Sleep...
Or should i say Lack of Sleep....I'm not joking, i haven't slept since last Wednesday! and if i do, its only an hour or two a day. I'm getting to be a tad on the cranky side! I tried reading before i go to bed....doesn't work because i end up finishing EVERY book. I tried listening to my Ipod...i cant sleep with those things in my ears. I can't take anything to help me sleep because it messes with my pain killers....so basically no sleep! The only thing that calms me down is Nora Jones but try to talk your husband into listening to a jazz singer while he sleeps...seriously, try! because they will laugh at you!

lost
hey everyone,
This is going to be a hard one for me to write but i know alot of people are wondering whats going on. I'm going to keep it short because im bawling and have been for awhile now and i honestly dont want to go into details....Andy and i ended up losing the baby yesterday morning....Wednesday we found out that the baby's heartbeat dropped down to 60 (which is low) and were told to prepare to loose the baby...then Friday morning we went in to check and sure enough the baby passed away...then i ended up in emergency surgery last night..Andy and i are completely heartbroken...all the the emotions that one feels when losing a child is new to us and is hitting us hard. we appreciate all of those who have called and left messages. we really do, but at this time we are just needed to grieve in private. But please know that we appreciate the love and the concern and we wont lock ourselves in forever. The pain is fresh and right now all i can do is just bawl..which is something i like to do alone...I know i need to be strong for our son and my parents are up here helping until i can get myself calmed..this has just been a very hard week on us. Thank you again for your thoughts and prayers and we will keep u posted on us.

5 Reasons Why Im Authentic
Beth Tagged me to do this little diddy about listing 5 reasons why Im an Authentic Mom...So here i go!
1). I HAVE THE C SECTION AND STRETCH MARKS TO PROVE IT...or what i like to call them...my battle scars!
2). Every time my son looks at me and smiles my heart just melts and i just want to hug him and never let goes....until its time to change a diaper...
3). If i dont have to go anywhere for the day i declare it Pajama Day. I do all my chores and and lounging around in sweats, T-shirt, and a pony tail!
4). There is just those days where the child pushes the button and i need a breather! I think being able to step aside from the situation until im calmed down helps me to handle whats going on...aka...mikee taking off his diaper and having target practice with the baby gate!
5). The Bags under my eyes...This is for the new baby...i get back AND side Paine's that really dont allow me to sleep that well...then i have to get up and use the bathroom every few hours...i guess this is the baby helping me get used to this schedule once he/she comes into this world!
With these 5 reasons, i would also add that i LOVE being mikee's mom, i wouldn't trade places with anyone. He is a blessing that has touched my heart forever and i know once this baby comes my heart will only grow!

Normal to Me
I have a wonderful, beautiful, little man for a son but we are now noticing a problem...sharing! He is fine with sharing his toys, his food, but when it comes to his momma you can forget it! Yes it makes me feel loved and all but when your son gets upset because a dog sat on his moms lap, what is he going to do when im holding a new born? Just one of my fears i guess. I know he is going to be the best big brother, that i don't doubt at all,I just know he is going to have a hard time transitioning, because lets be frank, it has been Mikee's world for the past few years and we are all just living in it!!
So far the pregnancy is going okay. im getting sicker now and im having more growing pains then i did with mikee, AND im constantly tired...but im so happy at the same time! Knowing that i get to hold another new born in my arms, and knowing that God blessed my family with another child of his puts a huge smile across my face! We have been getting mixed reviews by people who we told...some has been good but most has been...well...kinda angry at us. They don't understand why we would want to have another child because of mikee's special needs. That its selfish. One person even said that we were too poor to have two children. Yes i get angry at these responses but i also let them know our side....My son IS NORMAL...he might not be able to walk on his own, or talk that well...but he smiles, he laughs, he gets around his own way, he communicates by signing...and most importantly, He loves! God made him they way he is, and that is pretty perfect in my eyes. We have done testing beyond testing with Genetics and all of them have come back negative. No, we arnt rich by any means, but we have a roof over our head,food on the table, We both have jobs, and a God that provides. Yes i am scared that the same thing may happen again, but im also at peace knowing that we are going to be more then fine! Mikee is going to be great,and this new baby is going to have everything he or she needs and more love then he or she knows what to do with. So basically once i tell them that, they kinda don't want to talk to me anymore lol but oh well Cant win everyone over!

The Stork paid me a visit!
Yep, that's right! I'M PREGNANT!
I'm very excited/scared all at the same time. Excited that i have a little bun in the oven but scared out of my mind because of what happened with Mikee! But i know that God is in control and he believes that i can handle this so here i go!!
But i do have to say finding out i was preggers was a little rough. I went to the doctors yesterday to do some tests. Later that day the nurse called me to inform me that my body wasn't handling the pregnancy that well and that i wasn't producing hardly any placenta, which means i needed to prepare for a miscarriage...that's when my heart broke into a million pieces...After i got done calling Andy and sobbing for an hour the doctor called once again to inform me that they made a mistake, that they got my results and another patient mixed up....and that i was a very pregnant and healthy. I Bawled again...good tears this time...but i couldn't help but feel heartbroken for the mother who's test results i did receive. My heat goes out to her and her family...i only felt that pain for one hour, i cant imagine feeling it forever.
But i want to leave this post on a good note...I asked mikee what he wanted to name the baby and he decided on Bam Bam..I'm hoping for a pebbles!

Breathing Time
Hey All
Today has been a beautiful day and i wanted to share it with you!! First things First.....its been forever since i have blogged!!!! Im not good at this thing but im trying lol! So today has been a breath of fresh air which was needed in these past few months of crazy chaos and hospital stays....here is what i did!!!
*I woke up at nine, yes NINE in the morning. I GOT TO SLEEP IN!!!! Mikee was up before me but he just played in his room until i was ready to drag myself out of the bed.
*Made Oatmeal and toast for the duder and i while we watched some "ELMO"..mikees all time favorite monster. While i was feeding him he just cuddled up to me and told me all about his dreams...i think, i still havent mastered Gibberish yet.
*Texted/Called a friend who lives TOO FAR AWAY for my selfish needs lol...MISS YOU B!
*Had a great visit with my hubby at his new job
*Came home and put duder down for a 3 hour nap while i did the laundry, Facebook chat, and RELAXED
*Went to Safeway to grab some "Ghettie" fixings and had a PEACEFUL trip without mikee SCREAMING or trying to steal a block of cheese...yes it happened last week, i turned us right around and went back and paid for it...goober
And now im blogging away until its time to make dinner. Hubs got stuck at work and wont be home till later but i am looking forward to a mean game of Gen:)
The Lord has Blessed today with all the little things that happened. Im grateful to have the life i lead even if it a nightmare with hospitals i do know he is in the mist of it all watching over us and holding Michael's hand. He did so today because today was the first day in awhile where we had no seizures! Thank you Father!!
