My Girls,My Family ,My LIFE !!!!

So I think I've just decided to start blogging (well this one anyway) on my girls. They are such a blessing and I love them more and more everyday ! Even though we've been through some tough times and some bad days , but all the good times and the good days definitely out way the bad ! So I just want to share some of my girls' life with everyone .

I ll start with Brooke Nae , THE Princess !! ~ She is gorgeous .. in her own words !! :) ~ When we found out we were pregnant with her it was a bit of a shocker but we were still very excited . We had the best of best support, that anyone could ask for ! From just about everyone we knew ! Even though with this pregnancy we didn't give either mother their first grand baby , but we did give a first granddaughter !! So the first couple months were very hard , I was very sick , I couldn't eat , and couldn't keep anything down . I think I actually lost weight at first . But it all went away after just a few months ! Thank goodness .

Then all throughout the whole pregnancy everything went fine ... it was absolutely amazing to experience this for the first time ! Everyday watch your body change because of this sweet thing inside ! I still remember the first time she moved ... It felt so weird at first , but I remember me and my husband laying there for probably two hours playing with my belly trying to get her to do it again ! :) So here comes the due date which I believe was September 9,2004 . The day was here and gone ! NO BABY !! .... So went to the Dr. the next day and she said we were going to set up induction ! That's when I started getting nervous !! So she set it for September 15 if baby doesn't come first . I thought for sure she would come and I wouldn't have to get induced ! But no , we went to the hospital 5:00 AM Sep.15,2004 , and they started it right away. Slow start , waiting for the meds and stuff to kick in. And start to work . I think I started contracting and in labor about 8 o'clock that morning and it lasted for 13 1/2 hours. And at 9:34 pm our sweet baby girl was here . She weighed 6lbs 12oz and was 21 1/2 in. long.And couldn't have been more perfect ..and all the pain and suffering I went through all day slowly started to fade away . But man was I tired ! So we got to go home 48 hrs. later . It was definitely weird coming home with this new baby , but it was awesome ! I've wanted to be a mom since I was a little girl ! That's the only reason I wanted to grow up . So then we were a family of 3 . And well since then she has grown up more than I would like her to , but I guess it just happens ! She had her nights where she would just scream and we didn't know why ! We would try everything imaginable ! But we got through all that . ....

When she was 1 we bought our first home and moved ! We've been here every since . And she has grown so much and to be so beautiful , and is such a good person ! I hope she stays that way ! :) When she finally had about all her teeth in , we noticed that there was a cavity growing in between her top front teeth . :[ So I made her a dentist app. and that dentist told me they were baby teeth and not to worry about it , so him being a professional I took his advice ! And a couple months went on and it started getting so bad she was complaining about it , so we took her in for a second opinion and that dentist told me he couldn't believe he told me not to worry about it , and that if he would've done something about it then she would've been alright but it's gone too far by now , and he told us she was gonna have to have them pulled out !!! I started crying , thinking of my baby going through something so major for just a little girl . We were on like a 3 month waiting list so finally when it was time for us to go , I was so nervous and I DID NOT want her to have to do this ! It was so sad when she came out from surgery .. she was still trying to wake up a little and she just looked so sad , saying they took my teeth .. how come they took my teeth !! ? I felt so bad I just sat there rocking her , crying ! It took a while to get use to it , and she wasn't able to hardly anything for the next week , so she would ask , " is this soft or liquid "? on everything she wanted to eat , It was so cute !

So now that's over and were all over it , but that is definitely the hardest thing we've had to go through with her ! And I know theres people who go through worse everyday , so I'm grateful that she has had such a happy healthy life !! And today she has grown up so much !! She is SO smart !! She learns more and more everyday ! She amazes me with some of the stuff she does and says !! I just love her so much !!! More and more each day ! Now we are looking forward to getting her into preschool ! I don't know if she's gonna get in this year or not , she has a late b-day and the cut-off date is exactly 2 weeks before her b-day ! So I don't know if we're gonna be able to get her in or not ! So we'll see !!

TO BE CONTINUED : MOMMY IS BEING YELLED AND I'M PRETTY SURE THAT WOULD BE ME !! :)

A midwestern moms Thoughts and Experiences on Parenting

This is my first attempt at blogging.So here i go




Motherhood is the absolute greatest joy in life !! I am so blessed that I was able to have my own kids and raise them the way I want to ! I was also blessed with two beautiful fully healthy girls. And the whole process of being pregnant is absolutely amazing !!! Watching your body grow as well as your little one inside. I would probably be pregnant all the time if I wouldn't end up with a million kids :) I love the feeling of being pregnant inside and out !!! I hope every one gets to experience it at least once. There are so many different things to know and to go through being a mom. Some days are wonderful , some are very stressful , and cant wait for them to end , but still how is it possible to miss your kids while they're sleeping ? :) There is alot to parenting , and every bit of it a a great joy , you have your firsts of everything which are always so much fun ! You have your first smile , coo , sitting , standing , crawling , steps , potty , school , ... and my list could go on and on ... and the first time your kids say mama is just heart melting . I just experienced many if not all of these in just the past few months . With an older sister around it makes it so much better , even if she is only 4 , shes a great help , and she loves her baby sister so much , and it shows for sure. She has her times where she wants all the attention , of course that's what shes been used to , and that's where it becomes difficult ! Sometimes I feel as I don't give her enough as I should , but believe me she gets plenty !!
I have plenty of experiences to share , probably way too many to even think of , but I know some things in the road of parenting are very difficult and frustrating , but you get through each and every obstacle that comes your way . I am no expert by no means , seeing how I've only been doing this for 4 yrs. but I have definitely taught myself and been taught alot on this subject . Honestly I think this is what I'm best at ! Being a mommy. So as far as some advice , keep patient !!! lol ..... need lots of that being a mommy. I 've learned with more than one kid to make it fair both ways, you know don't go to the store buy one and not the other , no matter what the age !! I have definitely learned with potty training there's really nothing YOU can do but be supportive ... they will go when they are ready !! And that is a proven fact . Some other proven facts ( not experiences ) ... that when you think its time to buy your baby those cute little walking shoes , to help her to start walking sooner , that really your slowing them down . A barefoot babies feet will actually strenghten faster . So relax and let em go barefoot . * And also, some parents think that using infant walkers will help them learn quicker also , but in fact they are dangerous and a baby needs to be loose and experiment on her own and to learn their muscle coordination. It's best to just let baby go and learn alot on her own , of course with your support. But they will learn most things on their own. As for coordination skills and such . I hope everyone enjoys reading my blog and hopefully I will come back and update further down the road . For now momma duty is calling :)
