late night crafter

Aside from the horrible mess in the corner of the room (stacks and stacks of fabric scraps, half completed projects, etc.) you would never think i have time to get any crafting done..and the truth is, I don't, but I make the time! These days i have to just wait till the kids go to sleep and at that point im exhausted. But i don't care...crafting gets me high! I swear, its that feeling of completing a project, whether for me or someone else...that feeling is just awesome. I'm not a seasoned pro, its all for fun and out of love. I like taking on new shit and trying it out. Each time you learn something new. Well, enough talking about it..im off to sew!

sweet scramble

Sitting here in my rocking chair with Winter in my arms...this is my quiet reflection time (a.k.a. blog from my phone time). Being a mother to a lil girl is so special in a different kind of way. Im looking at her lil face in this dim light and cant think of any other way to describe this moment but BEAUTIFUL. She is sweet and small and perfect and mine. A living doll truly truly.
Dax is another kind of story. Of course he is special too. He is clever and observant, this boy is not easily fooled or distracted. He likes to just sit and hold hands with me. He tells me everything he feels. He wakes up and asks where his baby sister is. So thoughtful, so protective...just like his father. My life is so colorful and warm because of them. When i look at their faces i can only think of how in love i am with their father. My family. My TWO kids. My husband. My life. My loves.

My Beautiful Winter

Hey everyone,
Oh goodness! It has been sooooo long since my last post! Well, I had my daughter, my gorgeous little Winter Grace. The surgery went sooo well. Healing has been a sinch, even losing the baby weight is going so much better than after my last pregnancy. We ran into some problems at the hospital, but thankfully now that's just a hazy blur. The baby was born very jaundiced and it got to the point where she was put in the NICU (thats baby intensive care unit for those who arent familiar with the term) to be treated. It was heartbreaking for us and I was an emotional mess. I missed Dax...ugh, it was pretty terrible. Long story short, I was dilligent about breastfeeding her.. EVERY two hours..yes even at night. Sleep could wait! You see, the more she ate and pooped, the faster she would pass all that bilirubin that was in her blood. It worked and they finally sent us home. <3
Anyway life is crazy and exciting. I have my little pair of kiddos. WOW! It still trips me out! I really wish the weather wasn't so crazy cold so I could take Dax out to play. We're getting a little cabin fever from being here with each other all day. We keep plenty busy though. I seriously feel so blessed. Even with all the hospital bills that seem to be coming everyday, I can't help but stay positive and appreciative. Life is amazing.
