My Mother's Day

Several years ago back in 2008 on Mother's Day I took a pregnancy test and found I out that I was expecting. It was litterally the happiest and scariest day of my life. Well until Sebastian actually arrived. Which he did a splendid job of coming into this world January 10, 2009.




That was the first year i actually celebrated Mother's Day. My son decided to tell his daddy at the age of 4 months old that he wanted to give me a picture of himself and his hand print in casting. Which was delivered to me at work where i cried and cried.




In 2010 i got to celebrate my second year of being a mother. Which was just as amazing as the first. My son decided that he would get me flowers that could never wilt or fade. They are wooden and still amazingly beautiful. He also got me a potted rose plant.




This year 2011 my son got me a mug that he designed himself its very cute!! From my husband i got an amazing book that was part of a series i love. And the two little girls inside me got me some pink roses.




Out of these three mother's day celebrations i have to say that what i enjoyed the most where the days in between. The breastfeeding the first several months. The watching my son learn to crawl and then walk and then talk. Being with my husband as we watched our son grow. He may only be two but a lot of things can happen in two years. I remember the teeth when they started coming in the first time he had a fever and of course his first boo boo. These are the things i enjoy and cherish.




I love my son and my husband for making me feel like one of the best mothers in the world. I am also so glad that i get to experience these things all over again with twin girls.






My favorite saying used to be "try try try again" it changed when i had my son.




While in the operating room ( due to a c-section ) after hearing him cry for the first time i told my husband "Im a mommy" this statement has never been so true as it is today. Am I also a million other things to other people? Of course but first and for most i am a mother and wife. I hope and pray that all mothers out there truly know and understand how special you are to have the kids that you do. But keep in mind that you can make ANY DAY a mothers day by simply thinking back on the day you gave birth. I do this several times a year and break out the video of sebastian after he was born and while i was in recovery. It was the hardest hour of my life and every time i watch it i cry.


Here is a link to the video please watch and enjoy http://youtu.be/AqxMZx0uRoQ


And although i enjoy the video very much i am scared as all get out with the twins because i know for the first hour of their life i will be recovering from surgery but i know we will have our handy camera there with us and i really wont need to worry.






So to all you mothers out there Happy Mother's Day. I hope that today you were able to reflect on your childrens lives and know that no matter what they love and cherish you just as much as you cherish them.

Oh!!! Hello there

Well its been a couple weeks since my last post. If you are a regular reader then you know i don't post very often. Normally because I just don't know what to say. I have been looking over you tube though and got the idea of doing a vlog (video blog) which i am thinking of doing on here. I am just not sure how i feel about that just yet. I may try it out and post an example of it and see what the response is.

Any whooo as most of my friends/readers know Ron has been having to deal with court issues about child support and such. Well he had his court date April 28th, I am just gonna cut to the chase and let you know they gave him an extension. So as long as we start making the child support payment and he continues to look for a job he wont go to jail. One of many problems with this is I am no longer working full time and with in the next week or two i will not be working at all and will be surviving on disability only. How ever we do rely heavly on Ron's mom who makes a ton more money than i do even though she doesn't work. She makes almost double my income a month. So fortunatly she has offered to help pay a portion of the child support to help us out.

BUT.....Looks like Ron has a really good chance of getting a job over at the copy center here in town and im really excited. It would be full time and his shift would be 3pm-11pm which actually would be really good for us. We would appreciate any and all prayers on this issue. we really need the income even though they will take about half of it for child support we will need the rest to supplement the income im not bringing in.

Okay so enough of that stuff. So back to doing the vlog. I have been following this mom on you tube that had twins last year in april. Its amazing the things that i have learned just from her vlogs alone. Thats where i got the idea from was from her. Also i will hopefully be posting new belly pics in the next few days. Its a little hard to get them done with a 2 year old running around and the fact that its hard to stand sit lay for too long lol. But im gonna try it =) So if you pay attention to my blogs and i hope you do and you think that vloging would be a better outlet or a different more interesting way for me to get my opinions and voice out there let me know. Would you watch them? Would you comment on them? Let me know what you think.

Thanks!!!!

new belly pics to come in the next few days.
and a practice vlog.
