Blind Leading the Blind

So...today I take Kiley and Wyatt in for a routine eye exam. This was my big mistake! Not really, Kiley now has ambliopia just like Cole and Andrew. How is this possible. She was perfect two years ago! She even has to have bifocals. Luckily she doesn't need the same kind of therapy for her eyes that Cole did. They are going to give her lens therapy. Wyatt is a whole different story and is also getting glasses. He is extremely far sighted. This is why he can hit a baseball and make a basket in a regular hoop but he can't feed himself cereal. His fine motor skills are lacking because he can't see what he is doing. I feel so bad for them. Am I horrible for not having noticed these things? What is even worse is I am totally depressed about having all my kids having to wear glasses, not to mention the expense. This better be pregnancy hormones or I will feel really bad. Kiley picked out a cute pair of pink glasses and Wyatt chose some green ones. I will post pics as soon as they are ready.

Baby Update

Well I am now about 8 weeks from having this little boy. We got an amazing ultrasound and when I can figure out how to post it I will show you pictures. I am still seeing the Oncologist who said I have to have more IV's. I am starting again on Wednesday. Luckily I am getting really good with needles :) It is going to be a very exciting holiday season and hopefully I won't be too miserable to make it special for the kids. Cole has been wonderful. He is always helping me around the house. He has learned to love to vacuum and also to do the dishes. He helps with laundry too. Kiley woke up and cleaned her room today without even being asked. What a good girl. I love that they love to help out. What special gifts the Lord has blessed me with. Where would I be without them.

Excitement!

So, for the last session of Conference we went to a friends house to watch it with them. The kids were all great. They had to listen for key words and if they heard it they got a M&M. Cole and Kiley were especially excited for this game :) After the session ended we had dinner and the kids played out in the backyard while the parents all chatted. All of a sudden we hear screaming and Cole is carrying Wyatt into the house. I look over and there is blood dripping down his chin. Now, normally I would FREAK out! Especially since Andrew had gone home to do homework. We got him all cleaned up and upon closer examination he split his gums open and both lips. Poor Kid! After a few minutes of crying and me shoving ice on his mouth he wanted to go back outside. Thats my little tough guy. However, during this whole ordeal Cole came running in with his mouth bleeding a tiny bit because he pulled his tooth out. Normally I would sit and cheer for this big accomplishment but as you can see my hands were busy. Now both boys have sore mouths but they are as happy as ever!
