Text of the page (random words):
ld have had i just plowed through it marathon man since my workout regime is non existent right now except for my fitbit where sometimes i manage to make it to my steps goal i decided to motivate myself to when this pregnancy is over by learning about this really fast runner bill rodgers i liked it a little heavy emphasizing his role in trying to make a difference between being labeled as an amateur or a professional but really what world class athlete doesn t try and make themselves sound a little bit better than they are what human doesn t do that women and the priesthood her approach is not mine so while there were some excellent chapters that were great for me all in all i was disappointed voila i ve read 53 books for the year think i can make it to 200 me either posted by kris tina at 1 12 pm 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels books friday september 5 2014 friday favorites and a few favorites to round out the week my favorite selfie that is not of me so does that make it just a regular pic greg took henry to the park one night and snapped this one rosscat and i have had the stomach flu on and off all week and let s put it this way stomach flu is not pretty stomach flu when looking like a beached whale is even worse if you ask me i like to trump greg when i can it was a rough week but we survived i think and henry handled it like a champion although he is very good at pretending to throw up in the kitchen sink i think he has seen me do that one too many times with this pregnancy and now the flu our favorite book of the week whoa i apparently hit the jackpot with this one we have read it at least twice a day for the past two weeks and when we get to h which stands for hydraulic excavator watch out for some excitement i can t say that i love this book but goodness it s gold in henry s hands gold our favorite beds of the week my sister gave me some great advice when i complained that henry was having some horrible sleeping patterns wanting to sleep with us all the time which is something i just can t handle henry and his nighttime wake ups were his way of telling us that he is working on growing up and we need to help him and besides something had to be done sleeping is bad enough right now sleeping with a 2 5 year old that wants to attach himself to you like a barnacle in bed is no bueno so we got tough and we finally converted his crib to the toddler bed and after one rough night of locking him in yes we are tough love parents when it comes to sleep we are back in sleep nirvana he loves it he thinks he is such a big kid and i love it because no more barnacle sleeping and yes he sleeps with a robot pillow and the jenny from the block cabbage patch doll and yes that is a nixon bobble head above his bed along with a bunch of stars wars excuse the term junk we are working on minimalism slowly slowly slowly oh and my favorite bed i have taken to sleeping solo outside just about every night my own version of glamping for some reason this is more comfortable for me so i m just going for it whatever sometimes i say goodnight to greg and remind him i m not mad at you i just need to sleep alone amongst nature with a bathroom nearby favorite toy of the week the kitchen sink the amount of water henry is wasting by playing in the sink makes me cringe a little bit but at the same time he loves upping the water transfer project to this new level of awesomeness and yes he has the binky and yes i m fine with it one thing at a time right now we had to conquer the sleep business eventually he ll realize that going to junior high with a binky makes him look a little ridiculous among his peers posted by kris tina at 2 44 pm 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels favorites thursday september 4 2014 reading roundup august not to brag but it s my blog so i guess i will i read a lot of great books for the month of august i must admit i thought they were so great that i kind of am questioning my judgment for example right now my taste buds are virtually gone things that i have always found to be flavorful and delicious are disgusting whereas corn flakes give me some see what i mean weird bless this baby who continues to be the miracle baby i digress but really when we go to the perinatologist s we are kind of greeted like rock stars only because everyone in the office knows our story and knows how miraculous it is i m sure that is an office that sees a lot a lot of sad things so when we show up with my big belly leading the way its sweet to see how they know us and are invested in her we are blessed but back to the point of this post books books and more books here is what i read for august i m on goodreads and put more thorough reviews there thorough meaning maybe a whole paragraph but here is the breakdown in a nutshell we are all completely beside ourselves oh goodness it started out so strong and then halfway through it changed and became a completely different book than the one i thought i was reading i am always interested in booker prize nominations that s how i learned about margaret atwood but this one was way not what i was looking for a disappointment the power of habit so great i really liked how it broke it down into cue routine reward its forced me to look at some of the things i do differently and it has given me hope that i can create new habits and break the ones i don t like all joy and no fun the paradox of modern parenthood highly highly highly recommended like a 5 star recommendation i loved how she dissected down what happens to me and my relationship to my spouse as we enter various stages of parenting it was fascinating it made me feel less guilty about a lot of mom guilt i have and helped me just kind of understand myself and my relationship to greg better give and take read this book so many exclamation points in this post my sister would be so ashamed this is a book i want to own and refer to i would love to be thought of as a giver one that consistently gives and helps and works to connect others while not being taken advantage of this book was so fascinating to me that when i started reading it i immediately had greg load it up on his phone so that he could listen to it too and then we could talk all about it landline and finally a fun one gosh there was three non fiction in a row that s not like me landline was sweet i really enjoyed it but i also really love romantic comedies i recently watched you ve got mail for the one hundredth bajillionth time so there you go so if you like romantic comedies this is right up your alley and there august books you are documented posted by kris tina at 10 05 pm 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels books friday august 15 2014 friday favorites i m still adjusting back to the idea of having a living breathing blog but posterity is posterity and thank you for all your kind comments about our little lady things are plugging along a quick update the fluid is still there but it is also not getting bigger so we get to keep having lots of pictures of her and preparing for delivery but she s healthy despite this in the meantime i m getting as big as a house but let s not talk about that a few favorite things 1 henry loves loves loves the natural curiosity museum at thanksgiving point the best thing is we bought a pass and so think nothing of going and hanging out there for an hour or so it s kind of the sweetest thing greg is back in school so last night i found henry myself and the little lady traipsing through the toddler ropes course let s just say i m not as limber as i usually am but i did it and anna showed up for part of the time so it was a win if you haven t been go we avoid the crowds by going after work last night it was a dream no one was there 2 i love this halloween advent calendar by pottery barn so much that even though it was discontinued i decided to borrow my sister in law s to copy it and try and make it greg convinced me that that was the stupidest idea in the world so instead i found one for sale on ebay and won winner totally worth it totally 3 i have access to an awesome library here at work literally awesome i mean where else will people just deliver requested books to you at your office but instead of reading all the classics henry insists on reading this book every night this week machines go to work it s um riveting 4 i read the book a short guide to a long and healthy life and in it the doctor mentioned that one thing you should do is take care of your feet i bought this stuff and i really really really really like it cracked heels be gone especially in sandal weather because hello no one wants to see that 5 we lost the remote to the fan in henry s room we have literally turned the house upside down looking for it and no luck it s been three weeks and finally we broke down called the fan company with the model number shelled out 40 and voila we are back in business and no longer does henry have to suffer with a stuffy room in the night praise be i am sure we will find the original remote tonight 6 and finally my 6 chatbooks are the bee s knees here s to many more posted by kris tina at 9 35 am 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels favorites monday august 4 2014 introducing blue north george ivy west i m hesitant to make this public not that i don t want to tell everyone in the world the story but disclosing this out in the open is difficult and i prefer my writing style on this blog to be easy breezy covergirl not serious sally i hope to tell it in a way that doesn t offend anyone nor makes light of it this has been a pretty difficult pregnancy for me i m not one of those women that loves being pregnant i m just not i like to have personal space and having a baby with 50 foreign dna inhabit my body for 40 weeks is the opposite of me having my personal space it s hard and i ve been sick sicker than sicker i ve also been scared scared that something would be wrong despite my wrinkle free face i m not a spring chicken when you are laying in bed doing your best to not give up and just hold some gatorade and saltines down it s hard to not think about all the statistics and all the possibilities with henry i thought the ultrasound was just a party you know where you find out the sex of your child and celebrate nope this can also be a rather scary appointment the tech makes all sorts of measurements looks to see if there are any problems alerts you to them that sort of thing once i realized the stakes i went in to this ultrasound more nervous i hoped that all those horrible concerns that i would fantasize about in the dredges of morning sickness were going to be dispelled but i also knew that maybe they wouldn t be a mother s intuition means something doesn t it while in the appointment the tech asked three times you have a doctor s appointment after this right me on high alert already knew that this was not casual small talk as we waited and waited and waited for the doctor after the ultrasound i became increasingly nervous finally she came in and we learned that yes there was a problem a problem that couldn t be explained from the images gathered earlier that morning fluid build up between the lungs and the stomach that could signal something significant they just couldn t tell we were then sent to wait and wait and wait until we could be seen by a specialist a week later it would be an understatement to say that this was a long week we prayed we fasted we prayed some more and we went into the specialist s office remarkably at peace scared but i was worried i was just going to be a basket case of non stop tears nope calm cool collected and ready to just know after about an hour long ultrasound by a technician a doctor came in and performed his own ultrasound he walked us through what he was seeing and he explained that our sweet baby has bi pleural effusion significant fluid between the lungs and the stomach that oftentimes results in the lungs not being able to develop and as the chest cavity becomes more full with fluid the heart works harder and harder and eventually can t handle it resulting in heart failure resulting in a stillborn or some parents make the decision to perform a c section still recognizing that the child will not be able to survive for long outside the womb he was kind but he told us that as is the baby had about a 5 to 10 chance of survival he told us our best option was that we needed to do some tests to see if this baby would be a candidate to go to either houston or colorado and have shunts put in that would try and shuttle the fluid out of the cavity to allow enough room for the lungs to develop we waited and he contacted his colleagues at both hospitals after determining what tests were exactly necessary we were scheduled to come back the next morning to do some tests to see if a shunt was even a viable option that day night was bad an understatement but we were okay we knew no more of this wondering and now for the miracle the next day we went back ready to have the amniocentesis and a thoracentesis as the doctor is performing the ultrasound again he stops he continues he is silent he leaves telling us that he needs to go and consult his pictures from yesterday and his colleagues he comes back to tell us that the fluid that was measuring 1 0 cm yesterday is now measuring only 3 cm that s point 3 or 3mm and that he had to measure it in a different spot because where he was measuring it before the fluid isn t big enough to get a decent measurement his look of confusion is something i never want to forget he told us that he thought that he was looking at a different baby we continued with the appointment had the amniocentesis performed looking for genetic abnormalities to determine the cause of this fluid build up opted to wait for the thoracentesis because of how much smaller the fluid had become and were told that things looked better but we needed to continue to wait and see as miracles occur i have learned that this was a big one the doctor told us that he has never seen fluid decrease like that in such a short of time of course he has seen it increase but never decrease in the same amount of time and as miracles occur i have also learned that this baby is one big miracle wrapped up in a bunch of small ones since then test after test after test has come back normal and healthy this weekend i was reminded again of the sweet faith of a child when we were originally told of the 5 to 10 chance of success our 7 year old niece clung to that statistic as i was being my realistic self she was saying but krissi 5 percent 5 percent our will is not always the lord s will but how grateful and blessed we feel that sometimes our will and lord s will coincide and while things are not perfect we continue to go in for ultrasound after ultrasound after ...
