Just Thinking

Isn't it funny how you don't realize things until afterwards? Like how you say something not really even meaning anything by it.

      For example, I have always said "I will have all my kids by the time I am 30."  I really didn't think much about it. It was more of a joke. Somehow it worked out though. I had my 1st when I was 19 and last when I was 29. Then I made a decision to permanently be done a month after I turned 30. I didn't think of it until now. The thing that I have always joked about happened. How crazy is that?

Mom of boys

I have learned so much as a mom of all boys. 

For example: 

Attitudes are horrible

Walking around in underwear is no big deal.

That for some reason. They will grab their privates everytime mom changes their diaper. 

That tummies and butts talk.

That it is hilarious to them to fart or burp. 

The house is ALWAYS loud. Sounds like a herd of elephants upstairs.

There is always mud and dirt on floors and clothes.

It is a chore to get them to take baths or showers.

Things that come out of there mouths are so funny. 

They love their mommy. 

I have been told that having boys was so much easier then having girls. I would of done anything to have a girl. I made due with smocked clothes and their name on everything I could put it on. This drove the dads crazy. I think I was given all boys for a reason. I can be a girly girl when I want to but I would much rather be on a softball field playing, camping, or being on a four wheeler. Collyn and Grayson start soccer this fall. Do you have any idea how giddy this makes me? I think I am more excited then they are.  I have finally got to the point that I am okay being the only girl. This means I get spoiled by them. I get all the kisses and hugs. I am very protected. I will get plenty of daughter-in-laws one day. 

I love my boys more then they will ever know. 

SAHM

This is so true. 

A day at the park

There is nothing better then going to the park. We all loaded up for a friends bday party. The boys were so excited. Maybe mom was a little excited too. We had a blast.

Where have I been?

I have not blogged in forever. I had no idea how long it has been. Wow!!!

We had a very busy summer. We took Seth, Collyn, and Sullivan to Six Flags St. Louis. It was a blast. Weather was awesome. We walked right onto rides. Then Brian and I went to Atlanta. Six flags in Atlanta was so not as fun as St. Louis. We just got back from Spring River with friends. That was totally better then I expected. I can't wait to go back. We are going to the beach in September. I love vacations!

I hope to blog more soon.

My Birthday Boy

A year today my last baby boy made his way into the world. I cant believe it has been a year. Let me give you an insight of his journey.

We had a HUGE cancer scare. I went in for more test and was told pregnancy test was negative. We expected that. We have been trying for a while before we tried fertility meds. They caused more problems then they helped. Anyways, back to tests. So doc walk out of room and came back and asked Brian to leave and said " The nurse walked past your test again and you are pregnant." I was completly in shock. He said "Can, I tell Brian?" I said "yes". If I could redo that moment I would not of told him. I wished I could of surprised him in a cute way. The pregnancy was rough. I was in and out of hospital. The last month was the hardest. I keep contracting but not dialating. I begged doc to help me every visit. Finally on April 5, 2010 he sent me to hosiptal for fluilds. I started contracting like crazy. I told my husband that he had to do something. I was hurting bad. I got up to go to the bathroom and started bleeding. We called nurse and she checked me and called doc. I was 3 to 3 1/2 cm dialted. I was like "Oh, Thank God." He admitted me. YAY!!!!
They moved me to a labor room. Labor took around 5 hrs. I was so numb I couldnt lift my legs. Thank you Mr. Epidurial guy. I have been through one natural birth. I didnt want to experience that again. After 3 pushes he was here. What a great feeling.
This year has been amazing getting to learn his quirks and little personality. I will post pics tomorrow of begining to present of Sullivan's life. I love you sweet baby boy! Happy Bday from Momma.
