FHE Mini Golf

A couple of Mondays ago Roy decided that he wanted to go Mini Golfing for FHE. It was hilarious watching the girls try to figure it out. We let Audrey throw her ball in and put it in the whole. The result of this is that she won the game with the best score! Evy did ok. But for a 5 and a half year old, I think she rocked it! Roy and I had fun just watching the girl. Audrey did get a whole in one on her first try! Yeah.....I know......she's the next Tiger Woods :)!

Playdate

Evy had a play date with her friend Ally from her TK class. I was downstairs and they were playing upstairs. They come down and Evy says, "Mommy, Ally and I would like a picture of us hugging and I want you to "log"(she means blog) about it." I felt like being a nice Mommy and I agreed. So here I am "logging" about it!

Ectopic Pregnancy

So this week has been pretty crummy for the Gallagher Family. On Monday, at 2:00pm we found out that I had a Ectopic Pregnancy. And at 4:30 I was in surgery having it removed along with my left fallopian tube :(.

The last time that I has surgery, I was 9, and it was a sinus surgery. So I was pretty scared going in. They gave me a little sedative as I was going to the OR. I remember saying that the ride to the OR should be a ride at Disney World. The last thing I remember was a bunch of surgeons laughing at me :).

This has been quite a trial for me. It's been 3 weeks of knowing that this pregnancy was not going to be viable, but that for some reason my body thought it was still pregnant. Now we know that it was because of the embryo still stuck in my tube. I kind of feel sad about the embryo. It wasn't it's fault that it got stuck in my tube or that my tube was all jacked up to begin with. But I guess these things happen.

I'm excited to get healthy again and move on with my life. And I'm very excited to snuggle my girls. I'm very nervous with Audrey around, thinking she's going to jump on me any minute. And I know the girls are feeling a little neglected. The upside to all of this is that we were able to celebrate Audrey's 2nd birthday Sunday night before the surgery. So I will soon be posting some cute video and pics. I've decided that my kids are growing up way too darn fast!

When it comes to my future fertility, we will just have to wait and see. I'm trying really hard to not think about it. I'm going to focus on getting better and if there's a problem later than we will just deal with it than.

I'm so grateful for my blessings. And grateful that we found it when we did. It could have easily burst and that would have been very bad. The doctor said this was because of my general healthiness. So I'm grateful for a family that instilled me a healthy lifestyle! I'm grateful for friends and family that have been there for Roy and I. I don't know what I would do without you! Roy's been great through all of this and I'm so grateful for his support!

So I felt like I needed to write all this down. To write down my feelings so that I can remember them. And if I've learned anything from this experience, it's that I need to trust in my instincts, I felt that something was not right and I went from there. I'm sure the spirit was helping me out.

I wanted to end this with a big thank you to: VICODEN! Seriously don't know what I would do without you. It will be sad when we need to part ways but I am so excited to feel like myself again!

Tired!

Audrey and I were trying to run some errands this afternoon. I picked her up some Mcdonald's for lunch. She had been terrible all morning and I figured something was up. But as I was driving it got quiet in the back. I was relieved that she was eating her food and hopefully that would help her behave better. As I turn back to tell her good job, I see this:


Notice that she still has the french fry in her hand! I tried to wake her up but she was having none of that! I canceled the rest of my plans. We went to pick up Evy and headed home for nap. She's going to be starving when she wakes up!

Randomness

I've just realized I haven't blogged in over am month. So I figured I would catch you guys up!

Here's the sweetest of picture of Audrey in her big-girl bed. I just love how she is snuggling her bear. How did my baby get too big. Too add to that, Roy took away the binky a few weeks ago. She hardly even noticed she didn't have it anymore. I was kind of sad. I don't like to see my girls growing up too fast. Evy's almost way too big to snuggle anymore.


And here's a picture outside our house when the trees were blooming. I thought they were so pretty. I don't like the smell too much but they sure are pretty!

Happy Valentines Day!

I love Valentine's Day! I love the jewelry commercial that says, it's not about I love you, but I love us! I love Roy! He never reads this but I wanted to say it.

Evy and I made some Valentines cookies today while Audrey was taking a nap. I have some chocolates and cards to give them at dinner. I'm so grateful for all the love I have in my life. Happy Valentines Day!



As I was loading the pictures on to the computer I saw some ones I had forgotten about. This one I took one morning. This is exactly how my mornings go. My children love TV!


And then another morning, Evy insisted I take her picture. I really have no idea why but she was sure that she needed her picture taken!I love how she had to strike a pose. That girl is so sassy!

I'm sad and sick

So today I found out that a family friend passed away last night. She was our neighbor in California for 5 years. I can't count the number of memories of my childhood that I have her and her family in. For some reason, this has struck me pretty hard. She was so young, 58. I think about my Mom and thought of what it would be like losing her. My heart goes out to her husband, her children and her sweet grandchildren. But what gives me hope and comfort is the knowledge that Families Can Be Together Forever. I know this is true and I know this beautiful Gospel that I belong to is true and because of that I feel blessed today. Almost every night I sing the girls the song, "Families Can Be Together Forever". Tonight it will be even more sweet.

Not helping the matter of feeling sad is the fact that I'm sick. I have had a runny nose for 3 weeks. Undoubtedly it is has turned into a Sinus Infection. But I have been so busy with the Design Business that I have not had a chance to go to the Doctor's. I'm glad I'm working but I need to find sometime to go get some Antibiotics........stupid nose! Maybe I'll go to the minute clinic after Roy comes home.

And not to make this post so down, I'm posting a video of Audrey. The other day on the phone, Alena, my Sister-In-law, asked to see some videos of Audrey talking. This is what I got out of her. She says so much more but for some reason that is all I could think of.

I've just realized that she's talking with her mouth full of food. I hope any of you do not find it rude. And if you are, than you might be offended by half of the things I say on my blog and you wouldn't be looking at my blog to begin with. So I'm going to assume you all find it adorable!
