The Los Angeles Museum of Natural History

Image
One of the movies my kids love is Night at the Museum so they really had fun going to the museum and seeing the dinosaur bones. We went in the hall of the African mammals we saw a whale's skeleton. We went in the kids museum where they can dig for fossils and be more hands on with some of the bones. But the reason we went was to see the dinosaur encounter. They have this giant puppet like dinosaur that looks and moves like a real dinosaur it seems totally realistic. We went with the Andrew family, well Amanda, Tanner and Ava. She has a minivan so we all could fit in her car. She told me she was a pretty timid driver so I offered to drive her car and she was totally cool with it. I would way rather drive especially through LA. They also had the butterfly emporium. Which was awesome because you could see each stage, there were catterpillars, crysallis' and butterflies everywhere. The kids loved it, we had a great day!! I think this was my first real outing with my skin problem w...

First Time Holding Corbin

Image
I went back down to Briana's a few days after she had Corbin and I went with her to one of her feedings in the middle of the night. So I finally got to hold him. He was in the NICU for ten days beacause they needed to administer an antibiotic, I'm not sure why he was in there. At this point he was off of the oxygen and everything except they still had monitors on his abdomen. He is so dang cute!!! Mommy and baby

Jacque's Baby Shower

Image
I went to Jacque's baby shower for little Luke with Granny Annie. It was great the food was yummy we got to visit with the Bence's at our table. We left before she opened all her presents which is the funnest part. But I had no sleep the night before because little Corbin was born. Jacque's dad Paul took out his grandson out on the four wheeler and Lincoln was sitting on the grass watching and wishing. He asked me if he could have a turn and I didn't want to be a bother so I said no maybe next time when we come out with Uncle Chase. He was pretty upset so Jacque's sister Jennifer went and asked her dad and Lincoln was in heaven!!

Introducing Corbin James Bergener

I hope Briana doesn't hate me for putting this on here. But this picture shows the extreme amount of pain she is in and the love that Brett has for his wife. I had the opportunity to be in delivery room when Corbin was born. A first for me other than my own children. It was inspiring for me to watch her struggle and deal with the labor pains. She is a crazy, stubborn psycho woman that doesn't get any drugs. But obviously it can be done and it was awesome to watch!!! Baby Corbin wasn't doing to good when he came out. He had meconium so he was not crying right away and they had to suction him for quite awhile. They then took him to the NICU for observation. And a happy face. It's unbelievable how you can be in such excrutiating pain and then poof it's gone.

My inward and definitely outward battle!!

Rich was out of work so his family in Utah told him to come up and they had some stuff that he could do. So we used our flyer miles and he flew up on the 16th. On Friday the 18th of June I had my last day of preschool and our program for the parents to come watch. The kids sang some songs and performed the three little pigs. Needless to say that week I was a little stressed. I woke up Friday morning with a sore throat, but continued on with the day as planned. That night my sore throat had worsened. Since Rich was gone I had decided to go stay at my moms, especially since now I wasn't feeling good. So Friday night I didn't sleep much. All day Saturday I had body aches and my throat kept getting worse. I hate going to the doctor and I hate taking any type of medicine so I continued to put it off. Saturday night I didn't sleep so Sunday morning I looked in my throat and I had never seen anything like it so I went straight over to the Doctor's office on Lyon's Ave. The...
