My mood while writing this blog: saying goodbye

(this was originally on my profile page, but as so much is happening, im just going to transfer that stuff to blogs after a while....)

10/2008

Hello all. I am a happy mother of 3, with a new surprise on the way. Its been nearly 6 years since my last surprise, so I feel a little out of practice. My husband and I are nervous about having a new little one around the house, but I'm sure well figure it out.

Our kids are 5 (Rylee), 7 (Kayliana) and 9 (Dawson). They are super excited about the thought of a new baby in the house. I'm sure they are going to be tons of help with everything and it will make life tons easier with them being as old as they are. But sometimes it worries me that there will be 6 years between this baby and my youngest child. This one is due June 9th. I have not been to the Dr. yet, but do plan on doing that very soon. 15 more days and my husbands insurance takes effect at his new job.

With my last baby I had placenta previa early on in the pregnancy. He was born 6 weeks early and was flown to an all childrens hospital because his lungs collapsed. He was 9 days old before I got to hold him. He is now a happy, healthy, smart 5 year old.

My daughter was an easy normal pregnancy. Morning sickness for the 1st and 2nd trimesters. 36 week pregnancy, 6 lbs. 10 oz. little screamer! She is now a beautiful-too intelligent for her own good-7 year old.

My oldest son was a scare as well. I was dialated to 3.5 cm at 20 weeks. They put me in a hospital bed with my feet elevated about 2 feet above my head. I was to stay in that position until I was atleast 32 weeks. I stayed there miserable as could be and delivered what sounded like a miniature fire engine at 35 weeks. Now he is a 5'2" 9 year old.

My husband and I have been together for 10 years now. We bought our first home 4 years ago and have been fixing it every day since! Your typical 9-5'ers, who every now and again like to play irresponsible grown up... You know how it goes. lol!

Theres a good 10 pages more to our family story. The good and the bad, but I'll save those for blogs when I cant think of anything to talk about. :) I am going to go be mommy and put the kids to bed. Talk to you all again soon.
