A week at Mimi's..

Friday June 14th, 2013 I was heading out to my moms new house. She moved to Allen TX, from my home town of Paradise TX. That is a 50 minuet drive from my house. It was longer during rush hr. I just got my van out of the shop was having transmission problems. I paid the mechanic and left, guess what I still had problems it wasn't fixed. I was out all that money and now I don't have the money to fix it. I drove with 3 boys 6 and under, through Dallas rush hr, praying that my van would make it there and back. It was hot and I was tired, the boys fell asleep. I get to my sisters house to wait on my mom to get back from the lake. My sister left the next day on vacation, my mom had to watch her 2 kids. Now we have 5 kids 6 and under. Fathers day came and we Skyped daddy on the computer so he could see what his fathers day present was. My husband couldn't come out (he was on call this week for his job). Last night lil baby Zane decided to keep me up since 4:30 am and I was in and out of sleep until 7 am. I am tired and wanting to go to bed but alot has to be done. I am going to spend the next few days with my mom so she can bond with lil baby Zane and my kids can keep my sisters kids occupied and they have somebody to play with. This has been a long week. Since I couldn't go to my church Sunday, we listed to my Pastors message on the computer it was great. My middle child wow its weird to call him that. I'm use to called him my youngest now hes my middle. Has had tummy trouble and I'm praying that he gets over it. Zane is crying so I'm making this short.

Summer is almost here...

          Tomorrow is the last day of school for my oldest child Ethan. A whole year of Kindergarten has come and went so fast. It seems just like yesterday was the first day of school. We woke up had breakfast and I made him lunch to take to school. He dressed in his new "school clothes" and off we went. I dropped him off at the front of the school and watched him walk inside. It was a bittersweet moment. I was missing him already but I was glad I got a "break". As I drove away my youngest child Conner (at the time) kept telling me to go back and get Bubba. He had no idea what school was and all he wanted to do was play with his brother. As 3 pm came around I headed up to the school. That would be the same routine I would do for the next 9 months.
          A few weeks into the school year I found out I was expecting another baby. We wanted to have a lil girl so bad and my oldest prayed everyday that the baby was a girl. He wanted a sister. In December we got the news that we are having another boy. I was devastated, my heart was broken, I was mourning the loss of ever having a daughter. This was our last baby. I knew God had a plan, and that is was in HIS will for us to have another boy, but I wanted a girl. I loved my baby regardless of gender, and I was going to love him always. After time my broken heart healed and I was excited and couldn't wait to see my lil guy.
          Fast-forward to May 10, 2013. I was on the operating table, I was numb from the waist down. My doctor came in and started my c-section. I was nervous, I had been here 2x before, I knew what it was like. A few minutes later my doctor says "It's a Boy" and I hear my son cry for the first time. It brought tears to my eyes. After everything I went through in this pregnancy, from a subchorionic hemorrhage, false labor, and  all the other aches and pains, my 8lb 12oz baby boy was here. I was now a mom of 3 boys!
          Two weeks later I seen my oldest son graduate Kindergarten. Where has the time gone? Where did my baby go? Here I sit now writing this as Ethan is growling at Conner for messing up his legos. Conner is running around saying "nanana" as I am yelling at them to be quiet cause their brother Zane is sleeping. From legos, cars, trains, dirt, bugs and fighting this is my life as a Mom of 3 Boys!
