Well I have tried many times to update & bog. Life has gotten in the way. & running after a second little one at home.
I am just going to try to write a wee bit everyday to see if I can get back in the grove.
There is a lot to catch up on but I will have to do a little at a time. Lets start with Ms. G! She is in seventh grade and is doing well. She is in the gifted program this year and is loving it. She got straight A's last year. This year is going to be a bit tough to get that honor. But she is working extra hard!
Mr. A is in fifth grade and is the honor class. He too got into the gifted program. He is not working so hard this year but hopefully we can get that going! He is having a hard time with his ADHD and depression. He is in a bad place right now. I can not figure out what sent him along this way.
Lil AL is doing good. He is almost 4. He is starting to really read. He is loving Thomas and Dinosaur Train. He has also started in Taekwondo. He is loving it!
Baby L is almost 2. She is starting to potty train. I however don't understand how if I call it a dog she calls it a doggy. I call it a horse she calls it a horsey. I call it a potty she calls it a pot. She is her own girl!
I will have to post pictures soon.

6 Weeks Ago...
Baby L was born 6 weeks ago. She did arrive before I turned 36. She was born December 1, 2009. We got to celebrate my birthday together. She was 8lbs 6oz. She was 19 1/2 inches long.
She was a surprise because I was not in labor when I went into the hospital. I went in because I had been having off and on extreme pain on my lower right side all day Monday. The on-call doctor was afraid I was having an appendicitis. Turns out, I wasn't. They still have no idea why I was in so much pain, One thing for sure was I was not in labor. They kept me over night for observation and to give me pain medication that made sleeping rough and gave me a migraine. I felt as if I were tripping. The room seemed to be moving and the bed was unstable.
My doctor, Dr. Weatherford, came in the next morning and broke my water. She was going to induce me on Thursday anyway. She knew I would go fast but the stupid nurse did not realize that I was going to be giving birth before lunch. She walked out several times and just did not want to check me to see how I was moving along. She even turned up the heat and turned off the lights so that I could get some sleep. She tried to get Sean to leave and get something to eat. I threaten to kill Sean if he left. We tried to tell her that I was a fast laborer. She would not listen to us, most people are not that fast and nothing was in my records b/c the incompetent idiots at the other office never sent all my records over. The nurse was not paying attention to any of the signs. As a matter of fact, when I told her I felt like pushing she just blew me off. If it were not for my hubby insisting that she check me the nurse would never have know I was fully dilated and ready for pushing. Then the nurse left the room for 15 minutes. I was screaming the whole time," I am trying not to push!" And I tried to fight my body. It worked for the most part. When the nurse came back in I was pissed and more than ready to push. Then she called for Dr. Weatherford. The stupid nurse left when I was 10cm and never called the doc?! Thank goodness Dr. Weatherford came right away. She was just in time to catch! The whole thing took less than 3 hours. Baby L was born at 12:18pm delivered by Dr. Weatherford! I was so happy Dr. W delivered baby L.
The kids never got to come to the hospital to see their adorable new baby sister. The big kids did get to see her for about 5 minutes. L&D is on the ground floor and before they could whisk away my new daughter we opened the windows and showed her off. Those poor bushes outside my window will never be the same. The rest of the stay was mundane. We got to go home with no problems.

Ready! Set! Wait!
Thanksgiving went well. We did everything here. Sean's dad and his girlfriend came over. We had so much food. Although, it did not take much time to do the actual cooking. I am very surprise the food all got done round the right time and we got to eat it at the same time. Rather than little here and 20 minuets later another little something. My hubby did a great job. We are definitely going to write down the times recipes and everything together to do it again. We ended up with turkey, stuffing, mash potatoes, sweet potatoes, gravy, fruit salad, fresh cranberries, green beans, bread, and 2 pies. Wow! It was good!
On the baby front, we are ready and waiting. not much more to do. I think I am still very upset that the doc stopping my labor last week. Because even though, I was full term it was still too early. My body was ready and so was I. Well, my birthday is this week. And I really wanted to have her before I was 36. I had told my hubby that after 36 I was not going to have anymore babies. I was done. Well, when we stopped God had another idea. SO now she will come after I am 36. Just because... best laid plans of mice and men...
We went to the Lewis Genter Light thingy yesterday. Mr. A had art work on display, so we got in free. We go every year. It is so nice to walk around and watch the kids run in the mazes and looking in awe at the lights. It was neat too to watch Mr. A tell us all about the plants he learned about on a field trip there at the end of the year last year. I will post pictures later. They did not come out to well. I will have to wait to see what I can fix and what Sean can do with them. to make them look good.
I will let you know when the little miss makes her entrance. Until then, keeping sending me those vibes that my water had broken and maybe it will.
