For me, most of January was spent between Doctor's visits and tests at the hospital with lots of prayers. We had to closely monitor baby's growth and her fluid levels to make sure she was still thriving. It was an emotional roller coaster, as one week things would be looking like she would have to come out within a few days & the next week, she would beat all the odds and be doing wonderfully. Throughout it all, she showed incredible strength and I was so proud of her.
For a fun break, I took Van to a mom-n-me roller-skating session. It was his first time on skates, & about when I got too tired to help him anymore, he really started to get the hang of skating. It was fun to watch him play limbo, toss balls, dance to "single ladies" and race wheelie carts with his friends at the rink.
Tyler & I celebrated our 5th anniversary & even though we don't normally do anything, I wanted to make this one special since we had been going through a tough time with the baby & I figured we could use a fun night. Everything was themed around camping, so I made "tin-dins" for dinner and smores for desert. We drank sparkling cider from our wedding glasses and slept in our sleeping bags on our bed under glow-in-the-dark stars. It was just what we needed- a fun silly night that celebrated our marriage & our favorite outdoor activities!
