Life after having Alexander

Baby AJ is 9 weeks old now and still such a little guy who just loves life. He was my biggest baby weighing 5lb 7oz and 18in. After spending 3 weeks in the NICU daddy got to come home from IRAQ for 2 weeks and rescue me. It was such a BIG help having him home and the kids really enjoyed it. 2 weeks went by really fast and it was time for me to play MOMMY of 3 all by myself. So its been 4 LONG ADVENTUROUS weeks of CRAZINESS but we are SURVIVING. The kids are adjusting to being back with mommy and having a new addition to the house. I have to constantly keep up on Ash for he likes to take Alex on a roller coaster ride in his swing. But he sure loves his baby! Ash will be two in August and still is super small in the 2% in weight and not in the charts for height yet. He still is wordless but that seems to be his only delay. But that is fine because his 4 1/2 year old sister(Aubryn) SPEAKS plenty for the both of them. Ash is favorite thing to do right now is pull the outlet covers out with his teeth. We put a stop to that. LOL! Aubryn is doing great but still crys for daddy occationally but that is to be expected. She spells her name now and is so PROUD of that. She missed the cutoff date for Kindergarden so she wont be starting this next year with her friends. So she'll do Pre-School. She is very much into Hannah Montana and cant wait to go see the Moive. I think its safe to say that Im pretty CONTENT with three children and I think one more would be asking for it. I am blessed to have such an AMAZING family and HUSBAND! I thank GOD for them everyday.

Hospitalized bedrest

SO its been 2 1/2 LONG weeks in the hospital. Nothing has changed for better or worse. Im 32 weeks pregnant and in 70% efaced with a very short CERVEX.

I went into labor the other night but they were able to stop it. So I sit and wait eachday out hoping little Alexander stays in me until at least 35 weeks.

He is also BREECHED which isnot good at this point. If he doesnt flip I'll have to have a c-section.

I also just found out that I have Gestational diabetes...Also not fun. No junk food. Hospitalization and no junk food. It really STINKS!

My baby shower is going to be next friday here at the hospital. Im excited. I love getting visitors.

I will keep you all posted if anything changes.

The Snow is finally starting to melt...

BUT WE HAD FUN WHILE IT LASTED!

Aubryn helped her uncle Tim build a SNOWMAN.

Well to me it looked half pig/half bear!

Still so cute though!

Aubryns favorite Uncle Tim came all the way from North Carolina to have Christmas with us.

She was beyond HAPPY!

I am enjoying the freezing cold but so ready for the snow to be gone and the rain to come.

But not quite ready to take all my decorations down.

I think I'll wait till John comes home im March.

Hope everybody has a FUN and SAFE New Years Eve!

God Bless!

Merry Christmas and happy holiday

We spent our christmas this year with the Mawet Family and boy did we have fun. Well at least I did. Some people were CRANKY but I was filled with the SPIRIT of Christmas. It was a very SAD and LONELY Christmas for my little Aubryn...not having daddy around this year was hard for her. She got some very nice things and was very appreciative. She loved everything and made sure we all knew that. Her favorite thing she got was her trampoline. Ash didnt care much about his presents. He had so much fun with the wrapping paper and bows. SILLY BOY! And he loved standing/climbing on his presents. We also had a white Christmas this year. And it was so BEAUTIFUL!
