Getting ready

This is what I've been doing today.

I pulled out some of Cooper's baby clothes that he (Cooper) is so excited to give to his baby brother Brewer. Yes, i had some happy tears of memories today of my baby Cooper in all of these clothes. I can't believe its already been 4 & 1/2 years later. It seems just like yesterday we brought Cooper home from the hospital. Time does go by way to fast and now my baby is going to be a big brother to his baby brother. So much happiness is spreading through our house. Brewer shouldn't arrive for about 18 more weeks but the doctor said with my condition that we are hoping that Brewer will make it for 14 more weeks. We are praying and hoping for the best and that our baby will be strong and that my body will be stronger to let baby Brewer stay in there as long as he needs to be a big healthy baby boy. I am just so excited to be a mother to a baby again. I have been so blessed to be a mother to so many precious babies. I know someday i will get to hold all my babies and kiss their chubby cheeks and rock them to sleep. I'm just praying daily that i will be able to do this with Brewer here in my home.

My baby boy,
I love you!
I can't wait for the day that our eyes meet,
our hands touch, and our lips kiss.
Love,
Your Momma

This is what Coop Dog and Gunny Worm were doing all weekend. They would sit in the there for hours and they didn't smell to good when they got out.

Coop wants to be a pig farmer just like his Grandpa Caldwell but he told me he has to get bigger first before he can be a pig farmer so he needs to eat more cheese sandwiches:) Funny boy!

and this is why

i have the best mother ever!

not to many grandmas would race on scooters with their grand kid. she's my hero. i pray ever night that i can be just like her. i love you mom happy mothers day!

lots of love,

My first mothers day gift from my boy

Today i woke up to a little boy so excited to show me a mothers day gift he made for me. He could hardly wait. I know he wanted to make me fill special since thats what everyone around him this weekend was trying do for their mothers. Cooper even went shopping with his grandpa caldwell, uncle gunner, uncle porter and uncle stratton to a store to pick out mother day cards. Well while all the boys were focus on looking for the perfect mothers day card coop decided he would slip away and pick out a card for his mother. While walking around the store all by himself for awhile his grandpa remembered he had his grandson with him but where was he and so the search was on for a little 4 year old boy. They found him and Cooper was pretty mad that he didn't find his mother a card. Even though i should be mad at my brothers and my dad for losing my child, i wasn't when they told me what he was looking for. But i woke up to the prettiest flowers i have ever seen and it didn't even bother me that my boy picked them from my flower bed in the front yard.

I love my boy!

Happy Mothers Day!

Cajun Thursday

I came home to my delicious hubby cooking up dinner for me.

He went Cajun crazy!
I loved it!
It was my first experience with craw fish, it was okay and i would try it again.
The shrimp was Yummy!
Just what a pregnant lady needed!
We decided that every Thursday night should be Cajun food.
Does anyone have any good Cajun recipes you would love to share?

Lovebirds

Tyler and Lawryn are getting married!

Congratulations! Wishing the two of you tons of love from your big brother and crazy sister in law!

I found out in my ultrasound that i have placenta previa. My doctor wants me to be positive and really just said i will have to have a c-section but through my research about it i have found a lot of information that has really scared me. I know i need to stay positive so i don't stress out and I'm trying. I just wanted to know if anyone of you have had this and would be kind enough to give me any advice and knowledge about it. I would really appreciate it. This pregnancy just seems to have one challenge after another but i know it will all be worth it.

Lots of love,
Marti
