I knew I would remember something else to post!!
My uncle sent the boys each $50 gift cards for Target! These will really come in handy Grady can get a toy and some clothes. Alex maybe an xbox game and clothes AND Gary said he knows what he wants to buy! He said a Nintendo DS game.. I asked what are you going to do with the other $20?? He said "I am buying more underwear!" lol His encopresis is getting better and less accidents and he is happy to get underwear!! HAHAHA

Last post of 2005
Well unless I get some bug up my butt and post a few more times hehe
I would hope to post something profound maybe so amazing reflections of the past year? And you know what ? I have nothing!
We have had a great 2005. We had a wonderful beautiful baby boy, bought a house dh has been home the majority of the year we are all healthy and happy. Life is good to be honest.
I have no major political statements to make. No comments on world events at this point. I do not make resolutions either.
So all you get is me wishing you all a VERY happy new year and may you have the very best year with happy times ahead

I love that kid
DS#2 and I were talking...as we do A LOT haha. He told me something that melted my heart. He said "Mom I am so glad I am a member of this family. I am glad I was born to you" Of course he followed that up with "you all are crazy, but in a fun way"
He also brought up the adoption thing today. He said he still wants to ne the big brother a baby around Grady's age though 'would be fair'

Grady's favorite foods
Grady has been on a taste testing tour of his world.
He has some favorites ...this week HAHA
He just tried this Yobaby stuff and LOVED it. He loves beans. He likes the fact that he can pick it up and feed himself. Black and Kidney beans seem to be the most favorite. Steamed baby carrots, and Yams (then cubed). Pollenta cooled molded and cubed and red beans and rice and yes he likes it spicy!!! What is up with the spicy thing? haha

Can we do this??
Things are seriously looking like dh will be leaving us for a year. The orders for this area are just not there. Seriously non exsistant.
I tell him the boys and I will follow him to whatever far reaches of the world we get sent to, wherever he has to pick orders to. He seems insistant on not wanting to uproot the boys from their schools or move out of or sell this house.
So the option? One year unaccompanied. If I look at it this way 2003 we were apart almost the entire year. Not too much different right? Hopefully he would be in a place where we could fly in to visit once or twice and/or vice versa.
Is our marriage strong enough. I would think so. I think we love each other to make it through. Respect and trust each other. Am I strong enough to do this with however many children we have at the time? I would think so. Will the kids be resentful of him? I would hope not.
This is just an option I was hoping not to have to face. Not it looks like it will become a reality.
Who knows if he gets advanced will the options be the same? worse? UGH
Good thing we have good medical I swear I am not far off from an ulcer.

Went on a hike
You know when you are a kid and you are bouncing off the walls and your parents tell you to go take a hike? Yeah well we did that today. With no school and some scetchy weather we have been indoors. I finally said that is enough and said lets get out of here. We had a little break in the weather so we drove the few miles to the state park. Took the dogs and the kids and went for a hike

At the end of our hike we finally made it all the way down to the beach. This is Little Gary On the beach

The Many faces of Grady
After he ate a piece of fruit, black beans and a cracker so he is a bit messy ;)
Grady telling Mom he wants UP
Grady saying "OOOOOOO" when I wouldn't pick him up....Imagine the tone of "oooooo you are in trouble!"
Mom is funny
Forget funny! Mom is hillarious!

I wish
We were at the point we could adopt having our homestudy and all completed. I would in a heartbeat ask to be considered for These boys
Liking this sleep thing
Grady has been sleeping through the night again for awhile now. (I am probably jynxing this haha)
But since he has been sleeping through it has shown through in his attitude. He is back to my happy energetic little boy. His big full mouth smiles oh man they warm my heart. He is such a sweet loving FUN little boy. He is everything I dreamed of. He loves his brothers too BUT will get VERY vocal if they do not let him do what he wants or if they crowd him too much. He thinks it is HILLARIOUS to take off at full speed and giggle when you say "I'm going to get you". And he is an adrennaline junkie like his older brother was. He LOVES to be thrown in the air and tossed back and forth.
He is also nearing a year old... A YEAR!! Less than 2 months people!! It saddens me a little things are going too darn quick
Soon he will be a year old. Dh and I have been talking about weaning him. WEANING!!! OMG! no way! It seems too soon. I will breastfeed AT LEAST a year possibly more. But if I have to go on meds for treatment I may have to wean closer to a year Sigh.
I just want them to stay smaller longer

All I wanted
Was a simple referral! Just one lousy referral. How hard can that be right?
Well Our insurance being what it is, not many place will take it. They really do not pay much nowhere close to the total bill. Well Our insurance insists that not ONE reproductive endocronologist in this state is covered not one!
UGH!!!! Do we either go completely out of pocket or try to get in at the military hospital. We chose the military hopsital about 100 miles away.
I swear I am waiting for my husband to give up on this whole thing, Want to trade me in on a non defective wife or just run away screaming.
Anyway we are waiting on word on the referral hoping they will take us in. Otherwise who knows where we will go from here

I'm cracking up here
The boys are spoiled yeah we know that ;)
This year Gary got a Nintendo DS Alex has sole custody of the new Xbox today (though it is a present for the whole family). I got Hubby the Atari fashback system. the one with ALL the old games with terrible graphics. Soooo which one do they ALL want to play? yup you guessed it the Atari HAHA
I think it is so funny. A kickback to the old school... pong, pole position etc. Ahh well everybody is happy :)
Gradyman had a great first Christmas. He got bored opening presents and didn't want to get off of his riding toy. He is taking a well deserved nap right now.
I got an upgrade... no not a new husband-he told me no exchanges, refunds or upgrades before we got married hehe. I got a new motherboard, processor, video card and memory.

So we are innocently watching a movie
upstairs.... I think I hear the doorbell... nah I write it off as movie background noise.... Then I SWEAR I hear a knock at the door... yup someone is at the door. Dh heads on downstairs and hmmm he doesn't come back up for awhile. I then catch a glimpse of Red flashing lights in the bathroom window!!!
I grab Grady and head downstairs thinking OMG the fire department at OUR door What is wrong?!!?!?!
I get downstairs to see The fire truck and ambulance from up road.... decked out in Christmas lights and Santa sitting on top!!!! They were going all through the neighborhood handing out candy canes and presents to the kids!
Grady and I got down there after the two older boys got their things so we stood on the porch watching the truck go and then come back up our road. Grady loves looking at the lights :) Next thing I hear is "WOAH stop wait a minute" The trucks stopped and out runs one of the firefighters with a present for Grady :) He said he couldn't forget the little man! hehehe
This was so cool. Love the small town friendly thing they have here :)

Tis the season
Everything here is going GREAT. I cannot wait for Christmas :)
Now I just need someone to cook and clean for me. Who am I kidding? I love to cook... now the cleaning I wouldn't mind someone doing that for me hehehe
Some new video/pictures are uploaded here Drop Shots
Grady now has TWO teeth :) He still has that congestion hanging on. The vaporizer is working wonders.
It looks like I may have to reschedule my appointment for this Thursday. Not a huge deal but the referral doesn't seem like it will get entered in time.
My cold is getting better. I actually spent an ENTIRE day in bed. That is how sick I got.
Anyway miniman is down for his morning nap. The boys are busy. I guess I COULD get some stuff done before dh gets home.
So I am off of here

Grrr
Can I just say that I am sooo done dealing with this mortgage company? I mean seriously it has been almost what 3 months? They are STILL not crediting our payments correctly they are STILL showing us a month behind and are STILL assessing late fees!!
Just so I put it out there we have NEVER missed a payment nor have we ever been late in a payment.
I got ahold of a woman today who looked at the account and promptly put me on hold. Why? because she got ahold of her supervisor immediately. I did not have to demand to speak to a supervisor. I did not have to insist they send me to someone who has a clue.
She said it will be resolved within 48 hours. I WILL be getting a call no waiting on a letter. Though one will be sent. SHE will personally follow up on it. Also all late charges will be reversed and the report to the credit bureaus will AGAIN be reversed.
UGH the calling and talking with people and going over an issue that needs to be resolved long ago is a pain in the rear.

My husband
You know I do my very best to make sure there is special time for my husband and myself. Just taking a little time to say hey I love you. No matter how many kids, how many stressors are around or how busy we get, there is always US time.
I just hope he realizes that he is special to me and I love him very much even though some days I may not say it enough.

Sigh-- ok not really it is good news honest
After waiting an hour to see this doctor, It was as I suspected.
He had me run down my history. He then said he didn't want to waste my time with things that have been tried and failed before. I got referred to another doctor, a reproductive specialist.
So dh and I will go to that appointment next Thursday.
I am kind of ticked though. I now fall into that "if you are over 30" category. Boooo lol So because of my history of infertility, losses and now... AGE. I do not have to wait a year of trying before seeking treatment. The only thing that MAY be an issue is the breastfeeding. But since I did not require medication the last time It shouldn't be an issue this time. I will know more after our consultation.
I am sad in a way though. This will be our last child together. It seems like at this point 4 of our own will be our ideal family size. Who knows what may change but I think that this will be our last pregnancy. Hahaha maybe Mother Nature will show us and will give us twins LOL. Like they say "If you want to hear God laugh tell him your plans" ;)
Oh yeah this is where we will be going

Word of the day is....
Encopresis
Why that word you ask? That is what they believe my middle son has. So we will be seeing a specialist just in that disorder. The thing is. I found out the possible diagnosis today and read up on it. We have been doing the suggested treatments. Fiber, bran, water, bowel training etc... so I do not know what will be next for him.
On a less bowel related note hehehe
I also got my first appointment regarding my referral! I go in on Wednesday. It is exciting. Sad but true. It will probably be only the first stop when it comes to doctors but it always has to start somewhere right?

Voyeuristic...hmmm maybe cheap therapy
Dh walked upstairs last night where I was watching Nanny 911. He rolled his eyes and made a comment to the tune of "how can you watch this?"
I swear I watch those type of shows because I see the family or person and think..."Whew at least we aren't like THEM" LOL. I look at a show like Nanny 911 and not only to I get some neat ideas But I can then look at my family and be thankful my one son who is quite the handful never got that bad. Of course I know there are people who look at my family and feel the SAME way HAHAHAHA.
This is probably why I watch judge shows and some talk shows. It makes me feel smart. hahhaa Plus OK I admit it. It is natural to want to watch a trainwreck in the making :)

That is that
Went to my doctors appointment today. Got my prescription for vitamins. Talked to her quickly about my history with infertility and she is putting in a referral :)
She looked at Grady and said "he is 9 months? And you are ready? More power to you!" and said she will get in a referral. I told her if he were a more difficult baby We might be a bit more apt to wait longer lol

The oldest
OK I love the boy A LOT. But he needs to remove his head from his butt!
I swear he is going through a hormone shift and going through the teen stuff already.
Anyway yesterday morning dh gets the boy up assists him in making his bed. Let me back track. Dh has been taking the time to help him clean his room properly. The kid has been up to his neck in his own mess and he is not taking our help to do it himself, so he will be hand held through it. Dad has been doing his bestto get Alex living up to his responsibilities and pitching in around the house etc.
Anyway so hubby leaves for work, I start getting ready for my morning doctor appointment. I get done and then I hear running through the house. My oldest had AGAIN fallen asleep downstairs!! He ate breakfast and instead of putting his dish in the dishwasher and then brushing his teeth he laid down on the couch and FELL ASLEEP! He missed his bus. You know that saying lack of planning on your part does not constitute and emergency on my part? Yeah well he doesn't agree HAHAHAHA
So I rush to get ready and drive him to school. Which means I have to rush my middle son out the door and make sure the baby is set...
So I was late to my doctor appointment so they cancelled me COMPLETELY understandable. I MAY get charged a fee for missing the appointment too. Also I told Alex that I love him but I will not excuse his tardiness from school. He flipped saying how he would have to sit through detention yadda yadda. If this were the first time he had done this exact thing I may have more sympathy.
So yeah call me a mean mom if you want but he needs to learn.

So yeah call me a mean mom if you want but he needs to learn.
Holy heck
If I knew getting referrals from a civilian were this easy, I would have switched providers long ago!
We all went in yesterday. Well OK I missed my appointment because of my oldest son... I will get into that in another post.
DS#3 went in got a once over and a referral to Childrens hospital for an audiologists exam... to repeat every 6 months until he is 3. There appears nothing wrong with his hearing (to me). However because of my oldests problems we are being proactive and dotting I's and crossing T's. I requested Childrens even though it is a drive, because they are aware of my oldests history and type of loss.
My oldest son got his neurologists referral.
My middle son got another look over. She suggested that while she has some suspicions she is NOT A SPECIALIST (HELLO?!?!?! thank you!!) He is heading to a gastrointerologist (hmm this isn't on spell check, but it looks right to me). Thank you Lord! I do not want to mess around with his health. It may very well be nothing however better safe you know?
OK as for me I have to go in to get my refill on vitamins on Monday. I talked to dh he said to let her know my history with infertility and losses. Then see if she thinks a referral now would be good. He also wants to know if the RE will see me if I am breastfeeding (I don't even know...). And convey the fact we would like to have another child soon. He is so afraid of being too old. Being mistaken for the Grandpa at high school graduation. He is silly
She seems knowledgeable and nice. The fact she talked TO Grady and not over him or ignoring him all together and just talking to me.... I liked that A LOT.
