Snow Day!

Today was the first official snow of the season where I live in Michigan. We drove to church this morning with Adam locking up the brakes and skidding to show me what not to do. I really did cry for a minute. I know I'll just have to get over it and slow down. It'll take me forever to get places so I have to plan accordingly. 

When we got to church, Bri was so excited. She kept saying "Snow is on my face! It's snowing!" Lol. Her joy was contagious. 


Bri and I played in it for a little bit after we got home from church. 

Yes, she is playing with a lollipop in her mouth. Don't blame me, her father said it was ok. 
After lunch, we got Avi in on the action. Adam and I were sweaty from getting both their stuff on. Avi was slow to warm up as per Avi-usual. 
It took forever to get her boots on too lol. 

She hadn't used them and refused so we left the tag on in case but she wore them in the snow so we can probably cut it off now. 

The fun part was getting taken around in the sled by dad. 


Bri got in on some sled pulling action. 


We had a great time as a family. I know the snow won't be fun forever but I'm trying to make the most of it. In the mean time, pray I stay safe on the road!! Thanks for reading. Have a great week!

I debated many-a-times writing this blog post but I was afraid people would think I was looking for attention. That's not what this is about. I'm writing for awareness. To take away some of the STIGMA that comes with having a developmentally delayed child. So I'll start from the beginning... Averiana Eden was born last April. She is different than her sister, although they have a lot of facial similarities. Pretty much, from the start, she's been the polar opposite of Bri. Bri is independent, friendly, outgoing, and a big ball of energy. Avi is much more relaxed, not as warming to strangers, very hesitant and is content if you're just snuggling with her. Obviously as she's getting older, she's blossoming into a different girlie.  We knew early on she was behind on her gross motor skills. She sat up late, she rolled over late, she had a funny frog/army crawl. When she was a baby, I had noticed her head was getting flat in the back and asked her child care...

Ari's Birth Story

Image
I wasn’t quite sure where to begin my birth story so I’ll start with my 38 week checkup. I was 3-4 cm and 75-80% effaced so I had my membranes swept. It seemed like if anything was going to happen it would in 48 hours or so. The next day I was having contractions and they were bearable but I decided to go in and see if there was any progress. There was a bit but no consistent labor. It was an emotional couple of days thinking she was going to come, arranging for our other 2 girls to go somewhere and then to have it stop altogether. So at my 39 week checkup, I had another sweep where I was 4-5 cm and 80-85% effaced. Still nothing!! 3 days later I’m pretty much a wreck and call the office to see when I can get another sweep because I could not go past 40 weeks (I know, I know, it’s safe until 42 but emotionally and physically, I was just done!). Jenny said to give it a couple of days and if nothing had happened, we could do another sweep.  At this point, I had been getting harde...

Cold September Day

Image
So, uh...Fall has officially arrived in Michigan. Although, I'm told, this is pretty unusual for this time of year, I'm not buying it lol. Avi says "'Un-seasonably cold' my booty! " This morning we were just bums and lounged around the house. We worked with Avi's walking between me and Adam. She did fine. She can pick up her left leg pretty good but not the right so that's something I'm going to bring up in physical therapy. We planned on going to a family event here in Bay City called Kid's Block Party. It was hosted by Great Lakes Bay Moms . They are a great resource for things to do in the tri-city area. I actually found Bri's swim classes on there. Their Facebook  is great too. They post "Daily Picks" of events going on around town. Sure glad I found them. Thanks, Amy S. for the recommendation! Guy on stilts and wearing short sleeves in 48 degree weather. It was really cold but we bundled the kids an...
