She told me I needed to make it to 37 weeks, the next Sunday. 6 more days. If Norah were to come before 37 weeks, she would have to spend at least 4 hours in the NICU for observation, since she wouldn’t be full term. Obviously, we wanted to avoid NICU time, so after a quick stop at Target for last minute things, I went home to do nothing. </p> <p align="left">Tuesday, I did nothing. I didn’t even shower ;) As I was eating dinner, about 6:30 pm, I started not feeling too well. I wasn’t sure if labor was starting or not, I just felt off. I told Jon I was going to take a shower, get ready, and pack my bags just in case. I did all that and then got in bed with a big cup of water and SVU reruns on USA. That’s when I knew I was for sure having contractions. I kept drinking my water and praying they’d stop. When they weren’t stopping, I called my brother to come hang out with the boys who were in bed. </p> <p align="left">On the way to the hospital, contractions were a little stronger and I knew I was in labor. I cried. I prayed. I was nervous. I wanted her to be healthy. We arrived at the hospital about 10:30. Got all hooked up, contractions 2-3 min apart, but not very strong. I was dilated 6 cm. We were staying. After walking the halls a bit, bouncing around my room, and bouncing on a birthing ball, my contractions picked up. They weren’t very strong, but stronger than they had been. At 3 am, they broke my water to get things moving. I was still having contractions every couple minutes, but not strong. I was dilated 7 cm. </p> <p align="left"><img title="2013-08-13_0002" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; display: block; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="2013-08-13_0002" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-1LFDFj1TZ98/UgpjTJxJaXI/AAAAAAAAB9U/Xww7h_c0yMc/2013-08-13_0002%25255B4%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="950" height="475"></p> <p align="left">At 4:20 am, I felt my first painful contraction. The first one I had to really breathe through. By 4:30 am (7-8 cm), I was second guessing my choice to try to not get an epidural. I knew she was going to have to spend time in the NICU (hopefully just 4 hours), so I didn’t want to be numb for hours like I was after having Brock. I wanted to be able to go see her. I kept telling Jon I couldn’t do it. The contractions were strong and I was really hurting. At 4:40 am, I told them I had to push. At 4:51 am, after 30 minutes of hard labor, Norah Faith entered the world. </p> <p align="left">Norah Faith DePratt, 5 lbs. 10.9 oz., 18.25 inches.

After they checked her out, I got to hold her, skin to skin, for a while before she was taken to the NICU. I had to stay in recovery for 2 hours, so I made Jon go with her. He texted me updates. She was grunting a lot due to transition issues. Basically, she wasn’t in the birth canal long enough to get all the junk squeezed out of her and she was also a little premature. Jon told me she was singing (grunting) in the NICU <3 </p> <p align="left"><img title="2013-08-13_0004" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; display: block; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="2013-08-13_0004" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/---Pzsklfxd8/UgpjU7vD64I/AAAAAAAAB9k/0DllhRKC7gU/2013-08-13_0004%25255B4%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="950" height="952"><img title="2013-08-13_0005" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; display: block; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="2013-08-13_0005" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-3jUKGqxiTbc/UgpjVmBda5I/AAAAAAAAB9s/0oXJr7rhcLY/2013-08-13_0005%25255B4%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="950" height="672"><img title="2013-08-13_0006" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; display: block; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="2013-08-13_0006" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-Dfp4poENhk8/UgpjWYl1IGI/AAAAAAAAB90/xO_VmtRcxmE/2013-08-13_0006%25255B10%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="418" height="900"></p> <p align="left">As soon as I was allowed out of recovery, I made the nurse take me to the NICU.

After 18 hours of grunting, the NICU team decided to help her out. They had sucked all of the fluid out that they could, now her body just needed to absorb it. Her body was working hard, so they put her under an oxygen hood to help her out. She was on room air almost the whole time she was under it. They also started her on IV fluids because they weren’t feeding her yet. Eating would make her work too hard and they didn’t want her to get too tired. After she was done with the oxygen hood, they started her on an ng tube. Again, they didn’t want her to nurse or drink from a bottle yet because her little body was still a bit tired from working hard the day before. So, I pumped and she got a bit of formula. Eventually, she was eating everything by mouth and got the IV and ng tube removed. (I think it was late Friday night/early Saturday morning)</p> <p align="left"><img title="2013-08-13_0013" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; display: block; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="2013-08-13_0013" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-Q9CWfL7pIbA/UgpjZc1Kn-I/AAAAAAAAB-U/-74Rtv-w1o0/2013-08-13_0013%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="635" height="950"></p> <p align="left"><img title="2013-08-13_0009" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; display: block; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="2013-08-13_0009" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-C4B9BOEleMg/UgpjaN7E83I/AAAAAAAAB-c/O6IT_NyDM8A/2013-08-13_0009%25255B4%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="950" height="952"><img title="2013-08-13_0010" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; display: block; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="2013-08-13_0010" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-hqUKxMaqoNA/UgpjbHvIZJI/AAAAAAAAB-k/gM1hDpTGiBM/2013-08-13_0010%25255B4%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="950" height="710"><img title="2013-08-13_0011" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; display: block; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="2013-08-13_0011" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-5WbVY7q4ADo/UgpjcPsD-pI/AAAAAAAAB-s/SrSuoKddBaU/2013-08-13_0011%25255B5%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="758" height="950"><img title="2013-08-13_0015" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; display: block; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="2013-08-13_0015" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-fL5HVtZfftc/UgpjckFJbhI/AAAAAAAAB-0/9i_4jx3jjbg/2013-08-13_0015%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="950" height="321"></p> <p align="left">We were finally able to go home on Sunday afternoon.

B preferred the sand, so we played in the shade. <img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" border="0" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5197/7389394550_d6d783ebb4_z.jpg"></p> <p>Before we left, I got out the camera to get some photos of the boys with their dad and papa and photos of my brother and me with our dad. </p> <p><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="webIMG_0208" border="0" alt="webIMG_0208" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-KAqRpD0f-pA/T-NEpXfdaHI/AAAAAAAAB38/Qm65NWlqNak/webIMG_0208%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="400" height="600"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="webIMG_0209" border="0" alt="webIMG_0209" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-t4HPCyHv5MY/T-NEp3ViRxI/AAAAAAAAB4E/yMRqung7Neg/webIMG_0209%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="900" height="600"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="webIMG_0211" border="0" alt="webIMG_0211" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-1ETuYgDosiU/T-NEqdhkDrI/AAAAAAAAB4M/qrKs6JtTreY/webIMG_0211%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="900" height="600"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="webIMG_0218" border="0" alt="webIMG_0218" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-pQTr_cGEYzc/T-NErBkohqI/AAAAAAAAB4U/he5W9D79j8c/webIMG_0218%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="900" height="600"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="webIMG_0223" border="0" alt="webIMG_0223" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-BxWMPK8lGEg/T-NErybNPpI/AAAAAAAAB4c/wcgXQgWBZRk/webIMG_0223%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="900" height="600"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="webIMG_0226" border="0" alt="webIMG_0226" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-pD4q4EtlrUw/T-NEsSzJQyI/AAAAAAAAB4k/Oo8kkZ-LiBE/webIMG_0226%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="400" height="600"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="webIMG_0229" border="0" alt="webIMG_0229" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-WknrybK-Oic/T-NEtHYgF6I/AAAAAAAAB4s/w4gYk8WHMfc/webIMG_0229%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="400" height="600"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="webIMG_0231" border="0" alt="webIMG_0231" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-askbmjBP9gU/T-NEtu73EiI/AAAAAAAAB40/v2bNJsN7px0/webIMG_0231%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="400" height="600"></p> <p>I’m so very thankful for these two dads. I truly don’t know what I’d do without them.</p> <p>To Jon. Thank you for being such an amazing dad to our boys. I honestly don’t think God could have given me anyone more perfect. You work all day and come home and just take over with the boys. You were made to be a dad. I love you more.</p> <p>To my dad. Words can’t describe how thankful I am for you. I’m so blessed that our relationship over the last few years has grown the way it has. I love that any time we need you, you’re here without hesitation. I couldn’t ask for a better papa for my boys. They truly think you’re the best! I love you, dad.</p> Heather D.http://www.blogger.com/profile/12435819012666463138noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704219373777158230.post-11185290231967210232012-05-08T09:30:00.001-05:002012-05-08T09:52:22.702-05:00Happy Easter (just a little late)<p>I’m finally getting around to posting the boys’ Easter photos.

It all began at the end of May last year. B had what we thought was a stomach bug. Basically, (here’s the TMI) he was having several runny diapers a day. He had a stomach bug about 5 months before that, so we knew to try to wait it out again, do the BRAT diet, and start probiotics. At 2 weeks, I called the pedi. the told us to give it one more week and call them again. At 3 weeks, we called them back. This is when the testing began. We had to collect stool samples (nearly impossible due to the wateryness and totally disgusting!). They tested him for just about everything you can think of. Everything came back normal. </p> <p>This is when we first learned that Celiac Disease could be the cause. While we waited for a GI appointment and later some scopes, we switched him to a gluten free diet. It seemed to help, so we stuck with it. His diapers were not normal, but not nearly as bad as they had been. At 15 months old, B went in for a colonoscopy and an endoscopy. Again, everything came back normal. So, we reintroduced gluten and dairy. Didn’t make problems worse, but didn’t make them better either. </p> <p>We’ve been to the GI doc twice since November and everything, according to her, is pointing to toddler/functional diarrhea. Basically, he’s just going to have the poops until he outgrows it. Could be soon, could be a few years. Right now, we’re waiting on him to turn 2 and then planning on testing for food allergy/sensitivities. I just want to rule out EVERYTHING before we say, “Fine, it’s just something weird he’ll outgrow….” </p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-TAqK3EnAVlA/T1pxx4HvYtI/AAAAAAAAByg/4RShKNQcjLk/s1600-h/IMG_7435-2%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_7435-2" border="0" alt="IMG_7435-2" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-PeEOxotygXg/T1pxylsle9I/AAAAAAAAByo/ubjrmgEqaHQ/IMG_7435-2_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="900" height="600"></a></p> <p>Well, we are very happy (can’t you tell?) to report that for the past 4 days, B has had solid poos!! 4 straight days. Now, this could be a fluke and they could go back to disgusting at any moment, but for now, I’m taking it as answered prayers. I will continue to pray that we get it all straightened out, though. #1. It can’t be fun to have yucky diapers all the time and #2. This mama does not even want to think about potty training while he has bad poos! </p> <p>For now, I just wanted to share the excitement. I know some of you were waiting an update.

The temperature has dropped dramatically! aaaaaaaaaaaand, we have snow!! This morning I took the boys out (it was 16 degrees. Hi, I’m mother of the year) to play in the snow. Brock’s first time to play in snow :) We only stayed out for a few minutes. Just until I thought I saw their snot freezing and their cheeks got red.</p> <p>Brock, at first, just kept circling my car. He was having a hard time walking and wasn’t too sure about the snow. </p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPd81o3l-noQqv0gxgP1tksR43kPGNAvJRGS3TichOdrhQrQNvLtQTOX0sIGuYerBn7nGhfsKshjO8aSmm0ciL9XXwqC4U0u7byRyNqVe3K5x_PEodQZvet8FT3uWk99dByHo2axw1j5k/s1600-h/IMG_6007%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_6007" border="0" alt="IMG_6007" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-WkewlOrw0DE/Tw80jtiEQYI/AAAAAAAABsY/EZFrHjUY99Q/IMG_6007_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="300" height="450"></a><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-z9FwPUc42Jw/Tw80kM8O7gI/AAAAAAAABsg/iKYjIEKVNhc/s1600-h/IMG_6009%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_6009" border="0" alt="IMG_6009" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-1BPVGKim9Q8/Tw80kXLBWAI/AAAAAAAABso/o8cJ1SEyyQU/IMG_6009_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="300" height="450"></a><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-a881dLc7CGU/Tw80knsHMwI/AAAAAAAABsw/J13JSmTEHHg/s1600-h/IMG_6014%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_6014" border="0" alt="IMG_6014" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-dz2rd_b2AnM/Tw80k2s2r-I/AAAAAAAABs4/G60O7jrQdOE/IMG_6014_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="300" height="450"></a></p> <p>Gav is a snow lover!

I’ve been super lazy lately when it comes to photos. Brock refused to look at the camera for the most part. That should be fun when I do his 18 month photos soon! ;)</p> <p>So, while the boys were contained, I snapped some photos. </p> <p>Brock’s brown eyes are so different to photograph than Gavin’s blue eyes.

Since I failed at the 365 project last year, I decided to do something different and maybe more fun this year. A 52 week project. A friend of mine started a FB Page – <a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo52abc" target="_blank">Photo 52: ABCs</a>. Basically, it’s a photo a week with a corresponding letter. We’ll go through the alphabet twice. I plan on turning mine into ABC books for the boys.

Basically 5-6 weeks of disgusting diapers. The doc ran a bunch of tests and they all came back fine. She told us that she wanted to run a Celiac panel on him to check for Celiac Disease. People with Celiac Disease have to be on gluten free diets, so after the doc took his blood we put him on a gluten free (GF) diet. Within 24-48 hours of going GF, we started noticing a huge improvement in his diapers (poo). That next week, I thought that maybe it was a coincidence that his diapers cleared up about the same time we went GF, so I gave him food with gluten. Big mistake!! So, the rest of summer (Since beginning of July) he has been o a GF diet. I wouldn’t say is poo is “normal” but definitely way, way, way better than before. The Celiac panel came back negative, but it can be negative and he could still have Celiac disease. The only true way to test is by a biopsy of part of the intestine.</p> <p>August 15th, we went to a GI doc who we were referred to by our pedi. The doc was at Children’s Mercy here in KC and she was FABULOUS! I can’t say enough good things about that place. She checked him all out and took in all of his medical history. I told her all about his breathing/asthma issues. She listened to his breathing which was normal that day. She noticed he had dark circles under his eyes and asked how long they’d been there. Um, always?! She also asked about eczema, which I told her he does get some patches now and then. She said that all of these things combined leads her to believe that there is some allergy. Just what? She took some stool samples while we were there and also ran another Celiac Panel. All of these tests came back normal as well. </p> <p>For now, he’s on a dairy free and GF diet. He drinks soy milk right now. Once we determine that he does okay with the soy, we’ll re-introduce whole milk and see how he does. If he does well with the whole milk, we will try to re-introduce gluten into his diet. If every time we introduce gluten he has issues, then we’ll talk about doing the biopsy. Fun, huh? We still have no real answers, but the dairy free and GF diet is working for us, so I’m not too worried. </p> <p>No blog post is complete without photos, so here are some recents of Brock :)</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-Ca4na18fxhk/TlVLnYRKNoI/AAAAAAAABXA/UeDxfyAXCHY/s1600-h/IMG_0994%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_0994" style="border-right: 0px; padding-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; background-image: none; border-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="236" alt="IMG_0994" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-oKVwSxvbu5g/TlVLnuMqG7I/AAAAAAAABXE/o2NS7KqTiEA/IMG_0994_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="352" border="0"></a><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-Kzj272tZjvs/TlVLoPJbacI/AAAAAAAABXI/3_qY8_il2mw/s1600-h/IMG_0996%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_0996" style="border-right: 0px; padding-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; background-image: none; border-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="236" alt="IMG_0996" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-e8RDT7Gf0UU/TlVLoqXRTkI/AAAAAAAABXM/6TJnpZQRifU/IMG_0996_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="352" border="0"></a><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-IhxqBq4wKFU/TlVLpVGz9SI/AAAAAAAABXQ/Il7llr6FPEI/s1600-h/IMG_1006%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_1006" style="border-right: 0px; padding-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; background-image: none; border-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="471" alt="IMG_1006" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-RyzvGjMkSkY/TlVLp20SqxI/AAAAAAAABXU/ZrimFmcJJoI/IMG_1006_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="704" border="0"></a><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-4xO4lmowAog/TlVLqok89zI/AAAAAAAABXY/mxXIRCuWzqc/s1600-h/IMG_1008%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_1008" style="border-right: 0px; padding-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; background-image: none; border-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="471" alt="IMG_1008" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-974cR5O5VU8/TlVLrMREBeI/AAAAAAAABXc/dVHmAZwmCb8/IMG_1008_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="704" border="0"></a><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-G90Hslxk5gY/TlVLrkthGPI/AAAAAAAABXg/7JRf3JLp9hk/s1600-h/IMG_1014%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_1014" style="border-right: 0px; padding-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; background-image: none; border-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="529" alt="IMG_1014" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-DrMLVNWim4E/TlVLt8cIhmI/AAAAAAAABXk/SbZz165pmKA/IMG_1014_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="354" border="0"></a><br><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-IGG6XN6n9Tw/TlVLuaEMmLI/AAAAAAAABXo/gQAtQTVkJ4Y/s1600-h/IMG_1017%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_1017" style="border-right: 0px; padding-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; background-image: none; border-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="529" alt="IMG_1017" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-k5u4wyPeEdw/TlVLu0BWceI/AAAAAAAABXs/mw5AWHjq1-E/IMG_1017_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="354" border="0"></a><br><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-yDYcTZJ5K4E/TlVLx09JK1I/AAAAAAAABXw/8HyvElE1Tc4/s1600-h/IMG_1019%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_1019" style="border-right: 0px; padding-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; background-image: none; border-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="236" alt="IMG_1019" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-itVNjMgTRnE/TlVLyC0l_fI/AAAAAAAABX0/LOUt13LoMWs/IMG_1019_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="352" border="0"></a><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-v6efW6pyc4o/TlVWPNwBslI/AAAAAAAABX4/nlk3nn6jxBU/s1600-h/IMG_1020%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_1020" style="border-right: 0px; padding-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; background-image: none; border-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="236" alt="IMG_1020" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-ynXMwDWhfeQ/TlVWPQZmZ8I/AAAAAAAABX8/qyQldwOujp4/IMG_1020_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="352" border="0"></a><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-Mppand-Hg4s/TlVWP_XCagI/AAAAAAAABYA/KbdS3NKlFCQ/s1600-h/IMG_1025%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_1025" style="border-right: 0px; padding-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; background-image: none; border-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="471" alt="IMG_1025" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/--TyJ4Uat5vE/TlVWQSuQhzI/AAAAAAAABYE/TA4HwKJ1HJQ/IMG_1025_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="704" border="0"></a></p> Heather D.http://www.blogger.com/profile/12435819012666463138noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704219373777158230.post-77188551191214704042011-08-24T13:43:00.001-05:002011-08-24T13:43:12.801-05:00Summer is coming to an end…<p>Now that Gavin has started school, I can feel Summer coming to an end.

Gavin started preschool today. It’s so crazy! He’ll always be my baby, but he’s growing up so fast! I have been so nervous waiting for this day, my skin looks like I’m 15 again! Since the first day is over, I think we can call it a success! He had fun, I think. He did try to take one of the cars from the class, but we took it back in ;) He didn’t know he was doing anything wrong until I told him. I only got a few photos of the day because I was nervous and rushed ;) </p> <p>I saw this on <a href="http://www.pinterest.com" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> this morning and HAD to do it.
