Where's the Fall Break?

So Desoto County has a 2 day Fall Break, we had the weekend and then a Monday/Tuesday off which is fine except we did not get a break! Originally we were trying to go to the beach for a little vacation, but alas money was nowhere to be found. No worries, a staycation we would have and it would be great!...

Until Aylin was diagnosed with Strep Throat and mommy was hit with the migrain train who didn't leave the station for 2 days. On Monday we got up and tried to go to the zoo but left after the 1st half because I could no longer function in the bright light of the sun. I went to bed as soon as we got home and didn't wake up until Wedsnesday morning! I did manage a few pics at the zoo before the SICKATION set in:

Louie, the Boxer

Buster is 4

Our 2nd little blessing, Hilton Isaiah, was born 3 weeks early via an emergency c-section also because of preeclampsia. He was already 8lbs8oz and spent 9 days in the NICU because of a spontaneous pneumothorax (popped right lung); he also had a heart murmur and had to have a blood transfusion his very 1st night. Poor guy suffers from febrile seizures, and also took physical therapy for about a year b/c of delayed gross motor skills. We are so thankful to have this little man blessing our lives.

Puppy is 2

Our 3rd blessing, Weston Julian, was born 5 weeks early via another C-section because of preeclampsia. This pregnancy was a rough one: at 24 weeks I started having severe stomach pains and at 28 weeks had an emergency umbilical hernia surgery, and have been on bed rest ever since because of preeclampsia. At 32 weeks I started having daily headaches and frequent migraines (at least 2 a week). At 33 weeks our ultrasound technician discovered my amniotic fluid was decreasing and he was not showing much growth, so now we started twice a week visits and at least 1 ultrasound each week to keep a closer eye on him. We are incredibly thankful that our last little blessing arrived safely and weighed 5lbs 13oz and did not have to go to the NICU.
