Busy Busy Busy...

Things have been so busy around here! First off... I havent had any migraines in 4 days!!! Yay go me!

Second, we joined a new play group! We went to our first playdate at Lowes on saturday. DJ made a School House! He did really well, he just needed a little help with the hammering. Here he is after he finished! He was so proud!!!

Here is the badge he got after he finished his Project! They get a badge after every project and the parents sew them onto their aprons!

And a close up of the finished project!

Today we had a Playdate/Craft at Raleys. When we got there the kids started to make Cherrios Necklaces =) The kids ate more cherrios than they put on their string... lol

After everyone got there we started on the Mother's Day Craft! They decorated plant holders with stickers, googley eyes, ribbon, buttons, puff balls and more! The kids had a blast putting everything together! After they decorated the plant holders, they got as many flowers on sticks as there were people in their families, some green easter grass and the green blocks that you stick the flowers in and put the flowers and green grass in the plant holder.... and Ta Da!

Here is DJ with his flower pot and cherrios necklace =)

Here is Reagan's Flower Pot!

After the playdate, My friena Amanda met us at the mall and we got some Ice Cream!

Hope you all have a great week!!!!

I have a good brain =)

Last night I went back to the ER and they did a C.A.T. Scan on my brain because of my migraines. The results came back and my brain is normal and healthy!!!

They are going to refer me to a neurologist and get me set up on some migraine medicine.

I just wish I knew what was causing all of my migraines and why my body goes numb when I get them... Thats the scary part!!!

I got all of DJ's paperwork ready so I can go and register him for preschool!!! He is so excited to go to school!! He can:

Count to 16 in english!
Count to 6 in spanish!
Knows red, blue, yellow, black, white in spanish and all the other colors in english too!
Knows his shapes!
And we are working on the alphabet!!!

I cant believe that he will be 3 in a month and a half!!!

Reagan is doing really well with her speech! She is finally putting words together and is talking a lot more!!!!

My babies are growing up way too fast!!!

Migraines, Migraines please go away!

I have been getting very bad migraines since I was a teen. I know I'm in a lot of trouble when I feel a migraine coming on. The first time I had a migraine I was in bed for 2 days.

When I know I'm getting a migraine, my right foot will go numb and the numbness will make its way up the right side of my body and chest. Then it will work its way down the left side of my body. Every inch of my body will become numb and they don't know why. Ive had MRI's done and no doctor can find a reason as to why my body does what it does. Once the numbing goes away, I get sharp pains in my temples and my head feels like its going to explode. Then comes the nausea and I'm completely incapable of doing anything, let alone caring for two young children.

I got a really bad migraine on Friday and had to go to the ER and get an EKG done and a bag of iv fluids along with some mag sulfate. On Wednesday I had a bad attack again and had to go to the ER again, but this time they gave me two shots in the butt and they started going away.

I usually only get 5-10 bad migraines a year but having 6 in a row is pretty scary. Ive also noticed that after every migraine, my eye sight has gotten dramatically worse. I just wish my kids don't get these migraines like I do, since they are hereditary.

oh migraines, how I loathe you!
