I haven't had a chance to mention that Samara was in the Hospital 2 weeks ago. She had a high fever so my doctors office told me to take her to the ER. I rushed out of the house with her at 1am and left my phone. After lots of test to make sure it wasn't anything too serious, and an IV in her head they transferred us downtown by ambulance and admitted us. It was 5am at this point and I could not get ahold of Ethan!!! He was dead asleep and I didn't know anyone else's number. I felt so lost without my cell phone. I think I am going to memorize some other people's phone numbers. Anyway it turned out that Samara was fine.........she did have a high heart rate for a couple of days and a fever.......but nothing too serious. Being stuck in a hospital for 2 days was very humbling........I can't imagine having to deal with a truly sick child or even family member. I was so stressed dealing with the ER docs and all the test the wanted to do on my sweet baby............I can't imagine dealing with those things on a daily basis. I had a much better experience with the hospital this time..............but I was much more vocal about what I expected too. Anyway I am so glad we were not stuck in the hospital too long and that we were all well enough to finalize her adoption later that week.

I am so sorry to hear that your baby was in the hospital. I can't imagine a more vulnerable time than that. I am so glad she is doing better. I love Samara's hair:)!
Em... I hate seeing little babies/kids going through hospital stuff. You need to memorize my number or look it up in the phone book, cuz I would be there in a heart beat to wake up Ethan, support you, or be an advocate for Samara with the doc and nurses! So glad it all worked out. Hug and kiss that cutie for me.

You've had alot going on girl! Congrats on the temple sealing, and hallelujah for the sealer who finally stepped in and realized all symbolism was lost on poor Silas and everyone would survive if he wore his shoes.
You've just had a major transition in your life... I say cut yourself a little slack and slowly work on yourself. The motivation will come back when you get more sleep, have more moments in the day to exercise and spend on yourself, and you watch your kids grow and you want to model good behavior.
It's sooo hard though! Lots of love!
