As in I have to have once to twice a week fluids and I have a semi permanent iv, called a picc line, in my arm. More about that later though. THIS post is about our epic adventures in mold removal.<br />
<br />
A few weeks ago I found some mold in Will's room. We moved him into
our room and called the landlord. He sent a plumber out and they said
that they couldn't really do anything unless the wall was open so he
could find the leak. So our landlord was just going to come over and
treat the mold himself. Then on Friday we found WAY more mold and called
our landlord again to say we would be willing to do the demo and
recreation of the walls if he paid for the materials. He said sure and
so our epic adventure began. Luckily it only took 2 tries to find the
leak. It was our upstairs neighbor's TOILET....Yeah, gross.
Unfortunately Stephen
was right under the pipe when we found it out and he got dumped with
toilet water, albeit "clean" toilet water. The more we demo the more
mold we find.<br />
<br />

The first of the black mold revealed! </div>

<br />Stephen has been doing most of the work because, frankly, I just don't have any energy. But we are having a great time!<br />
<br />
More pictures to come!<br />

I know, it's been a while, like a LONG while, sorry. Once I got behind the enormity of the catch up has had me paralyzed with fear and so I put it off some more, which made it worse and so it became a viscous cycle of fear and palatalization. It's time, though, for an update.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We're alive, there, updated! No, no, there's more to the story than that.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I guess I'll start with this past week. Will started preschool at the Provo Baby Bulldogs. I have some super cute pictures, maybe I'll be extra special and make another post with those, maybe, stay tuned.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For the the past few weeks my health has gone down hill, way down hill. So far down hill I sleep for more than 15 hours a day and can't stand for longer than 5 minutes without help. I'm shaky and sweaty. I feel like I've been hit by a bus. So, naturally, we've been visiting the doctor a lot too.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The doctor hasn't quite figured out the exact problem but they have found the most likely cause. I have 3 tumors on my thyroid. A little scary, I know. On Wednesday I went in to get an ultrasound and biopsy done. On Friday, we found out they aren't cancerous, Hallelujah! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Next week we are meeting with an endocrinologist to try and figure out what in the world is wrong. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We've been super stressed at our house. Poor Stephen, I feel so bad that he has to deal with all this. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This has been a super depressing update so to end on a happy note, here is a picture of the cutest Mario EVER! </div>

Tonight Will said his first unassisted prayer. This is what he said...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Dear Heavly Fater,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
thank you for the food,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

It is amazing how much growing and changing goes on in just a few months, or even a few weeks!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Will has always been really communicative but lately he's just caught the conversation bug! He just chats and chat and chats! Here are some of my favorite "Will-isms"...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He still is in love with Thomas and randomly exclaims, "bust my buffers, mommy!" or "you have a funny funnel, mommy!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He loves "paintening."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We read many books over and over again every day. One of his favorites is <i>My Little Book About Jesus</i> one day Stephen was reading to Will and he opened to this page and Will said, "hey everybody, I'm Jesus Christ."<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Will LOVES to help me cook, bake, really do anything in the kitchen. Usually, however, he ends up looking like this. </div>

He loves it when Stephen plays trains with him. The first thing Will says when Stephen gets home is, "Sit the bum, Dad! Play trains with Will!" Stephen loves to play trains with Will too.<br />

<br />
He loves letters and numbers and can count up to 20!<br />
<br />
One of his new favorite things is being a "back-pack" on Stephen's back. He gives Stephen his train whistle and makes Stephen blow it as he carries Will around on his back, all the while Will is yelling, "All aboard the dad train!"<br />

This year for Valentine's Day, we were mostly low key. I made breakfast for Stephen and we made dinner together. We also only got each other only one gift that was less then $30. Stephen also got me some beautiful roses.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I made Stephen a heart shaped <i><a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/pannekoeken-recipe/index.html" target="_blank">Pannekoeken</a></i>, it's a German thing. If you haven't made them, DO IT! It will change our life! </div>

So another month has gone by and another period has started. More friends have announced that they are pregnant with their first, second, third, etc. Friends with babies younger then mine. I am so happy for them, you, that are pregnant. I am excited to see pictures, hear pregnancy woes and birth stories. I just wish that was the only emotion that I felt when I hear your exciting news. A small part of me feels so deeply sad for myself that I can hardly breath. Part of me feels like I did something to thoroughly anger Heavenly Father before I came to Earth and this is my punishment. I know myself, I can be pretty annoying and extremely perturbing. I also know that it doesn't work like that. I know the Lord is ever forgiving and that this trial is not a result of anything I've done in the past. It's for my betterment and experience. I know that but sometimes it's hard to believe it. It's hard to believe that I'm not getting pregnant because it's not the right time and so much easier to believe Satan's lie that I am not good enough to have more babies, I'm not a good enough mother, wife, or woman to be trusted with more precious spirits. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is so hard because it is a constant battle, every moment of every day I have to almost physically push away the despair that is in constant threat of engulfing me and taking over. Part of the problem is the crazy hormones I'm taking to help me ovulate and also the hormones I naturally have coursing through my body, those lovely woman hormones that make all women a little bit crazy. Part of it is that fact my heart is not fully healed from the the two miscarriages I had last year. I still hurt and miss those babies every day. I miss what could have been. I'm not sure I will fully stop missing them but I know it'll get easier in time and when less hormones are making me nutty.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Until then I'll just count my blessings, push Satan away and enjoy my little miracle boy. Continue to pray for patience and strength, try to learn for this experience, and enjoy everyone elses' babies. </div>

On our way home from San Diego we stopped at Stephen's sister, Christina's, house. His other sister, Johanna, was visiting from Texas and we couldn't pass up a chance to see either of them! We played lots and lots of Just Dance 4 and can I say that I have tons of blackmail pictures and video :) We also played tons of Dominion.<br />
We only got to stay for a few days before Stephen had to get back to school and work but it was definitely worth it!<br />
<br />
I know this picture is blurry but I LOVE the view of all the boys dancing away! <br />

This past Christmas and New Years was spent with my family in San Diego.<br />
We were planning on leaving on Sunday, December 16th but there was a massive blizzard coming in so we packed like crazy and were able to leave on Saturday afternoon.<br />
San Diego greeted us with beautiful 55 degree weather and we began our gloriously warm vacation.<br />
<br />
One of my family's many Christmas traditions is to make gingerbread houses. Because the family has grown so much we did teams of gingerbread house builders.<br />
Mom, Dad and Anne were a team.<br />

When we got home, the kids went to bed and the adults set to work. Christmas really is so much more fun when you have kids. It was great to get things ready and "play Santa". We had another special delivery on Christmas Eve, one of my parents' dogs, Heidi, had three puppies, two boys and one girl.<br />
Unfortunately the girl passed away the day after Christmas. <br />
<br />
On Christmas morning there were lots and lots of presents to be had.<br />
Will would go up to my dad and say, "share with Will, please Papa." I'm glad he understands the concept of sharing on some level.<br />

It was such a nice Christmas. Pretty low profile but that's my favorite kind. <br />
<br />
For New Year's we began the night with a trip to my parents' jacuzzi. <br />

We rang in the New Year with Martinelli's of course. It was just what we needed. 10 minutes into the New Year everyone was a sleep. We are party animals. Don't you think?<br />

Last night was the annual Hepworth family Christmas party. We weren't sure if I would feel good enough to go this year but luckily I felt pretty good on Sunday so we went. It was great fun.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Every year we have a dinner, sing Christmas songs, have the kids do a nativity, and do a white elephant gift exchange.<br />
<br />
Everyone is getting ready to sing and do the Nativity. <br />

This year Stephen and I came home with a giant blue crayon piggy bank and some helicopter toys from the white elephant. Will LOVES the giant crayon. he calls it his "big colour" (he says color like that). He carries it around like a spear, it's pretty awesome. The helicopter didn't make it past today, Stephen broke it but it was fun while it lasted.<br />
<br />
It was so nice to see a lot of my extended family and have some fun.</div>

Can I just say how glad I am that it is Saturday! Friday is over and I made it out of surgery..SUCCESS! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am actually not feeling too bad. If I don't move my head too much, I can almost forget I had surgery, almost. I definitely feel much better then I did when I had hernia surgery in April.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am now one giant lymph-node down and have an awesome new scar on my neck.</div>

I don't know if you read but in a previous <a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=8880102760819359941#editor/target=post;postID=8225617906336819504" target="_blank">post</a> I mentioned that I am having surgery on Friday. I have never been more nervous about anything in my entire life. I am not sure why though, I've had major surgery before, many times in fact, but for some reason this surgery seems scary.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe it's the threat of cancer. Maybe it's because I've lost some friends lately that makes death seem more real. I'm not sure. I am terrified that I won't be around to help raise Will, to give him kisses and tell him how amazing he is and how he can do anything. I am afraid that others can't love him the way I do. I know that is ridiculous. I know that I have amazing people around me that would take care of Will. I know that I have an amazing husband who would tell Will how crazy his mommy was, how she would spontaneously dance around the house and that she loved to play with dolls. I know that Stephen would raise Will to be the man I know he can be. I just am afraid I'll miss it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know that I need to get rid of this lump in my neck, I know that I'll be fine and that the surgery will go well. Luckily the Lord has promised me that. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am PMS-ing, I have hormones flying EVERYWHERE. I just can't wait for Saturday. </div>

Stephen: I am grateful for siblings. I have learned so much from my brother and sisters. I don't know what I would be without them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sian: I am grateful that there are so many amazing crafts I can do with Will to incite his creativity. I am grateful to have learned the importance of creativity and imagination at a young age so that I could pass it on to my son. I am also grateful that today I had enough energy to do said crafts with Will.</div>

Stephen: I am grateful for the power of prayer. Our Heavenly Father is always turned towards us ad when we turn towards him it brings incredible power.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sian: I am grateful for good doctors. Not all doctors are created equal and
I've had some horrible ones in my time but right now I am surrounded by
the best doctors I've ever had. I am so grateful that they actually care
about me and want me to get better.<br />
<br />
Next Friday I am having surgery on my throat. I have a lymph node that has been swollen for over 2 years. My doctors are 98% positive I do not have cancer, which is really reassuring, but they want to be 100% sure. The stupid thing also hurts so that's enough reason to get rid of it.<br />
<br />
I am pretty scared but I know it has to be done and if by slim chance it is cancer I would rather know now when it's small. I could really use some prayers, or even some warm fuzzy thoughts if you don't pray.</div>

Stephen: I am grateful for music. Music has amazing powers. It can get us excited, it can sooth us, it can bring in the spirit, and nothing can transport you back to old memories better.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sian: I am grateful for brothers. I am glad that I knew what boys were like before I married one. I am grateful for the things they have taught me and the examples they are to my son of what good men should be.</div>

Stephen: I am grateful for teachers. Where would we be without people who are willing to take the time to impart on us all that they have taken the time and effort to learn themselves? Anybody can be a teacher, but the most important teachers are the parents of the world.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sian: I am grateful for my sisters. I am grateful to have friends who I can count on and who love me no matter how crazy I am.</div>

Stephen: I am grateful for light. It fights away the darkness, is accompanied by heat, and brings knowledge and realization to our understanding.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Stephen: I am grateful for children. There is so much we can learn from them, just the way they think about things, what they say and how they react and deal with certain situations. Also, they can always make us laugh.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sian: I am grateful for Christmas music. There is not much that can get me out of a bad mood faster then Christmas music. Plus it's after Thanksgiving, so it's legal now.</div>

Stephen: I am grateful for cereal. I can't eat it as much as I used to; I used to eat it three meals a day when I was really young. You can never go wrong with cold, liquidy, and crunchy. I am very much a texture eater.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Sian: I am grateful for pictures. I am very much a visual person and have a horrible memory. Pictures help me remember.</div>

Stephen: I am grateful for hard days because they really make you appreciate the good days. So, I have to say that I am very grateful for good days as well. This is tied to the previous post where I said I was grateful for opposites.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Stephen: I am grateful for soft things. Beds, cushions, pillows, soft clothes, stuffed toys. Why not make life as comfortable as possible.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sian: I am grateful for tears. Now that may sound sad but crying is such a great emotional release. I wasn't always much of a crier but I used to bottle up my emotions and I would explode, but I've learned that expressing my emotions and even crying is so much better for me. </div>

Stephen: I am grateful for cloudy/stormy days. I just like the atmosphere, the smells, and how it cools everything off.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sian: I am grateful for good friends. I am grateful for friends that when you've been apart for a long time and you come together it's like you've never been apart. I am grateful for friends who have had a profound impact on my life but they may not know it. Thank you.</div>
