None of you knew because I didn’t put it here. But we have been on baby watch for one of the young girls that helped us all last summer with the kids… she stayed here with us and was a wonderful help.

It has been her turn to learn about mother hood and the hardships of getting to that point. Last night the call came in at 1800…. Momma Dfly ….. her water just broke…

Okay head over to the hospital so that they can get you started on your pit and get snuggled in. I need to get the kids in bed and get hubby situated and than I will be there.

You know how slow it is in the beginning… By the time I got there at about 2000 she was just getting the pit started. It was slow… it was rough a first time mom… that baby had a lot of work to do.

So we sat and tried to find the right position. ( her back was all that would work). As she got further along …. she was shaky… why is it like that Dfly….? it is all part of it. Baby is doing the work for you.. hang tough….

we went from the slow breath to the hee hee poohs…. we went to pant… we let her pick the pace…. we made her stick with me on the pace…. Sitting on the other side is so hard to do. When you are the one doing it… you are able to find another place. Welcome it to you and ride he waves of the contractions… for me with ease…. for her … it is scary… all new.. and hard… the waves were out of this world with pain for her….

Yet with a little tiny bit of pain med help… she was able to have a baby vaginally with NO complications… her and this sweet little guy are resting comfortably…

I tell you it is different being on the helpless side of things. What an amazing site. I have never seen it from this side….. thank you to these two young parents for letting me be part of one of the most amazing moments in your life. Mom thank you for everything you have ever done. Especially being there for the birth of everyone of my babies. I don’t know if I could have done it without you….. thank you

So we are all hanging…. and watching children in the family grow. Last night was a wonderful night. Mom mentioned that we have a new wall…. see the baby has a fowl mouth and the older ones are doing a lot of talk back. So our wall has mouths. Ten for each of us… so 60 to be exact. At the end of the week. We tally up how many we have a we get to buy things out of the mouth box…..

here is how it went…..

Girlie had 9 of her 10 left…. so she got.. 5 min per mouth certificate…. for TV time her choice no one could interrupt her time. Than for the num. Of mouths…. she spent 1 on a coloring page, 2 on a pack of individual pringles, 3 on a half soda and 3 on pieces of chocolate. So she was a happy girl when the homemade pizza was done and the movie started.

#3 boy went next… he only had 2 mouths. And try as he might he didn’t get to pick out more than the chips OR two candy. He chose the chips and ran off happy to eat them. With a certificate for 10 min. of cuddle time with mom and dad. He got that last night.

#2 boy… he had 9 mouths. He used 3 for the soda and he used 1 for a candy.. chose to save the rest. Than he got 45 min. of uninterrupted computer time. He used that last night as well…. and loved his new math game that is on the computer.

#1 boy. I am so proud of him. He has had a perfect year so far. He mentioned that he wished he had a diary… I am never one to take that away… so I got him one and he has been writing in it everyday. Something that means a lot to him. I am proud. So the mouths… he had 6… he did well really he did. He decided to spend it all … he took a 3 soda and a 2 chip and a 1 candy… than he was given a certificate. To stay up after all the other kids had gone to bed and get 30 min. of alone time on the computer to be shared with me sitting with him talking. We had a wonderful time. He used that last night. It was nice. Just quiet and nice. I am so proud to be that ones momma.

Now here is the kicker. Today he was to go to moms…. She showed up early and I told him to get his stuff ready so that he could head out. Hurry up babe…. he comes out and rounds the corner… already apologizing and he told me I want you to find out because I am being honest… at least I am honest. Rather than finding out on your own. Sooooo I need you to take a mouth because I called her a bitch. Well than… what do you say to that… I stroked his face. And kept the laughing shock out of my eyes. Put ice cream in them and told him. I am sad that I have to take that one off the wall. But I am SO HAPPY and I am SO PROUD that you are an honest man and that you came to me with that…. How lucky am I…..? the luckiest mom in the world. That is how lucky!

So we are moving right along and Hubby is hanging int here. He is tired. But he is getting there slowly but surely.

A good friend of our has gotten home and she is struggling. She will be doing Chemo for 6 months. They will be doing an everyday deal and they will have a once a week infusion. It is supposed to be easier than what Hubby is going through but I think that it will be harder. It gangs up on them slowly but surely and we will be thinking of you both everyday.

They have promised they will call when they need something. I will be helping with her shots and a few other things. Now that I have it down to a gnats ass…. I am there for them. She had to have a full mastectomy and she had to have two layers of nodes removed. But it didn’t get into her chest wall. That is a wonderful plus. She will have it hard but we are there for them both. Keep them in your prayers….

and to you two… WELCOME HOME. we missed you like crazy. Thank you for the complements. And don t worry. You have SO MANY prayers coming your way… and the people here on this crazy web. They pray like you wouldn’t believe. I think I will go get you a mandala from Lo** it is a great help I know it is. All her healing into one painting, for you. Gonna have to look into that. Love you ….
