PROUD!!!

Hello all!
How is everyone? Hope all is well. Things are pretty dang good here. Baby Matthew is great. Getting bigger already and the kids well they are doing good also. I am so surprised on how well I am doing. I feel great and well Craig went hunting for 2 days and nights so I was alone ALL weekend and well I managed to...
Sweep, mop, dish's, baths, showers, store, vaccum, laundry and all the odd ends like homework and so on.
Still in shock and yet so proud. Mike was like Liz is going to the store with all 3 kids ALONE??? And I did it and I did it well!!! lol. The cashier was amazed. This is gonna work out just fine!

Anyways enough of my boosting. The weather has really chilled out.. Looks like Fall is here. I am happy about that I love Fall. Oh and we got the kids costumes Serina is gonna be a girl ghost or something like that! CJ is this really cute spider. I will post a pic when the time comes! Well I suppose there is a few more things I would like to get done before baby is up!

Take Care!

A week has already went by!

Hello all!
How is everyone? Hope all is well. It has been a long week. This whole newborn thing is so much harder then I remember.. lol. It's the lack of sleep with also have a kid in school with a toddler at home! WOW! Anyways I know it will get easier as time goes on. The days aren't too bad and he is a good baby. I feel blessed. I have 3 great precious kids and I can honestly say that is all I need or want! I am done. We will NOT be having anymore. Other then that all is well. The kids are adjusting well. Serina is doing GREAT in school. According to her teacher she is a level 19 in reading while most of the class in a 15 or 16. So they want to do another test to see if they should move her a grade higher for reading!!! I was shocked and happy. I feel that all that reading I made her do and so on is paying off. So proud!!! CJ is doing well. I am trying to include him so he doesn't resent the baby. He is very quit when he is around him and well doesn't really even talk to him. I do seem to see that when no one is around is when he tends to sit by him and then say.." Hi lil guy" I can't help but smile! Where does the time go. Well I suppose time to start dinner. I would like to say THANKS to everyone for their love and support. It means a whole lot to me. This was and has been a long hard road and well makes you really appreciate everyone and everything! THANKS again!

Take Care!

HE'S HERE!!!

HI ALL!!!

THANKS FOR ALL THE WELL WISH'S! We are alright right now. Glad to be home and on the road to recovery! So here's his stats...

MATTHEW JEROME GREEN
September 17, 2008
6:55 AM
7 Pds 2 Ozs
18 Inches.

He is gorgous! It was a tough pregnancy. A hard labor and a VERY difficult recovery. I know time will heal though. So heres the birth story..

7:30 pm. ( 9/16) We get to hospital get into a room. Find out that I am indeed am in labor on my own!!! WOO HOO. Was @ 3.5-4cm. Then all was going well they broke my water and on to 6cm then 8cm and as of 2am thats where I stayed. and stayed @ 8cm. So they start Poticein @ 4 am and still nothing but 8cm.. SO CLOSE YET SO FAR AWAY! Finally 6:50 am they let me push after 3 push's lil Matthew entered this world... PRECIOUS!

Now as for after that it went down hill. I started to bleed and couldn't stop they started a couple more IV's and was giving me shots after a hr and alot of blood loss I was finally able to rest. I had to be started on Iron meds because it was either that or a blood transfusion so I have to take those for a month. It will all work out though.

Well gotta go wait for Serina to get off the bus and get baby changed!

Take Care!

Almost time.... WOW!

Hello all!
Sorry it's been a minute yet again. Things are CRAZY busy here. Well I went to the doctor on Thurs and they said they wanted to redo all the same testing yet AGAIN! So I will complete all that tomorrow morning and then do another NST and visit in the afternoon tomorrow! Also here is the shocking news.. ( Or so it was VERY shocking to me!) At my last visit on Thursday they said that due to the Preeclampsia They want to go ahead and induce me on Tuesday or Weds morning!!! So after tomorrows visit @ 1:30 pm I should know just when baby will arrive! I am sooo scared. At least I don't feel like vomitting when I think of it. I am just so nervous. I will know more tomorrow. I WILL be sure to update tomorrow evening cause that may be the last update til he is here! (For ya Kim! lol) So please pray for me!!!

Other then all the baby hussle and bussle... The kids are good. Serina is doing well in school and had another Dental check up on Friday morning and NO cavities!!! They say her teeth look REALLY good and next time she will get sealents! I am geeked cause that means NO cavities at all EVER!!! Or ten years! lol. CJ is well. Getting too big. He is REALLY tall. He is almost as tall as Serina and yet Serina is to my shoulders! Yea so I will be the short one. Which I figured! Craig is out Bow Hunting. No luck yet. Unfortunetly he will have to hold off on that for a couple weeks til baby is bigger. I think he too is nervous about this new baby thing also he just puts on the "tough guy" front. This has been a VERY trying pregnancy to say the least! When we get to finally see him it will make it all worth it and so much realer. As far as names go... We are stuck for a first name but his middle name will be "Jerome" which is after my grandfather who passed away a few years go. That has been the only name will have stuck with. I think he is definetly watching over this pregnancy because with all the complications it's a mircle we made it this far! So the first name will be the "surprise" so to speak! lol. Well I should go.

Take Care!

Waiting...

Labor Day 2008!

Hello all!

How is everyone? Hope all is well. Things are crazy busy here. As you can see here is my kids along with Mikes twin girls. They all have grown so fast! Tomorrow is Serina's first day of second grade!!! WOOWEE. Time flies. CJ is really starting to ask is my baby brother coming now mom??? Well not yet. I think it shouldn't be much longer. I am swollen BADLY! I have dr again on Weds and we will see what they say. At this point I can't believe how fast I swell. I can lay around all day and drink water like no there and then ride in the car for 20 mins and swell BAD! I mean hands, face, legs and ankles! Time will tell. As long as he is healthy all is well!

Well off to bed. Alot to do the next couple days!
