Excuses, Excuses

I could say any of the following:

*I've had morning sickness all day, everyday since week 4 of pregnancy began...
*I'm exhausted...
*but this time of year is just SO busy!!!...
*We aren't really all THAT interesting...

BUT, there is always SOMETHING I could blog about.  I know that the majority of my friends and family keep up with the antics of our family by way of facebook posts, but eventually it might be nice to print off and put into a book all of these blog entries and have a lifetime of memories to pass on.  So, with the new year just around the corner and approaching fast, I make one of two "New Year's Decisions".  I will make it a point to have at least one blog post each week here as well as on our children's blog.  

Kamden already regularly does things that I'm sure most would get a huge kick out of and in the next 7 months there will be a lot of big, exciting things happening for this little family of ours.  Especially with having so many friends and family who live so far away, I want to do this to keep better contact with and keep more communication going with each of you.

I would go ahead and start posting regarding Christmastime itself, but being as that today is THE big day, there still may be more to come.  Instead, I will plan for in the next two days to have a post with some pictures up.  In the mean time, there IS a new post on Those Krazy Koopman Kiddos, so pop on over there and take a peek.

May God richly bless you and yours today.

The Best and Worst Night Ever

Image
We left for our church's annual Memorial Day cookout around 5:30 on Sunday afternoon, May 29th.  I was having a few strange pains when we got there, but it was over 100 degrees so I thought that I was possibly getting dehydrated again since I'd just gotten out of the hospital late the night before.  We spent about an hour there before I told Jeff that I just didn't feel well and thought we should go home.  I was continuing to have the pains, however now going to the bathroom wasn't helping them get any better. We got home around 7:30 and I drank some water and laid on my left side.  That way, if I were having false labor, the contractions would stop, and hopefully I'd curb any dehydration that was starting on me again.  Laying down helped things for about an hour and a half.  Around 9:15, I told Jeff I thought we ought to call Dr. S., just in case he wanted me to be observed or something.  After talking with him, we decided to force fluids and wait o...

I Blame Wisconsin

Image
Okay, being that I haven't lived in Wisconsin in over 3 years, I can't really say that I can place blame there.  I got a letter from my primary care doctor's office this week and was told that my bad cholesterol is high.  I am doing my best to not beat myself up but to not foo foo it away as nothing.  I only need to bring it down about 20 points, so I know it could be way worse.  I know that the first thing everyone thinks of is fatty foods, dairy overload or something similar but after reading up on it, I found out that stress can cause it to rise too.  Apparently when highly stressed, the body doesn't break down foods as well and can cause cholesterol issues. So, in addition to changes in my diet, I'm going to attempt to "de-stress" my life. I know that being stress free is impossible as there are both good and bad stressors we face daily, but there are things I can change to make things less stressful for me. Things like: Asking for help Gett...
