The Week Is Flying By

This week seems to be flying by! Over the past couple of days, I've felt better and better, and I haven't even taken a nap in 2 days! It feels good to be fully back at work. It's a great way to pass the time in bed. I'm really fortunate to be able to work from home, and in my condition.

I have been eating so good this week. Josh's mom is staying with us for awhile to help us out with the cooking and cleaning. She has been making me fresh, healthy meals throughout the day. We are lucky to have the help! My doggies even get to come home temporally, since she is here. Seven has been home for a couple of days already, and my puppy Romie is coming tomorrow. I can't wait to see her. She truly brings joy to my life! She's a little stinker (literally), but I love her.

A BIG CONGRATULATIONS to The Osikowicz Family on the birth of their daughter ~ Leah!!! Leah was born on 2/11/09 weighing 8lbs. 2oz. and 21" long! Mom, Dad, and baby are all doing great!

Just My Story...

Over the past three years my life has been flipped upside down. I am 31 years old and have 4 beautiful angel babies, who are fondly known as my “Green Beans”. The first of my quads, Heidi, held on as long as she could and was born on January 31, 2009 after pPROMing at 17 weeks. A few weeks later, I pPROM’d with my sweet Lily. Lily, Paige, and Rylan were all born at 22 weeks on February 23, 2009. Just after being released from the hospital empty handed, I returned with a high fever and infection. Two of the nights I spent in the hospital that week, I honestly thought I was going to die. It was the sickest and most hopeless I’ve ever been. I’m pretty sure my diagnosis was a broken heart.

My journey to parenthood has definitely had its share of happiness and heartbreaks. I got through every day by staying close to friends and family, blogging, and trusting in God that my future will be bright. All the love and support I’ve gotten has greatly helped me manage……I am alive and well, and want to be my absolute best as a result of this.

On May 1st 2011, we welcomed our sweet baby girl, Taylor, into this world. She is my miracle baby and brings so much joy and happiness to my life. She is my reminder every day that God is good and faithful.

I have come out of all of this with a better appreciation of life. I hope to make the best of this situation by helping others who will experience a similar loss.
