It’s ELMO!!

It’s been so cute to watch Taylor start to recognize and show a liking to certain characters. I always liked Sesame Street as a kid, so I record it now and she enjoys watching it some afternoons. Busch Gardens has a whole Sesame Street section in it, so my parents and I took Taylor there one morning to catch the Elmo Show!!

It was hilarious to watch, as these kids cheered the characters on like they were big celebrities! Even Taylor joined in on the excitement and clapped and screamed for them! She got a few high-fives from Grover and Elmo too! Having a kid sure does bring out the kid in me again! :) Who would of thought waking up early on a Saturday morning to go to Sesame Street land would be my top choice of things to do? Yep, well it is and I wouldn’t change it for the world!

Happy Weekend, All!

The truth is the reason we have kids is so that inner child can come out and we have an excuse.

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.
