Photo at 22 Weeks

Obviously I am having trouble getting our California trip on here.  For that reason,  I have to interject with other posts.  I took this picture a week and a half ago, and if I don't get it on here soon, I will be even bigger!  So, here is me at 22 weeks.  I am now almost 24 weeks.  Pretty much the same size though.  Baby boy is moving lots more and I love feeling him.  It never gets old...it doesn't matter that this is my 4th.  I LOVE it!!!   We are getting so excited for him to come.  We still have a while to go, but we have so many things coming up the next few months that I know that it is going to just FLY by!  He will be here before we know it.  I can't wait to see the kids with him.  They are both VERY much in love with any babies that they see.  It will be fun to see them with "their" baby. 

 I held a 2 month old baby the other day and couldn't believe how small he was.  I am so used to Kaden being my "baby" that he is what is "small" to me right now.  I just know that when this baby comes that Kaden is going to all of a sudden seem huge!!  It is crazy how that works.  Over the past week, Kaden and I started our own little tradition.  After lunch, he grabs his "banket" (blanket) and I rock him to sleep for his afternoon nap.  I cherish these moments with him.  I know that it won't be long before this won't happen very often.  I am really trying to live in the now and not wish for November to get here.  This has always been difficult for me, but I am finally learning how to love and really appreciate the time that I am living at the moment.  Yes, it is incredibly hard to have toddlers.  And the thought of bringing a brand new baby into the mix terrifies me, but I know that this is such a special time in my life, and theirs.  Their little smiles makes everything so worth it.  I love being a Mommy and am so thankful that my Heavenly Father has trusted me with some of His precious spirits.

Everett is so little and he is all I look at all day long... so when Jake comes home, it seems like he has the biggest face I have ever seen. I know Jake is a little bigger than Kaden, but I bet Kaden will seem like a monster when your new baby comes!

It has been a very long time since I have last posted.  Very long.  I have so much catching up to do, but I need to write about a very special little girl and the fact that she is turning TWELVE today.  I first wrote about my story here .  If you have no idea what I am talking about start there.  Read my story.  It was the first time that I really shared my story out in the open for the whole world to read about.  Five years later, so many things have changed.  I have changed.  We have added 2 more beautiful boys to our family.  We are blessed beyond what we could have imagined.  Today, I will be thinking about Alex all day and I will play the events over and over in my head for the next few days. Alex is twelve today and that blows my mind.  Sometimes I feel like that experience was something that I just lived and other times it seems like forever ago.  But, I can't help but continue to ache for her and ache for that re...

A VERY Significant Day

I am behind on some blogging, but I realized that I won't be able to get all of that done right now before I post this. And, I really want to post this today. Some people get the opportunity to have something so significant in their life happen that changes them forever. I am one of those people. Today is a very special day for me. One of a few very special and significant days for me. I have only been celebrating this day for the past 7 years, but I will celebrate it for the rest of my life. Today is Birthmothers Day. Yes, I am a birthmother. I know that most of you do know this about me, but there are some of you who don't know and this will come as a shock to you. I wanted to take this opportunity to write down my feelings and hopefully I can share some sort of insight to this topic. For those of you who don't know...a birthmother is someone who has placed a baby for adoption. When I was 18 I discovered that I was pregnant and was scared beyond imagination. F...

My Story--10 Years

Image
I have many titles, a daughter, a sister, a wife, a mother, etc.  I cherish all of those titles, and try to be the best that I can be in each of those areas.  But, a title that I hold very dear to my heart is the title of "Birthmother".  Almost three years ago, I came "out" to the world that I was a Birthmother.  Close friends and family knew, but I wasn't ready to be so open about it yet.  I finally felt I was ready, and wrote my story HERE .  Please feel free to read it.  It is a long one, but it is the whole story. That was three years ago when Alex was seven.  Now she is TEN!   I have changed a lot in ten years.  I am so much more open with my story.  I am proud of the woman that I have become and the decisions that I have made in my life to follow my Heavenly Father.  I don't care who knows my story now.  If they hear it from me, then it is told the right way. Today is Alex's tenth birthday!!  Whenever h...
