(7/8/11)
All of Jocko's family, my mom, grandma, and Austyn all came down on Friday! It was sure nice to see everyone! A good change of pace! They were all headed to the water park (Seven Peaks) in Provo on Saturday.. We wish we were able to go with them, but there's no way we could have been gone that long! It would have driven us both crazy! Jocko decided last minute that he wasn't going, but there was no way I was going to a water park only 10 days after having a baby! Ya, not happening! LOL..
That day we spent ALOT of time at the hospital! I'd have to say MOST of the day! Jocko's dad and Cutler showed up first, then Kip, Talia and their kids! I can't believe how big they are all getting! It's crazy! Teage is such a cute little stinker! The things he says crack me up!
A litle later Tiff and the rest of her kids showed up and Wasey even got to go in and see BrynLee.. (Nobody under 18 can go in unless they are a sibling!) Shhhhh, he's close enough to a sibling!
Then a while later my mom, grandma and Austyn showed up! I was sure happy to see my sissy! And I'm pretty sure she was happy to see me too! She came running all the way down the hall and jumped into my arms! It was such a great feeling to hold her again! Oh how I miss my babies!
After everyone left we came back to the RM house for a little nap.. I was exhausted! We ate dinner and slept from 6:30-7:30 (we can't be at the hospital during that hour because of shift change!) and it was so nice! A late nap, but still so nice! I felt like a zombie the rest of the night though! We went and saw BrynLee and kissed her for the kids!
My mom and grandma took Austyn and Aybri both to Jen's with them and Jocko's mom went to stay with his dad at the hotel, so we were all alone that night.. It felt so good, but so empty and quiet at the same time!
That night, exactly at midnight, the fire alarm at the Ronald McDonald house was going off! It took me a minute to figure out what it was, but once I did I decided I better wake Jocko up.. I said, "I think it's the fire alarm, should we get up?" He said we better, so I grabbed my computer and my backpack (my life is in there right now!) Jocko grabbed his wallet and the keys to the car and we headed down the stairs out the door! We stood out there with maybe 3 or 4 other people for probably 10-15 minutes until the alarm finally quit.. Here's the best part! Nobody ever came out to tell us everything was ok.. No fire department, no RM employee, NOBODY! I was and still am in shock about it! Then as we're headed back to our room one lady sticks her head out her door and asks if everything is ok.. I said, "Well, I'm not sure, but I think so!" She says, "Good, cuz I didn't want to wake my kids up!" Ugh, really!?! She sat in her room for 20 minutes with the fire alarm going off and that was her biggest concern?? Waking up her kids!?! Some people!
After we got back to our room, every time the AC would kick on I'd wake up thinking it was the dumb fire alarm again! Needless to say, I didn't sleep very well that night!
