Lauren's Blog: our new casa!

our new casa!

In case you haven't already seen Josh's Blog lately - our new house is almost finished!! We went by today and the carpet installation has been started! It looks just about complete now. It's been so fun watching every step of the construction happen. Next, we'll be doing a pre-closing walk through in 2 weeks, then we get the keys the week after! The first week that we officially own the house, we'll be doing some small projects before we move all our stuff in. Josh is going to put in some recessed lighting in the Bonus Room, installing fans and lights, and the painter will be painting away! It's getting so exciting! Oh, and we're pretty sure we found a renter for our current house already, so that is a big relief!

Home Sweet Home!

Off to go make breakfast for dinner with the hubs! Yumm!

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.
