So this week has been long and well....interesting.
Monday morning at about 3, i was awaken by a bad fever and a soar breast. Yes you guessed it, an infection. So i was super sick and made Richard come home (not at 3, he left at 5 i made him come home at 6) I called my beautiful friend who's husbands a Doc. I'm sure you all know who I'm talking about! And he lovingly gave me a prescription (THANKS) but i guess i was too late or it just got bad too fast. But after two days of fever and migraines and not functioning in any way, i was led begrudgingly to the Doc. office. So they pricked my finger (OUCH!) and said, the infection was in my blood stream and my white blood cell count was outrageously high(?). Of course i say sure, i totally know what your talking about. I ended up on an IV with antibiotics for two day and lo and behold....I'm feeling GOOD! Gotta love those infections, they are super fun.
So here are the most commonly used phrases in our house right no
Cate where are your clothes?
Emma why is Cate crying
Cate where is your diaper
Get out of the swing
Don't hit the TV with the hammer (Cate)
Emma please don't sing directly into the baby's face
Emma stop playing on the stairs, if you fall i wont be sad
I'm sorry you fell Emma but i told you not to play there
Now new things the kids are saying
EMMA:
I'm freaking out
dang
awkward
There is more but she is sick again and is not really being very funny, so maybe next week

Broke!
Cate is now officialy broke from the bottle, it went a little something like this
Attached to bottle
went to Utah, lost bottle
bought sippy cup, hated it
found bottle
lost bottle again, i was tired so i bought a new bottle
moved to Kentucky
stopped taking naps,no real need for bottle, but still had it
lost the last bottle
bought more sippy cups, calls them baba, but still hates them
wants only juice, neither of us give in
throws tantrums everynight for weeks
had a long evening and forgot to give her the sippy cup
she didnt care
now the sippy cups are lost
Thats about the jist of it
Now Cate has traded her baba for sleeping in Emma's bed, which she does everynight!

Catherine Cleo, some of my favorite pictures
Well today was Cates birthday, and i just need to say...WOW!! I cant believe its been two years. ( side note, for readers this is for Cate and me so a warning it will be long and sentimental)
I remember my pregnancy very vividly with Cate i was HUGE and always thirsty, but drinking water made me sooo sick i always ate ice. It became an obsession. A Sonic 44 ouncer PACKED with ice. Also my back hurt so bad, it was intence pain that led me to sleep on the couch for the last 3 weeks of pregnancy. The last week of my pregnancy i decided that i could no longer care for Emma and I needed some help bad. So on Wendsday the 8th i called my mom and told her i needed her help, so she jumped in the car and arrived Thursday at 5pm. Now before i get into this i should mention a couple of things. I had begged my doctor to induce me because my back hurt so bad, he said no. He also told me that Cate would be about 8 lbs. And that the pains i was having werent contractions just my uterus perpairing for birth(? bad doctor)
When my mom arriveed those pains had gotten worse and the doc. was not calling me back so i was at a loss for what to do. My mom had the ingenuis idea to get a watch and time these wierd uterus pains and lo and belod they were 3 minutes apart. So needles to say we got in the car and went straight to the hospitol where Rich met us.
Now this should be the end of the story, i should have had the baby with no problem, but i think that maybe the doc likes people to have difficult stories.
The Doc. refused to come in even when i was completly dialated and efaced, because my water had not broken. So at 5am he finally emerged and broke my water. I had been ready all night, toatly dialated and very irratated. When he broke my water he made a comment like "wow that is one thick sack" gross and irratating.
3 or 4 pushes later Cate emerged and was a hefty 9 lbs 11ounces, 21 inches. No where near 8 lbs. She was atleast 2 weeks overdue, she was peeling and looked like she had been in a bath too long, her nails were long and needed to be cut.
BUT... she was the most beautiful baby ever. She had a face like an angel and was sooo sweet. I just wanted to hold her and love her forever.
The pediatrician made the comment that i gave birth to a one month old, she was holding her head up and looking around. ( i now know she was looking for something to get into and cause some mischief)
We brought her home on friday early afternoon. Emma wanted to hold her all the time and gave her kisses all day long (well she still gives her kisses)
Cate continuest to lighten my life every day. She is definetly not the angel i brought home but teh entertainment theat she gives is worth the switch. She is mischievious and funny and adventurous.
These days Cate llikes to do alot of fun things..
climb on anything
watch movies
play at the park and YMCA
swim ( i have to watch her because she will jump iin without me)
play with hter babies ( she is very passionate about her babies)
she loves parker and wants to be with him alwaya
jump on the bed
play in makeup
brush her teeth( she is constantly asking to brush her teeth, and she looses her toothbrush alot)
she loves to play hide and seek, even if you dotn know that your playing
she wears mine and Richard shoes around
loves jewelry (especialy necklaces)
loves Elmo computer games
LOVES to take a bath its her most favortite thing ot do.
loves to give hugs and kisses, especialy to Emma
i cant believe that my baby Cate is now 2. All i feel when i think of her is JOY and LOVE. (and a little exhaustion:)
She no doubt makes our family so much better, i wish everyone could have a Cate to hold and love, i think that she could erase all the sadness in the world.
Cate we love you!!

Random thoughts
Well not alot has been happening, but i thought I should post a few thoughts.
I feel such respect for all single moms and moms who husbands are either out of town alot or work alot. Its harder then you think, getting no help with any daily activity is straining and draining.
Gotta love the Y. We joined the YMCA and we love it. Me and the girls love playing and swimming everyday. Richard has not been able to go.
Parker = no sleep. He is being really fussy, especially at night, and wants to be held constantly. Not just "held" but held in the way he feels is correct, me standing, him facing out and me rocking back and forth.
Cate is talking alot lately. She is putting words together like crazy. Her new favorite sentenses are-
press play on the movie, which comes out like, "pess pay o moby"
"emma where are you", comes out like, "memo R U"
"the baby is crying", comes out like, "baby es Cying"
I would like a snack please, well that actaully comes out in a physical action, she gets into my pantry and climbs to the top.
Emma is learning more every day, she is so smart and loves to sing, and she doese sing all day long. She learns new songs at preschool and adds more verses to it through out the day. She is so cuddly i have to tell her to stop kissing me, after 10 minutes of kisses and loves.
We finally got new matteres for the girls so we can now put up Cates big girl bed. Parker slept in the crib for the first time last night and i think he liked the space. He has been in the bassinet all this time (not entirely a safe place when he kicks around). Cates bed is not set up its just a mattres on the floor. Richard has been really busy. It has taken a week just to get the mattres up the stairs and the crib switched to Parkers room.
The weather here is crazy, several tornados this week and 90 mile an hour winds. So far the tornados have not been in our area, so we are all O.K.
Oh, i keep forgetting ot post about our house. Our little house in Cali, was broken into. It is vacant and so i guess a pack of wild teenagers thought it would be fun to break into it. They thrashed the place with paint and put holes in the walls. There is also graffitti everywhere. We do have homeowners in surance so it will cover the damages, so i guess it will be fine. I have pictures of the house but i cant seem to find them.
