If you don't like too much information, do not read this post!
Some days are filled with so much drama I can hardly stand it! I am not supposed to drive so I my mother or my husband has to cart me around to get things done. (Actually, today I took Sami to school and made a trip to Wal-Mart!) Tuesday, Jon and Steve had a doctor appointment and Sami was sick with a stomach bug, so my mother graciously took them to the appointment. Prior to them leaving, Jonathan knocked his face on the corner of the stair railing. I told him he needed to calm down! He ended up with a nice bruise on his cheek. Thankfully, he didn't hit his eye. Jon did manage to get a good report from the doctor. Steven, on the other hand, did not. Cue depressing music....apparently, Steven is not getting enough to eat. He lost another ounce in a week. I say depressing music because he is the only one I have been able to breastfeed. Well, I thought I was able to. Please pray for us. Steven is going back for a weight check on June 3rd. Hopefully, he will have gained some weight. I have been feeding him at least every 2 hours for the last 2 days hoping my milk would come in. I assume he must be getting something since he threw up in his car seat today! What a scary situation. I don't want to lose out on something so precious, but I also don't want to deny my son the nurishment he needs. I have committed to breastfeeding until his next appointment and if he has not gained weight, then I will end up going to formula. In the meantime, I will also try pumping to see if I am even producing enough food for the poor child.

I'll be off....
Six years ago, on Mother's Day, I was pregnant with Jonathan. Patiently waiting for the trip to the hospital to induce labor. (I have children that do not want to come out!). I remember receiving a call that my grandma had died. A month ago, I found out that my grandfather, at 93, would be going through chemo for lung cancer. Fear and anxiety rose up to the surface. Here I was pregnant again and someone was ill. I also knew that this would have happened one way or the other. When God wants you to go, you will go. I have not received that call and have tried to talk with my grandpa every week-he is in Florida. Funny, how now I feel things will be okay no matter what happens. I have heard before that with death comes new life. So I go to bring forth new life!
I will see you all on the flip side!

Things children say
I have seen on some of my friends blogs some conversations they have with their children. They are nice and funny. I thought I'd share on with Samantha from last night. Although, she does come up with some funny ones, this was also strange. It just tells ya what's going on in their little heads, but you don't understand why!
I stopped in her room to check on her and of course she is still awake-at 9pm.
"Good night Samantha," I say.
"Good night" she responds, "I love you."
"I love you too," I tell her, "now go to sleep!"
"I love Jesus," she says.
"Well, that's good, because that is what Jesus wants from us." I say.
"And he poops and pees in the potty?" she asks.
Whaaat????!!!!! I am speachless to answer. Many things are going through my head in that instant. So I say,
"I have no idea what Jesus does. Good night!"
Hmmmmm........so innocent!

Getting along!
Nick relaxing with a toy screwdriver!6 days!
Only 6 days until the BIG day! Can't wait. Sorry to have been lax in getting stuff on the blog. Been kinda lazy these days. Right now I should be putting away clothes. I have a ton to put away. But I thought I would take a few moments to let everyone know that things are going well. I can barely move at some points but I keep pressing on. Thankfully, my parents live nearby and Jon or Sami are usually there for a day or two. Today it is Jon's turn.
We celebrated Jon's 6th birthday on Saturday. So hopefully, I will be able to get pictures up soon. He said he had a "great" time!
