<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Afterwards we went down to the 5th Ave Mall and had lunch at the food court. While at the mall, Emily was interviewed by some tv station about her opinion on the resurgence of 90's fashion. Her opinion, for those wondering, is that she's too old for it, and too young for it. Too young because she wasn't a part of the original movement, so she has no nostalgia for it, and too old because she's not a teenager now. (Did I get that right Emily?)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Gayle and Dad also introduced us to a new store, Oil & Vinegar? Or was it Vinegar and Oil? Either way, we LOVED trying out all the delicious flavors of oil and vinegar for sale there. I love vinegar, and loved all the fruit flavored ones. Mmmm. Peach vinegar was a winner, but let's be honest, I don't think I met a vinegar I didn't like. </div>

At first we thought about going to the Zoo, but in the end decided that the kids would have a lot more fun at an indoor "bounce house" place where it was warm and they could run around. We were right!<br />
<br />
The kids had a great time bouncing, climbing, playing games, and sliding with their cousin Ember.<br />
<br />
Thank you so much Alisa, Matt and Ember for the awesome time!<br />

I managed to snag a blury picture and the kids were excited to see their first moose!<br />
<br />
Later that day I accompanied Lucy, Clara, and Henry to the backyard where they made more snow angels and generally rolled around in the snow to their hearts content.<br />
<br />
Side note: For Christmas Lucy got a digital camera from Zach's parents, and she brought it with her to Alaska to document the trip. I included her pictures and video clips in these posts as well.<br />

<br />
At this point it has been eight months since they happened, and my memory is failing me, especially after everything that has happened since then. I figure I better post about them before I forget completely. Thanks to pictures and a calendar I can piece together the time line of our EPIC ALASKAN CHRISTMAS VACATION! (I thought a booming echo voice would be appropriate here.)<br />
<br />
<br />
Dec. 18, 2016:<br />
<br />
We went to church with my Dad and Gayle. It was nice because their congregation (The Mighty Russian Jack Ward) had their special Christmas choir sacrament meeting that Sunday, so we were able to hear my dad sing in the choir. Growing up I always loved seeing/hearing Dad and Gayle sing in the choir together, and in high school I would often join them. It was also one of the things I first noticed about Zach when we were dating. He was one of the only men in the choir with me! Haha! (A tradition I'd love to pick up again one day.)<br />
<br />
Also as a special surprise, my cousin Rebecca had her baby blessed that same Sunday, and we were able to be there for that! I was SO good to see her and her family!<br />
<br />
A special shout out to Sister Pam Darby who was the first one I saw after we walked into the chapel. She gave me a huge hug which brought back so many memories and made me feel right at home again. I spent much of my summers as a kid in her home and playing in her yard with my siblings and her kids. I love brother and sister Darby. It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces.<br />
<br />
After church we had family dinner at my Dad's house. (Another one of my favorite family traditions.) I can't remember if Gayle made roast beef that Sunday, but that was what we used to have every Sunday we spent there as kids.<br />
<br />

Having had weird vision issues before, I thought I was having a repeat problem. I decided to relax, watch some TV, and take it easy.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As the day progressed I realized that I had a small blind spot in my right field of vision, which is what was making my vision seem different. I called my dad who recommended seeing an ophthalmologist as soon as possible in case it was a detached retina, which is serious and can get worse if not treated immediately. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I got an appointment to see the ophthalmologist and went in the next morning. They ran various tests on my field of vision, for color blindness, etc. </div>
<div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Being 18 weeks pregnant at the time, the ophthalmologist was hesitant to use eye drops to dilate my pupils, and determined that I needed to see a retina specialist. She explained the various tests that he would likely do, and that if he couldn't find the reason for the blind spot, that he would most likely refer me to a brain specialist. (Um, scary!)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I went home and helped my kids and family get ready to go to our annual church Halloween Carnival and Trunk-or-Treat. I opted out because my eyes were dilated, and I thought I should take it easy, as we didn't know how serious my eye problem was. (Don't want to knock around a partially detached retina!)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
While they were gone at the Halloween party I watched a movie and contemplated the words that the Dr. had said that morning. "If the retina specialist can't find out what it wrong, he will refer you to a brain specialist." These words really put the fear of death in me. My sister-in-law had barely recovered from a brain tumor months before, and the reality and possibility that this might be something as deadly and serious really scared me. Which is saying a lot, because usually I am very comfortable and accepting of death, but this made it so close and imminent. A few tears were shed while I considered the possibility of my own death.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The next day I went to the retina specialist to have more testing done. To my HUGE relief, he determined that I had suffered a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branch_retinal_artery_occlusion" target="_blank">BRAO</a>, a branch retina artery occlusion. Also known as an eye stoke, or a clot in one of the artery branches in the back of my retina. </div>

<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Yay! I finally had a diagnosis! And it wasn't something that required eye surgery to fix (detached retina) and it wasn't a brain tumor!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
He went on to explain that because of a clot in one of the small branches of one of the arteries, blood was not able to flow to those eye cells, and as a result no oxygen was able to get to them. Consequently, those eye cells basically died. Without oxygen/blood to make them work I had a blind spot in my vision. Pretty interesting. </div>

The big question now is, "why did this happen?" Or, "what caused this?" A BRAO is a pretty rare condition, and when it does happen, it most likely happens to 70 year old people with a bunch of health problems (smokers, diabetes, hypertension...), none of which I have. A real conundrum. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Being pregnant causes women to be in a state of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypercoagulability_in_pregnancy" target="_blank">hypercoagulability</a>, and can cause blood clotting issues. Not wanting to just assume it was a random pregnancy related occurrence, my retina Dr. had me get a bunch of blood tests done to rule out a blood clotting disorder, etc. (PS. All those test came back normal.)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There are no <i>proven</i> treatments for a BRAO, and being pregnant, they didn't want to take a chance on an unproven treatment. My Dr. also explained that over time the blind spot would become less noticeable as my brain compensated by using visual information from my healthy left eye to fill in the blank from my right eye. Also, over time the eye cells could start getting blood flow to them, and the ones on the edge that hadn't been completely cut off from blood could start working again, and as a result the "spot" could shrink around the edges. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Being many months since, I can report back that my Dr. was right! When the clot first happened, the blind spot was so noticeable that every few minutes I would see it/notice it. A few days later, it was every 20-30 minutes that I would notice it. A few weeks later, I only noticed it once every few hours. Now I only really notice it if I stop and close my good eye to find it, or if I am looking at something extremely close. Good job brain!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
They still don't know why it happened, and at this point chalk it up to a random pregnancy related event. I'm still praying that I don't have some weird undiagnosed disease or condition, and hope it was just an isolated incident. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am supposed to go in next month for a checkup to make sure that my eye isn't trying to regrow blood vessels which could be abnormal and cause other eye problems. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Also, while visiting with the retina specialist, I described my other weird vision problems that I had been having about once a year for the past 3-4 years or so. These included: one raging headache, numbness in my arm that would migrate to my hand and through each finger, and on my mouth, tongue, and nose, not being able to see/read more than a word at a time (like a narrowing of my reading vision), dizziness.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
He determined that it sounded like a <a href="http://www.complexmigraine.org/" target="_blank">Complex Migraine</a> that occurred in the part of my brain that triggered the numbness, vision loss, etc. Yay! Another successful diagnosis! I had even gone to the emergency room earlier in the year when having a particularly bad episode because I was afraid that I was having a stroke, had a brain tumor, or something terrible like that. After an MRI the ER determined that my brain looked great, and they had no idea what had happened to me. So, I was very glad to finally receive answers and a diagnosis from my retina Dr. on that worrisome random health issue as well.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Yes, it is a bummer that I am permanently partially blind in one eye, but I'll tell you what: I am SO grateful that it wasn't a bigger clot that could have caused me to lose my eyesight permanently in my <i>entire</i> right eye! And I'm even <i>more</i> grateful that it wasn't a clot that went to my heart or brain. I'm grateful that it <i>wasn't</i> a brain tumor. And I'm also grateful that it wasn't something that made me lose my color sight. LOTS of big and small things to be grateful for, but to me, they all seem big. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I will gladly live with a small reminder of all these things that I'm grateful for, especially to be alive and well. </div>

<div>
<br /><br /><br />A few weeks later at my OBGYN doctor appointment, I expressed to my doctor how tired and sick I was. She pointed out that I was burning the candle at both ends, as I was using all my energy to grow a new baby, as well as converting whatever energy was left over into breast milk for Henry. I determined that I would stop nursing Henry in an effort to regain energy and better make it through the difficult/miserable beginning of a new pregnancy. Especially since we had achieved the long sought-after milestone of nursing for one year, I felt good about stopping and all the success we had achieved up to that point. Good work team!<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
About a month later I went in for a 9 week pregnancy confirmation ultrasound. Everything looked great! A week later I had another appointment. This time they couldn't find a heartbeat. They did another ultrasound to double check, and it confirmed that I had suffered a "missed miscarriage", or a miscarriage where your body has not yet recognized that the baby has died. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We scheduled a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilation_and_curettage" target="_blank">D&C</a> for a few days later, on April 1, 2016. Ironically, we were at the same outpatient clinic two days before for Clara to have her trigger thumb surgery. While there for Clara's surgery, it was hard having to tell the nurses and staff why we were coming back in a few days. Going around living life, all the while knowingly carrying around your dead baby is a hard reality to live through.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The surgery went without incident, and we all went home to recover. Physically, and emotionally. We had testing done which determined that the baby was most likely a girl, and that there was no genetic problems that would account for a miscarriage. Just a random occurrence. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A few months later, I woke up and noticed my nose was stuffed up. "I think I'm pregnant again!" I contacted my OBGYN and let her know, and she had me immediately go get blood drawn to determine my hormone levels to see if I needed hormone shots to help me keep this pregnancy. I went in again a couple of days later for another blood draw to use for comparison. Later that night we were at Chick-fil-A for a family dinner when I went to the bathroom and saw the bleeding. I told Zach and we head home. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I messaged my doctor and let her know that I thought I was having another miscarriage, or possibly that I wasn't even pregnant and just had a late period. She let me know that the blood test had come back confirming that I had been pregnant, but that I had indeed suffered another miscarriage. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Fast forward to a few months after that...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Stuffed nose leads to a pregnancy test. Positive pregnancy test leads to blood work, doctor appointments, and off we go on my THIRD pregnancy for 2016. (For those counting, this is now my EIGHTH pregnancy overall.)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Everything was checking out good, and we had a healthy and viable pregnancy! We kept a close eye on her and eagerly looked forward to meeting the new baby sister due March 25, 2017, just in time for Henry to turn two before she was born. </div>

<br />
<br />
We set up the tree and a few Christmas decorations to enjoy for the few weeks before heading out.<br />
<br />
Notice that the tree got lights, but I never got around to putting any other decorations on it knowing it wouldn't be up for long.<br />

I had a lot of anxiety about this delivery. Not because I thought something would go wrong or anything like that. There was no real reason for it. The night before I barely slept because baby names were running through my head all night. It was really annoying. I should have asked Zach for a blessing that night, but I didn't get around to it until we were already at the hospital in between nurses checking in on us while we waited.<br />

After four failed attempts to put in my IV (two tries on each arm), they finally gave up and shoved it up the back of my left hand, which really really hurts. A lot.</div>

Throughout my various pregnancies I've adopted two mantras that I tell myself over and over in my mind:<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. "I'm healthy, I'm happy. I'm healthy, I'm happy"</div>
This one is great when trying to trick myself into smiling and pretending that I feel great while battling nausea, etc.<br />
<br />
2. "I can do hard things."<br />
This one is great to say to motivate yourself through something that is awful, like pregnancy!<br />

During this delivery/IV fiasco I adopted a new mantra to add to my growing collection. In order to not focus on the anxiety/pain of getting needles shoved into me repeatedly I told myself:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

I did notice something different with this c-section. I could smell something burning, which Zach later informed me was the doctor using some sort of torch to cut me open? Mmmm, the smell of burning flesh!<br />

Our dear friend brought the girls over later that evening so that they could meet their new baby brother. She snapped these pictures for us before heading home. The girls spent a little time visiting at the hospital, and then Zach took them home for the evening while I stayed at the hospital to recover from surgery.<br />

<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I was actually feeling surprisingly great at this point, besides the fact that holding my head up any farther than a few inches off my bed made me nauseous. Thankfully, this only happened three times, and I only got sick the last time. I was glad when that medicine finally wore off, but not happy when excruciating neck and abdominal pain came along with it. </span></span><br />

Once I got a heat pack for my back/neck on the third day it made a <i>huge</i> difference in comfort level, I was actually able to sleep. Henry was sleeping like a champ, but a little too much. I had to try to force him awake to nurse pretty much every feeding.<br />

<br />
The lady in charge of the social security paperwork kept stopping by and calling the room to ask if we had picked out a name yet. (We hadn't.) Finally after a few days of pestering, I told her that we would be there at the hospital until at least Friday, so she could stop by Friday morning and we would have the paperwork filled out then.<br />
<br />
We came home from the hospital Friday the 13th. The hospital paperwork had said that checkout was at 11 am, but we had to wait <u>ten hours</u> for the pediatrician to come and clear us to check out. Ooof! Luckily I had arranged a baby sitter to watch the girls that afternoon so that Zach could come pick me up. We thought it would only be an hour or so, but the babysitter ended up staying until 9:30 pm until we finally got home. We were lucky that our babysitter and her mom were able to spend the day and evening with the girls!<br />
<br />
I always enjoy my stay at the hospital after having a baby. I take full advantage of the time to rest, heal, and sleep while there are nurses, food delivery and no one else for me to take care of. Just a sweet newborn to nurse every few hours.<br />
<br />
Thanks to all the help and care from the hospital,our friends, and family! We love our new addition!<br />

He got us tickets to PAX South, a game convention.<br />
<br />
Being large with child, I tried to take it easy while meandering through the halls. Zach found different groups to play games with and I took the girls around to explore the booths, activities, and various photo ops.<br />
<br />
For dinner we went to a Brazilian steakhouse that was located across from the convention center. It was delicious!<br />
<br />
Lucy had I had a great time collecting buttons from all the booths and putting them on her lanyard. She also sweet-talked herself into several photo ops with cos-players.<br />

We had a great time at the convention. The only down side was that we were hoping to meet some local people to invite over for game nights, but unfortunately all the people we met were from out of town! Maybe next year.<br />

<br />
It was love at first sight for both Lucy and Clara when they saw this rubber duck bathrobe. Lucy begged me to take a picture of her with it and Clara wouldn't stop repeating "Duck! Quack!"<br />
<br />
Much to both of their disappointment, the glorious duck bathrobe didn't come home with us that day.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>1. Ukulele:</b><br />
Kay and Greg got me a ukulele for my birthday last November and I have yet to learn even how to tune it. I'd like to at least learn how to tune it and play one song. Anyone local willing to help me with this one?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>2. Read:</b><br />
This favorite hobby of mine is sadly neglected most of the time for two main reasons:<br />
1. Lack of new books that interest me<br />
2. Lack of free time where I can ignore everything else around me<br />
<br />
I am working on compiling a list of books to put on hold at the local library. I'm also working on cultivating Lucy and Clara's ability to play by themselves safely.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br /><b>3. Organize and Downsize Closets:</b><br />
We have great spacious closets in each room of the house, but they are not set up for maximum usage. I'd like to get rid of unused/unwanted items in each and reorganize the remaining stuff. This will most likely include buying a 2-3 drawer filing cabinet, shelving units etc.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>4. Makeup:</b><br />
Being a minimalist, my ideal would be to have only one of everything I use for makeup. One perfect foundation, one perfect blush, etc. I concede that some variety is good for the occasional special outing etc. but I hate having a bunch of unused samples, half used, old makeup that I never wear and never will wear. I also hate wasting things so my solution is to use up as much as I can and give away the rest.<br /><br />I also think it would be fun to have a daughter-mom makeover with Lucy and let her do my makeup.<br /><br />
- Use up makeup and perfume samples<br />
- Use each lipstick I own at least once, then keep, give away, or toss<br />
- Minimize makeup by using up as many half-used things as I can<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>5. Flowers around the house:</b><br />
What is something that truly makes me happy every time I see it? My orchids in the living room and bathroom. I need more flowers!<br /><br />I want to thoughtfully pick out flowers to decorate my home with.<br />
<br />
Some flowers I love to look at:<br />
- White orchids<br />
- Blue Irises<br />
- Peonies<br />
- Blue hydrangea<br />
- Tulips<br />
- Roses<br />
- Daisies<br />
<br />

<b>6. Record history</b><br />
Whether recording my own life or the lives of others, I want to do more of it!<br /><br />
- Update my blog<br />
- Write about people that have made a difference/impact in my life<br />
- Experiment with the new Story Corps recording/interviewing app and hopefully record family stories<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>7. Master a recipe</b><br />
I want to master making an amazing dessert. Soft and gooey rice krispies, moist pumpkin bars with cream cheese icing, cream puffs... Mmm. So many choices.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>8. Dance!</b><br />
I really, really, really love to dance. <br /><br />- More dance parties with Lucy and Clara<br />
- More dancing with my husband<br />
- In an ideal world: a free adult ballet, dance class, or Zumba<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>9. Hang it up:</b><br />
Since moving into our home in 2013 I have yet to hang up a single piece of art work or photograph. Mostly because I have enjoyed the emptiness of having bare walls. It was peaceful. A blank canvas.<br />
<br />
After living in our home for over a year I've thought a lot about where I would hang things. I've finally decided where I'd like to put up a few of my favorite things. It's also made me realize that I have a lot of art/frames that I can get rid of because they aren't things that make me smile when I see them, they were more of space fillers.<br /><br />
Here's the starting list of what to hang:<br />
- Chalk board<br />
- Print and hang bluebonnet pictures and family picture from 2014<br />
- Height measuring chart<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>10. Family Pictures 2015:</b><br />
Have new family pictures taken with Henry included in them. The new addition calls for new family pictures. Who knows if I will have the opportunity to get them taken but I hope I can accomplish this goal!<br />
<br />

<br />
I had an assortment of cheeses already bought and realized that a new years eve party was the perfect time to eat them! Zach does not like cheese, so I have to find opportunities to share my cheesy bounty with other people that enjoy them as much as I do.<br />
<br />
I also tried gooseberries for the first time and brought those, sliced baguettes, and walnuts. Our hosts provided the delicious jams and assorted cheesecakes! Yum!<br />
<br />
Not pictured: white chocolate cereal mix, hot sausage dip, sodas, various flavored sparkling cider/juices, guacamole, and chips. So, so good! It was one of those nights where you are kind of full, but everything is so yummy that you want to keep eating.<br />

We had such a great time making new friends while playing games and chatting. All the kids loved running around upstairs and playing until it was time for bed and we shuffled them all to different corners of the house to sleep while we continued parting it up downstairs until midnight while watching the countdown on TV. </div>
<div>

<div>
It has been so good to make friends and find people to spend time with here in our new home. I only wish we got together more often! If anyone loves cheese and/or games, let me know and we will invite you over!</div>

<br />
Lucy and Clara loved their new books and baby dolls, and I enjoyed the homemade chocolates! Thanks, Mom! There were even presents for the new baby to enjoy for when he made his future debut.<br />
