Demi & Kodi

It's funny seeing these two together.

Kodi definitely loves both of her sisters terribly, but with Demi she is super attached to her. I think a lot of it has to do with the the fact that Dani was away at school for a year and she was used to having Demi at her beckoned call.

Lets just say that if Kodi hurts herself and she has the option of Demi or I, she chooses Demi. I know this should make me feel bad, but I am secure enough in Kodi's love for me that I realize that she just loves her sister that much.

I love watching these two together, two-peas-in-a-pod.

"Thank you Jesus for the flowers..." - Kodi

Kodi has started this thing where she says random stuff that simply amazes me.

In my heart, I've found that it's with the simple words or thoughts of a child that can simply amaze or explain the most complex of things.

Today we were driving on errands and Kodi mumbles in the back seat, "Thank you Jesus I can sit down...". I'm thinking, "huh?" It's sweet she's thanking Jesus for stuff but, "What?" that makes no sense. It suddenly dawned on me...

When I was pregnant with Kodi at 8 weeks, I hurt myself something terribly. I was moving by myself and tried to lift my HUGE t.v. I heard a snap, and a day later I couldn't walk, couldn't move and could only crawl or lay on my stomach. It took me 5 weeks! 5 weeks!!! To be able to sit again, 5 WEEKS! I was in massive pain, with 1 herniated disc, and 1 bulging disc and I couldn't take more than 300 mg of Tylenol every 4-6 hours because I was pregnant. I needed atleast 1000! I was in so much pain, I couldn't barely sit on the potty and it definetly hurt like hell to use the bathroom. (I later found out that the disc I had ruptured was the one that controled bladder and bowel function). There was one point during this time that I literally had to crawl across a public bathroom floor because I couldn't walk, when I had to pee. I couldn't have been more humilitated in my life.

So it was in that moment this morning as I was sitting in my car running errands, I hear those sweet words escape from my daughters mouth and I realize how blessed I am.

Dear Lord, thank you that I can sit. Thank you that I can stand, thank You that I am not in pain. Thank You, thank You, thank You!

Beautiful Life

It has been such a long time since I've updated my blog, I think now is as good a time as any.

Kodi is 2 years old and growing fast. She loves playing outside, and especially loves spending time with her Daddy and sisters. Then we have Tita, Papa Joe, Uncle Aaron, Auntie Emily and all our cousins up here.

She loves to be social!

This has definetatly been the season of change. I more than any other have found that time is seriously going by way too fast. My "baby" is highly vocal, has quite the personality and keeps me busy to say the least.

Dan and I just recently found out we are going to have another baby. I'm due approximately December 14th of this year (2010) and are eager to know the sex of the baby. I am 10 weeks today and will have my first ultra sound around 13 weeks, so luckly Dan will be home. This check is for size and due date verification. And in July we'll find out the sex.
