Helping words to get through life

"To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did" When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better.
'The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.' "

Another one is 4!!!

Tomorrow My first little boy will be 4 years old at 5:58pm. Does not seem like it has been that long since having him in my arms for the first time. Crazy to think I have another one who has passed this mile stone. For his birthday we took him to Red Robbin and they gave him a Sunday for his birthday. Perfect for him with no wheat!!! He was so excited and did not want to share at all LOL. Then tomorrow he will have (wheat free) cookies at school and get to open his birthday pres. from us. His party is on Sat. and it will be a pirate dress up party! He is so excited to put on that Jack Sparrow outfit and have fun with all his friends. Should be a great time. I am making foam swards for all his friends, everyone gets eye patches, balloons and a pirate compass! Cant wait to see everyone playing and having a great time!

Fears...

at 21 weeks
double the size at 26 weeks
Ok so as everyone knows last month I had lots of pain with my pregnancy. I pulled a muscle and just could not get over it no matter how hard I tried. I finally after 3 weeks was able to be up and back to normal with my kids. Which was so nice and They where so glad that Mommy was better and ready for the day again. Tryon was happy to because I could help out around the house and starting to get back to normal.
Well this last week I went in for my apt. expecting the normal of hear the baby then off to take my two test. The glucose test and the rogam shot....While at the doctors he listens to my baby and sounds great then he measures me...at 32 weeks. WHAT I was only 25 weeks and 4 days! He looked at me kind of funny but that was it. Said well that would be why I was having so much pain this last month because he jumped from being on time to 6 weeks early. Crazy....Did not think nothing of it other than he better watch me so I don't get to big.
Then this week read about a women who just delivered a 14 lb baby!!! OMG right! Well started reading about it and it was my story so far and the doc did not think the baby was going to be big even though she was measuring so far a head from about 5 months on. I am so worried this is going to happen to me. I have been induced with all 3 of mine the first two a week early and they where 8lbs 2oz and 8lbs 7oz. My last one was induced 2 weeks early and was 8lb 2oz. I have never had gestational diabetes either. Every one of them was measuring about 3 weeks ahead of term. SO with my past 3 it really scares me that this is happening. The other thing someones said is that there could still be a twin in there hiding very well...possible I know I have read where women give birth thinking it is one and surprise there is another one. I am worried that either one will happen the 2nd would be better than a 14 lb baby that is for sure! I don't know what to think and my poor body hurts from this sudden growth spurt this little guy had. My back is killing me and people about drop dead when I say that I am due in June! LOL not that every pregnancy they have not said "wow your big" or "are you sure its not twins" but this time I got "Sweetie you are so cute..any day now?" me "no not til June" her " Oh my sweetie I hope it comes early you look like you could pop. Good luck" Yeah not fun to hear but I know I am big too and now it is confirmed he is too. I have been praying for no more than a 9 lb baby please even if it is 2 no more than 9 lbs LOL. I know God will take care of me and if things get to bad surely the doc will induce if it get too bad. I am worried about bed rest for the first time during the pregnancy! This would not be a good thing for my other 3 who get worried now if I say " oh hold on mommy is hurting" they don't want me to be stuck on the couch again.
Please pray that this works out...he changes my due date if thing stay like this or orders a sonogram to see what is going on in there. Just makes me laugh because Sandler was normal during the last sonogram and now he is just huge. I know its not the weight because I have only put on about 8 lbs all together!!! Yeah not much at all for 26 weeks. Crazy baby in there LOL. I cant wait to see what happens next. Pray my body will take care and keep him in til he is viable too.

4 hours of work

As we start working to home school only house next year I am making plans to really start now so that it is not such a shock to us with a new baby and new way of life for Paisley/all of us. We where taking the kids out of mother's day out because we ran into big money problems this year and really cant afford the $320 a month payments for it. Wow right it was either keep my new car or pay for school....the car won! We went to school today to say bye to our friends and pick there stuff up and while telling Keyton's teachers that we just cant do it and we maybe moving around the end of the month to the start of April. Oh yes that's right Tryon's new job offer is in Abilene so we maybe moving back if he gets the job. We should know this week sometime. Anyways the director of the school over heard me and told me it was no problem to let them stay this month or as long as we needed to help out...FREE of charge. WOW I am blown away and as soon as Paisley heard that she said "Mom bring me my lunch Bye" and walked right into class. I tried to say no its ok but she would not take no for an answer! Made me cry because she said that they are not ready to say good bye to my kids and that it was fine and we are good in the money department. Wow I really did not think people with big hearts still worked in the real world. My heart is over joyed and the kids are so excited to stay for a few more weeks.
Anyways Back to home school.... Because I was thinking Mother's Day Out was over I spent the weekend and most of last night getting together a months worth of Preschool ready for the kids. With no work books to go off of like next year it was a little longer than I thought. LOL We are still going to home school and Mother's Day out for now and then if we move it will be only Home school til the fall when Keyton and Brezlyn (maybe if it works out) will go to Mother's day out in Abilene. I am so excited to start the experiments, games and more that i have found to go along with what we are learning! I went to the library today to get the books to go along with it too for circle time. This is going to be so much fun and I am glad we are starting before Little Sandler gets here in a few months! That way it wont be so much new on my plate when Fall Kindergarten gets here. Kids are excited to and the Art is going to be fun. I did find out how easy it is to convert thing into all three levels...My teacher side has been reawaken and ready for this. This is just what I needed to get going and all my teacher training is going to come in handy!!! I already have something made from school projects so that will help me out too. If you come to our house it will be filled with education and fun! Can't wait to start in the am with our first day of school. :) Hope the kids love it too.
