"Our Father in Heaven has given us, His children, much more than any mortal mind can comprehend. Under His direction the Great Jehovah created this wonderous world we live in . God the Father watches over us, fills our hearts with breathtaking joy, brightens our darkest hours with blessed peace, distills upon our minds precious truths, shepherds us through times of distress, rejoices when we rejoice, and answers our righteous petitions." Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "The Love of God," Ensign, Nov. 2009

C- Section went ok. Only problem this time was when we went to check out, my Hemoglobin had dropped a lot since I had first checked in. It started at a 12.5, after surgery it was a 9.5, and the morning I got ready to leave it was at a 6.5. It was not suppose to be dropping. I had to go in for a CAT scan and was told I may not get to leave, and if they found internal bleeding or a blood clot I’d have to stay an extra week and Cameron would have to go home without me. My Dr. who had not ordered the scan had my hemoglobin checked again it went up to 8. After I drank the nasty stuff for the Cat scan my DR. came up said he did not think I needed the scan. He Thought everything was ok. I decided to go ahead with the scan just because I had just forced myself to drink this nasty stuff in 2 hrs. The scan showed I did have a blood clot but it was under the incision and Dr Trogolo was not concerned about it, that it should be reabsorbed into my body.  He said if I want to go, he’d sign the release papers. So I was released at about 6:50 pm and made it home by about 8pm. We are doing well. Cameron has an appointment on Tuesday, and I am slowly recovering from all the excitement. Hope to see everyone soon!

CRAZINESS

We woke up to a phone call at 4am. It was a reminder from Middleburg Elementary NO SCHOOL  Friday due to teachers planning day. (Craziness) It took me a few minutes to realize they were meaning the next day and they had probably set the time wrong for the announcement. It should have went out at 4pm. Oh well, I tossed and turned for about an hour trying to go back to sleep.  With the thoughts of little Somer Thompson from Orange Park that had been abducted and found earlier that day at a garbage dump. (More craziness) And what else we could do to keep our children safe. When the alarm went off I rolled out of bed knowing I had to get myself, Julia, and Haley ready because Julia had school and we (me and Haley) were meeting the play group at the zoo. On the way to school, (listening to Julia whine the whole time because she couldn’t go to the zoo) traffic was backed up horrible. (More craziness for the morning )So I cut down Main street to drop Julia off. As we drove by the back of the school no one was there, no kids walking to class no cars dropping anyone off. (very strange and unnerving)  As I turned onto Section street to get into the drop off area. The gates were locked and a line of cars sat waiting to talk to the guy in the middle of the street turning everyone away.  When I got my turn he said school was closed due to a threat. I called Paul and let him know and he called the School Board and was told that there was a bomb threat. And all the kids picked up on busses were sitting at the Baptist church, and all teachers had been evacuated, but there cars had to stay in the parking lot until everything could be checked out. No one was aloud in. More Craziness!!!! So I decided to continue with my plans for the day and me and the girls met the playgroup at the zoo. We had a wonderful time with friends, and was able to put the rest of the craziness out of my mind. Afterwards since I had to almost pass my grandparents house to go home and have not seen them in a few months I stopped and spent a few hours with them.  Thankfully the craziness stopped and the rest of the day was uneventful and relaxing. We even had dinner waiting for us when we made it home! (Paul cooked!)

What do you think?

Julia asked me today, “Mommy do you think my new baby sister Cameron, will look like me?”  My guess is there is a big chance she probably will! Take a look at these two cuties at about the same ages.
