  1. The first thing I thought of (after “Oh! Those poor souls!”) was that this is what my holidays have looked like for the past 10 years or so. So I read with relative calm (that is how I usually feel right before I pass out or start screaming) and had an extra wave of gratitude for our unusually calm season. And I just want to throw out the digital fist bump for the demonstration of mommy superpowers… you are living through it AND blogging about it. Don’t forget to offer it up. These times are like intercessory prayer opportunities on steroids. Praying for your family. Happy New Year!

  2. Carolyn, I’m so sorry to hear all this! Praise the Lord you survived it all and are all well now. Can’t believe how you spent Christmas morning. And my goodness, what a week the kids had?!!! I can relate a little…Christmas and the New Year did not happen how I expected either. My mom went to the hospital on Christmas Eve and was there for 3 days. A couple days after Christmas, Sofia got a fever, followed by Ezra (his lasted a week!!!). Of course it’s not important, but none of us really got to wear all our cute outfits I bought ;) We’re going out on Friday to celebrate the New Year. So blessed and so thankful to God for His mercy and gifts. Many blessings to you all in 2015!

  3. Glad you survived all that! I am not great at handling bloody situations either! Here’s hoping the rest of 2015 is much less eventful in the medical emergency department!

  4. Aww poor svel family! :( That seriously sounds like something that would happen to me with my medical track record. Well let’s hope that’s the worst thing to happen this year. I think i would have passed out of i saw the tooth thing. *shivers* I’m with you on traumatizing tooth matters. I hope everyone gets to feeling better soon! (And me too I’ve also got the sickness, just in time for my move) happy new year to you, my friend. :)

  5. Aww, man, Carolyn…that is rough! Hang in there, at least you know 2015 can only go up for you guys! And your Christmas card is gorgeous!

  6. oh my gosh…lol. You had holidays like us. minus the teeth. We didn’t have the blood. just sickness and puking and…yeah.

    Also, if you’ve got some lemon essential oil, you can rub that on your chest/throat area where it burns during heartburn. Saved my life during pregnancy :-) You can also try sniffing peppermint. But I found the lemon to work better.

  7. My sweet neice, God love ya!! Hang in there, things will get better!! You’re doing a wonderful job with your boyos! Hope the pillows are helping with the heartburn. I’ve been praying for you and will continue to do so! Love you all so very much!!

  8. Gosh, I cannot even imagine! My soon to be two year old busted his upper lip frenulum?..Blood everywhere while he was playing like it was the happiest of days. Bleh. But that plus preggo plus sick you plus sick kiddos…so sorry! Prayers for the start of the new year and for you and sweet baby! Also, that christmas card! Perfect, fun, and lovely!

  9. First of all, Lexington in the card…I love it! Second, be very careful with the Pierre (spelling eludes me) water. I love it, but when I’m having heartburn issues, it makes things so much worse!

  10. I would rather do cold calling for State Farm on Christmas Eve than deal with blood and loose teeth. *shiver* Good job getting past that. :)
