In San Diego!

So, Uncle John and I have brought the kids to San Diego for my grandmothers 78th birthday tommorow. We went to the beach this morning and had a blast. I've posted, or should say in the process of posting the pictures to my picasa site now. It's been a tiring day, and I'm going to head to bed. We've had loads of fun though! 6 am comes so early.... here's to hoping the kids sleep in! (yeah right,,..)

Love to all!

P.S. Yes I miss my hubby hehehhee

Pictures are up

I have given up on getting the birthday pictures edited and such before posting them. Both parties are now posted. i'll be rearranging them a little in the next few days so that they are sequential. Please visit my website to the right saying Picasa Pics 1 and they will be listed there. Just as a warning, there are aprox 180 for Sky and Emma, and 200 for Serena. Not all are best of quality, but if there are some you see that you would like a digital copy of, please feel free to tell which row, and how many over and I'll be happy to send to you!

Love to all,

The Tuesday of another week

Hello all friends and family,

We had a pretty good weekend with Emma this week. We got to do some pretty fun things. Saturday was jam packed. We had my friend Emily's daughter Kayla's first birthday party in the morning, came home, took a nap. After they all woke up, Chris got to hang out with Emma for a little while, while I took the younger three to Malinda's house for Nick's birthday party (he's my psuedo nephew). Fed them dinner there and hung out and let the kids play. Got them home, bathed and in bed. Then went to Kareoke for Lisa's birthday at 9. Got home later than I like to admit, but it was fun! Got a video of Audrey singing, but the music was up way louder than her singing so can't hear her very well. My vertigo seems to have been getting better, until I smacked the car door into the left side of my jaw. Let me tell you that sucked! Oh and last night, as Sky is telling everyone, mommy fell butt first into a full bathtub. I was sitting on the edge of the tub, putting the bubbles in, Sky asked for a hug all nice and sweet, so I turned the other way (while still sitting on said tub) to give her a hug, and apparently I turned to quickly. I lost my balance, yes while sitting down, and fell in butt first. Hey, at least I was sitting! Audrey came running when she heard the bang and they the ow come from me. When she ran in she stopped, and busted up laughing after she asked if i was ok. I can't be mad at her because it was pretty darn funny! Chris (the rat) took a picture of it, he says he'll send it to me so I can keep the copy of it.

Sean is doing better in school with keeping his hands to himself. He has to sit at a table by himself for the moment, that way he stops trying to play and actually do his work. He doesn't seem to be having any learning difficulties or anything like that, he's just more interested in playing than working. He'll concentrate when he wants to, and does do it, which is the good news. I took Sky and Serena to the Zoo yesterday with my girlfriend Jen and two of her boys, Joey and Tommy. I posted the pictures on my picasa website if anyone is interested in seeing them. There are quite a few cute pictures in there.

I have updated my blog here (as you may have noticed), and gotten access back to my previous blog (from Sky as a newborn), and the link is to the right. It's full of pictures of Sean, and the top is mostly from when sky was about a month old and younger. If you want to see them, feel free!

Our love to all, I'm going to go dive into the pictures I got in the mail today!

Explination of terms

So it has come to my attention that quite a few people don't know what vertigo is so here is a text book explination:

Benign positional vertigo (BPV)-or simply vertigo-is a disorder of the inner ear. You feel a sudden sensation of movement or spinning when you move your head or hold it in a certain position.
The inner ear is located within your skull and consists of the cochlea, a chamber shaped like a snail shell, where sound is transformed to nerve signals for the brain, and 3 semi-circular canals that function like a gyroscope, relaying information about head position and movement to the brain.
The semicircular canals contain fluid and special sensors that, when disturbed, inform the brain of a change in head position. It is thought that when you have BPV small particles become dislodged within the inner ear and then bounce around when your head moves, triggering faulty signals that your head is still moving even after it stops. This sensation of movement or imbalance when you are not moving is called vertigo, the primary symptom of benign positional vertigo.

So in laymans terms it means it feels like I'm sitting on the deck of a ship when i'm sitting, laying down, or walking around. It's been interesting. I get to take a pill to try to stabalize it, but will take time for it to heal. Fun Fun!! LOL. Well I'm out.Tiffany
So um yeah... so I thought the dizzyness of this weekend was from the pain meds, apparently not. I apparently have benign positional vertigo. That was my gift from the surgery. Better than merca or something like that though! So I feel like I'm on a rocking boat... put me on medicine to help it, but if it doesn't go away, i get to go to physical therapy. Gotta love it.

Oh and from my last post of Serena climbing on the couch, gess what she did??!! She climbed on it yesterday, stood up, bounced off the back off it and walked, yes walked, right off the couch and then realized what gravity is as she landed flat on her back (not sure how that happened but it did!). She's having to learn the hard way to stop walking off of things. She was just fine, just scared the crap out of herself. *shakes head* My kids seem to have to learn the hard way, remind you of anyone?? LOL Well staring at the computer screen is not helping me much, but I do have new pictures posted at my website for picasa. I also have some posted for the pics we did as a family at Reid park the address is as follows(this one has over 200): http://picasaweb.google.com/tiffanyfennimore/ReidPark#

There is one that has about 55 in it and that is as follows: http://picasaweb.google.com/tiffanyfennimore/ParkIMOrdering#

Check em out, they're pretty cool!

Love, peace, and chicken grease all, I'm going to bed.

Post Operation update

Hey all,

Sorry that I havn't updated since the Surgery, but been a little out of it hehehehe. Drugs were my friend. I'm still on some pain killers, but it's better than it was even yesterday. Hopefully won't need any more by tomorrow morning so I can take care of chillins. But I digress. So I spoke with my OBGYN Dr. today (the one that did the surgery), and he explained to me what is going on. All I can say is thank god that I started my period two days before the surgery or they wouldn't have found this. So I don't have endometriosis, nor are things fused together. The reason I am having the pain is as follows (if your squemish you might not want to read it): I am bleeding heavy enough now that it is backing up in my uterus, and rather than exiting through the cervix and vagina like it is supposed to, it is causing it to go also out my fillopean tubes and the blood is collecting in the rectouterine pouch (it's the sac, or free space, between the rectum and the uterus that is formed by a folding of the peritoneum). That is what is causing me the major pain and discomfort during my menstrual cycle. He's putting me on yaz to try and decrease my amount of flow, and to regulate it off of the 5 week cycle it's been on. We're thinking that has something to do with how heavy my period has been since it has never been as heavy as it is now.
Gotta love it, each of my children has given me a gift from their birth.... Serena's gets to be this.... shesh. But not going to go into that. I'm just happy that today I am doing a lot better than I was yesterday. Unfortunantly Chris was unable to return to work today to take care of me and the kids, well mostly the kids. Tomorrow I should be up to going back to my daily activies, alibit slowly. So here's to hoping right! Well gotta go catch the baby again, she's climbing the couch again *sigh*. Yeah babies!

My Love to all and ttyas

Survived another first birthday

So, Serena is 1... we had her first birthday party today. Thank god it was not as nuts as last months party. I don't think I would've been able to handle that! So Serena had fun, she slept in for her nap, and she had a really good party. Didn't melt down or anything. I think thats the first time I've seen a one year old's birthday party without a melt down! Here is a pic to show you how much fun she had. Hopefully I get to upload the rest tomorrow.

Included in this post will be embeded us singing happy birthday to her, and her starting into her cake. it is a 3 minute long video, but worth it, it's cute!!

I'm tired, and heading to bed now after waiting for everything to upload and such. Hope you enjoy it!



Taking tastes of the cake....














What it looked like after she got ahold of it!
Ok... if you're reading this and there is no video, you've caught me before I've uploaded it. Ment to Saturday night, but it's a quarter to 11 and it's only about 1/3 of the way uploaded to you tube, and I'm way tired and need to go to bed. I'll get it up in the am!
Here is the video now!
