Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Walter
My nudest-DIVA
Cutie!
We went over to visit Gram Anthony. She is not feeling well and told us she is ready to go home to Jesus. Aaliyah over heard her and on the way home asked me how she could meet Jesus. She wanted to know if she could go with Gram and see him!

Cool baby!!!
Ciara is doing well weighing in at 16 lbs 3 oz. Unforuntely she has been this weight for over a month and a half. We were in to the doctor's office on May 28 to talk about her allergies. Sharon was a little concerned with her weight so she put her on a protein shake daily. I give her either a boost or a pedisure. She enjoys the boost, but she is not crazy about the pedisure! She is a fantasic eater, but she is a busy little girl!! I think she plays it off as soon as she gets it in. Hopefully she will start to gain a little soon. Her allergies have been bothering her and Sharon switched her medicine from Zyrtec to Singulair. So far it does not seem to be working. If this doesn't work then we may have to get her tested to see what medicine is best for her. Other than being tiny and having allergies she is doing really well. She is almost walking and starting to say quite a few words! She says "tank woo" (thank you) all the time. Even when she gives me something she says it! She is so precious. Ciara continues to have therapy every week and has an evaluation coming up in June.
Aaliyah is doing very well and is so bright. The things she says to me and Corey amaze me. She is doing well on the potty, but still wears a diaper at bedtime. Honestly, this is my fault. She likes to have a glass of milk right before bed and I always let her have one. So naturally she is going to have to go potty before morning. She is getting excited about preschool and asks me a lot of it is time to go yet. She is a good helper and loves to make her sister smile. But they are sisters so Aaliyah is always pushing Ciara away and telling her no. I told her that I hear her say no to Ciara more than I say it myself! Corey set up a blow-up pool for her and as soon as she gets up in the morning she is asking to go swimming.
Corey is doing great and is finishing up the remodeling in the living room. It is almost finished! We have to trim around the windows and it will be done. He has done such a beautiful job. He also put in a new door and screen door. I love the new screen door! Our old one didn't close and made this annoying sound when you would open it. So after we get the trim finished he will be taking down the panneling in the door way and replace it with new drywall. He is still working a lot of long hours.
I am doing well with my Pampered Chef business. I enjoy it so much!!!! It is my time to get out of the house and have a conversation with a grown up! And I just happen to make some money while I am doing it. My bladder has been ok and I had an appointment at Magee on Thursday. Dr. Sagan is about 90% sure I have Intersitial Cystitis. I have been taking Elmiron since March so we will decide in September which road we sould take next. There is no actual test to diagnose IC. You pretty much just rule out everything else and then decide that is what you have. So far I have all of the symptoms, but there are other diseases that have these symptoms too.
About three weeks ago I noticed a spot on my right breast that looked like a bug bite. I showed it to Corey and we decided that it was either a bug bite or a billed hair. Last week I just happened to look in the mirror while getting in the shower and noticed that the spot was spreading. A couple of days later it started to itch. So I made an appointment with my doctor and saw her on Friday. Well the morning of I noticed some discharge from my nipple and my breast was tender. She ordered a mammogram and ultrasound, but the hospital did not have an opening until June 9th. Unless they have a cancellation before then-I just have to wait. Lindy gave me a prescription for Keflex in case it is an infection. I am terrified and I just want to get this testing done to make sure everything is ok. I will keep you updated.
We continue to praise God everyday for our wonderful family and friends. We know that everything that happens is his will and he will see us through anything. I have been doing a lot of praying lately and I know he is listening. God bless.
