    • About Me

      I am a Christian woman who believes I am the clay being gently molded by my Heavenly Father everyday. I am married with children. My hubby and I have been together 12 years- he means the world to me. Together we have two boys ages 5 1/2 & 11. I love motherhood and my boys amaze me everyday.

      I love spending time with my family, it doesn't matter if we are enjoying a day at the soccer field watching one of my boys play, browsing through a store, or home doing chores... when we are together I am happy. I am a teacher, can't imagine doing anything else with my life. I hope to one day have my own classroom. Books and art are a passion of mine... mostly children's books. one day I hope to be organized enough to write and illustrate a few of my own. I take tons of pictures and hope to create memory books for my children.

      Thank you for the kind words. I am told that the appointments get shorter and shorter as time goes on. I just expected more, and maybe this was my fault since this is my first child. It just felt so good to cry last night, and now even happier today that I feel better!! Again Thanks :)

    • Close Miscarriage

      After 1year of trying I was pregnant with my 3rd baby. I already had two boys ages 10 & 5 who were concieved on the first try. Three days before thanksgiving and my 11 week mark I started spotting. After no heartbeat was detected I left the ER with the tiniest bit of hope and lots of prayers, but the following day the bleeding and terrible cramps started. Later that day, I saw my baby pass. My heart broke. 8wks later I was surprised to find I was pregnant again- but that pregnancy was lost also.

    • Close Parenting 'Tweens (9-12)

      my oldest is going to be 11 in January. He is a great kid, does well in school, doesn't get into too much trouble there, the teachers all have wonderful things to say about him, he makes me proud. However, he and his dad butt heads A LOT and I struggle with the way he deals with his younger brother. My son and I have a pretty good relationship and can talk about all the complicated stuff, but there is room for improvement.

    • Open Parenting Big Kids (5-8)

      My youngest of two children is 5 1/2 yrs. He is loving kindergarten this year. He's an amazing child- he thinks about things that are very intellectual. He creates, fixes, builds. He has a ton of energy & is always going. He is a very caring, loving little boy but has a meanstreak when he is mad or frustrated. He is my "baby". The connection between him and me is different from that of my older son. He can be a brat though, that is for sure!

      Treatments

      Education (School) Working / Worked
      School gives him a place to play and luckily he has a teacher that sees he needs challenge.
      Listening Somewhat Helpful
      This is a kid who understands his feelings. He needs a lot of validation, some times it just doesn't do the trick when he is in a mood.
      Patience Somewhat Helpful
      Our life is pretty busy, but when I slow down to be patient I see we have less frustration and more accomplished- even when he has to do it himself.
    • Open Pregnancy After Loss/Infertility

      I am not sure how long I can stay in this group. My miscarriage was Nov. 25, it ends up we concieved again on Dec. 14th, and i just found this out on Jan. 16th, after waiting 7 1/2 wks for that first period to come. I am full of fear... but praying for a healthy pregnancy & baby.

    • Open Pregnancy

      I am pregnant! I have already been blessed with two boys and this baby is due in early April. My kids will be 12, 7, and newborn! I am currently 12wks and excited to have made it this far- m/c last Nov. & blighted ovum in Jan. I am looking forward to what God has planned with this pregnancy, even though I hold my angel baby in my heart forever.
