The Meaning of Life

I can't say that I don't struggle being a mom. Some days are just plain hard. Especially when the world convinces you that you're of more worth if your out there climbing ladders and making $$. However....

When i walk into my living room and see my beautiful babe lying fast asleep on the couch, I can't help but feel as though I've climbed mountains with and for the three beautiful children I have. My sacrifice has been made in putting aside the $$ and keeping my children safe at my side. Not having to drop them off every morning and leave them with people in the business of raising kids...that is taller than any ladder I can climb and worth more than any amount of money.

Children are the meaning of life. They are what I do and who I am...I truly love my babes. I am blessed to have each of them entrusted to me, what a wonderful responsibility!

3 days to go!

My dear Christian will come into this world the morning of July 12th. He will be delivered at 38 weeks 3 days gestation. We are so excited to meet him! The end of this pregnancy has definitely lengthened the journey. We have had to have monitoring done weekly due to high amniotic fluid and some high blood pressure readings. Plus we've seen the obstetrician weekly. Most of these appointments completely wear me out. We usually sit for 2 hrs during the monitoring because my little boy will not move on command. However, at our last appointment yesterday his daddy thought it would be wise if he listened to a little Mozart during the monitoring. Daddy has played Mozart for each pregnancy and guess what?! It worked! This little boy danced and moved and twisted and kicked! We were outta there in record time!
Although all health concerns have been cleared to this point, i was told that we would most likely be in for a nicu stay. They say they want to monitor him to make sure all is okay. Im tired of all the medical run around and am not thrilled at all to deal with a hectic nicu experience compared to the peaceful bonding I've experienced with my girls. However, I'll do what needs to be done for my boy. Then hopefully, if all is well we can go home and be left alone.
I'm thrilled to meet my little boy and to get a glimpse of all that he will teach me!
