Christmas in the E.R.

So anyways, this Christmas was not what I expected. I ended up in the E.R. for the day. It started out on Tues 12/23. I have had alot of headaches the past week and so while at work I decided to take my blood pressure per my moms advice. I did and it was really high. People at work thought I should go to the E.R. so I did. They did a CAT scan and spinal tap and eveything came out good. The Dr. thought the headaches were stress related which then gave me high blood pressure. So I got to go home that night. On Wed. I woke up from an afternoon nap with my head pounding when I sat up. That continued through Christmas morning. I decided to go back to the E.R where they diagonsed me with a spinal headache. They ran a caffeine drip and gave me pain meds. That didn't help so they did a blood patch on the hole in my back from the spinal tap. That worked almost immediately. I then got to go home a couple hours later. So needless to says Christmas kind of sucked. The girls opened their presents and had fun playing but I couldn't play with them. I am feeling better now and hopefully stop stressing out. It seems life has so many stresses, but I need to focus on the people and things that give me joy !! Merry Christmas

New to blogging !

Well, I am new to this blogging thing but I figured I would try it out. I know I love looking at what family and friends are up to. Especially when we don't see everyone very often. Our girls are growing up so fast I love letting people know what and how they are doing.

So, I will get you up to speed. I am working at Saint Marys here in Reno as a Surgical Tech full time in the evenings. While Dan is staying at home with the girls. He is such a good daddy and they love being with him and I know they're in good hands ! Going back to work full time was a hard decision but being here in Reno with my parents and friends and being happy outweighed living in Idaho. Which we lived for 6 months last Oct-Apr. Growing up in San Diego and then living there didn't work out for us :) So anyways, Emilie just turned 4 and Taylor is 2. Both of them are growing up so fast. Both the girls love anything Princess or Barbie. They love dressing up and playing with their babies. Emilie is taking ballet classes once a week. And Taylor would if she was older. We are very active in a mommy playgroup. That's where I have met a couple of my closest friends. Emilie has a few best friends as well. So here are a few up to date pics and I hope I can keep up with this blogging thing !! Enjoy !!!

Emilie just had her 4th birthday !! We went to Boomtown and had a blast ! Jenn and her family came over from Sacramento and Brandon and his family. My parents also came to celebrate along with some of our friends !



Taylor turned 2 in October and had her birthday at Chuck E Cheese ! We had lots of fun. Jen came with Loie and Meelah, my parents and a few friends. Taylor loves Chuckie.
