Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

It is April and the weather here is gorgeous! The kids love to play outside and I love to sit outside and be lazy!! Making memories is the perfect thing to do every chance you get! Love the pic of Jay and her friend Madison being silly girls. Takes me back....way back! I sure miss those days when I was young and didn't have a care in the world. Life has changed so much for me. Getting older is really sad but at least I am still alive and healthy. I do love to watch my kids enjoy being kids.

pregnancy woes

Well I had an ultrasound today....not good news. I found out that once again I have placenta previa. This is where your placenta attatches to your uterine wall way too low. This can cause several problems including preterm labor and hemmorrhage. I had the same thing with my third child Jaylee. At my final ultrasound in my nine month it at moved up so I was blessed. The end result if no changes is delivery with a c-section. I don't want that so lets keep our fingers crossed it moves up before time. I am on partial bedrest....not very strict. Just can't lift anything over 5lbs and have to take frequent bed breaks and naps. Yeah right....breaks in my house? That is not happening. There are way too many kids running around and constant mayhem going on....oh well. Lets just see how this goes.

Mom's Birthday...a true miracle

Well today is my mom's 67th birthday! I am so blessed to have her here to celebrate it. After all we have been through in the last year since her wreck we deserve a day like today. She forgets it is her birthday every few minutes as she does other things but at least she is here. She has come such a long way especially physically. We are pretty sure her memory isn't ever going to be back to normal but that is something we will deal with. I just want her to enjoy what she does have and I want her to know she is loved. The journey we traveled together is one that has taught me many life lessons and especially not to take life for granted. I called some of the family and her friends and planned a surprise party for her. It was a great turnout with lots of food and presents. She hopefully knows how much she is loved. Happy Birthday mom!
