Dr's Visit Today

As excited as I am to be having a baby girl I have those moments when I worry!

Today sitting at the dr's office a million things went through my mind.

You see these young healthy pregnant woman and think goodness I am to old for this!

With every visit they explain there is this test and that test that can be done because of my age . Do I want to check for all those things?

So Far I have felt good about saying no to all the tests, and leaving it in God's hands.

Today Dr. Davis asked if I knew the because of my age I would have another ultrasound at 32 weeks, and then after that every week I would go in and have to be put on a monitor for the babies movement etc.  and heart rate. I also have to go through another wonderful sugar test.

He said That studies show that woman over the age of 35 have a risk of having smaller babies!

This is hard for me to take in knowing I have always had big healthy babies.

I guess this is something I will have to adjust too, and try not to worry about.

Otherwise lets see, my iron was low, and my blood pressure was high.

Not enough for any changes, just a reminder on eating heathy and drinking more water.

Emma's heart sounded good though she sure did not want to stay still...

Another 4 weeks til I go again...As long as all is well...

Field Trip Photo's

I could not believe I had 386 photo's to downoad off my camera today! I knew I had not taken that many pic's this week! Then I realized Tomas and Samantha had my camera 1/2 the time! I guess they take after their mom... Always snapping photo's. Sometimes I feel lost if I don't have my camera.  Anyway I had several great photo's of the boys field trip to the Spartanburg Pow Pow Last Weekend and wanted to share. Both 3rd and 5th grade went and Tomas got to hang out with 5th grade!

History Lesson

Story Teller

If you get a chance to go on field trips you learn so many things. Not just a History Lesson, but a Lesson in Life. Your kids grow up so fast, don't miss the small things. Learn who they are, what they like, who their friends are!! I hope I always have the chance to stay close to my children! They mean the world to me!

Life Changing Moment

March 11, 2010


After a long morning in the emergency room and my back pain increasing. I refused to leave without knowing that the baby growing inside of me was ok. You see 3 weeks early I realized I was once again going to have a life growing inside of me. It seems odd to think I didn't realize it sooner. Having done this 5 times before. But between work and thinking I had the flu like the kids I just kept going. But I have never with any of the kids felt this type of back pain and something told me it wasn't right.

So the emergency room nurse first tried to get a heart beat and got nothing, so an ultrasound was order.

Dewayne was asked to wait and I was taken a few floors up for the ultrasound.

A very young lady started my ultrasound only to quick leave and return with another young lady. After several minutes they again excused themselves and returned with an older lady, this time the first young lady drying the tears from her eyes. As a mother of 5 of course I knew something was wrong, so I listened. I could hear, baby A and baby B, no heart rate confirmed. By then I was scared and upset. I said you both are making me very nervous. The older lady asked me, have you ever been pregnant with twins? I said No! She said well honey you are now but something is wrong with one of them, well DUH!

She asked if anyone was with me and I explained yes my hubby was asked to wait down stairs. She said we’d get you back then as quickly as possible.

I don't think I have ever been so confused in my life, how could I loss one and one be fine?

The dr explained what he could and asked if he could call my obgyn. Thankfully they were able to see me right away. Dr M quickly did another ultrasound and explained the differences and showed me my lost little one.

Its taken me weeks to realize that God had other plans and that I need to make sure this little one inside of me is healthy and to move on. Thankful I have such a great support system its made things easier.



The good news is so far the suriving twin is doing well and on April 27th we'll know the sex of this little one.
