Back in the Saddle

Well if I have anyone left reading my blog, then that is a miracle. I can't believe that it has been 6 months since the last blog. My life has been so out of control. The end of my pregnancy went from icky to full out sucky.

It started in August with me get violently ill and ending up in the hospital. I was in and out of the hospital for the next 2 months and lost over 30 pounds. Granted loosing 30 pounds is usually wonderful, but not when it comes out your butt! Anyway after all of the trauma, it was pretty much decided that I have developed an autoimmune disorder. Most likely Crone's Disease, but I can't be fully diagnosed for about 3 more months, due to the early diagnosis and being able to show up on tests. Of course this has changed my life drastically. I no longer can have dairy, caffeine, and fatty foods. If I am having a flare up then salad is out too. It makes for an adventure in life, but I figure it is a good way for me to get myself back on track for the health department.

Adam has taken off when it comes to his vocabulary and height, he is predicted to be about 6 feet tall when all is said and done, and his vocabulary and humor rival those of a 4 year old. His wit keeps us all on our toes.

Jeremy is still the same, he obsesses over cutting wood and keeping the lawn kept up. He loves to spend his evening with the rug rats and can't get enough of HGTV.

Izi is wonderful, she spent the summer with us and was a wonderful helper, and I don't know what I would have done without her. She has shot up and is now all legs and her humor and personality reminds me so much of myself it is scary. I look forward to seeing her on her breaks and whenever I get a chance to come back to Minnesota to visit.

Our newest addition was born on September 2, 2009. She was 7 pounds 10 oz and was 19 inches. She is the runt of the litter and we are enjoy watching her grow. She is extremely laid back, but very particular in what she wants and when she wants it. I sure don't know where she gets that from.

Anyway, I am planning on making this a priority in my life for 2010, and maybe, just maybe I will keep this New Years Resolution up.
