Please Scan down.
The posts were posted in opposite order and I don't know how to change them. My update post is at the bottom.
Going to overload you!
Sorry I haven't updated in so long, alot has happened this month. So here we go. I haven't felt like updating. I was so sad to see Lisa lose her baby. She is blaming herself because they don't know why she lost her. Lilly's funeral was over a thousand dollars! I think their should be a discount when things like this happen. It is hard enough to deal with the loss and then to have to pay that amount! I wish their was some magic word I could say to her to make her feel better but it just isn't so.
Carl's sister Gail was here for Thanksgiving. It was fun to have her here. This is when we did all our shopping for Christmas! Gail loves to shop! We bought to much for Ashton. It was just so much fun to go and buy for Christmas this year. We had a reason to shop. Carl and I rarely exchanged gifts at Christmas because we take that money and spend it on someone else. We always had someone that we gave a big gift to. This year it was definately going to be Ashton!
We went on our trip to NYC. It was great fun. However, I didn't take my camera with me. I didn't want to carry it with me. We didn't have much time to do hardly anything but walk. We went to Madison Square Garden (this is where we were dropped off), Time Square, Ground Zero and Rockerfeller Center. This best part of this trip was the cab ride to Rockerfeller Center!! It was like being on a roller coaster. LOL We were in the back with our hands up in the air! We had a great time. We were surprised to feel so comfortable on the steets of NYC. By the way it was freezing there!!
Ashton got a cold the Tuesday before Christmas. He was so sick. He ran a temp of 103.7! Nothing was working not even a cool bath so I called the dr at night and he told me to give him children's motrin which worked on bringing down the fever. He is still congested but he is dealing better with his cold than Carl. Carl got the cold for Christmas day! Knock on wood I still don't have it yet!
We had a nice Christmas with Ashton. He wasn't really interested to much in opening anything at all. He did like his toys that he got. The biggest hit was his roller coaster that NaNa and Granddad got for him. Believe it or not I don't have any photos of him on it yet! I will have to take one if I remember to. He was overwhelmed with the people and stuff. I did take photos of Christmas!
We took off the day after Christmas. I wanted to get my house clean! Our tree was falling down. With Ashton pulling on it and the cats climbing it, it looked really sad. For Christmas my sister cleaned my house just before Thanksgiving. (she even washed my curtains) That was the best gift I got. I felt the need to get my house back in shape. It is funny how it just falls apart like that. We brought all of Ashton's things home and well it looked like his bedroom threw-up!
On Wednesday, I went back to work while my Dad went to have surgery. He has a pacemaker that got an infection on the skin above where it is placed. Antibiotics didn't take care of it so the drs thought they would open up the skin and remove the infection. Well, as it turns out it was to much of an infection. So the drs decided they are going to replace the pacemaker and put it in a different location. They couldn't get one of the leads off of his heart so they called in a specialist who removed it. By then my dad had been under for 6 hours so they decide they were going to put a temporary pacemake in and finish up on Friday (yesterday).
Carl and I are going to go see him Wed. As we are walking into the hospital I passed out!! It was scary cause I was pushing Ashton in the umbrella stoller and I brought him down with me. He is just fine but I cracked my head a good one. It is hospital policy that if an emergency happenes outside the door an ambulance needs to be called. So I got to ride in the ambulance around the hospital! Oh I don't want to think about the bill for that!! The drs their couldn't find anything wrong with me and no I am not pregnant. That is what my mother was hoping for! Anyway, the Drs their wouldn't let me drive so I am off from work until Tuesday! (have the weekend and New Year's day off anyway). I finally got into the hospital to see my Dad on Thursday with no incidence's! LOL He did fine with the surgery on Friday and should get out of the hospital today.
Now you are up to date with my life. Told you alot has happened. I don't think I ever wrote this much but for my first post!! Here is a lot of photos!! You may have to look back a page for the pictures I am going to post!!

The post I didn't think would happen.
My friend Lisa called me today to tell me that Lilly has gone to heaven. I can't believe it. I just can't! Words can't express what I am feeling for her right now. Reasons unknown. I am in shock and I am angry. Why did she lose her? Why? It is bad enough when we experience this loss but to have to have 2 of them. I am just so sad right now. I would like for you to keep her and her family in your thoughts and prayers.

Wow a Month gone by!
I have been a really bad blogger lately! I am just so busy trying to keep Ashton out of things! He is on the go from the moment he wakes up until he is back sleeping again. I am only able to post this because he is now sleeping!
Let see, not much has happened! Work and life with Ashton. That about sums it up. This weekend I am going to NYC. It should be fun. I have driven through NYC more times than I care to remember but I never got to stop and visit. It is just a day trip. We will leave at 4am! and leave NYC at 7pm. This trip is just that a ride. It is up to us to do what we want when we get there. I want to see Ellis Island and Ground Zero. I would love to see a broadway show but those tickets are hard to come by and expensive! Oh how I wish FAO Swartz was still there! I will put pictures up when I get a chance to.
I have Ashtons Christmas photos and there are great! I have to work with a program to edit them that I am not used to so it may take a few days. I will post them too. We have done alot of shopping for Ashton for Christmas even though I said I wasn't going to buy much because he would be happy with just a box. Yes we have gone over board! My mother keeps reminding me that Ashton's birthday is just a month after Christmas. Like I would forget!! I am really excited about this Christmas. It will be his first and the first time in 3 years that I haven't been pregnant at Christmas. I will finally be able to enjoy the dinner!
I have been thinking of the second baby alot lately. I feel guilty for wanting another when I know so many women who haven't had their first yet. Am I wrong to want another? I love being a mom. It is the best job I have ever had. Yes, I am exhausted pretty much all the time now but I really don't care. My life is Ashton and I would love to have another. Carl and I are hoping to use our frozen embryos in the spring time. I just hope we can afford to do it. It isn't nearly as expensive to use them as it is to do all of the IVF. There are alot of women that I was pregnant with on pregnancy weekly that are now going to have their second and I am still jealous. Why is that? Infertility never ends even when you have one. It just hurts to see others get pregnant so easily. I know that other women can say that about me that the IVF took 2 times and you have one. I don't even know if any of what I have written makes sense or not. It just a feeling.
