fossil rim wildlife center

well, thankfully brian got this week off, and it has been so great!! he and i started out the week by spending the night in the anatole hotel with a free coupon! then we came back and audrey got some food poisoning from bad chocolate milk that i accidentally left in the fridge. so tuesday was out for doing anything, but then wednesday, we headed to glen rose to visit the fossil rim wildlife center. the kids really loved it. they loved not having to sit in the seatbelts, feeding the animals, and just had fun. at first they were a little scared to feed them, but they warmed up really quickly. the only thing was, the ride is supposed to take 2-3 hours, and it took over 4, because of the spring break crowd. everyone did fine, though, and kenzie finally konked out.

a few fun videos...

well, audrey had a piano recital on friday night- it was her first time to play a song hands together. we were very proud of her!

and then on another note, (no pun intended) here is a a video of her singing. i'm not sure where she learned the vibrata, but one day in the car she was singing like this, and i decided to get it on video. what do you think, american idol, 2020?

fainting feels weird!

so, my last 2 pregnancies i get really dizzy if i get up too fast. the other morning, brian was shaving in the bathroom, and i was laying in bed not wanting to get up. the urge to use the restroom came on strong (which happens quite frequently these days) so i hopped up and walked into the bathroom. by the time i got in there, however, my vision was already gone, and my body was shaking uncontrollably. brian thought i was doing a crazy dance to make him laugh, until my head hit the wall pretty hard, and the rest of my body began to crumble. thankfully he was in there, because he realized something was wrong, and caught me underneath my arms until i started to come to. it really is the weirdest feeling- i don't know if i am the only one, but my sight goes black, and i shake, and can't control anything. when i was pregnant with makenzie, it also happened, but i was alone with the kids, and i hit my head on a corner in the bathroom and ended up having to get a couple of stitches (my first ones ever, besides the csections!). anyways, i am sure to get up slowly now- i don't want to faint again!
