April Events
I don't know quite how to put this other than, "April was the CRAZIEST month ever in the Hirschi family." Where do I begin. Okay, at the beginning. On Friday, March 28th I flew to Los Angeles for a work conference. It was for the Association of Operating Room Nurses. I was so excited to go. It went from the 29th of March, thru April 3rd. One full week of OR nurse educational offerings. What could be better? Val would be meeting me on the evening of the 3rd. On the 4th, we were to board the Monarch Of The Seas Royal Caribbean Cruise Ship to celebrate Val's 50th birthday. It was a much needed "Get Away" for me. Work and pleasure. My only worry was Brittany. Her due date was April 22nd. I told her she ABSOLUTELY could not have that baby until I got home. Anytime after the 7th of April would be fine. She agreed, or so she said. On Tuesday, April 1st at 5:30PM, I walked into my hotel room and the phone was ringing. I guess I had let my cell phone die. It was Val, informing me he had something to tell me and that it was no "April Fools" joke. I was instantly panicked. I thought something had happened to Landon or Brylee. Oh no.....it was about Brittany. She was in labor and would probably be delivering within the hour.......What the *$!#@. It was pretty much devastating to me at that moment! Of course I started crying........I heard afterward that Val had every girl in our household crying and that I could never leave him again. I was crying because I wanted to be there and felt like I had totally let Britt down, Brianne was crying because she was diagnosed with strep throat earlier that day and had been planning on being in the delivery room (the mean nurse wouldn't let her in), Lexie was crying because she was stuck in Provo, Brylee was crying because her birthday was the Monday we were coming home and Brittany was going to take care of her on her birthday and now she wouldn't be able to, Brittany (and I) cried after she had her baby because we were both so happy. What a fun time for Val. Thank goodness for Landon. He stayed strong for Val! So that's how our month started! On the 7th, both Val and Brylee celebrated their birthday's. We got home late that night and were able to celebrate Brylee's birthday. On April 11th Josh graduated from BYUI with a bachelors degree in Biology. On Saturday the 12th I let Brylee have a friend birthday party. I broke down and let her invite 2 boys. It ended up being a lot of fun. The next Saturday, the 19th, we celebrated Lexie and Teegan's birthday. Lexie is no longer a teenager. THANK GOODNESS....:) And Teegan is2!! Just a few more days until May and I am counting down!
