Isn't it Ironic?








So a few months ago when thinking about when i wanted the baby to be born (like i had a choice at all), I decided that July 11th would be best for us and school and everything. well despite coming on June 15th we got Cora home on July 11th, crazy Eh?? we are so excited to have Cora home and still adjusting to this whole two kid thing. Izaac was having a hard time but is starting to get used to the whole sister thing. he likes to give her hugs. it was so cute the other day Cora had hiccups and Izaac thought that they were so funny so he would stair at her and crack up laughing when ever she hiccuped. we have good and bad moments.


any way... back to the coming home story, they called me Friday about 11am and said that Cora would be discharged today, i was so excited and freaked out. i had to take a test to day and my house wasn't spotless and i was nervous to have her home. any way i had to wait anyway because Justice was in class until 4:00 and his cell phone was dead so i couldn't get ahold of him anyway to tell him so i had to wait. while i waited i had to run a few errands to get Cora's monitors and oxygen tanks from the down town. we have an oxygen monitor for her, she doesn't have to wear it all the time just when i am not in the room or when we are sleeping. it is wonderful for my peace of mind to know that if she starts to go down an alarm goes off and we can help her. we also have oxygen tanks just in case. we haven't really needed them but it is nice to have just in case. Cora is a wonderful baby and sleeps nicely through all of Izaacs screaming and crying, he is teething and isn't in the best of moods, plus he doesn't really understand what is going on so he had had a bit of an adjustment time, poor guy. he is doing good though. any way that is basically all the news, we are trying to get through this last week of school and finals then we plan on enjoying the long awaited brake from school.

Isn't God awesome!! He knew what you were thinking the whole time :) I am so happy for you all. It is so tough going from one to two, you feel 1/2 crazy and 100% tired all the time! But now that you are all better, your total attention can go to those beautiful kids! Congrats Pilgrim Family!
