Excuses..

Posted on March 5, 2012 by Queenie

You may have noticed.. but I've not been blogging much lately. I have some good excuses…

I spent most of last week at a HUGE sale… which means I was gone from home for several days.. (no blogging) When I was home my children kind of demanded I pay attention to them.
When I wasn't paying attention to my children, I was fixing photos that #1 took, and trying to write as much stuff up as I could to list it.
Dinner.. those people ALL want to eat!
I moved all my data from one computer to a "new to me" computer. (no pictures)
I couldn't find my cord for my camera.
I was exhausted because I waited in long lines at the crack of dawn to get into the "big sale"

Those are good one's right? If not please accept my photo of #6 with a pudding mustache as an apology. 😉

One Year Ago….

Posted on February 22, 2012 by Queenie

One year ago today The Man and I came home with #6. His birth was not like any of our other kids. He was 8 weeks early and weighed a little over 4lbs. If you've never had a child in the NICU, you probably don't realize you have to be "tested" to see if you know how to take care of your baby before you bring it home. I wrote about that HERE.

The day they cut this band.. I wanted to cry.. I wanted to scream and do a jig. (I didn't because I thought they'd keep me there if I did.)

Here's #4 and #6 the day he came home.

You should know that #4 isn't bank robber, he just had a cold that day.

Here they are today..

He was 4lbs 3 ounces and 16" long when he was born. He's 22lbs and 31" long one year later. He went from wearing preemie clothes to wearing 18 month clothes. How blessed are we?
