It's been a while since I've written on my blog due to some busy times. But I plan on getting back into the swing of things. This blog is about something that recently happened to us a couple weeks ago. Most of you that are friends and family have been following on Facebook and know what im talking about..
It has to do with my baby boy getting really sick with RSV that turned into pneumonia and influenza. He was air lifted to a children's hospital 2 hrs from where we live. To be better treated and to be intabated. This was the scariest thing I have ever had to go through. A time where I felt so helpless as a mommy and a time where I totally needed to trust in God's promises and pray without ceasing. Never have I EVER prayed the way I did. And never did I ever feel as desperate for a miracle. It was so hard to Trust completely, I will admit. Especially when my mind wandered thinking the worst about the situation, and when I physically saw my itte helpless baby boy sedated with tubes coming out of every where. My heart was crushed into pieces. Many friends and family were praying for us and sending s encouraging words. But sometimes it was hard to receive as a mom because I would let my worry and anxiousness consume my every thought. I was having a constant battle in my head.. Fighting the enemy with these thoughts. My heart new better. You see God is a very important part of my life , I stand on his many promises and he has come through for me in my times of despair many times. His blessings are very evident in my life. Including this little baby he has given to me, this baby who he loves even more than I do! If that's possible... ( and it is)
After a week of hospitilazation he came off the sedation and ventilator and he was breathing on his own! God once again came through for me.. And he made it through.
All of this has shown me to be thankful for everything and to value what's important in life.. For me it's Life itself. He has also increased my faith beyond measure. He is so almighty I'm so blessed to be loved by him and from here on out.. When I feel like I'm having a not so good day.. I think this is the day the lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it!

New mommy of 2
It's definitely been an adjustment but it hasn't been hard at all and I'm enjoying having two. I honestly had no idea I would enjoy having a bay boy as much as I do, he is such a charmer (just like his daddy) he just has this way with me that Elle didn't even have lol. My days are taking a bit longer to get started but not too bad. I am woken up every morning with a cold hand stroking my hair and face and a little voice trying to whisper, only it's not a whisper at all, Saying "Mommy turn my toonies on and give me chocolate milk"....repeatedly every 5 seconds until I open my eyes and lift my head off my pillow, followed by a crying baby raptor who's in need of a diaper change and mommy's milk! Whew. I get to my living room tired, but am very anxious to take that first sip of coffee. All to say that I get to cuddle with them on the couch lounge around in our jammies. I would never trade my lifestyle. I mean becoming a mom definitely took the Glam out of my life (for the most part). I use to be the girl in platforms and makeup and hair done on a daily basis. But that has all changed. I do still fix myself up because the girly girl never died inside of me...but minus the heels and lots of ponytail days...lol. I still feel the need to get myself looking decent, especially for my husband...I mean he did fall in love with the glam girl lol. Although he says he loves me being a mommy more than anything else! My days are hectic..but weeks go by fast, as well as months and years and before you know it they are 3 years old :-( so I try my best to savor all these little special moments in our jammies around the house. When Elle tells me on a daily basis that I'm her Best friend. While they are still completely content with hanging out with their mommy.
