Week in Review: May 28-June 1

(Ephee and Kole having fun during the game--LOL)

(Had to play on a very wet field--after 2 wks of rain)

(Holding up trophy's at the banquet for playing a good season)

(Before her appointment...she's happy)
(Not so happy :(...LOL)
(Baby girl get's her weigh in)


Had another fun filled week: Celebrating my hubby's birthday (sorry no pic..just had a short video but couldn't download), Shiloh's playoff game (who's team almost went to the Championship), Shiloh's flag football banquet, and Ana's 4 month appointment. I think there were some other little happenings but can't remember at the moment. Trying to make this post a little brief cuz right now I should be doing other things than typing on this blog. Yes, laundry, to name a few.....LOL

Donnie's birthday was so busy we had his Birthday dinner on Friday. I made his favorite: Meatloaf, with Mashed Potatoes and green beans on the side and for dessert...Apple Pie (Publix--no amazing creations at this point of my life) with vanilla ice cream (buy one, get one deal from Publix).

Shiloh played his last Playoff game this past Thursday. We played a tough team.--(the coach on the other team kept calling all sorts of fouls and "complaining" about tiny details...wasn't fun) They had us over by three touchdowns and he still was trying to beat us down :( Either way...Shiloh's team had a good team spirit.

Ana had her four month check up today (Monday). She is doing great. She weighed in at 12 lbs 10 oz, and about 24 inches tall. She is very proportioned with her height and weight. She falls around the (30% range for both height and weight). She didn't get vaccines this month (we usually wait till our babies are about 6 months--less stress on the baby and body), but the doctor visit knocked her out. She didn't enjoy getting undressed and having the Doc poke her all over her little body. Not fun!! I 'm with you girl!!! LOL. I am so glad she's been healthy. She's had a few colds but very blessed for healthy kids.

Coming up this week: I have a homeschool pool party Wednesday (that will be fun); I order my homeschool books on Wednesday (my book supplier is coming into town that day); My big homeschool evaluations are happening on Thursday afternoon (I'm a little nervous, but I know she (evaluator) will say I did great!--hopefully ); Friday, I go into to get my back cracked (this has become a weekly thing, since having 8 babies--I need some serious work); Saturday I have a friend and her whole troop (they have lots of kids also) coming over for dinner, it will be lots of fun and hopefully they can make it still; and Sunday--my day of rest and going to Church...

Until then...


Chris

Soooo busy but it is a good busy. About the chiropractor- I hear you. That reminded me how badly I need to go. I only have 4, I cant't imagine what I will feel like after 8 :) Blessings.

What Makes us Better Mothers? How do we View others?

What makes us better mothers? Do you homeschool or send your kids to school? Do you cloth diaper, use disposables or both? Do you breastfeed, bottle feed or both? Do you home birth, hospital birth or done both? Do you natural birth, use epidurals, or done both? Do you cook with whole foods or open up a box of Kraft Mac and Cheese? Do you home church or are a member of mega church? Do you wear a head covering, long skirts or have short hair and wear trendy clothes? Do you do attachment parenting or let your babies cry to sleep? Do you have 2 children or 20? Do you use birth control or not? Do you live on your own land/farm or do you live in a small apartment? Do you work or stay home with the kids? Do you immunize or never dare to inject your child? I am going to be very transparent and open with you all. I don't know if it's just hormones but what I have swimming in my heart and mind lately needs to come out. So this is the case for my posting this side of me. I know we can ...

Joyful Mother wasn't very Joyful....

A short little post to let you know I AM OK!!  I know the last post was rather hopeless than hopeful.   I am doing much better and I do feel like there has been a bit of a breakthrough in my attitude.  I have been letting every little thing on this journey bother me so very much.  It doesn't matter what it wass....it was bothering me.  I was even snappy to my mother-in-law the other day and it wasn't very pretty or Christ Like at all!!  :(    I am so very thankful my mom-in-law loves me unconditionally and embraces me even when I am ugly.  Seriously!  I was letting everything bother me!!  I had been making myself out to be a burden or a "visitor" rather than a daughter.  I wasn't allowing myself to be accepted rather I was making myself out to be a burden.  A burden that no one had put on me.  I did this to myself by listening to the enemy's lies.  After a good talk with my mom-in-law and with the Lord, ...

She is Here!! Welcome Ana Karisa!!

Just a quick update to let you know we had the baby!!  Yay!!!! :D Here name:  Ana Karisa (pronounced  A-nah  Ka-ree-sah  ) Born: January 30 at 9:15 PM Weight:  7'2 oz  19 inches  Beautiful little girl.   Here are some pictures and when I start feeling normal and not so much like a milk cow, then I will post the details of what took place on Delivery day. ( Ana about 5 minutes old) (Here she after her check up--about 30 minutes old)   (Coming home!!  1 1/2 days old) We came home yesterday late afternoon, and I am lacking much sleep.  I really haven't slept since last Saturday.   She is nursing a lot right now to bring down my milk.  I've been nursing around the clock.  Almost every hour.  I am doing this because she has been hungry and I need my milk to come in as soon as possible.  I am showing signs today of it coming in.  She is not so fussy and more content.   It is so easy to forget about those newborn days.  It doesn't matter how many babies you have had in the pas...
