Samantha had her surgery yesterday for tonsils and adenoids.
We got to the clinic around 7am. They got us back to a room. The nurses talked to us about the surgery and the recovery. The anesthesiologist came in next and talked to us as well. After all the paper work and the talking, it was time for them to take Samantha back to the OR. She was so trusting! The anesthesiologist reached out for her hand and Samantha took it. They left the room and went down a hallway. As Seth, Mom and I watched her walk away from us she turned around and gave us a sad face. It was sooo sad. Mom and I balled our eyes out! :*( But at least Samantha wasn't crying herself. That would have been even harder. But I tell you what, the hardest thing in the world is to let you child just walk away from you knowing what is coming and you can't be there to comfort her.
The nurses took us a post op room where we waited for her. I think we waited a good 45-55 minutes.
The doctor finally came to talk to us and told us everything went great. WHEW!!
So now we waited until they brought Samantha. I heard Samantha's cry and here the nurses come carrying her. I took her and we sat in a chair with her on my lap. She was a little nauseous from the anesthesia. And she ended up throwing up once. :(
She was pretty scared and I'm sure in pain. She kept crying and saying that she wanted to go home. But before we could leave, she had to drink 10 ounces of fluids. She had a Popsicle, some ice cream and a lot of water. It took a couple of hours, but she finally had taken in enough fluids to go home.
We made it home and she seemed to be doing pretty good. She took a little nap. Then after she woke up she started feeling horrible. Wasn't wanting to eat and feverish.
I hope things get better for her! I feel so so bad! :(

Our Bad Luck :/
Lately we've just had the worst luck ever!
We've had a lot of plumbing problems in our home lately. We decided to get it all fixed around the beginning of April. Well, It turns out that it's something MUCH worse than what we expected. Our sewer line in our house has been leaking and we had no idea. We were going to get our sand point(well)/pump fixed/replaced. Well, we can't do that now until we get the sewer line fixed. We decided that our best bet was to get a well outside the house instead of the sand point. I don't think we could do a sand point anymore anyway since that spot has been contaminated with sewage. :/ SO...Basically a $2,000 job turned into a $10,000 job. We're trying to save up some money right now to pay for it all.
All I can say is thank God for Seth's parents!!!!! They have let us stay in their home until everything is all fixed. It has been really great! The girls get to spend some much needed time with their Grandma, Papa and Aunt Lisa. And I get to spend some much needed time with my Mom. Since she started working we have barely gotten anytime to hang out and talk. So I guess there's some good news in there! :)
After that great news(sarcasm)... Seth tells me that my inner tire rod on my car was shot and needed replaced. So I haven't been able to use my car. But I did make an appointment to get that fixed next week! Can't wait to drive my car again. I love driving Seth's truck, but I HATE that it's such a gas hog!
In the middle of April we all came down with the stomach flu. It was Samantha's first vomiting episode. Poor girl just kept throwing up. :( I felt sooo bad for her! But she did great running to the toilet when she needed to. Then Ella got it the next day, as did I and Mom. Crappiest couple of days ever! I hope none of us have it again for a long time!
Last week we found out that Ella has Croup and her first ear infection. She was pretty dang miserable!! But seems to be doing 100% better this week! She's not the greatest medicine taker at all! So I find myself hiding it in her milk or her yogurt. Her check up is on Friday.
Yesterday we found out more bad news.
Thursday, May 9th, Samantha is scheduled to get her tonsils and adenoids taken out. This girl has some HUGE tonsils!! Even the ENT said they were "humongous"! Just in the past few months they have been giving her a lot of trouble. She has been snoring, which wakes her up at night, coughing, choking on food, not eating as much and has a little pain. I am sooo nervous for her! The recovery won't be fun, But I will be so grateful when this is all over with. Hopefully she'll be a lot happier girl afterward. :) *fingers crossed*
I don't know about you, but I'm ready for some good luck to head our way!!!!

Trying to move forward...
It has been over a month since we found out that our little peanut passed away.
It still feels like we still have so many unanswered questions. The hardest one being that we'll never know what happened. We'll never know why this happened. We'll never know if the baby was a boy or a girl. It's hard not having that closure.
It has hit me pretty hard lately. I have quite a few friends that's due around the same time I was. They're all finding out the genders and posting belly pictures. Although I am incredibly happy for them, it's just hard to not be able to go through all of that with them.
I was so excited to have a itty bitty baby to hold again. I was really excited about nursing-I was going to try my hardest to nurse as long as baby would let me this time around. I was excited to see the girls with the baby-Samantha has been around a few babies recently and she's so sweet with them. I was excited for welcoming the baby into our amazing family. I was excited for all the smiles and laughter that comes with a brand new baby. I was excited for the cute little clothes. I was excited for labor and having that insanely beautiful moment when baby arrives. So many things I was so excited for and it all just got taken from me-like that!
I have been a little stressed out lately. Seth and I have recently talked about trying for another. He said he would like to have one more. And he'd like to start trying again soon. But he said it's completely up to me on what I wanted to do. I'm really not sure what I want to do. I hate that everything is getting put on me. I hate to think about seeing that disappointed look on Seth's face if I don't want to try again. He's such a wonderful Daddy that he deserves a million kids! I just wish I knew what to do. I'm hoping God will help us make the right decision.
As of right now, I'm trying to move forward and I'm just enjoying my time with my beautiful girls and my amazing husband! I was so sick for about 4 months that I wasn't really able to do much of anything with them all and I missed them so, so much!!!
