San Antonio

This past weekend Rusty and I took a trip to San Antonio. I forgot my camera so until I get the pics developed from the throw-a-way camera I don't have any goodies to post. We got into San Antonio Thursday night, thanks to Rusty's super great driving!

Friday, we went to Prime Outlet. Talk about the best outlet stores I have ever seen!!! I couldn't afford any of it but it was great! They had Off Saks 5th Ave, Last Call Neiman Marcus, Barney's and best of all (the only one I could afford) Victoria's Secret!! I was in shopping heaven. After shopping and eating we drove to the the river walk downtown. It was really pretty down there. Lots of walkways, bridges and waterfalls also tons of restaurants, shopping and people. We walked up and down for a while then headed over to the Alamo. It was pretty cool. (I think I need to brush up on history though)

Saturday, we hit Six Flags, which is down in a canyon type thing. All around are big stone walls. It was really pretty. I wussed out on all but two rides. I know... I'm a chicken. Normally I'm so brave when it comes to coasters but I couldn't do it this time. I ate lots of food though. So, that made me happy! Rusty was super brave... he had to ride most of them by himself, I am such a great wife though, I stood in line with him ; )

Sunday was the best day of all! We went to Sea World. I LOVE animals. So this was the best park I have EVER been to. We got to see Shamu and three other spectacular orcas. They jumped and played. At one point the trainer was being pushed (orca nose to human feet) through the water then the orca jumped 15-20 ft in the air with the trainer standing on his nose! It was the coolest thing ever. We also watched a beluga/dolphin show. One of the beluga whales had a baby.... it was so little and cute. Also, there was a seal, walrus and sea otter show. It was a really cute comedy skit. All around it was the greatest day.

We really missed Abigayl the whole time and really wished she could be there with us. But, we enjoyed watching the reactions of all the kids around us. At one point, Rusty won a huge stuffed fish, so he gave it to a little girl that was eyeing it. It will be things like that that will make us feel like she is there with us.

Thank you

I just want to say thank you to everyone that has kept us in their thoughts and prayers. I know that it strengthens us more and more every day. I ask that you please continue to pray for us for the weeks and months ahead. I feel that those may be the toughest until we find our new normal.

For anyone wanting to attend the viewing, the hours are from 9 am - 9 pm both today and tomorrow. Rusty and I plan to be there all day, both days. We were able to see her last night and she looks beautiful. I can only imagine that she is the most beautiful angel in heaven and now she is smiling down on every one of us.

Memorial Service

We made the arrangements yesterday. There is a viewing Saturday and Sunday with a memorial service on Monday at 12:30pm. Gary and Patty are having a reception after at the family center. All of the events are at Floral Haven in Broken Arrow.

Thank you so much for all of your thoughts and prayers. They are really helping us through these tough times.

Loss of an angel

I am so sad to say that our sweet baby Abigayl passed yesterday. I know that she is in Heaven smiling down. She will be forever loved and very much so missed. I just ask that you pray for our family in this time of memory and reflection. I know it will be a long, painful road but that we are never faced with more than what we can bare. Just please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.

Yeah for solids!

Yesterday Abigayl achieved two big milestones. First, she rolled from back to front. This may be a one time deal like the whole front to back was. But, she did it. It took a lot of work to get that arm out from under her (she's not lite) but she finally got it out of the way!

Second, she got her first taste of rice cereal last night. I think she liked it. She kept swallowing it and she didn't fuss. She probably only ate a teaspoon or two but it's progress!!

Sometimes she felt she needed to wipe her tongue on her bib.

Thanks to her gums, I was able to wipe food off into her mouth.
She kept it in fairly good.
Daddy got his turn.
He's such a good dad.
This is how we knew she was all done.

Migraine... help please.

Yesterday I ended up with the worst migraine. I knew it was coming because I was seeing spots. I took my meds before I felt any pain but it did no good because I still had to go through all the yuck of a migraine. So, does anyone know of any GOOD migraine meds? I appreciate any help on the matter.

4 months

My sweet baby is 4 months... it is absolutely mind boggling that time can fly SO fast. I look through her album and it is amazing to see how much she has grown! We went to her check-up yesterday, she weighs in at 18 lb. 7 oz. (off the chart!) and is 24 in. long (40%). Because her weight/height ratio is so off she equals a butterball!!

Today the poor girl is not feeling well. I don't know if it's her shots, maybe she's teething or a combo of both. But, she's got a temp and she is extremely fussy (which is unusual). I just hope that she starts feeling better soon... I hate feeling helpless and hate even more the fact that she's not feeling good.
Getting ready to head to my doctors appointment
At her 4 month check-up... getting ready to scram after 3 shots and some liquid stuff. Too bad I can't cheer her up with some ice cream. Oh yeah, she does get to start on baby cereal!!!
