February has already been one whopper of a month!

Not sure where January went, and I have been meaning to update for a while, but this past week or so has been pretty amazing (and not really in a good way unfortunately)
so, I will just jump in -- last Wednesday we went to the doc for an ultrasound -- yes we were pregnant again, we found out at that appt that the pregnancy was not viable and scheduled a D&C for Thursday. (Surprisingly, I was ok with it, since there had been issues from the start and I hadn't really let myself get excited. Ok that is apart from the catholic guilt for being ok with it).

Wed night, Mike went for a ride on his motorcycle because it was such a beautiful night and just to clear his head for the next day. A car turned left in front of him and he broadsided the car basically. He is ok -- he says it just proves he really does have a rock for a skull! We spent the majority of the night in the ER -- CT scans, x-rays the works. Fun times were had by all.
then back to the hosp on Thurs for my procedure. All went fine there.

Friday was pretty uneventful until that night when I got a call from my step-dad because Andrea had an allergic reaction to her antibiotics and was now in the ER. I went to make sure all was ok -- they were keeping her overnight for observation, but had gotten the reaction under control which is all that matters really.

Then last night Mike's tooth really started bothering him. more pain than the entire accident ordeal, so we had to find a dentist open at 8PM and off we went to get some teeth pulled.
So, I would say that we have filled our quota for emergencies, but I am not saying that because I am just that superstitious about these things!!

Myka news -- she is wonderful -- and completely mobile. crawling all over the place and pulling herself up on anything and everything she can! she will be walking soon i just know it. She absolutely LOVES being here at the daycare center -- she gets so excited when we get here in the morning it is just too cute!!! We go in for her 9 month appt next Wednesday. I can hardly believe that she is 9 months old already!!! Her newest expression is scrunching up her nose -- of course every time I try to get a picture she stops -- typical baby!! she now has all 8 front teeth and is enjoying finger foods whenever she can! OH, and she is now blowing kisses and waving when she leaves the room -- too cute!!!

There is new video and pics on the camera, and I will do my best to get them posted soon!
Love to all!
erin, mike and myka

Love the update!!! And love the new look for the blog. I'm sorry to hear about all your drama and trauma this week. I'm just glad you all are safe and sound. Tell that rock-headed brother of mine that even rocks can get cracked...he needs a helmet before he gets another bike. We love him too much!!! Myka sounds adorable, as usual....we wanted to make it down with Mom, but it didn't work out. Hope we get to see you soon! Give your fam a big hug and kiss from us! Take care of each other and BE SAFE!!!!
