Recent Happenings and Favorite Photos Recap #2: Everything Else Since Vacation

Aylin's 1st Soccer Game

I was so excited for this fall because Aylin was going to start playing soccer! "Playing soccer" is a bit of an understatement, LOL, until recently she pretty much would just run away from the ball and huddle of 4/5yr olds. She is slowly coming around to the idea of trying to get in there, be aggressive, and actually attempt to kick a soccer ball. FYI, by slowly, I really mean like a snail crawling to a pile of salt. Love my girl, although I'm not entirely sure she is mine when it comes to sports ;) We are about halfway through the season, but here are some pics from her first game.

Sickness :(

Everyone but Hilton had a stomach bug within a week, fortunately it only lasted about 12 hours so we were able to get right back out there and enjoy the beautiful fall weather we have been having. Hilton has taken a few steps here and there, but he is still not walking. He does, however, LOVE to climb.

School

Aylin has been LOVING school (both her PDO and HS preschool), wanting to do work all the time. I am running out of things to do with her. Of course, I have a bunch of stuff pinned on Pinterest but haven't had the time to make any of it.

Pumpkin Patch

We headed back to Cedar Hill Farms with my family last weekend. It poured on us, but we still had a good time :)

Babies

My sister finally went public with their announcement of baby #3 on the way!

And we were excitedly awaiting to be able to tell everyone that we were also pregnant with baby #3, but I miscarried early on. I was only 5 weeks. We are doing okay and will start trying again in a few months. We hadn't even told anyone that we were pregnant, but a few good friends helped us through the miscarriage. It was a hard week, but some time alone really does do you good, even if it is just an hour or two. I had told Bobby by this picture collage:

Zoo Trip

Our CHAOS group (elementary youth) went to the zoo for fall break this past Monday. We really enjoy spending time with our church family and are really looking forward to our family camping trip this weekend!

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.
