Traffic Accident

So I have been thinking a lot about life and how fragile it is this past weekend. On Saturday I was on my way to my brother-in-laws to drop something off and as I was at the intersection of Lone Mountain / Scottsdale Rd. I witnessed a horrible accident right in front of me! This is the first time I have ever seen an accident first hand. Let me tell you it scared the bageebee's out of me!! My first thought was, is this real?! It looked like something out of a movie, but after 2 seconds I backed up my car (because I was in the left turn lane and wanted to somewhat block the road so no one else would come up on us) I then jumped out of my car and ran up to one of the drivers. I won't go into all the details but it was very very bad!!! This guy had a very bad cut on his head and his legs were crush. I felt soooo bad inside because I wanted to help take this guys pain away (and believe me he had a lot of it) my heart was just hurting so bad for him. I tried to do what I could for him and asked his name and just stood there talking to him until help arrived. As luck would have it Wayne's station was first on scene (However Wayne was not working that day). They ended up airvacing the guy out to the hospital. The other driver amazed me as he was up walking around (I think he was in total shock) they ended up taking him away in the ambulance. I have had a very hard time because I can't seem to get the images and screaming out of my mind. I don't know how Wayne handles all the things that he sees on a daily basis!?!

But all of this to say, life is so short! I want to ask all of you to please please please be careful when you are driving, take that extra time to stop at the light or look both ways before you go on a green light!!! If I would have pulled out like I had the right to (because both of these men ran the red light) they would have both hit me instead of eachother.
I love you all and I just want you to all be safe!!

.......Shake N Bake........

These might be difficult to understand but we wanted to share them anyway, they kinda look like little aliens right now. LOL Baby B (aka: Bake) was being very difficult today and did not want to be photographed much. Baby A (aka: Shake) was really liking the photos and we were able to see a lot more of him or her. Everything is looking good with me and the babies! We go back for another ultrasound in 3-4 weeks. :) Baby B (aka: Bake) squishing its head and trying to hide. Baby A (aka: Shake) waving to us

Quick trip

Image
So the dogs and I made a quick trip up to Durango this past weekend to just get out of the heat and hang out at the house. Although I ended up working on the house with my mom and John it was still a very nice weekend. On Friday (after about 4 hours sleep) mom and I delivered an area rug for a client and had lunch & wandered around town with Mickie, it was a very nice day! On Saturday we ended up power washing the whole deck and going to dinner and having margarita's in Bayfield. Sunday morning we got up and after realizing that the rain might just stay away for a little while mom and I re-stained/sealed the deck While we were doing all of this John was laying stone on the three pillars in the front of the house, they turned out awesome! We then went into town and had some ice cream and watched all the bikers. It was hard to come home on Monday, the weather was soooo nice and cool, however Wayne was patiently awaiting for my return and had steaks on! Yummmm!!! Here are a...

Ultrasound Photo Updates

Image
Ok, I turned the photos sideways so that it kinda looks like they are sitting up. (Seems to be the only way my mom can tell so I thought it might help others as well) We are just shy of 24 weeks.... Only about 12 weeks left to go WooHoo!! Wow some days it just feels like it is flying by!!! Guess I better get crackin on the room! We went for a check up today and I was telling the doc that I thought baby B was just kickin up a storm, but she informed me that it could actually be either one because both of their feet are right next to each other. Baby B is definitely the one cutting off my air supply though... sitting right under my breast bone it feels like!! Baby A is sitting farther down so my bladder gets hit with that one. LOL The first photo is Baby A (Shake) I thought it was a nice profile, we had another one of a wave (always seems to be doing that!) but it was a little blurry. Second photo is Baby B (Bake) sucking a thumb!
