Sea World

So for one week the kids & I have been confined to our small apartment.  We only left once to go to the doctor.  This is because I need to take it easy & because we live on the top floor it is too hard on me to try to get the kids to & from the car.  Especially cause they always fall asleep!  Anyway so David decided to get us out  & get some Vitamin D!  We headed to Sea World for the day.  It was a lot of fun & perfect weather!  We took it very easy, saw a few shows & ate lots of treats!  Sawyer loved the shows & sat through them clapping, & smiling!  We finally figured out what language he speaks.....whale!  At least that is what it sounds like.  Olivia was amazed at the animals & they all seemed to be her favorite!  But we are afraid once again nothing made her happier than her bucket of popcorn!  Here is some pics from our day!

Update

Ok we realized that we haven't really updated on what went on last week & how we are doing this week! So here is our run down with little explanation! :) Olivia is finally doing well! She has been fighting a cold, allergy, ear infection sense the beginning of March! She is weighing in around 30 lbs & is 36 inches tall! She knows her letters, & learned to spell her name. She misses her grandparents, friends & kids in general. There is no one here but us so it makes it hard to have play dates & just other little people for them to interact with. Sawyer is finally doing better as well. He has had on and off two ear infections sense we got here in February. A few weeks ago he and Daddy found them selves in the ER due to having Bronchitis & an ear infection. But finally he has been cleared of any ear infections according to the doc and just needs to stay on his asthma medication. He is weighing in at 25 1/2 lbs & 30 inches long. He is busy running around, playing with Olivia & trying to learn the word NO! I had a hard time finding a doctor when I got to town. Apparently some doctor offices don't except you as a patent unless you start to finish with them during a pregnancy! Which I know that my dream has always been to run around the USA trying out new doctors & then randomly picking a State, House, & Hospital to have a baby! But anyway I finally found one on the list of approved insurance docs and made an appointment. David & I were highly disappointed but figured we would tough it out & make it work for this short 5 months! Went back by myself for the second appointment, came out in tears & never wanted to see him again! He is horrible, rude, & just plain stupid! But I decided that I probably could make it through just two more appointments with him until I can get to MONTANA! Well, then last week came and blew that theory out of the water! I began spotting, contracting, cramping and things were not going well. Called him got an appointment for the following day. I had to take the kids myself due to last minute & David needed to fly. I figured couldn't be that big of a deal since he made me make an appointment for the next day! OH WAS I WRONG! I landed myself right into the hospital gown, IV & two kids running around a labor & delivery room! David got there as soon as possible & I laid there on monitors for 30 hrs. I was given steroid shots just in case but after the rest everything seemed to quiet down. The baby is doing very well, right on target, & they think the preterm labor was due to an infection & stress! I went in for a check up this week and everything is still going well. As long as I am taking it easy I don't seem to get myself into contractions and so far medicine is helping! (Plus the fear I have to go back to the hospital/doctor!) I will go back in two weeks and get checked out again. Ok and last but not least David! He is such a great man, with a lot on his plate! Sense being here has missed out on the sick part until this week! He is fighting a sinus infection but hasn't missed a beat! He is here learning a new jet (weird not all jets fly the same!), learning how to teach someone else to fly this new jet, new co-workers & new patches! He has also had to drive us down to Del Rio (6 hrs) to go house hunting. Our first time wasn't very successful but did see a few houses. We really liked one but figured it wasn't going to work out so didn't do to much pondering about it. Went again and found a few we really liked. When we got back from looking last week we decided to put in an offer. But due to some wrong information we ended up putting in an offer to the house we really liked from the first trip! After a few negotiations we ended up getting the house! Would love to tell you all about it but we don't seem to really remember! ")So he is busy working on that, selling a car, refinancing our other house, cooking, cleaning, being a Daddy, working, taking care of me & even does laundry! We are currently all still breathing but that is about it! We have turned it over to God and realize that he is in control & the reason for doing every stressful thing in life all at once is the plan! We just want to thank you for all the prayers, thoughts, and patience. We appreciate you all bearing with us! We know we will get through this.
