Family Wall

So this is my latest project. And I wanted to show you it up before I take it down and pack it away for awhile. I have been thinking about this for about 1 yr. I drew it up and then just stuffed it into one of my many idea notebooks. And then just keeped an eye out for thing cheap. Yes people I am cheap and didn't want to spend an arm and two legs on this. So I was thinking cheap. So I ended up at Hobby Lobby and found the frame the large one for only 6 dollars. And the others here and there.. IKEA, Target and garage sales. So after having the large frame for almost 3 months and being stuck here at home I figured I could sit and paint everything one color as some of the frames where really bad. So for about 25 bucks. And alittle work. What do you think????

Only saying

That this week has been a tough one....


*First Robert left for Waco for the week

* after forgetting Riley had snack Tuesday I loaded all the kids into the car to head to HEB and ended up on the side of the road for 1 1/2 hours with a flat tire.

* the very next morning running behind had alot to get done. Ran outside in my pj's to take Riley with the boys got them all loaded and went to turn on the car and it was dead.... had to run down a neighbor who was nice enough to take her.

* Go to the Dr and get poked oh 4 times told ok your done and head out. Get my kids into the car to only find it is dead once again and a nurse running after me telling me that she needed more blood.

* got a new tire

* and a new battery

* went back and got poked another 3 time (I have spaghetti for veins)

And made it home just in time for the school bus. It can only go up from here right???

WE ARE .................................................

Moving!!!


I guess I shouldn't be surprised we are not the kind atleast since we have been married to stick to one place for to long. So we are off on our next adventure. Robert took a sortof new job up in Waco Texas and to be able to actually see us more then once a week we have decided to go with him. He has to be up there May 5th so I will be packing and packing. And hoping that we can get our house rented. And find a good rental house in Waco or the surrounding area.

Had to get it off my chest

This post is for myself and not to make anyone feel bad.... This probably wont make much since sorry no proper anything sorry.. WARNING T.. M.. I.. ahead.



Wednesday March 25Th we found out we were expecting number 4. I didn't quite know how to feel about it. We didn't tell many people. And still probably wouldn't say anything but I just can't wrap my brain around what is going on . And Knowledge is power...

My heart wasn't fully into being pregnant right now. Yes babies are great and adding to our family is always exciting. But I was just trying to get everything from everyone else in our family and myselfs stuff put back together. But I was warming up to the idea I could still work out through the pregnancy and not be put behind by it.

April 9Th was my first OB appointment I couldn't shack this very nervous feeling. Robert was with me and very excited. The nurse came in and did all the vitals and confirmed that yes we were indeed pregnant. Then the nurse practitioner came in and did all the examines. Everything looked OK until she did the breast examine she said oh you have a couple lumps we will be keeping a close eye on as they could be normal or could be something abnormal.

Then the ultrasound tech came in and did that. At first we all thought it was twins but then she started looking more and more closely. Then called the doctor in to talk to us. So hello we have now seen I think everyone in the office right. So he comes in and goes OK there are two things. First is that you have a cyst on your right ovary and that could or could not mean that you just ovulated on that side. But we will have to watch it. Then he goes now about the twin thing it isn't twins it is one and a blood clot in your uterus now here is what could happen the baby could outgrow the blood clot and make the body just absorb it or the body can chose to eliminate the whole pregnancy to get the clot out. We were shocked. And still really have no answers to why or how a clot forms. But I have been put on limited activity and also on a hormone to help. We are hoping and praying that in two weeks when we go back that the baby has grown and not the blood clot.

So right now the whole house is dealing with a emotional roller coaster for a mom. We know that whatever is supposed to happen will.

Thanks for reading and sorry it isn't something fun and exciting.
