I'm Really Bad at This

Well school started back and I feel like I have no time at all. I get up early to nurse baby girl before getting ready and leaving for the day. Then, I get home as fast as I can to hold my baby, and that is exactly what I do all night until time for bed; she is really going to be rotten!! She is doing great at daycare, Ms. Michelle from church watches her for us. School is school and I am still working on getting back into the groove of things, which is why this is so short, I have to go make my lesson plans for the week.

Well the end of summer is here, for me at least, I go back to work Monday the 3rd. I am so not ready to leave baby girl, but we have a dear friend from our church family that is going to keep her for us; I know she will be well taken care of and she will spend Friday's with her daddy. It has been a rough end of the summer, way too busy. Aylin has had 2 colds and blocked tear ducts, we have had lectureship at Southaven, and we met some of Mommy's old friends. Bright side, she is still sleeping great!! In fact, last night she slept for 11 hours!!

Buster is 4

Our 2nd little blessing, Hilton Isaiah, was born 3 weeks early via an emergency c-section also because of preeclampsia. He was already 8lbs8oz and spent 9 days in the NICU because of a spontaneous pneumothorax (popped right lung); he also had a heart murmur and had to have a blood transfusion his very 1st night. Poor guy suffers from febrile seizures, and also took physical therapy for about a year b/c of delayed gross motor skills. We are so thankful to have this little man blessing our lives.

Puppy is 2

Our 3rd blessing, Weston Julian, was born 5 weeks early via another C-section because of preeclampsia. This pregnancy was a rough one: at 24 weeks I started having severe stomach pains and at 28 weeks had an emergency umbilical hernia surgery, and have been on bed rest ever since because of preeclampsia. At 32 weeks I started having daily headaches and frequent migraines (at least 2 a week). At 33 weeks our ultrasound technician discovered my amniotic fluid was decreasing and he was not showing much growth, so now we started twice a week visits and at least 1 ultrasound each week to keep a closer eye on him. We are incredibly thankful that our last little blessing arrived safely and weighed 5lbs 13oz and did not have to go to the NICU.
