Erica's Blessing Day and Weekend

Honestly, this weekend felt like a gong show. We've been working on a project all week. A bench that matches my coat hanger.

Friday night, Cam was going to finish it, and I ended up babysitting for a friend. Saturday I spent ALL morning running around with Logan, trying to get caught up on errands, to get ready for company coming and the Lunch after the blessing on Sunday. We ended up going to about 10 different stores. Got home around 1, and found out my in-laws were only about an hour out of Calgary. We spent the afternoon with them. Then that night Sandi and I went to the Relief Society Dinner and broadcast. I had a really good time there. Loved the talks! Worth a watch if you didn't make it! Then when we got home Lisa and Tyler were here to stay the night as well. We stayed up talking until about 11pm. RIGHT as I was falling asleep, at 12am, I heard crying. (Carter and Logan were sharing a room so Tom and Sandi had a place to sleep). So Cam went in there to find Logan crying and Carter stumbling around, obviously had been woken up. We set Carter up at the end of our bed and tried for an hour to get Logan to go back to sleep. He would cry kick and scream. So I finally told Cam to go sleep in Logans bed and I would lay with Logan in ours. FINALLY at 330. He feel asleep while I was feeding Erica. Then at 5am Erica woke up again to eat. So I got NO sleep. Logan was up at 6am. Ugh. So I dont even know what I was running off of. But I did good until about 2 pm.
We got to church for 9, and Cam blessed Erica. It was a beautiful blessing. Cam got chocked up, which got me chocked up. It was wonderful to see how this blessing helped bond them together. All day I would see Cam watching at her, and I could feel that there was a new bond there.At the end of church we went to go get the boys from nursery  We got Carter, but Logan was gone. After running around the church three times and not finding him, panic set in. After twenty minutes of people searching every classroom, the parking lot and the hill, we found him. He was in the sacrament room with parkland ward. I came around the corner to see a sister holding him. He was as white as a sheet. I guess I wasn't the only one who was scared. After church we headed to my parents house for the lunch. Erica went really Colicky and I was in major pain from not pumping all day. I started with Mastitis and was hurting really bad. After we left the rest of the day was eat and sleep. Not Much more!!

So i have been wanting to post all the projects i've been working on. But we are sick. Lovely flu. But the reason I am posting... Erica started rolling over yesterday! I could barley drag myself out of bed, but then i was greeted with this. She looks SO proud of herself when she does it too. Shes been trying since she was 2 months old. So I was wondering when she would get all the way. Shes 5 months in a week or so. She would only do it when you weren't looking. But now shes going crazy! She gets on her belly and tries to push with her feet. SO CUTE!!  She wont stay on her back anymore. Then when she rolls over she stares you down until you praise her. This is this morning. She is an old pro now.

Blogging it because I cannot talk about it.

Cam and I have told people more then once, "Carter is suspect Autism Spectrum Disorder". But after so many months of waiting, and having a specialist sit you down and say  "After observing you son, we firmly believe that he has Autism".   I now realize that I was not prepared to deal with the fact that Carter has Autisum.  I was, and still am, Devastated.  After the specialist told us of her conclusions she then asked , "Now after hearing that, how are you feeling? Are ok? Do you have questions? Can I help?" Honestly I thought I was fine. "We knew this was coming" I said. "I'm fine". Cams answer was the same. After she said "Yes, but sometimes having it confirmed makes it sink in, and you don't react how you thought you would". She was right. As soon as she said that I looked deeper and I knew I was ready to burst into tears. I wanted her out of my house and NOW. I knew Cam was dealing with his own feelings, so I h...

Kids Calenders

So I feel like I am doing A LOT of projects lately. It has been wonderful. I feel as if the "I just had a baby" haze is slowly lifting and I am feeling (sort of) human again. My first project was 'Cams Christmas Countdown' . There are more to come! This one is more of an on going project. But I loved the idea so much that I decided to share. I was at a friends house awhile ago, and I notice her wall was covered in Calenders. I of course asked her why. She told me that she doesn't have time to keep journals for all her kids, so she buys them their own calender every year, and keeps all of their appointments, play dates, birthdays... anything thing to do with that child on their calender. So when they get older, they can go through them and see what they did growing up. FANTASTIC. Ever since Carter was born, I have felt guilt at not keeping some sort of journal for my kids. I barley write in mine anymore. I usually will sit down with my journal and need to rec...
