What about the children?

There is so much laughter in our house everyday. Judah thinks he's a comedian which is hilarious but also means lots of scolding because he doesn't know when to stop. He is very independent and bossy which also gets him in trouble! Yesterday morning he woke up at 4:30 and got in our bed and had the nerve to tell me to scoot over. He also likes to debate things he thinks he knows. He has a ninja turtle toy that he insists in a man with a backpack no matter how many times we point out it's a shell. When you ask him to do something he doesn't want to do he'll close his eyes and say "I sleep." I don't know where he gets this smart mouth from, certainly not me. At 2.5 he is working on his conversation skills and is beginning to speak in intelligible paragraphs and not just random sentences. There are times when he tells me an entire story and not one word is in a language known on Earth. He loves his baby sister and always reminds us that he's the big brother. I want to put him in school part time, but it's not in the budget right now. He knows his alphabet and how to count, but will not do it correctly if you ask him to. When I ask him to count to 5 I normally get "1, 2, 8, 13, 92" or something equally ridiculous. I
 

My sweet baby girl likes to smile and coo at us. She's much more vocal and expressive than Judah was at that age. MrC is in awe every single day. She is a great sleeper at night thank the Lord!  She was born on MrC's deceased brothers birthday and I think he hand picked her in heaven to send to us. I feel like a very blessed momma!

I'm back!


> I am ready to start this blogging thing again. Now that I'm working full time again, I actually have time during my day to sit at a computer and type. So heyyyy y'all, I'm back!

> So much has happened since I last blogged. Last October when I was almost 6 months pregnant, I lost the baby. I turned around and got pregnant again the very next month. I'm pretty sure I get pregnant just from kissing, so I need to lay off on that. I had a sweet baby girl on August 27 of this year. I'll post pictures tomorrow. Just know that Alaia is the sweetest most beautiful baby in all the world! I may be a little biased though.

They are in a 6 year program that grants them a certificate. My class has 4 students. The 2 girls are sweet, and the 2 boys are determined to end up in jail. This is my fourth week on the job, expect many blogs on them!

Oops!

Aniya Joi

When I went to my ultrasound appointment to find out the sex of the baby at the beginning of October, the doctors noticed something wrong. There was fluid collecting around the baby's brain, lungs, and stomach. The doctor said that was a sign that the body was shutting down and the outcome of my pregnancy didn't look good. I was at the appointment by myself and I completely lost it. After talking to my ma and MrC I calmed down and we decided to continue on with the pregnancy and get weekly ultrasounds to monitor the baby's progress. We were praying and hoping for a miracle. Unfortunately, at the end of October during my ultrasound we discovered the baby didn't make it. Of course we wanted a different outcome, but we know that God is in control and everything will be alright. I went to the hospital that night to get induced and I had Aniya the next morning. Thanks to everybody that prayed with us and for us while we were going through our situation. When I get to heaven (at least 60 years from now) I'll get to see my sweet baby girl again!
