Little sleep because of....

our latest addition, Damien.  He was born on March 3, 2011 at 7:12 am.  He was 9lbs 10ozs and 21 1/2 inches long.  He is such a beautiful little man!  His brothers and sister are so happy with our little addition.  I went through a couple of rough nights getting used to him and Corvin still not sleeping all night.  But I was able to make it, I don't know how, but I did.  There are still some jealous moments, but that is to be expected!  My husband, Frankie, has been a real big help and many thanks go to him.  Also to my mother in law she is awesome for coming to help us out, too!  More to come when I am able to get more sleep and everything in order and get comfortable, as in used to five!!!

Sore ribs and contractions...

Can't believe that I am still sick, had to go to the hospital to see what is really going on.  So i am assuming that the antibiotics they gave will fix it.  It did, but now that the coughing has nearly stopped the ribs on the right have been through hell and now I have pulled a muscle.  Too much pain, I would rather be in labor everyday than deal with this.  So if one thing has stopped something else has to start.  I have had contractions all day yesterday.  They were coming 3-4 times an hour.  I had to tell my husband that if they continued that I would have to call my doc today.  So I will wait and while I am waiting I have to take the boys to their doctor because we have the same nasty sick bug.  Did I mention that it is only 15 deg outside!

Serious coughing, snow day and cloth diapers......

I still have this horrible cough and it has caused me to loose my voice.  So now trying to stop minuscule arguments is becoming stupid, to say the least.  Let them fight it out I am tired and seriously it really isn't worth it.  I have been stuck with my two youngest for almost three weeks can't really go anywhere because I am up all night coughing!  Anyway on to the cloth diaper issues, my husband doesn't understand how I feel like I have failed because our baby kept getting a horrible diaper rash and unfortunately he is one of those children whose skin is just too sensitive for them and can't handle cloth diapers.  Well I have a supply for this one coming and still need to finish making newborn sized cloth diapers!!  I am hoping that this baby coming isn't too big or I will have wasted time, money and supplies making them for him.  But I will have to wait and see.  Today is a snow day so all kids are home today and it just stopped snowing this morning, very beautiful and for those who have never been in the snow before it is very peaceful.  I love to take the trash out when it has snowed because it is so quiet!  I couldn't get that in my house!!  Here are some pictures of the Christmas snow and other randomness...

No Resolution

I really don't make any resolutions because I can not keep it, so I cant be let down in the middle of the year.  I do try to improve things just not making any promises.  Kids were happy to get what they wanted and got to see family yesterday.  I have been in a crafting rut lately, with all of us being sick and just tired as I am now 32 weeks along with number 5.  Very tired and my hips are not too happy that I am having just one more little man.  Went to get my kids in the car this morning and of course again one of the doors were frozen shut.  It had to be the door that the babies carseat is in too!  Also, a toy that Santa brought for Donovan broke, thankfully the lovely people at toys'r'us were very understanding and were able to exchange it for a nice new one.  Now that my two oldest are in school again, I am waiting the impending homework and projects and playdates that they would love to go on!

Finally thought I would start something new...

I am a new stay at home mom to four beautiful children and one more on the way.  I have three boys and one girl and one more boy to add.  It gets crazy sometimes and my husband works a lot, which leaves me totally out numbered.  I try to make the best of things and we have no family around now.  I like to make things.  I sew, knit and crochet.  I am also going to try and make soap.  I will be posting all my adventures in all that I do.  Enjoy!
