AAAHHHH! Time to baby proof!

Titus is officially mobile! Yesterday, I left Titus on his play mat in the living room and took Raquelle to change her diaper. I heard Titus start crying so I finished up and went to get him. He was stuck under his high chair! I don't know how he got there, but he did! No one else was home so he had to have done it himself. Since then, I've noticed he uses a combination of rolling, twisting and a little bit of scooting to get where he wants to go. No army crawl yet, but he is getting up onto his hands and knees! He is a very strong baby.

Also, Titus has caught up with Raquelle in size! Both kids now wear the same size diapers! Raquelle originally moved up in clothes sizes because of her chubby little belly. Since then, she has grown taller without gaining any more weight. The other day, She was out of pants (I hadn't done laundry), So I pulled some out of T's drawer and put them on her! Surprise! They fit! She has trimmed down enough to fit back into 12 month pants, and they are only a tad short on her. Now I'm wondering if I should unpack the 18 month clothes I had boxed up or if I should just leave her in 24 month. I guess that's what happens when you grow several inches but only gain 2 lbs in the last 6 months! The kids have their check up at the dr next week, so they will get officially weighed and measured then. I predict Titus to be 18 to 19 lbs and 27 to 28" tall!

 I have not posted anything on this blog in about 9 years!  The kids are growing up, and last night, as teenagers, Kezzy came across this blog.  “Mom!!! You have a blog?  Can I read it?”  Since then, she and Titus have been reading everything on here, reminiscing about how cute they were when they were little.  It got me thinking that maybe I should resurrect this old blog!  I have another child now (Theo) who was never even mentioned in any previous posts, and very little is on here about Annabelle and Philemon!  I’ll have to think about what I want to write about, now that the kids are older.  In the mean time, here is a new picture of my now much more grown up children.  This picture is of me and the kids on Mothers Day.

Raquelle is here!

Raquelle Elizabeth was born Sunday March 5th at 5:49 AM after 41 hours of labor! I was sent home from the hospital 3 times Friday and Saturday because I was not making very fast Progress. Contractions started out 3 min apart Friday at noon and got really strong by about 11 am on Saturday. I could no longer stand the pain so they had to keep me this time. By 4 pm I was at 3.5 cm and Contractions were 2 to 3 min apart, and so strong I was shaking uncontrolably through them. So I begged for an epi (gave up on going natural after the first 28 hours). The epi was the most traumatic part of the whole thing. As they were putting it in, my blood pressure dropped dangerously low and they had to rip it out and give me two shots of epinephrin to raise it back up and then start over. The 2nd try, they put the needle in too deep and punctured the fluid behind the epidural cavity, which caused the fluid between my brain and spinal cord to start leaking. This causes horrible migrain headaches that th...

The Dream Giver

I haven't written in a while, but as I start to toy with the idea of moving away from facebook, I find myself toying with the idea of reactivating this old blog.  I'm not sure what direction it will take.  Perhaps an overview of things I am learning?  Perhaps cute stories about the kids and every day life?  Maybe an occasional allergy friendly recipe... I don't know.  For now, I am a firm believer in life long learning and mentorship.  I strive to discipline my brain and my personal development daily with books I read, what I watch or listen to, Bible studies, and people I hang out with.  I just finished reading the book "The Dream Giver" by Bruce Wilkinson, the author of "The Prayer of Jabez."  I was surprised at how much I really enjoyed this  book! A short overview.  "The Dream Giver" is about a "nobody" named "Ordinary" who lives in the land of "familiar."  Every day, he wakes up and goes to the same job.  ...
