Court day

Well court went well so far... the Dad did not show up and so his rights were Terminated. But he has 30 days to appeal it if he wants to and he says he dose but who knows We think he is just talk. but they set us a court date for Adoption review hearing meaning they will make sure we have all our paper work done and home study and we would beable to adopt in May or June for good.... Please pray for us... Our hearts desire is to adopt these wonderful little girls and try to give them a normal life in a house with lots of children , hugs, kisses and crying and giggiling and what ever else may come... Sounds normal right... LOL

thanks to every one who prays for us.

The Waiting Game....

Ok so its 10:30 and my appointment is at 3pm and we are just doing the next thing but the wait is driving me crazy... I hope so much that the baby has turned.. the kids are great today just playing and making me smile as always. I will be updating everyone tonight on the blog so check in to see if you do not get a call. It is hard for me to be on the phone with the children running around.. Gets a little loud here kinda like trying to talk on your cell phone at a concert.... LOL a sweet sound it is though. Well its time for me to go make lunch which is tuna sandwiches the kids love them... but when cooking for 7 it take some time.

4 cans of tuna
1/2 pound cheese
pickels
mayo
1 loaf of bread
whole can of juice...

and this is just lunch......

Dinner is far more involved. but its fun like running my own resturant.

Have a great day.

Turn Baby Turn.....................

Well wow here I am 37 weeks and just found out today that the baby is breech..... So I need you guys to pray that this baby will turn..... I do not want to have a C section at all... matter of fact I will almost completely refuse...... Those of you who know my history with pain medicine is that there is nothing strong enough so far that works..... So the thought of them ripping me open just is not an option..... But with all that said the Midwifes are more then wiling to deliver a breech baby they said obviously there are your normal risks but that I am a good candidate for home breech birth delivery... But if something seems wrong then of course since im not already at the hospital then when we get there no questions asked they would send me back for one.... I do not like those 50/50 chance like this at all... seems to risky for me. But my other option is once I go into labor I can go to saint anthony and call my midwife and have my baby with here there with no bells or whistles hooked up to me....They will leave me alone..lol And Dr. Ryan would be willing if the baby got stuck per say {which is what could happen is the babys body can come through before I completely dialate and then say I was only a 7 and the baby's head gets stuck He is willing to use forceps to get the baby out and I will not have to worry about a c section... And of course I if there was a problem i would not have to be transported since im already there. Provided that is there is no cord in the way. I would not have to have a section. With the baby turning like this we will have to get an ultra sound to make sure the cord is not wrapped around anything so just pray for us.... We want little John to turn head down and have a normal home birth... Thanks for your prayers.

Kids are fun.....

Well 37 weeks tommarrow and court is next week and a baby could come anytime in-between there...lol So the count down continues and the kids are just having a great time waiting with mom... lol Sure they are. This week Ty and Nikki thought it would be fun to swing Joseph by his ankles and wrists.... I walk past the living room and look over and Ty has one end and Nikki has the other and I just about choke and couldn't yell stop fast enough... As of course they were standing in front of the Cast Iron stove..... But all the time joseph is laughing so hard he cant hardly make a sound.... glad he had a great time but that will be the only time...... I hope. We are doing Great and John is so busy at the shop. PRAISE THE LORD... So of course he tells me this is not a good week to have the baby... lol I dont mind if we do... lol Im not busy at all. LOL

Lucy Goosey....

We are having a great time.... Potty trining.... if this at all could be fun but I am so proud of her ... and thankful that she is potty training easy... even waking up dry often after all night....

So now that you know the important things in my life .. lol highlights of a mom's week.

I am going to the Midwife today and after next week I can deliver at home any time safely.. Yipeeeeeeee..... Trust me I am ready... Nikki calls my belly a bolder.... LOL im not sure if that is funny or sad.

Have a great week

Silly Boy

My Silly boy... He is growing so big every day and he split his chin open yesterday and that was his first real cut or ochie besides always banging his head...

Well 36 weeks tomarrow and I will start going to the midwife once a week.. and I am all ready I think to be down for a whole week......(if this really happens) I cant sit still for 10 min much less lay on the couch for 1 week. But we shall see what happens . Of course having the baby at home is so much easier then being gone for 3 days... not many volenteers for 6 children under 5 these days... lol But we are blessed to be able to have them. The birth father is trying his hardest now to get the girls back... LOL so who knows what will happen... The continue to assure us we are fine but I am being cautiously optimistic... I have learned this the hard way. So please pray court will go well on 1*31 and that I would have the baby on time this go round... I am always late seems like so it would be nice to go early.... and again I am being optimistic...LOL

Please pray for my father-in-law John who is not doing well.


thanks
