Fun with Katie's baby doll

Happy Birthday Mom

We miss you!

EEEEWWWW!!!!!!

To see the Tales of the Puking Child post go to Katie's Blog "It's all about ME!!!!!!"

Thank you for the music

Dan Fogelberg 1951-2007

I will admit I'm not up to speed with the new music of today. I guess I'm getting old and I don't want to hear someone screaming at me, how to get back at someone who cheats, or how some guy should be with me and not their girlfriend. So I listen to an oldies station. It's also one of the few things that "The Spud" and I can agree on when we are in the car (besides "The Lion Sleeps Tonight").

There are few songs that I can say where the lyrics made me stop and say "Whoa. That was cool!"

Dan Fogelberg did that with "Same auld lang syne" A true story about him running into his ex-girlfriend at a store Christmas Eve. They play the song a lot on New Years Eve.

Even with my ADD and Pregger brain I still remember where I was when I first heard that song. It was November 1981 and I was reading "the splinter of the minds eye" (one of the first Star Wars books) and this song came on. I was living in Liverpool, New York. The song stuck with me all these years.

In 2004 he announced that he was diagnosed with advanced prostrate cancer.

Monday morning at 7:00 our alarm went off and Jodi Dean was playing one of Dan's songs. I knew that something happened. I turned on Good Morning America and the ticker at the bottom said it all. Dan Fogelberg died Sunday morning at the age of 56.

On the way home from taking Katie to Mom's Day out Monday morning Jodi signed off saying "Thank you Dan" playing "Same Auld Lang Syne" I blasted it in my car and cried. Yeah I'm old...and I really don't care.

Thank you for the music Dan you will be missed.

I just love all the green and the big baby cheeks in this picture!

Katie went to see Santa lastweek......

and as you can see from the picture she cried. Out of the 8-10 pictures they took this one was the ONLY on where she wasn't crying. Because she was gathering all of her energy (and breath) to go for another round of SCREAMING, CRYING, and giving Mommy the look of 'how could you do this to ME?????

Katie here is styling in a very festive set of reindeer antlers. They didn't stay on her head very long though. Guess we're lucky we caught this picture when we did.

It is going to be a blast watching her open presents this year!

Bridget and I ran across this Vader candy thingie while looking for Christmas gifts at Target. Doesn't it look like he has a runny nose? Anyway we spent all that time at Target and left with only a set of sippy cups for Katie.

I was just looking at the calendar, and we really need to get the Christmas shopping done. Santa's big day is right around the corner and there is still so much to do. Not that we can buy much being the poor parents that we are... but then limitations breed creativity.

It'll be a great Christmas, you just wait and see!

Visit from the Family

While they were around, Bridget took them over to the picture place. Katie and her cousin James got some snapshots together. Aren't they cute.

Dancing with the Stars

Okay tonight is the finals for Dancing with the stars.

Do not be surpised if Marie Osmond wins.

Not because of her dancing skills (Which she did very well last week and I think she should have gotten a 10 from Bruno) but because of her fanbase.

Now before all the Marie fans start getting mad a me let me add I AM A FAN OF MARIE'S! I have been a fan since the Donny and Marie Show. I think I also still have a Marie doll from 1978 somewhere. I was actually excited that she was going to be on the show. BUT....

I really don't think that she will win. If she does it will because of the FANS VOTES which is FINE BY ME.

Who do I think will win? Either Mel B or Helio. It's too close to call.

This show is about the votes. If you vote fine if you don't then you have NO RIGHT TO COMPLAIN IF YOUR FAVORATE LOSES!

I will not be voting because I will be at a class and watching the show at about 10 tonight.

You will not see me complaining tomorrow after the results show because I have no right to complain.

Good luck to all three.

(Oh and Emmitt Smith is still the best out of everyone)

One Year Ago Yesterday

One year ago yesterday at 5:00PM I became a full time Mom.

The year has gone fast with Gymboree, swim class, swinging, crawling, walking, talking and Mom's day out. Next spring she will be going to preschool over at the church one day a week on Friday's and then in the fall she will be going every Wednesday and Friday.

But next year we all have a new challenge....Because Adam and I are going to be parents again and Katie will be a big sister. The baby is due Sunday June 15, 2008.

We have known for a couple of weeks but didn't tell anyone except for some people. Tuesday Adam and I went for the first sono. I should have known that everything was going to be okay when I heard "You have to hide your love away" and "When I'm sixty-four" (our song) both by the Beatles within minutes of each other. (a sign from my Mom). We went and saw our 8 week 2 day bean with the heartbeat pumping away.



We have a new baby site that we'll post on our list of things to go to. I couldn't go back to Postcards from the Pregnancy.

 

Help me R2-KT you're my only hope!!!

Look Mom I have HAIR!!!!

Afterward Katie ran wild around the house. Luckily for Bridget and I, Grandma was there to tend the inevitable poopy diaper. All the fun had to come to an end before 8, so my wife could get home in time to watch Grey's Anatomy.

I've got shoes!

Katie has discovered the joy of shoes. You put them on her feet and away she goes. Funny enough, "shoe" is one of the words she can actually say.

With Halloween around the corner expect some pictures of our little monster in a costume or two. Hopefully we'll find the time to go get some professional pictures done over at Portrait Innovations. We haven't done that since her birthday.

Books for Katie

Now the last thing I need at the house is more books for me. I've already decided to read books from the library whenever possible to avoid putting more on the shelves at home.

My daughter on the other hand could use some more. These board books will do nicely, and at a cost of 30 cents for all three... she can destroy them for all I care. She's already had plenty of fun with them. I can't get over how fascinated she is with turning pages.

Katie is also a Niece

We will never forget......

I tried to find something that didn't repeat what happened on this day six years ago. I found this.

Yes, I am a smart alec!

We had storms today. I was at the computer when I heard thunder and the lights went out. After finding a flashlight (and noting to myself that we needed better ones) I called TXU and got an ACTUAL person to talk to (probably living in Florida for all we know).

She asked the usual questions. Then she asked the following:

TXU: Did you hear anything before the lights went out?

Me: Thunder.

I know I know I am a smart alec! I also know that she is in control of the paperwork for my reporting the lights being out and could suddenly LOSE the paperwork and we could never get out electricity back on again but I just couldn't help it.

New Star Wars Figure

R2-KT is now avalible online at www.hasbro.com and www.starwars.com! I got three of them yesterday (one for Katie, one for us, one to be taken out of the package and be in Halloween picutres). Hasbro and Lucasfilm are donating $100,000.00 to Make a Wish foundation in honor of Katie Johnson.

For more information about R2-KT go to www.R2KT.com

Picture of the Day

I have a silly child can't you tell.

Music teachers dream....or worst nightmare.....

Katie was at Gymboree last Wednesday and she decided to let everyone know that she knows the Gymbo song and what to do....



On Sunday Katie took 10 steps by herself (with Dad behind her). We didn't get it on film but we will next time.

Last week (as reported on It's all about Me!!!!) Katie said "BYE BYE DA-DA!!!" before Adam went to work.

She loves pancakes. Her favorate food is still Blueberry Buckle.

For the first time it hasn't rained in about 3 days!!!!

Saw the new Harry Potter movie. Very good.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Happy 61th Birthday to my Dad

Happy 65th Birthday to Harrison Ford




"If you're asking me to acknowledge that I've gotten older, I can do that.”-- Harrison Ford

Miss You.....

It's been eight years since my Mom died. It doesn't seem that long ago. She would want us to celebrate her life. So today Adam, Katie and I are going to Fort Worth to see the Star Wars exhibit. There isn't a day that I don't think of her. The past month or so I really thought about her and talked to her a lot. I've always said that it is up to Mom (and God) on what goes on with my life. I've always believed that Mom had more say than God and would know that what ever happened that I would be able to get through it.

Mom's favorite group was The Beatles and favorite Beatle was Paul McCartney.
When I hear this song I will always remember seeing Paul McCartney at Texas Stadium and her saying "Oh he is SO CUTE!!!"


I think Mom saw Neil Diamond 4 or five times (I saw him twice with her). I just remember the first time she got to see them Dad left early in the morning to get in line tickets for her.


The Muppet Show....This was a favorite of hers.


I think this was years later when they tried to do another Muppet show like show. I know she would have loved this...



She was the one who got us into Star Wars. She was also the one who became really good friends at the people over at Toys R Us. She would go over and was the only one allowed to go back and go through all the boxes (before they we out on the shelves) and get the figures that my brother needed before everyone else. Yoda was her favorite...


One Saturday morning I was watching the Bugs Bunny Road Runner show and "What's Opera Doc?" came on. Mom laughed so hard at this.


Another favorite musician was John Denver. She got to see him in concert two weeks before he died.



About a week ago I found footage on Youtube from John Denver and the Muppets a Christmas together. I found one of Mom's favorite songs that I was planning on having here in the tribute. I sang the song at her funeral service. Sadly when I went to get it for this yesterday the video had been removed....

It's in everyone of us
to be wise
find your heart
open up both your eyes
we can't all know everything
without ever asking why
it's in every one of us
by and by.

We miss you Mom.

Love always,

Bridget, Bill, Adam, Ana, Jamie and Katie Ellen

Live Free or Die Hard

Went to see Live Free or Die Hard on Friday night. I've always liked the Die Hard movies. I wanted to see a movie that doesn't require a brain. This is the one to see. That is NOT an insult to the movie. I loved it and I want to see it again.

It took a couple of minutes to forget that the kid that he is trying to protect is the guy from the "I'm a mac" commercials. Kevin Smith is hysterical being the warlock and getting mad at his friend for taking a cop to his "Command Center"...The Command Center is his Mom's basement.

Go see this movie NOW!!!!

Woo Hoo!!

Okay almost everyone who knows me knows that I LOVE Harrison Ford. Adam sent me this picture and I started to "giggle like a school girl"




It's the first time since 1989 that he had that outfit on! The New Indiana Jones film will be out May 22, 2008. I know that I said after seeing Revenge of the Sith that I would NEVER do another midnight showing again...I might have to this time.

Holy Crap!

Okay this is going in the "strange things that happened to us today because it is US"

I had three of these things stuck on me. One on each shoulder. Tonight while I was talking to Adam I went to scratch the left side of my back. I said "what the--" and PULLED this off of me. This was on me ALL DAY and probably would have been on me all night if I didn't find it. We thought it was pretty funny.

Home

Just wanted to let you all know that I am home...We'll at the in laws (since they are in Hawaii and our house is a disaster). Today was almost a continuation of the circus that we have had the past couple of days. We were told to go to admissions and they are CLOSED on Saturday. So we had to go through the ER to register. I bit my tongue when someone at the ER desk said "A D&C is NOT surgery" from saying something rude, uncalled for and something that they would feel REALLY REALLY BAD. Then found out that the orders said only D&C and didn't explain why. So Adam had to tell the nurse (who was getting my history and I couldn't respond) on why I was having one. She felt SO bad about that. I told Adam to tell the Dr about that not being on the order.

Drugs are great. They put the shot in the IV and told me that it would take a couple of seconds. 3 seconds later (and he only put HALF in) I was saying "um...they are working" Adam told me goodbye as they were putting the rest in. I remember closing my eyes to blink and don't even remember seeing him leave I was out.

When I woke up they asked me what I wanted anything "Coke" is what I groaned...(Yes I have a caffeine addiction). They released me about 1:30 and I am awake and kind of alert (almost normal...well as normal as I can get). I have to see the Dr in two weeks.

Thanks again for all of your thoughts, prayers and vibes.

Phone Call

About four hours ago I got a phone call from the Dr. I was surprised that she called me from her cell phone but I was also happy that she took the time to do it. She told me how sorry she was about the communication between her staff and I. She told me that she was expecting to see me tomorrow at 7 and thought everything was set up. She was shocked to hear that I didn't know until almost the end of the day. "This person will be written up for this and if she does this again she will be fired" That is something that I think is very rare for a Dr to tell a patient but I could tell that she was very frustrated.

This is a drastic change from yesterday where I was wondering if I should use this Dr for the next time I get pregnant. I felt like I was being pushed aside and I had never been treated like that before from her. Family members thought it was very strange for me to be treated this way by the Dr. Adam was right and said you never know if she is even getting the messages or if she even knows what is going on.

As I keep on telling everyone Communication is the KEY and don't assume I know what is going on. My force abilities for mind reading isn't that strong!

WE ARE ON FOR TOMORROW

Okay tomorrow at 7am Adam and I have to be at the hospital. Since this is probably going to take most of the day (pre-op, operation, recovery) someone will probably post something tomorrow night. OUR CELL PHONES WILL BE OFF! PLEASE DO NOT CALL AND CHECK ON US. We love you all but we want to get this done and make sure everything is okay before we start contacting people.

Katie will be staying tonight with Grandma and Grandpa. Tomorrow at about 8AM Nana Teresa will be going over to their house to watch Katie. It will be easier to have her there so we won't have to rush around tomorrow morning.

We'll be okay. I keep telling myself that we will be okay. Thank you so much for all of your prayers, thoughts and vibes.

Love,
B, Adam, Katie Ellen and the puds

Questions Part 2

This is what we know now....

I'm expecting a phone call tomorrow from the Drs office or the hospital about surgery on Saturday. They have to get permission to have this done and the person there was not at the office. So sometime tomorrow we will know when it is (hopefully) going to be. Teresa will be watching Katie.

There were some bumps in the road today. It wasn't pretty and I was pretty upset. When a nurse asks "what seems to be the problem" I have a problem with that. Adam was about to call them and see what he could do.

So until tomorrow.

Questions

To answer everyones questions:

No I haven't gotten a call yet.

Yes I called the Dr at 2:45 and left a message for someone to call me. I stressed the fact that I was tired of waiting and I needed to know so I could have someone watch my child.

Since it is 4:30 I really do not think that this will happen tomorrow. Unless there was a total mix up which I doubt.

We are hanging in there. My break down was this morning (see "it's not fair" post on Postcards from the Pregnancy). Adam lasted an hour at work and couldn't take everyone coming in and saying "I'm so sorry"

We went to Gymboree and Katie played with Izzy. They also sang Happy Birthday to her.

Katie got her gift from Grandpa Keenan that will be used to get her new car seat after we have dinner with Nana Teresa.

I got flowers from my Dad and Bonnie. They are very nice.

Once again thanks for the thoughts, prayers and vibes for the next couple of days.

Good Day Dallas

Make sure to watch Good Day Dallas on Channel 4 tomorrow morning. They do birthdays and hopefully you'll see Katie's picture on there!

Sono (Not good news)

There isn't a good way to tell everyone this so here it goes.

Went to the OB for my appointment and a sono. Adam came with me for the appointment. The sono showed the baby but there wasn't a heartbeat. I knew something was wrong when I was asked "do not breathe" then I was asked "have you had any spotting?" she checked several times (and asked me several times not to breathe). She told me that she couldn't find a heartbeat. The whole time I'm praying to Mom (because she has more pull than God) to have everything be okay. Then the tech said "I'm sorry"

My Dr was out on call so I saw another Dr from the group. I was told my options. I will be going in for a D&C either Thursday or Friday. Tomorrow is Katie's first birthday I was NOT going to have that done on her birthday.

I knew that something was wrong sometime last week when I woke up and didn't feel like a truck ran over me or sick to my stomach until 1:00. I told myself that I was overreacting and not to be this paranoid. I wasn't this paranoid when I was with Katie and she was fine.

I'm hanging in there but I know that I'll have a breakdown soon. I've called family members and told them. Most of them said the same thing. Better it to happen now then later. I'm just thankful that Adam was there with me when I found out. So I'll leave it up to my Mom (because again...she has more pull than God) and we'll go down this road that she wants us to do.

Please keep us in your prayers for the next couple of days.

Look a pink smurf!!!

We had a fun time in California. This is a picture of R2-KT. This little droid is very special to our family. R2-KT was made for Katie Johnson (our daughters namesake) when she was sick. Her sister Allie had the idea while watching Attack of the clones and R2-D2 watching over Padme.

It was announced by Hasbro (the ones that do the Star Wars figures) that in July there will be an R2-KT figure out. Hasbro and Lucasfilm have agreed to donate $100,000 to Make a Wish Foundation in honor of Katie Johnson. For more informaton go to www.R2KT.com

We will be getting (several) R2-KT's and expect to see one in Katie's Halloween Picture in October.

We are Here!

We got here yesterday. The trip was interesting and I'm glad that our connecting flight in Denver was the next gate over. Helped when we got in late and didn't have to run to the gate.

Today we went into town and had lunch. After that we went back to Kay's and took a nap. I'm glad that we had a day to just rest.

Tomorrow we are going to Celebration IV. Should be an interesting day. It was on the news that there was a bomb threat. Looked like there was a bag or something that was left out and so they called the police. It was nothing.

So look for the two crazy geeks (one with a Yoda back pack on her back) from Texas.

We will be getting home late Sunday night. Pictures will be downloaded on Monday morning.

Getting ready for the trip....

Well in about 48 hours we will be in California (hopefully) not getting lost trying to find where Kay is.

Went to Wal-Mart to get supplies for us (3oz or less) and stuff for Katie for when we are gone.

Also getting songs together for a slide/video show that I plan on working on.

Adam will be going to Best Buy tonight to get a 2 gb card for the camera. More pictures and (embarrissing) videos for him to take!

Have to go a rescue the teddybear that Katie is about to toss out of her pack and play.

Wedding Cakes

Well still after almost two years our wedding is still being talked about. Here is a picture of our wedding cake on geeksugar.com

We are Virginia Tech

I watched the memorial service today and saw Nikki Giovanni read this. I think that today we are all Virginia Tech.



“We are Virginia Tech.

We are sad today and we will be sad for quite awhile. WE are not moving on, we are embracing our mourning.

We are Virginia Tech.

We are strong enough to know when to cry and sad enough to know we must laugh again.

We are Virginia Tech.

We do not understand this tragedy. We know we did not deserve it but neither does a child in Africa dying of AIDS, but neither do the invisible children walking the night to avoid being captured by a rogue army. Neither does the baby elephant watching his community be devastated for ivory; neither does the Appalachian infant killed in the middle of the night in his crib in the home his father built with his own hands being run over by a boulder because the land was destabilized. No one deserves a tragedy.

We are Virginia Tech.

The Hokier Nation embraces our own with open heart and hands to those who offer their hearts and minds. We are strong and brave and innocent and unafraid. We are better than we think, not quite what we want to be. We are alive to the imagination and the possibility we will continue to invent the future through our blood and tears, through all this sadness.

We are the Hokies.

We will prevail, we will prevail.

We are Virginia Tech. "

GIRL POWER

Two days ago in Frisco a woman was approached at her car and told to give her keys to him. She told him no. He then took a gun and shot it in the air. They fought, she got the gun from him and shot him in the stomach. He got the gun back from her and ran.

In May 2003 I was at a Target. I parked (stupidly) on the side of the store. I (stupidly) was out after 9:00pm. I also (stupidly) did not LISTEN TO THE BAD VIBE that I got when exiting to get to this Target. I went there for cat food. I could have gotten it at the Albertsons across the street but I didn't. (I'll have another post about my "Bad Vibes" later)

As I was walking out (dressed still from work) I heard someone running behind me. I was carring an 18 pound bag of cat food at the time so I tried to move over. The next thing I know my purse is in front of me and a man is trying to get it from me. I struggled with him (still hanging on to the cat food). I saw a red car slowly come by. I was thinking 'Maybe they will help' WRONG! It was the get away car!!! I heard someone tell him to go in the back window. He took one last tug and I fell to the ground landing on my right hip HARD.

As I was watching my purse wave goodbye and him running to the car all I could hear is my Mom's voice "GET UP NOW!!! GET THE PLATE NUMBER!!!! IF YOU DON'T GET ALL OF THEM IT'S OKAY JUST GET UP NOW!!!!!" screaming in my head. I got up and ran to read the plate number. I also said some choice words to them as they drove off.

I repeated the number that I had. Got the cat food, put my shoes back on (wearing heels) and looked like a crazy woman repeating the number over and over again. When I got to the desk all I said was "My name is Bridget Keenan, my purse was just stolen from me, the plate number is...." and repeated it again until the poor kid at the service desk told me that they had the number and he called 911.

July 14, 2003 I got a call from the person in charge of my case. He asked me to come to the police station after work. When I got there he told me that he was about to give up on the case and tell me that it was a dead end. But that morning he put out an APB about it around the area. Within 30 minutes Colleyville Police called him and told him that they know who it is and they had them in custody because they did this to a woman two weeks before it happened to me. I was ONE LETTER OFF for the plate number. When he told me this I just sat there, smiled and bit my tongue from saying 'Do you really think that my Mom and best friends Mom watching over me in Heaven would allow you to give up on those idiots hurt her kid???'


So when I heard about this woman yesterday who fought back I said "GOOD FOR HER!!!"

California Here We Come!!!

Adam and I are going to California to visit Kay, go to the beach, see the sights and go to Star Wars Celebration 4!!!! We will be leaving May 24 and coming back May 27. Katie will be staying with Grandma and Grandpa Eakins

Look What I Can Do!!!

So Adam was taking care of Katie when I was taking a nap. I heard him say "Where is the camera..." When I got up he showed me a video of this picture. We would have it on Youtube but the file was too large. Oh well. At least we were able to get a picture of it.
