I am an open book

For anyone who reads this and is friends with me on Facebook, this will be a repeat.

I am an open book. That is how I process information and deal with many of my life's situations. I sometimes wish I could keep things to myself and just accept and move on. But I am who I am and right now changing this is not high on my priority list.

Today we found out our sweet baby Olivia growing inside me has a birth defect. She most likely has agenesis of the corpus callosum ( I will have an MRI on Wed. for a definitive diagnosis.) This is a neurological defect which affects how her brain will talk from the left to the right. There are many different grades and it will be a while before we know exactly the severity.

My mind is swimming and so many tears have been shed. I just wanted to write this down for myself the day we found out. So that I will remember where I am and can eventually look back and see how the hand of the Lord will lead us from here. I know that God has a plan for us. I know that he created us and there is purpose in all that happens. I also know that how ever Olivia comes out and whatever it is we have to overcome in this life, she will be perfect in the next. Christ paid the ultimate price so that we may be resurrected and be made perfect.

I want to thank everyone for your thoughts and prayers and appreciate all that you do.

I would be a terrible fortune teller

I thought this baby was a boy, but it looks like SHE will be a girl.

My Little Monkeys

Here is a little poem I wrote about my kids:

One little monkey swinging in a tree teasing mom and dad you need another one of me. Along came Miss Kate not so quiet as can be.

Two little monkeys swinging in a tree teasing mom and dad you need another one of me. Along came Mr. CJ not so quiet as can be.

Three little monkeys swinging in a tree teasing mom and dad you need another one of me. Along came Miss Grace not so quiet as can be.

Four little monkeys swinging in a tree teasing mom and dad you need another one of me. Along comes baby #5 I am so sick as can be.

This is kind of old news for anyone that is on Facebook. But I thought I would share this on here since this can be archived.

Gracie Lou Who

Grace is such a sweet little baby.  I say little because she has not gotten chunky like my other 3.  She is moving and grooving though.  Just this week she started doing an army crawling thing.  She rolls and scoots.

And when she isn’t scooting across the floor you can find her here:'

I am only barely surviving 4 children because I have this sleepy wrap.  It has been my miracle.

My Guy

This is a snapshot of my days:

 

 

Are you seeing the same pattern I see.  I love this little monster, but he is like a whirlwind, and messes up before I can clean up.

Baby Grace on her blessing day

We blessed Grace over labor day weekend.  Thanks for everyone who came, it was a great day.
