Why I haven't posted in a while.... :)

So, again, It has been a good while since my last post! SO much has happened in the last few months! My oldest son turned NINE! Where did the years go?! Seems like we just brought him home! He is such a big boy now... he got a Red Ryder BB gun for his birthday, (Just like Ralphie's!) and you would have thought we gave him the moon! He just started third grade and is doing so well! He's had a little trouble getting use to the homework load, but it amazes me how much he's learned and just how smart he is! He's so creative and imaginative, he's such a blessing to me!

So, on to the second reason I haven't posted in a bit - Baby Micah was born on August 11!! He weighed 7 lbs and was 19 inches long. I had such a hard pregnancy with him, the last couple of months were really rough. I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes, and polyhydramnios, which is an excess amount of amniotic fluid. It can cause particularly strong braxton-hicks contractions, and it's pretty much the most uncomfortable I have ever been! But as always, it was so worth it! He is the most precious little baby - so sweet and cuddly! He looks so much like Bailey did when he was born! It's been fun having another newborn in the house! The girls are just crazy over him, he is going to be a VERY loved little boy! Seeing as how this is probably our last one, I am trying to enjoy every waking minute with him!

Psalm 127 King James Version 1Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. 2It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep. 3Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. 4As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. 5Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
