And 7 months later....

Immmm back!!!!


I have taken a long break from writing and making a life here in the new city I moved to. Mind you it is nothing like Dallas by any sense! I have enjoyed looking at what possibilities I have now that I didn’t before. Out here the air is cleaner and I feel like my goal of getting rid of all the toxins in my house is going to happen, one change at a time. I feel like I am somewhere now where I can see how it is not to live by someone else’s standards other than my own. I think I have lost touch with the world I had before and look at my life now and smile… I made it!! I got past the hard spots that where holding me down and now with this new freedom I can sit and write and make what I wanted to create and maybe become the person that well, Can be herself


Ok enough of that. It is time for me to get things back to the fun … not so boring details!!!

KP:

I know I left you all off at the birth of my sweet baby boy!! He is now almost 7 months old!!! Can you believe it! I amazed by his growth and abilities, from his weight and height to his sitting up and scooting…  He is just this bubble of happiness and smiles! So far we have not had the terrible breakouts like I did with my 2 year old son. I am blessed to have had such a wonderful birth and now again breastfeeding.. This time more empowered as before!!  I live to see that little boy smile and laugh and when I have a chance I do just that. Make that wonderful smile come back!!

KW: I know we also left off on the progress that my son was making!! He is now 2 ½ years old!! Can you imagine the terrible twos have started again! I first started this blog when he was the cute squishy age of my other little one!! ANYWAYS!! His Eczema has somewhat cleared!!  I am sad that he is still struggling with this all!! I have also got him in speech therapy!! Again I  am going to keep you updated but hey!! Good news is the best news!!

KE:  I am so exited... Sad…  Etc to announce that she will be 5 in a week!!! Can you believe it when I started this blog she was 2!! Can you imagine how I must feel!! I am glad that we are going to enjoy it with the family!!

Me: I MOVED!  I moved to west Texas!! I am a little scared of this town.. I feel like I do not fit in! I am also doing Avon and trying to keep up with my SKYWARN!!  I have been so busy it isn’t even funny!!

New baby madness : i am in love!!

So here i sit in my black shirt.. wait a minute.. what used to be black shirt.. again typing out my thoughts.. It reminded me of when i made this blog!! I was doing the same thing.. It has been crazy with a new little life here.. Though i would say nugget is filling in his spot quite nicely.. So far in his short life he has been back and forth between Abilene and Dallas and then to the hospital with bubi and mommy and has not caught anything. ( thank God)  We have been working on getting the rest of the stuff packed amongst all the stopping and nursing and the constant diaper changes!!! But none the less i am in love!!! From the cute dimples in his cheeks to those bright blue/grey eyes i am in love!!!! I  know i am still warming back up from being gone so long but i think that this is a nice new start


Nugget is 5 weeks old today and well i cannot believe how much he has changed and i have to brag!!!! He is beautiful!! Sissy and bubi love him soooo much too!! I cant imagine him not feeling loved when both of the older siblings constantly kiss and try to pick him up!! Yes try!!!! Bug and lil man are too little still but they think they have super man strength which leaves me carrying poor nugget with me to the potty!! Leaving him alone with those two would result in being dropped or being someway tortured by there constant prodding of his belly or being pulled on... But alas he is a good baby and only protests when he is truly mad!! Again all my kids are my blessings and i love them dearly!!!! I miss writing and i am going to get better!!!

here he is everyone!!

Calling Motherhood has a vlog!!!

Hey ladies and Gents that read my page.. I am starting a vlog... This week will be the introduction and the start of the first topic!!! Hey i got to start somewhere!! I hope yall enjoy!!!

moving madness!!!

I knew i would say this.. I HATE moving... I never imagined moving more than once in a 3 year period.. Mind you now i am more sympathetic to the military families that move almost every year!!! Needless to say i am tired of being on the move and would like to stay somewhere for more than one year so that i can relax and get the feel of the land...

So i guess let me start by saying.. moving with a newborn is not the greatest thing in the world... I would like to have moved while i was pregnant.. but pickers cant be choosers.. Now i look at this as a challenge.. I am enjoying the quite before the storm.. The other two ( my oldest kids) are keeping me busy by running all over town to see the new stuff... I planned on taking them to the Rodeo ...but alas my plans this weekend has made that impossible.... But i will be back in time to take them to the balloon fest!!!! I cant wait to see all those pretty hot air balloons in the sky at sun set..... maybe i can talk one of the people into taking me up!!!!

I have imagined what my house will look like once we get it put together... I do believe though it was made for a family of four max... I have had to shove things back into boxes because well we just cant fit it all!!! I know that we will get there and have it all done some day!!!!!

I guess that is all for now since i am so nerve racked about traveling back to Dallas this weekend to pick up another round of things... I have come to the conclusion .. we cant fit a lot more in here!!!

Kaleb's birth story

After a hard pregnancy the day came,well the morning came that he was born. After having over 15 shots of Hydroxy Progesterone and 32 weeks bed rest he came .. But needless to say here is the story.. i hope you can keep up!!!!!!

OH MY that helps... but it hurts worse.. I go potty and have a contraction and nearly want to pass out.. i feel pressure..
5:30-6:10 am: we are headed out the door... contractions are every 2 mins.. i feel pushy.. i need to go!! we get in the car and drive like mad to get there.. please Lord my God  help me, give me strength for this sweet little boy...... I have a few more as i am getting close to the hospital... we drive into the ER parking area.. Amanda goes in and runs out.. telling me to go to the woman's center... i  think i can make it...
6:15-6:55 am: i have a contraction as i am walking in.. nurses rush in and help Amanda and I... I know that  these are coming close.. its hard for me to walk... they put me in a wheel chair and wheel me back... They get me into triage.. thank God i made it.. I have a contraction in the bathroom.. I get to the bed and i am laying there and letting her hook me up.. then she checks me... I am only WHAT 6cm .. ugh dont tell me that... I feel the urge to push with the next contraction.. She gets me ready to move.. she wheels me into the room.. I am being told don't push.. don't push.. i have to.. She checks me again... i am an 8!!! I have to hold still for my IV and i cant stand laying like this... Next contraction comes and i hear a POP.. I broke my bag.. water feels like it is puddiling everywhere..nurses are trying to break down the bed.. leave me along please... My mom walks in as they are prepping me for birth... they yell for a doctor, mine isnt even there.. by this point i am pushing him down... I feel like he is not moving down.. then again i do... I feel my underside burning... nurses struggle to get the doctor dressed before he crowns and his little head pops out!!! One more push and my sweet boy is born.. I hear him cry!!!


After his birth i get to hold him.. He gets checked over really quick... I cant believe i have such a sweet baby.. I cant believe i did it naturally.. I got the Birth i wanted... though faster and crazier!!! I am complete!!! I get to breastfeed my sweet baby.. I am in love.. I wish Kevin had made it.. He was upset, but when he got in there he looked at his son and smiled !!! He was so worth all the pain!!!

This day and age sickens me!!

I woke up this morning about 4 am to catch the morning news coming on and was shocked on hearing that no one could make up their minds about how to fix a more than a billion dollar deficit we have been setting ourselves into... Oh no wait not the people that work hard, the so called blue collar people who go out daily and work hard, but the higher powers in the country... The U.S. has set up a major problem not only for themselves but everyone in this country..

I am a typical everyday mother of two and i am out of work... Not because i cant find a job, but it is too expensive to pay for daycare... I ride the Bus where i need to go because it is too hard to have two vehicles and pay for insurance... I have to use Government assistance because i cant pay for medical care for my kids and myself .. It is not the most glorious life... Do i love having to ask help, no but i have no choice.. I know that soon all that money put aside for this help will be gone and i will be left like most to try to feed my kids and hope that i can keep them full enough not to starve.. My Fiance works hard with his own business from 12 to 15 hour days just enough to pay for our bills and a few groceries that i may need that my food stamps don't  buy.. We make it by but barely.... I envy those who can go to work, come home, and spend as much money on things that they don't need while hard workers don't seem to get enough. Those people sit in Congress and the White House.

Now ask yourselves this, if you protected our country would you like to get paid? We used to be a military family.. My fiance served 7 years in the US Air Force and received nothing in return except a bill asking us to pay back what we owed... What we owed??  What about time away from our family's? The travel pay? What we had to sacrifice... I only got a taste of it.. but for some people this is their lives..... Men and women away from their kids and wives and husbands and family's torn apart... tell me is this right to take away pay for those who sacrifice so much??


Now it comes down to this... we shut down EVERYTHING... hoping that this will fix the problem.. but i think this is only the start...  As a Christian woman i pray for our law makers and those in power, but i am left shaking my head wondering what these people pray to at night...Do they pray to God... Do they even believe in him... I dont know... But i know this... It is going to be hard and it is going to get harder, unless we find some other way... maybe we waited to late... All that i can do is do what i do best...


Pray.........
