busy bee*

I’ve decided I am going to become an addict to my blog like I am with Facebook.

There has been SO much going on lately. Jon has started working shift which means we rarely see each other. There have literally been days I don’t see him at all. We have increased Preston’s therapy to *hopefully* speed up the process of his progress. Jordan & Haley had their baby girl (our niece), Lilly a week ago & mom was just in town & I am still working on my weight loss goals (25lbs down so far). CHAOS! But I like being busy its keeps my mind off of things.

Mom came this past week & for once it wasn’t too extremely hectic. Normally she tries to cram in a million things to do & this time we didn’t really do much of anything..which was nice. Its good when people who don’t see Preston much see him & can notice his progress. We’re all with him everyday so we don’t see it like others do. Its comforting to know he has made enough progress to where it is noticeable to others. Sometimes I feel like its all going SO SLOW. Its hard to be positive all the time.

Since mom was here I got to spend a LOT of time with Sarah & Evan (niece & nephew). They are such GOOD kids. Its almost hard to believe my brother is their dad J lol I wish I could get them more..i offer to keep them all the time. I want them to know they can always come to me for anything.

Our BEAUTIFUL niece was born last week & when I say she is one of the most beautiful newborns I have ever seen it is the truth. She has the cutest chubbiest cheeks & is precious. AND best part she is 100% HEALTHY. Thank you God!  Which we didn’t expect any problems since Haley's pregnancy was healthy overall! I did have some what of a meltdown when I was home after she was born & I had just laid Preston down for the night…I blame it partially on PMS but I just kept looking at her newborn pictures & I got so upset bc I didn’t get to have that..I didn’t get to see Preston & hold him when he was born or have family watching as the nurse brought him to the nursery to see him for the first time. I am SO glad Jordan & Haley did and I am SOOOO happy she is perfectly healthy but I was just having a bad day & I couldn’t help but ask why me?! I believe God has a plan for everyone & I know I am strong enough for the hand we’ve been dealt but sometimes I have my moments when I cant hold it together anymore.

In other news…

I bought a camera in April of last year..not just any camera I went out on a limb and bought myself a super expensive nice camera so that I could take pictures of Preston 24/7. It has worked MAYBE 2 months out of the year that I’ve owned it. Best buy has made their second “repair” last week…I got my camera back on Saturday after they had LOST it. Yes, best buy LOST my camera somewhere in the back. Saturday afternoon I am snapping pics left & right and what do you know the screen gets all these vertical crazy colored lines & quits working……SERIOUSLY?!? I *WILL* be getting a NEW camera ASAP for free. Or I will be arrested at Best Buy.

Things are crazy but I am going to try to make posting a habit. J

Heres a few pics I was able to get before the camera died on me again.
