Getting ready for Santa and a little bit about Haleigh's Birth Story

Well time is getting closer for Santa Clause to make is trip around the world and I can't wait to see Brandon's face Christmas morning. I know that he will be very excited to see what Santa has brought for him and for Haleigh has wellm, they both have been very good this year. It is hard to believe that my Haleigh-bug is two months shy of turning one. I found myself yesterday thinking about the night that I was in Labor and I didn't even know it. The contractions were not bad at all but they were coming every three minutes, I was in denial b/c I had a drs. appt. earlier in the day and there was no sign of anything happening anytime soon. She made her arrival at 12:53 A.M. on Feburary 13th. she was three weeks early. She weighed in at 6 pounds 15.9 ounces and she was 19 inches long. I still wonder what she would of weighed if I had carried her to the 39 week mark, that was when my c-section was scheduled for. But I quess that she could not wait to see all of her family and friends. Haleigh knew that I needed her with just losing my mom a little over a month before I have another story to share about one night when I was still in the hosptial but I will do that at a another time.

nineteen day's

until Santa arrives and Iam having mixed feeling's. Iam missing my momma terribly and yet at the same time Iam happy for her since she will be spending her Christmas with Jesus in Heaven. I need to be happy for Brandon and Haleigh and I feel deep in my heart that we are going to have a wonderful Christmas/

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone

Iam thankful for my friends and my family, and my hubby and my two beautiful children, My momma is spending her first Thanksgiving in heaven and I hope that she has a wonderful feast of all of the finest foods in the world.

Haleigh

is talking I was walking across the living room and she was saying ma-ma, ma-ma I love hearing those words it just melts my heart. She has been talking for the past few weeks but I was not 100% sure because it would be just here or there that she would say something. She say's da-da and ba-ba but mostly ma-ma and I think that she say's that more because she see's me the most and I provide most of her care. But if she is going to be anything like Brandon that ma-ma stage won't last long and I will be hearing da-da all the time.

my son

This afternoon Brandon puts on my shoes and to my surprise he got them on the right feet and he turns to me and Micah and says I'm going work bye-bye. I thought that it was cute that he has picked up on that every time Micah leaves the house he is going to work. Brandon's imagination has really taken off here lately and I love watching Brandon play with his toy's and he loves to sit and color in a coloring book even though all he does is scribble and he is playing with Haleigh alot more often as well.

My Grandmom

well as some of you know she had a stoke earlier on in the week well she had another one Friday night and she is back at PRMC and she also is sick so once she is better she is going back to the rehab facility. After she recovers she is going ot be moving back to Balitmore wiht my Aunt Georgie and my Uncle John. Dad is doing well with all of this. Things are going good with the construction at Kim and Keith's house and we should be able to start moving more things in Dad's house as the week goes on and completly be settled in by November 14th. Iam going to put up my Christmas decorations right away. I can't wait for Christmas this year it is going to be a fun one with the kid's and Iam hoping that we get at least one good snow storm.

Today I went to wally world looking for costumes for next year but I did not have any luck at all. But while I was walking around I noticed that they were already playing Christmas music and that the Christmas merchandise was already being put out on the shelves. I think that we as consumers need a break in between the Holidays it seems like that retailers are always wanting to rush from one Holiday to the next one. I remember when I worked in the cash office over night way back when it was Christmas night and when I went to lunch on the wal-mart radio Christmas music was playing and when I returned from lunch it was back to the regular wal-mart radio. I love Christmas it is my favorite time of the year but it seems like everyone is in such a hurry for it to get here and when it is over they are in a hurry to get back to every daylife. But one thing that I can't wait for is to see the look of excitement on Brandon's face this year when the Christmas Tree goes up and the look on his face Christmas morning.
