Growing, growing, growing!

We all got weighed this morning since Thad un-hid the scale for the day. I think Titus just had a growth spurt because he suddenly looks huge to me again. Sure enough, this morning we weighed 24.2 lbs. Raquelle weighed in at 26.2 lbs. Raquelle was about 24 lbs at her 18 month check up, so she has gained 2 lbs in the last 6 months. Titus is now the weight Raquelle was at 18 months. I guess the good thing about him having a sudden growth spurt is that now all the 24 month clothes he got for Christmas fit him. He can no longer squeeze into his 18 month onsies. They are too short and don't snap. 24 month fits his waist and body size, but we are still rolling up some of the pants and sleeves. The things that were cotton and shrunk in the was are a perfect fit.

I got to weigh this morning too. I didn't lose any weight this week, but I did lose 6.5 inches total. I have dropped a clothes size in the last 2 weeks so I must be burning the fat and building the muscle.

When Thad gets home from work, I will probably ask him to hide the scale again for another week. I seem to do better sticking with my diet and exercise if I don't see what I actually weigh. Anyway, that's all for now. Mostly I just wanted to write to say thanks for all the 24 month clothes for Christmas. They fit Titus now.

 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.  ...
