Slow down...Enjoy your family.

Have you ever just sat down alone and thought about how quickly life passes us by? or take our families for granted?   I did that today,  I've been thinking a lot.  I guess being on maternity leave I do have some time on my hands.  I'm not always tending to the baby, he does sleep, and my kids are in school full time, and my husband is at work.  So I do have time to spend on me, or play online when they are at school,sleep or work.  SO calm down! No one is being neglected.  So recently I have had  time to reflect on life and all that emotional garbage. Today I was thinking, it's been 5 weeks since I had DJ.  And I've been out of work since the last week in November.   A break that was most def needed!  But I was thinking why do we rush things?   we rush traffic,  we rush the day,  we as people are just always in a hurry to make the day or our life to go by so quickly.   I'm guilty of it.   I think we should just slow down, breathe, and enjoy our families.  

I often get mad if the house isn't perfectly clean, or my kids mess up their homework.  I just need to calm down and enjoy the moments I have with my family.    Last year I saw people post on facebook about loved ones passing away,  or I watch in the news how babies and kids were killed in wrecks or by abuse.   These parents don't have their kids to do homework with, or to tuck in at night.  I couldn't imagine losing a child.  and I think about that when I start yelling or get impatient with my kids.  Like what for?  There are so many parents that will never get this chance again.   Why take it for granted?  I mean there are times I even yell from the bedroom at night "nite kids".   Are you serious?  This year I want to be more patient.  I want to be able to be a better mom, a fun mom, a more patient mom.   I think we are all guilty of this,  but only some will admit it.   LOL.   Anyway.  I'm going to start blogging more.  You can follow me on twitter as I update that just as much as I update facebook....

It's a BOY!!!! He has arrived 12/10/13 8lbs 13oz

He is here!
My son.  My beautiful, perfect baby boy.    I haven't updated this blog since July.  My apologies.   I had a yucky pregnancy.  I was sick a lot, I was hurting a lot.   I just felt like crap.  I was dealing with the usual bull crap from my job, and then dealing with the pregnancy and my hormones of being an evil crazy pregnant woman!   But he is here.   I'm so happy,   I don't think I've been this happy in a long time.   The girls are so helpful, and at times, maybe they are too helpful.  But they back away and give us the space we need.   Desmond(daddy) seems to be on cloud 9. He is so happy too!    I feel like my family, my life is now complete.   Not that I felt like something was lacking something before Lil Desmond, it's just now I feel like I have everything that I needed to complete my family.  
            I'll take the next couple of days to post pictures from my entire pregnancy since I had quit blogging in July. I'll leave you with a picture of my beautiful family.

8 weeks......

I had my 2nd Dr appointment today. 

I'm 8 weeks, and the baby looks GREAT!   Great heart beat and all.  I'm so happy, now that I saw that.   Going to church tonight, so don't have much time....Hope everyone is doing well

I just want my energy back!

I'm 8 weeks pregnant today.   And I'm still exhausted as I was 2 weeks ago.    I'm constantly queezy and I just want to come home from work and sleep.    I hate that because I'm a control freak,  because I like to clean and make sure all is all and all is in order.  But right now,  I just can't  UGH!!

Dr appt is Wednesday.
Since I had gestational diabetes with Jamey.  I have to have some little extra test this week.  Woo hoo for me.    But I do get another ultrasound.

Oh...and I'm crate training our new dog.  Which by the way....SUCKS

Can't sleep

Tonight,  I'm emotional.   I know, shocker.  My oldest daughter is spending the night away from home.  And while she is spending the night with someone I trust, I just wish she was home.   And for some reason lately. I have been unable to relax when we are all not home.    Weird I know.:'(

Pictures at 6 weeks of pregnancy

Here are some pictures from my six weeks

Jasmine and the chess club

Hey Yall.   Today I'm so annoyed.  My middle daughter Jas has chess club in the mornings on Friday.  She has to be in by 7:40am.  It starts at 7:30am.   if your not in by 7:40am, the door is pretty much shut in your face.  So now I'm thinking about her today.  She tried so hard to get up this morning and get up on time to go.  So I know she was crushed....
Just thinking about her....
