Children

My poor sweetie First it was the severe jaundice that put her twice under the billi lights and brought her back into the hospital at 5 days old, then a head cold, the a double ear infection, then the bought of meningitis complete with another 3 day hospital stay, another ear infection and now another sinus thing I feel so bad...seems like she has litterally been sick for 3 months now I know it is because of the kids being in school and hanging all over her, plus this weather...its 40, ...

I just can't ever get motivated to blog...it only takes a second, I just always feel like it is going to take forever for some reason?? It's almost a chore, instead of something fun, until I do it, and then it feels good....go figure...

Took the kids Easter egg hunting today...total dissapointment. It started at 3pm, we got there at 3:01 and started to walk around the back of the building to the outside, when we were stopped by a woman telling us they were finishing up the first ...

has not gone away....I guess there goes chalking it up to some pregnancy related thing. Now, I just have to get over my fears that something could be wrong and just go to the doctor, see if something is, and start trying to deal with it. I'm so afraid of cancer, and even though I have no history in my family, I am young, I am helathy and I don't do any of the things that would cause cancer, it is one of my biggie fears. Now it is really present. I can't even make myself make the appt. My problem ...

It's 4:30 am...I've had 1 huor of sleep tonight...sooooo tired.....She just won't sleep, she is o unhappy tonight I hate to see her so miserable and at the same time I'm feeling quite selfish in that all I want is just an hour or two of sleep. I don't really need alot of sleep...I've always been good on about 4 or 5 hours of sleep, but this one and two hoursa night is catching up with me and I'm feeling a bit crispy. I went out with everyone for the first time by muself today. Not much different ...

Nothing in particular, just rough...I'm tired, the kids were *rowdy* to put it nicely...my mom came up for a while and while she was a help hailey is sooo attatched to her that when it was time for her to go she just cried and cried. She woke up about an hour ago ( around 10:30pm ) crying for Mawmaw Got Audrey's invites for her birthday party, finally, and it's only 2 weeks away so I need to fill those out, now, at 11:30 at night. Courtney is cluster feeding, so I constantly have a baby at ...

Just thought I'd jot down some misc things we have been doing this week. I've been trying to remember what it was like when teh kids were little, like Courtney, and even now, just 2 years after Audrey was that age, I draw only little bits and peices of what we did and what I thought...

We got beds yesterday, two sets of bunks with the original plan being a bunk in Tommy's room for him and Andrew, a bunk in the girls room and Tommy's old twin in the girls room for Hailey, Destiny ...

My poor boy is still so upset about the boy:girl ratio of the house. We've been telling him maybe we'll have a boy next time ( even though there will be no next time...he doesn't need to know that ). So now he's telling everyone..."Mommy had a baby girl this time, but next time she'll have a baby boy!!"...now people feel the need to maul me with questions on whether or not I am SURE that this is the last one....why does it matter so much to everyone else if it is or isn't?? Courtney ...

I have lots of these to blog, but I'll do this one first since it was the first thing that happend:

Jan 11th, 6:45am, enter hailey into the bedroom where I am standing with my water just broken.

Hailey: Ew, Mommy!! You peed yourself!!

Mommy: No, mommy's water broke, that means it's time to go have the baby!!

Hailey: No mommy, don't lie, it's not nice. You peed yourself. That is sooooo yucky, mommy. Your a big girl, you not pee yourself, ...
