My Sonshine!
Here's Aiden reading a book he got from Grandma Delehoy. I know we have a genius on our hands! I also, know that every mom says that, but I really mean it :) And no, I'm not partial. I'm so thankful for this little boy. I could have the worst day in the world and when I get home or pick him up from my mom and dad's home...he makes everything better. He smiles at me so big with his two little teeth and and starts swinging his arms because he's so excited to his mama. You look at these little ones and realize that little things that we get hung up on and get bent out of shape over and worry about aren't so important.
You know what I love? In the place where I have my clinicals they interview the residents and put their little survey by the door, so you can get to know a little bit more about them on a personal level. So many of them have had such interesting lives. Some are very educated with Bachelor's degrees and some made a wonderful living from farming or having their own business. Right above their their "Words of Wisdom" they're asked what they're most proud of in life. You know what every single person has said? They've either said "My family" or "My kids". That really puts things into perspective for you. I'm finishing up school, so I can help provide a good life for us, and to give me something I can depend on if I ever have to support myself. I always read those papers though, and it reminds me to focus on what really matters. You can end up with the whole alphabet behind your name, but at the end of the day your family and the time spent with them is the most important.

I'm just needing to vent right now. I've been a little discouraged because of comments people make about us having another baby on the way. Children are a blessing from God right? He tells us that. So why do people get so crazy? I admit that after I found out, I had a long crying spell because I was scared, and not for reasons most people like to dwell on. I was crying because I was so worried about my health. As most of you know my health goes down hill at the end and I was told after I had Aiden that they're problems I'll always have when I get pregnant. Now that I've learned more about these health problems I get, it's really scary! Then I sucked it up and got over and got excited.
Now people just ask how we feel about it and act liks it's crazy that Aiden and the new baby will be approx. 18 months apart. It's hurtful. I don't know why anybody thinks they have the right to make bold comments about your life and put in their 2cents. The people who truly love us are excited for us and I guess that's all that matters.
I was talking to my mom about what my Dr told me about why the pill doesn't work sometimes. He basically said that any little thing in the world can throw it off. So, I was talking about how I was sick for like 4 weeks. Not seriously ill, just a cold I couldn't shake. My mom told me to get that out of my head and to not even think about it because God had other plans for us and this baby is meant to be. I cut our Pastor's hair yesterday and I was telling him what a surprise this baby was, and he was talking to me about how God has wonderful plans for us and it's all about His timing. It was such an encouragement!
So, thank you to those of you who have been encouraging and positive and supportive...it really means a lot right now.
