Boat Ride/School Time!!

These are Kaiden and Kalan's footprints and I wrote their names in the sand. One day when I get a good camera I'm going to do this! Wouldn't that be such a cute pic?

As if my camera didn't suck enough!! We went to take this Assateague boat tour and I forgot my camera so we were left with the cell phone photo's! ACK! But we passed by that pirate ship!! I want to take the boys on it when Kalan is a little older! They will have so much fun!!! But we went on this boat ride and it took us throughout the bay showing stuff and the insane houses lining the beach!! Then we went to a part of assateague island and got off to go "clam diving" diggin or something or other. Basically we had nets and got seaweed in them! LOL! It was so much fun and Kaiden still talks about it! It was so nice and relaxing too.

August 25th I had my "surgery"!! Well kind of, it was more of an outpatient procedure at first. It was to take out my IUD, but it turned out that part of my IUD had attached to the wall of my uterus!! Or my tissue grew onto part of it! So joyous for me it's been 20 days of bleeding!! Including 5 of Aunt Flo, the rest form doc messing with my IUD/surgery! It's no fun and is showing no sign of stopping!! I go back on the 19th so I'm hoping it will have stopped!!! I tell you what I'm pretty annoyed and still in pain! It's not as bad unless my body goes through a surge and then I feel like my ovaries are exploding! UGGHHH!

Now!! I started school on the 2nd!! We went to an orientation, Class on Wednesday, and clinical orientation today. This is going to be one heck of a ride!! Sucky thing is the bookstore really did a number on me and our pocket book!! They had the wrong edition of our books in and so when I went to get the ISBN# of the books to look up on half.com I bought the wrong books! So now I had to pay full price, on top of what I already paid for the not useable books, and had to get the right ones. Plus the one book that was correct isn't in yet and I need it for tomorrow! LUCKY ME! They are something interesting right now our uniforms are backordered too! But they got their money so they ain't worried I guess! But I do get to do an entire day at some point to watch/help with surgeries!! That's going to be the coolest!! But our schedule is packed, got insanity due every week! But I'm praying like crazy, got the good Lord on my side. Hoping that since this is what I want to do that I just GET IT and it won't be sooo bad, Ya know??

And... the boys started back at daycare. It's Dawn's house and they love it there. Kalan don't even want anything to do with us when we come to get him! He doesn't even want to leave! And he no longer cries when I leave. I know I know, such a good sign and good big boy, but at least I knew he wanted me!! LOL! I miss spending the time with them already! It's sad because I'm never going to have as much time to just hang out with them, like I did this summer!! But we'll get through these 2 years and life will be grand!

Ain't I lucky?

HAHA! NOT! So I went into labor about 8 hours before my normal doc came back from Vacation/could get a sitter for her kids. TRUST ME I TRIED TO GET HER!! So with her, Dr. Ravasio, I had already decided and signed to have my tubes tied (seared LOL) during the C-Section. But alas, the other doc was so worried about me being so young and Lord forbid something were to happen to the kiddo's or my husband, what if I wanted to have another one down the road. A replacement baby I guess? I was so upset and scared to decide now. I knew I was done, but what would I feel in that situation? Would I want another baby? Then he told me about the GLORIOUS Mirena IUD. It essentially sounds amazing and for any normal person without the worst female part luck, prolly would be great! No fuss Birth Control for 5 years! And can get immediately preggerz after you get it taken out??!! SO.....

Speed to current day. My IUD has been originally thought to have been expelled by my uterus, from a $200 Ultrasound (U/S), is now found by a $20 U/S that shows it is malpositioned. I need an outpatient procedure with a scope/ultrasound during to get it out. BUT I went to Dr. Elizabeth Pernal of Eastern Shore OBGYN and she laughed when I said I was told by previous doc I needed OR time for this/anesthesia! She told me she could just do it right there in the office and said scoot on down! So as she goes in after it, I am immediately hit with excruciating pain. Guys, I have a rather high threshold for pain. I normally don't cry from pain. But after 10 minutes of her LITERALLY FISHING IN MY UTERUS, I was flooded with tears. I had been screaming and almost jumping off the table!! She was like sorry I'm hurting you but I just can't find it. She wasn't using anything but the previous report from my U/S. But I haven't even gone through nursing school yet and I know that it's free floating in my uterus and moves! Anyways, so I was in agonizing pain crying crying crying in pain, and she says, well guess now we do have to go to the OR!!!! WHAT??!!! OMG! She couldn't find it after all that. At least this time she will be using a U/S during and I WILL BE OUT!! LOrdy, what was she thinking?? I DUNNO!! But now I'm in worse pain than I was with the stupid malpositioned IUD! Ain't I lucky??

Where's Kalan?

Giving Kaiden some loving!

Looking at the prop to get them to smile as I was bringin it around!! LOL!

New Addition to the Fam!

PRESENTING HEMMY FISH KEENER! We went into Wal-Mart for ABSOLUTELY nothing today. I had to return a movie to the Redbox! And we took a stroll...got some throw pillows, couple of shirts, a new "E" for Kaiden's name on his wall in his room, and then we went to say hi to the fishies! THEN, Kalan went nutso, WOOOOOOW!! OHHHHH! WOW!! And since he just had his MR. Pee Pee sliced and diced....I just couldn't deny my love! So we got a fish bowl and embarked on picking one out. The fish guy said Beta's are the lowest maintenece guys and are loners too! We can't be having lots of fish, and apparently this guy fights with others. He was fighting his reflection a bit in the plastic bowl! LOL! So there you have it! Our kid's first pet! I was driving home thinking, gee golly, I just made a new chore for me! Get to clean ol' Hemmy's tank every week! YIPPEE! At least the kiddo's are happy, until they forget about him in a week!

Kalan's Surgery and Update

Kalan had his Circumcision Revision done finally on the 8th! It was successful and he did great! They had me go back to the OR with him and hold him until they held him down and put the mask on him to put him to sleep. It was very unsettling seeing my little man held down and fight, fight, fight, then OUT!! I don't reccommend that to anyone! The 1st night was bad because everytime he went pee he would fly! He was climbing the walls trying to get away from the pain. Screaming bloody murder! It was very sad. We had to call the doc and get the dosage upped. He only needed it for the 1st day because he had a caudal done. This is where they do a spinal that numbs only what would touch a saddle. It lasted from 11am to about 5:30 and we gave him a dose of his meds. He fell asleep for a few hours and we got home, went to Dennis' ma's for dinner, and almost as soon as we got home the pain hit him. But after the 1st day and half he only needed the normal dosage. Now he's climbing all over me and going nuts. You would never think he's got stitches in his Mr. PeePee!! Except when he falls! He's so stinking cute he's trying to type right now! It will take about 4-6weeks to completely heal and 3 weeks until he can straddle us, like carry him on the hip, or any toys.

Now me on the other hand, I'm falling apart. Most of you know I had the joyous option to have my tubes tied with My C-Section. I chose to and then I went into labor 8 hours earlier than my scheduled C-section and got a diff doc and he talked me into getting an IUD instead. Well it lasted for a good year or so and then I couldn't find my strings. Had an Ultrasound (U/S) done and they said my uterus expelled it. So got on Birth control and had another U/S done last week to check to see if my cyst on my ovary was gone. THEY FOUND MY IUD! And it was malpositioned. Hilarious that I paid 200 bones and they didn't see it, but this one was only 20 and they saw it right away! So now I have to have surgery of some sort to get it out because the strings to get it out are in my uterus. I haven't heard anything about what exactly they will do yet. They said it's an outpatient procedure and I have to be put under. They are working on getting me some kind of health insurance, the case manager at the doc I see. I go back on the 25th and will find out the exacts then, but I'm pretty sure there is no cutting just using a scope and then pulling it out with an IUD hook. But we'll see. I will let ya know! Pray for me though cuz it hurts!! And hurts right now too!

Happy Birthday TO MEEEEEE!!
