Where to begin.....I didn't find out that I was pregnant until I was 10 1/2 weeks along. I was told a few years ago that I could not have anymore babies. My daughter is 11 and I was truly alright with just having her. Of course I felt I was blessed to be able to atleast have her! I met my soulmate when I met Patrick and I have felt so blessed and extremely overwhelmed by how much I am in love with him! And now we are expecting a baby.....never saw it coming..lol... But we are tickled and Hayley is ready to bust she is so excited to be a big sister and to be having a baby brother....Yep....IT'S A BOY...LOGAN JAX! That is what our new little guy will be named. Patrick has a son who will be 4 in Feb. and he is so excited too. He wanted a baby sister and he is just getting used to the idea of having a baby brother. lol..He is so cute about all of it though! We read him books on being a big brother and he grins at all the pictures....It is toooooo cute! He looks just like his daddy anyways, and I can't get enough of either one of them! I am blessed that Patrick and I each have a child and now we will have one together....Makes us one big happy family at this point!!! We are truly blessed...

This weeks has been long! I have 2 rods and 4 screws in my spine, so the weather is getting to me, not to mention my little Logan who will not set still.lol. I have to have a c-section around 38 weeks because labor would not be good for my titanium rods! I'm sure as he gets bigger and I get bigger my back will ache more and more...I love my big tub and try to soak as often as possible! Patrick usually runs my bath every night in hopes of helping me sleep better. I am truly blessed to have a man like him in my life! Hope all of you are doing well and resting as much as a mom can rest...lol

I wanted to share with all of you also that my daughter who is 11 was born with a congenital heart defect 'Tetralogy of Fallot'. She was diagnosed at 11 days old and had to have emergency heart surgery! Very overwhelming experience. She will live with this defect for life, and she is doing wonderful... I have read some pages where people are finding out that they may have babies with some health issues and I just wanted to put this out there in case any of you needed to talk or vent... it isn't easy, but I assure you....you can do it! I've already had a fetal echo at Children's to check on Logan's heart and he is in great shape! His echo turned out perfect and we couldn't be happier or feel more blessed. Please don't hesitate to ask me any questions, any advice I could offer would be my pleasure. Best wishes to all of you!

Hope this update finds all of you well. I feel so blessed to have found this site. I love having others to talk to and I love being there for people to depend on me and ask my opinion on things. I haven't slept well the past few days, so I am exhausted and I do NOT do well sleeping during the day..ugh! So, I thought I would do an update and read a little and perhaps fall asleep...got my fingers crossed..lol. Logan has been restless for over a week, I swear he doesn't ever sleep. I think he might end up being a wild child..lol. Making me worry about my decision to breastfeed..No, just kidding! Hayley was so cute this morning getting ready for school. She always tells Logan bye when she is heading out to the bus! Melts this moms heart! She is such a great kid and I am so blessed to have her.. I thank god for that child everyday! We have Gavin tonight and he will be a little love, he is a snuggler and I love every hug and kiss I get! He likes to roll his cars over my belly and talk to Logan..It is tooooo cute when he does it! The kids in my life make me sappy! Gavin and my god children call me Mimi and it is so sweet. I know that some people are having troubles either in their pragnancies or TTC. I want all of you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers and I am sending all my strength and support to you! Try to remember that that 'God only puts on your shoulders what he knows you can handle'...Have a great day and remember to relax and put your feet up! I know...RIGHT, what mom gets to do that! LOL.. The never ending job... MOTHERHOOD!

I've been so congested with this pregnancy and now I am getting a cold. My throat hurts SOOOOOO bad! But my little guy is doing great...Kicking away! LOL. He is so active and it tickles me to feel him. He now wakes up early in the morning to the sound of his daddy's voice! When Patrick is leaving for work and he loves on me before he leaves, Logan is up the second he hears his daddy!!! Logan has NO idea what a great daddy he has waiting for him. He is a lucky, lucky boy! Hayley and I are very lucky girls. We are going to be surrounded by great guys for the rest of our lives! Hope everyone is feeling well and doing wonderful. Have a great Thanksgiving...we all have alot to give thanks for this year!

Friday, 23 Nov

I hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving! We had a good one. The holidays are tough for me because I lost my mom 7 yrs. ago and she was the one who always made the holidays wonderful. It was bitter sweet not having her here and also being so thankful for our little Logan. I know that my mom is looking down and smiling at the thought of her first ever grandson, she would have been nuts over him! I feel like Logan never quits moving! He is on the go at all times and all hours??? I wonder if anyone else is going through this? Sometimes it hurts so bad, feels like he is trying to crawl around. I thought that he was suppost to be getting big and not being able to move as much?? Yeah, right! lol..I go to the dr. the beginning of Dec. so I'm curious to see how he is laying now? He has always been transverse, so I wonder if he is laying differently now? I hope he gets in a new position because that position has him laying right on my rods and screws..OUCH..lol..I swear there are times that he is so far up that he feels like he is going to kick me in my boobs? He is a wild little man that's for sure! I hope that everyone else is going well and that the holiday was good to you all....Take care and take it easy!!!

I can't believe that I've entered my 3rd trimester! :-) Technically I have 90 days...BUT, I'm having a scheduled c-section and they usually do those at 38 weeks. So, if thats the case, then I have around 76 days until I will be holding Logan! I can't wait to kiss his little cheeks! I wonder alot if he will look like my daughter at all? I think he will look ALOT like his daddy! I know this last little bit is going to fly by because of the holidays. I hope that I will be prepared when he gets here?? ;-) I aksed my aunt to not have my baby shower until the middle of January, that way I could get through x-mas and get things put away before I have another load of gifts..lol. My step-mom is ordering my car seat/stroller combo from Babies r Us because she is afraid that they won't have them after the holidays? I'm excited about that because it is exactly what we have been looking for. It is a Eddie Bauer combo, but it is so soft! It has the extra padding in it...we've looked at alot of them and this is the one that Patrick loves and it isn't really heavy. We put the tree up this weekend and it looks so good. Out topper is a big snowman head and it is hilarious! The kids wanted to string popcorn for it, so I sat for about 2 hrs. on friday night and sewed popcorn..lol. But, it looks really cute and they were tickled! Besides Logan kicking me all the time, I am doing really well and I truly can't complain? I soak in the bath a couple times a day for relief in my back and it seems to chill him out as well. I lay on the heating pad on bad days and just try to relax. I go back to the dr. tomorrow so I think thats when I will start going every 2 weeks from now on? I'm Rh-, so I know that I need to have my Rhogam shot next week..OUCH! Other than the basic pregnancy complaints, I'm great. I'm hoping that I get scheduled for an u/s soon. I've only had 1 to find out how far along I was. I was 10 1/2 weeks. And I had the fetal echo done at Children's, but that wasn't for fun, it was a very serious u/s..I want one to look at him and make sure he is growing well and things. So, I'm going to keep my fingers crossed!!! Hope everyone else is doing well and getting ready for the holidays.. Take care....

Had my 1 hour glucose test today...it really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I thought that I would be drinking orange fluid, but mine was fruit punch. YUCK! It gave me crazy heartburn!!! But, I feel pretty confident that it will be fine. I'm getting ready to go back to the lab and pick up my rhogam shot and take it to the OB floor and get a shot in my butt...GRRRRR..lol. Oh well, it will all be over soon! And it is all worth it once Logan is in my arms!!! Can't wait for that moment. Other than that I am doing great and can't really complain. My back is doing good, I was in the bath tub at 1:12 a.m. and then on the heating pad from then on while I was in bed...Comes with the territory, I guess! Hope everyone is doing well and that everybody is getting ready for a great holiday with their families!!! I guess we all have alot to be thankful for this year!!! Baby Dust to all....

Gosh, the last few days have been trying on me! WOW...my back decided to ache 24/7. OUCH! I wasn't sure that it was ever going to let up. I am VERY sore today, but I also feel like relief is around the corner. THANK YOU! lol. We've just been getting ready for x-mas! I can't believe that next year we will have 3 kids waiting for Santa?!? Never thought this is how my life would be. I just assumed it would be me and Hayley. I am so blessed that Patrick, Gavin, and now this little guy I'm carrying (Logan) have become part of my world! I love them so much, words cannot describe the love that I have for them all. I have been kinda depressed over my back hurting SOOOOO bad and Patrick is my rock! He just talks me through it? I don't know how he does it??? He can hold me or massage me, run me a hot bath and my world just relaxes? I can honestly say that when it comes to me...he has the magic touch! lol. He has the same touch when it comes to Hayley too. The two of them played guitar hero in her bedroom last night and all I could hear was her laughing, and her laugh makes me melt. I love the way they are together and how loved Patrick makes her feel. You would NEVER know that she wasn't his biologically. NEVER! If you ask him, she is his! I just know that my mom sent him to us girls! He was heaven sent! How lucky am I?? He is such a great daddy, and Gavin is his buddy. They play cars and just have a great time together and that makes me so tickled. I think about seeing him and Gavin playing and Logan laying beside them watching...I can't wait. Hayley will be an incredible big sister, she just wants to have Logan in her room with her..lol.I think thats so sweet! Well, hopefully Patrick and I will get everything wrapped this weekend. We are kid free friday night, so we are going to try our hardest to get everything wrapped and hid for x-mas eve! Keep your fingers crossed for us..lol. Hope everyone is doing well and everyone is taking it easy. Happy Holidays!

I haven `t updated this page forever! I get on here to check on everyone and then I either run outta time or get to tired to post any updates. I truly can `t complain. Although there are some days that I do anyways. lol. I am getting really tired and it is starting to take its toll on my back. I started pre-term labor a few weeks ago, so the contractions can be aggravating at times. But I am lucky because Logan moves really well and I never have to worry about him in that way. I see my dr.s every Thursday and I must admit that I get tired of going to the dr. every week, but I do enjoy hearing his heartbeat. lol. It is the greatest sound! Everyone around me is getting so excited for Logan to get here. His big sister is ready to bust she is so anxious for Logan. She asks me everyday if today is the day and I keep telling her that I don `t have any idea. I `ve tried to explain to her that when he is ready to come he will or that they will schedule my c-section and we will know when he is coming. I go to the dr. on Feb. 7th and if I haven `t had him by then, they will schedule my c-section! Yeah, I can `t wait... Well, that `s my update. Hopefully the next time I have one it will be my birthing story??? A girl can only hope. lol. Hope all of you are doing wonderful and hanging in there in these final weeks. We are over the hill and ready to roll at this point....yeeeehaaaaw.. You are all in my thoughts as we continue this miraculous journey!

WOW... I `ve been a slacker when it comes to updating my page! I always read the main pages and check on everyone and by the time I `m done, I gotta do other things by then. lol. Well, I am going to have Logan in 5 days! His b-day will be February 20th! My c-section is scheduled. I have to be there at 8am and it is scheduled for 11am. I had my daughter natural so I `m a little nervous. She was born at 11:50am, so I think it would be kinda neat to have them at the same time? Probably not going to happen. lol. I `m also having my tubes tied while I `m already opened up. They say it is really simple to do when you have section? Takes alot of stress off of me!I just can `t believe that Logan will be here so soon! I can `t complain because this pregnancy has flown by? And I `ve read where alot of other mommies feel the same way. I think its great and it seems like its made it even more exciting!My bf is busting at the seams to hold his new son. He told me last night that he can `t wait to kick back in the recliner and have Logan all snuggled beside his neck. Almost made me cry thinking about it. My daughter just wants him to be here. She wants to have him lay in bed with her...can `t wait to take pics of that. And Gavin, our 4 yr. old just wants to teach him everything! To hear him say it, it melts your heart! I think Logan has some serious love waiting on him. Patrick will post pics as soon as we are settled. Take care of yourselves! I wish everyone smooth sailing! Can `t wait to get on here and check and see who all has delivered after I recover from my section! God bless you all...Tons of labor dust to ALL of you!!!
