So much has happened in the last 3 years. I forgot about the blog for awhile and then I was unable to login but now that I am back in I guess it is time to catch up.

Abbygail ish now 4 and a half. She is a little trouble maker, even more so when her buddy Kingston is around. Abbygail has been doing gymnastics for over a year and appears to thoroughly enjoy it. She has bee attending the Child Development Center, same as Janice for the past 3 years.

Last year Popo started having medical and bowel problems. After getting a colostomy bag last spring, she ended up with a bowel obstruction. They attempted to clear it by normal means but eventually realized the need for surgery. During the attempted surgery Popo aspirated and went into cardiac arrest and fell into a coma... after 3 days the family decided to pull the plug. Popo died November first 2017.

Not completely a surprise as after Kevin's Grand-dad past, my period at the end of August needed encouraging to come but came.  Which made me conclude that I needed to reboot my hormones needed to be reset, I took off my patch. Thru September I had a urinary tract infection and my next cycle only lasted 3 days and then following Popo's death I asked Dr. Stephanyuk for something to help me deal with the loss, it was then I realized I was late. A pregnancy test confirmed that I was indeed with child.

The pregnancy was emotionally stressful and took alot of strength to get thru. Christmas was held at Goong Goong's with the knowledge that it would be the last. There were some issues at work due to my appearance at work but the management was understanding. 

Goong Goong's health started to slide. His memory and mobility faltering which came to a head in March when he had a minor stroke. He subsequently spent 4 months in hospital before a bed came open at the Hamlet's. Goong Goong has since been moved a final move to Pine Grove.

I made it to March before being pulled off work. June arrived and my insulin needs plummeted which precipitated a trip to the hospital. Tuesday they found everything was fine but advised baby would be coming sooner than later. Wednesday Dr.Adam's office called to have me go to the hospital Thursday morning by 2pm Madeline Gloria Yoshie Story was born via emergency c-section. 
I will be talking more about these events in subsequent blogs in more depth.
