Finally...Halloween!

So here are my little darlings on Halloween. Mena was a
"pumpkin" witch and Jacob was Ben 10. So cute! Our October festivities included a trip to the pumpkin patch with Grandma R., Aunt Margarida, Le Le and Ya Ya (while Daddy was in San Diego, the Truongs annual Halloween party, Trick or Treating with family at Aunt Allies (look to her blog for a much better entry) and then our branch's trunk or treat. Halloween was tons of fun. Especially for Mena who is an expert trick or treater. No fear!

Mommy's lost a body part!

After post lasting Sunday about no baby, I started to have some really severe pain with throwing up...nice. By about 7 in the morning on Monday, Phil had called my mom and had me taken to the hospital.

Well at least it wasn't the flu again. By 12:30 I was being prepped in the O.R. for an emergency appendectomy (aren't they all? Who just asks for an appendectomy? I think that is kind of funny actually). Jacob was horrified that I could lose a body part and was needing to talk to me in the hospital regularly.

They were going to keep me until Wednesday but I asked to go home Tuesday night. I can get better sleep with my little insomniacs than with all those well meaning, every 45 minutes vitals taking, nurses. So I came home.

I've done a lot of sleeping and catching up with the DVR. Unfortunately I've also had too much time to redecorate and reconstruct my living room in my mind again. Get out your checkbook babe!

p.s. We didn't win McDonald's millions.
p.p.s. I will post pics of kids at Halloween this week. I promise! Also, I can't drive for awhile so nothing else can distract me from those lil' lovelies

baby news...

Hi...

I only post today because I have managed to make my desire to have a third baby the business of everyone whether they liked it or not. I have even told my school advisor and one of my theater instructors from fall '07 so now that I have a good portion of american citizens alerted to my conception schedule, here's the news.

There is no news. We can schedule to have fertility tests this week, when they would be the most optimal, but I'm going to skip it. With our maternity insurance running out July 31, 2009, time has run out at least for now anyway. We are interested in adoption but I'm just not up to thinking about it, at least until the holidays are over. So many of my friends are pregnant right now, and I really am VERY happy for them but... you know.

I wouldn't even bother posting about this with Halloween photos and all (which I will add this week) but my mom in California had asked a little while back how the baby experiment was going. It then occurred to me that people are going to start asking because I've made such a big deal about it.

I have two really great kids who keep me busy and usually content. I have spent the last year so caught up in my baby hunger for another #3 that I've forgotten to enjoy the son and daughter I have now.

I'm sad.

I'm very sad, I tried to not let it interfere with Halloween weekend but I found out Friday that it's just not going to happen right now.

You don't need to post any comments or anything I'm just putting the word out in case you were wondering.
