A friend of mine is in the hospital. She's 22 weeks pregnant and is probably losing the baby. Her bag of waters began to leak. She has an incompetant cervix and has lost more babies at this stage of pregnancy than she's kept. She has two beautiful little girls. They're trying their best to help her and her baby but it doesn't look good. If you are ( Read more... )

It's a boy! A healthy-looking boy! We're so happy and excited. What a relief. All looks well, HE is growing well... moving a lot... he's moving as a type this actually!

So far, the closest we are to a boy's name is Cameron Scott. Neither of us are completely sold on Cameron yet but we'll see!

I'm very afraid that I'm having a miscarriage. The frustrating thing is being unable to tell if it's my paranoia caused by my losses or if it's truly something to worry about.

Four year olds and spray perfumes are a bad mix.

I'm not sure why I'm updating this. But I am ( Read more... )

Whew, it's been a while! What's news... Scott got a job, working at Toyota. He's doing well so far. It's straight commisson so it'll be a bit of an uphill crawl for the first month or two but could lead to a lot of good things if we're lucky and he's as talented as I think he is. The kids are all here, all happy, all well. I'm still in school, ( Read more... )

Still no Internet access. My grandma gave me the Internet for Christmas but I've been too busy to pursue setting it up. It's a work-in-progress ( Read more... )

My grandmother just told me she's paying for our Internet for Christmas! I'll update again when I'm back online!!! :D
