Holiday Party at Westerly Hospital

My brother works for the Westerly Hospital and informed us that Santa would be there to visit with all of his friends and was going to ready a story to all the boys and girls. It sounded like great fun, of course the bummer was that I had to work. So wonderful Nonnie, packed the girls up and took them down to visit Santa and his friends. McKenna isn't so keen on Santa but absolutely loved the reindeer....so much so, it appeared that she was stalking him...LOL.

Checking out the lights

Some relative's of ours always do an eleborate display of lights and decorations. This year has been the best yet...they even have a path so you can walk in and check everything out. McKenna was in absolute amazement. Of course my battery died so I only got a few pictures...we had lots of fun and McKenna didn't want to leave.

We have been elfed!

There is always more...sigh

So right now I am in a mad dash to get all of my holiday chores done. I have spent the last two days doing my Christmas cards, we are putting up the tree on Sunday and I have to get everything wrapped by Sunday night too...why you ask? Because my pregnancy with Landree is still trying to kill me!!! I swear I have not met a single other person who has had more issues than me...especially non pregnancy related ones. Really the only pregnancy related issue I had was the gestational diabetes. The crazy rash, well that was just some crappy weird timing. Anyway, I got an IV for re hydration back in July after one of my many bouts of being ill, at that time I told the nurse my IV hurt, but it was not infiltrated and she told me it was fine. It got to the point where I told them I was feeling better just so they would take it out. Well ever since then I have had issues with my veins in that hand, they get very swollen and hurt. My Dr. said it was just phlebitis and to put heat on it...ummm 5 months later, they still hurt and are even worse. So I go back to the Dr. and they give me an answer...they have no clue what is going on...great answer hunh. But they referred me to a vascular surgeon. I saw her yesterday, and she wants to cut it open. Fun hunh! Especially because I am right handed...so Monday I go back for an in office procedure where they will cut it open, drain some of the blood build up and try to figure out why it is happening. Luckily I won't have to be out of work, it will just put a damper on my mobility in that hand...especially when it comes to wiping my butt...LOL

Christmas Portraits

We took the girls to get their Christmas pictures taken last night. They came out okay but they could have been better. The photographer we had was not as good working with kids as ones that we have had in the past. This is deffinitly a busy time for us due to the holidays and my return to work so I am sorry that I haven't been posting as often...I hope you enjoy the pictures.
