I had to look for something on my wall on facebook and was able to read my status updates over the last couple months... There is a lot of good stuff in there.... stuff that one day I bet I'd want to remember!! Stuff I know I'd forget! So, I just wanted to copy and paste some of my favorites. :)
July 1, 2011
Lisey's been a good girl.. the last 3 nights she has slept through the night!! (8:30pm - 5:30 or 6:30am) This is after that one night she was being a little stinker and I decided to not nurse her. We'll see how long this lasts, either way I don't *plan* on nursing her in the middle of the night, anymore.
July 7
Elise slept 12 hrs straight last night!! yay! I am hoping this is it because I am starting to feel more rested lately! The good thing is, it only took one night of *not* nursing her for her to start sleeping better! I am glad I waited til she was ready though... letting her cry for days and days (or nights) was not my idea of a good time.
July 8
My kids are funny. Alaina says "lesterday" and Matthew says "mesterday" for Yesterday.
July 9
took Elise into the Dr yesterday. Although her croup is better, she was still running a slight fever and pulling on her ear. She did have an ear infection. :( Little peanut only weighed 18lbs 6oz.. and that was fully dressed w/diaper. haha!
July 10
Oh my goodness, Elise LOVES Dora! She'll stop whatever she's doing if she hears it come on and she makes a really intense excited face whiles he watches her and says, "dah, dah, dah" She also says "bah, bah" when backpack comes on. She's so silly.
July 12,
Alaina LOVES puzzles! She does them all day long. For real. She has a spot at a table and she just stands there and does them over and over. She's gotten really good at 100 piece puzzles and she was even finding pieces for us on our 1,000 piece puzzle.
July 14
Steven got called to guard duty to help with the flooding here in Omaha, starting today. He'll be working 2pm-10pm for the next 2-3wks straight. I think it's a pretty cool deal and he's excited about it too!
July 18
I was just thinking about it.. I have only emptied and loaded the dishwasher a handful of times this whole summer thanks to my helpful girls. :) All 4 work together to get the job done everyday.
The days of buying only 5 slushies at Sonic are over! Johanna let Elise have a sip of hers and she drank it all the way home and is now sitting her highchair finishing it off.. if anyone goes near her and *thinks* about touching that slushie she lets out an "I mean business" scream! Silly goose...
July 20
My head is spinning from everyone trying to talk to me at the same time!!
July 21
Matthew really wanted an umbrella for his (3rd) birthday... so it really worked out that it was raining today. :)
July 22
It really makes me feel dumb when I have to call my cell phone from my house phone to find it.. and when I do, I get excited that there is one missed call... sigh... I fall for it over and over again...
July 26
Prayer Request: Tomorrow Matthew has an appt with the allergist to get a scratch test done... :( I've heard it's extremely uncomfortable, so pray he does okay with that and also pray we figure something out that will actually make a difference.
July 27
Elise loves to climb up on the computer desk and then walk across the laptop keyboard... she's already done it twice since I have been on fb and she's going for it again!! Silly goose!
Aug 2, 2011
Elise just handed me a slimy chewed up piece of pizza and while she handed it to me she said, "dit-doo" (thank you) in her sweet little voice.. Um.. thanks, but no thanks! LOL It was adorable though..
Aug 6
The case of the missing butter knives... Kelli and I are trying to figure out how every single one of my butter knives has gone missing.. dirty or clean, they are GONE! By process of elimination we have decided that either Johanna or Alaina have to be the guilty ones, but so far no admissions..... very weird to say the least.
Aug 8
As Johanna cleaned the toilet today she sang, "I am so poor... I have to clean toilets.. and scrub and flush poop.... and clean sinks and trash... I am so poor..." LOL (btw, this was not a punishment.. she WANTED to do it.. hahahaha!!)
Aug 10
Matthew keeps calling Lisey a "cootie pie"... I don't think he knows girls have cooties yet, so he must mean "cutie" :) Love him!!
Aug 12
Just spent the evening/night making clothes for Katie and Danielle's dolls. Had to dust off the old sewing machine, but all is good! It was a lot of fun.
Aug 20
Elise is a climber... everytime I walk into the room she is on top of something! I just caught her on top of the desk playing our answering machine messages, lol.. I always find her on the kitchen table eating out off whatever plate got left behind.. when she sees me coming she stuffs as much as she can in her mouth, haha!! Stinker!
Just caught Lisey sticking a toothbrush in the toilet... oh I *hope* she didn't put it in her mouth.... but why wouldn't she? Gross gross gross!!!
Aug 21
Poor Matthew... he just woke up after sleeping for 16 1/2 hours. He's running a fever and that bump on his neck looks bad again. Actually this morning it's doing better, but the last few days it's been awful. We have an appt with the surgeon tomorrow to see if it can be removed....
Aug 23
Whenever Matthew comes to sleep in our room, he brings all his treasured belongings.. his ny-nite, paci, pillow pet, thomas blanket and pillow, his blue car, his Tow-Mater, and his night-light that puts a picture of space on the ceiling (which he calls, heaven, lol).. and he plugs it in, even.. haha... LOVE him!
tonight I starting trying to teach Elise to sit nicely on my lap for Family Bible time.. up until now she'd wander around and play (get into things) and randomly nurse. Just wasn't working well, haha... She did pretty well! She sat on my lap the entire time.. she had a few outbursts but got over it when she realized I wasn't letting her down! It's never too early to start!
Aug 24
took Matthew to the ENT today and he is pretty sure that he has a branchial cleft cyst on his neck... basically it has a tract that is connected to his nasal passages and anytime he gets a cold, ear infection, etc.. it also causes the cyst to become infected. Only cure is surgery, he said the surgery can take anywhere from 45mins to a few hours to remove all of the tract. Not thrilled about this idea... at all. :(
Johanna just pulled out her own tooth!!!
Aug 25, 2011
my status today in 2009! "when I asked Danielle what she liked so much more about their new school... she just said, "I don't know.. it's just so much more churchier!"
Haha.. love it!
You know you clean out your kids' ears too much when your baby sees you coming with a Q-tip and she scrunches her shoulders to cover her ears and runs away... also, when you find her with a Q-tip trying to clean out a Barbie's ear... lol... oh that girl of mine... silly goose!
Aug 26
Katie's status..... "Alaina: can i bring my balloon outside? Me: No, unless you want it to float away. April -you know what happens when it floats so high you can't see it? It pops! Alaina: and then it goes to heaven? lol!"
Tonight Elise threw Steven's shoe into the bath with Matthew... she's obsessed with water, at least it was the bath and not the toilet this time... but ew, poor Matthew!
Aug 27
Tonight my family just ate 5lbs of potatoes, a dozen eggs, 7 tortillas, and 4 slices of cheese... and half of them are just babies!! lol
Aug 28
Charity Long's status update.. it warmed my heart! "Highlight of my day: singing songs to Jesus with little Johanna at church. She stood right across from me (I was at the front leading the songs) singing at the top of her lungs. She knew every single lyric and sang with all her heart. She's so special, April 'Jasmer' Maestas!"
Those are just a few of the wonderful memories I have over the month of July and August! :)
I think this is a good "tradition". Once a month, maybe I'll C&P favorite status'.. just for memories... :)
Good Night!

Simply Saturday: My heart says.....
My heart says that those 3 positives were not false.
They were tests that detected hcg hormone in my blood that could only be caused by a baby.
For as long as I live, if I try and say that 'one time I had a false positive' I will feel guilty for not acknowledging a life.. a precious life that God gave me to carry for a very short time, a life that He kept inside of me long enough for me to know it was there.. thank you, God for that.
Thanks for letting me know.

Words on Wednesday: Allergist Update
Now that all the pregnant/not pregnant drama is over, I need to update on Matthew's allergist appts.
The day I took him to get his scratch test I was a wreck. :( The whole way there I had to fight tears with everything I had... there were times I couldn't fight it though. I kept looking back at Matthew, in his carseat, so quiet, sweet and innocent.. no clue what was going on.
We got there and there was a playhouse.. he loved that... and legos. He got to take the legos with us back to the room.
The allergist is SO nice... LOVED her. She was so understanding. She told us that we shouldn't get rid of our cat because it would probably do more (emotional) harm than good. She took time and listened to me, unlike the dermatologist.
She was in awe of the fact that Matthew has FIVE sisters, lol.. she kept asking questions and saying she couldn't believe it! haha! She said I must be very organized, lol.. if she only knew....
When the time came for his scratch test, he started to cry, I think he knew something was going on. He screamed when they cleaned his back with the alcohol wipe, I think it was because of the few spots of eczema on his lower back. Then they poked him with a little pin, probably 30-40 times... I didn't count and put the allergen on his skin. He CRIED so hard... he kept calling for Daddy. :(
Then he had to lie there for 15-20 minutes and wait to see how his skin reacted. There were a couple spots that had a tiny bump, but nothing significant. They said that sometimes people will have huge welts all over their back... so I was very thankful that he didn't react like that.
She said there was a VERY small reaction (not even worth mentioning until I asked about food allergies) to fish and eggs. So she said to not give him fish oil anymore... Not sure if it was because of his slight allergy or not... She said, let it run it's course.. that it's common and he'll outgrow it. She wanted to see him back when he was having a flare up.
One week later I brought him back and she said he def. needed to be on steroid cream because he looked kind of bad (although better than he usually does with a flare up). She also wanted to put him on an antibiotic, but I chose to not do that. I think Matthew doesn't do too well with antibiotics so we are trying to keep him off of them unless absolutely necessary. In fact we are going to try probiotics soon.. if we ever get to Whole Foods!
It took a couple days and his skin looked better on steroids.. right now I am giving them to him every other day trying to keep it under control and still putting aquafor on him everyday. Here soon I am going to give him steroids every two days and see what happens, maybe I can wean him off, while still giving him the antihistimines daily.

Take on Tuesday: Definitely Not.. :(
Went to the Dr yesterday and got my blood test done. It was negative.
I guess I am disappointed... I don't know! I wasn't really ready for another pregnancy yet... pregnancies are hard and right now I am going through a hard time, so in that sense I am relieved I have a couple more months. If it was really truly negative, then no biggie. If there really was a baby then that is really sad. :( I know those things happen though, but the worst part for me is really not knowing. Were those 3 positives real? They were faint and disappeared fast... maybe the test strips I had were more sensitive then the store bought ones.. maybe the detected the very small traces amounts of hcg I had... maybe I only had a small amount because I had a baby that just didn't live very long at all... :( Really, if that is the case, that is ok. I know God is in control and I know that IF that did happen that I have another precious little child that I will get to meet one day.
Or... on the other hand... were those test strips really no good because they were so cheap... did I do them wrong because I didn't totally follow the instructions? (I peed on them directly instead of putting them in a cup..) I mean, all 4 store bought tests were very clearly negative and all the test strip tests I did in between were negative too. I guess that is possible... but then why where the first 18 or so I took ALL negative... why did I get 3 faint positives in a couple day timeframe...?
Well, whatever happened is God's will and one day I will know. If I have another baby, I will meet him or her in Heaven. If not, then I guess I went through all this for nothing.

Pregnant or Not Pregnant.. That is the Question!
I think I am setting a record for the most pregnancy tests EVER taken in one possible pregnancy! LOL!!!
Yesterday, I was convinced.. it was a fluke test.. I am not pregnant.
Today.. I am confused all over again. Thank goodness tomorrow is Monday and I can go in and get a blood test.
When Elise woke up at 4:30am I decided to take another test... I have a few to spare. :)
It was negative.
Since that was first morning pee... I should have just accepted my fate. Not quite. I can't have pregnancy tests sitting, so easily accessible right on the back of my toilet. I took another one before church... 9:30am-ish.
A FAINT PINK LINE next to the control line. Blink. Really???
Still... I could be wrong... it could be an evap line.. another fluke... sigh....
Went to church, even went to the bathroom at church and when I got home.. temptation strikes again. I knew that I wasn't waiting long enough between peeing.. but at this point I had 2 pregnancy tests left... eh, what the heck, right?
So, I took it.. and guess what??? TWO lines! Eeeeeee!!!!!!
I showed Kelli and Steven and even Katie and it was def. there! I tried to take a picture of it because i knew it would fade, but it was not dark enough to show up.. so yes, very light. Very light.
Pretty much convinced though... must be pregnant. There wouldn't be 3 "bad" tests in one package especially when all 20 tests I took before those were very clearly negative... not even a hint of a trace of a line!
So.... I bought two First Response tests at Walmart.
NEGATIVE! Seriously? Unmistakeably negative. :(
I have one more for tomorrow morning.... then..... I will settle this once and for all and get a blood test. Argh.. this is very confusing and discouraging! I don't even know what I want anymore... whenever I take the test I am dying to see that second line appear, but yet I still want to wait a couple mos to get pregnant... have weight to lose and all that.... just need more time.... but I LOVE the idea of God giving us this wonderful gift... we weren't even asking for him/her at this point and if God is giving us a baby, then Wow... that's just amazing...
I just want to know.......................

Simply Saturday: only one pink line...
I really don't know how I feel about this one. I have always thought, a line is a line.. and if you see a second line on a pregnancy test then hcg hormone has been detected, end of story. I am not so sure anymore. Every test I have taken since my phantom positive has been negative, including one first thing this morning. Either the test was a fluke, it was an evap line, or I am in the process of miscarrying. I really hope I am not miscarrying.. but if I am, I need to know. Not that it will change anything, but I just need to know if I have a 3rd little baby in heaven... that baby deserves to be acknowledged. Monday I am going to get a blood test and that should make everything clear.
This morning my test was negative, but I couldn't help myself I looked at it again hours later and there was a trace of a line.. now I am just driving myself crazy... THAT, i am sure, was an evap line. My first test was not i am pretty sure, the second line was there after minutes and then later disappeared. The test had to be wrong...
Well, as always I'll keep ya posted.
OH! And STEVEN decides it would be a good idea to tell people.. so he tells his friend at work and his parents.. his parents tell everyone!! So now I am getting messages on facebook! LOL! It is rather funny actually.. but annoying because I told him to not tell yet. Oh, Steven..... Now he has to go back and correct everyone and they have to correct who they told! I told Becca, Kelli, Amber, Amber B. and Shelby (which by the way she just found out she's pregnant, too! Eeee!!!!) but they all knew the situation all along.. haha...

Friday's Facts: Two pink lines
It didn't take long! I've had ONE period, lol.
Actually last month sometime I decided that I am not sure if I can handle being pregnant again... right now... Steven is gone all the time and this fall it's going to be bad again. He'll be taking 3 classes while working, doing guard weekends, and also doing some side work for a store called Mangelson's. This craziness is going to continue at least through next school year and might let up some over the summer. I figured having a baby next summer would have been a little easier on all of us. It'd also give Elise a chance to get a little older before becoming a big sister!
God had other plans though!! I noticed my period was late, but that's normal, especially since my cycles JUST returned. They are always irregular at this point. I still tested though, I think it was cycle day 29 or 30. It was negative. I have these pregnancy test strips, I got 25 of them, I think, for about $5. So.. I don't hesitate to use them, pretty much whenever I feel like it.
My cramping has been pretty bad.. but that happens when I am pregnant sometimes... still though, I just kept waiting for Aunt Flow to make her appearance. Today is cycle day 35... I though what the heck, I'll test. It was early in the morning and dark in the bathroom and the test strip is really tiny so I wasn't even sure if I peed on it, LOL! I checked it a minute or so later and didn't see much... thought, oh well... I guess I didn't saturate it enough. :) I tried to go back to sleep. I couldn't, of course... so I switched my lamp on and had one more peek. There it was, a second, very faint pink line... but def. there. (!!!!)
My mind swirling.... how can this be? Didn't expect this AT ALL... haha... Steven's in the shower.. what do I say to him? He gets out and I just sigh... didn't know what else to do... He asked me what was wrong and I told him I was a little stressed... I had him look at the test in the light and he saw the line too!!!
He was so excited he right away pulled Katie and Danielle in the room and told them.. they are very excited... especially since I am due right around katie's birthday! :)
Steven kept telling me it serves me right because of that April Fools joke I played on him... little did we know, when I was playing that joke on him, that we'd have a little baby in exactly a year. :) Maybe I'll "go into labor" on April fools day... ;)
I am a bit concerned though... I went back a couple hours later to look at the test again... I just do that for some reason... reassurance I guess... and the line had completely faded. So, I took another one and it came out very negative. A few hours later I took two more and both of those were negative. So, now I have 4 negative test strips lying there and I am starting to feel like I must have been seeing things this morning... if Steven hadn't seen them too... I'd really doubt myself. UGH.... So, I need to pick up a couple sensitive tests, take one tonight and one tomorrow morning...
For now I am telling no one except close friends and family.. basically no one in Omaha can know. I don't feel like dealing with their less than happy reactions.
I'll keep ya updated!
