Well I got the bright idea to start potty training. I have very little patience sometimes and unfortunately Connor had two accidents because of it. Lets hope day two goes better. I can't wait to have BOTH boys out of the pull up. Charles I suspect will take a bit longer...but hopefully with success I will have him done by next month...I hope to have Connor done within two weeks.
Fall has arrived in Galesburg! It's getting cooler during the day and night.
Charles is adjusting very good in school and I am hoping to get Connor in school soon.
It seems I can't find a job to save my life! Grr but I am still looking.
Well that's it for now...will update how things go tomorrow. Wish me luck!

Summer!!!
Charles is officially a 5th grader!!!!!!!!! He will start his 5th year in a new school but I am so very proud of my boy! He did so spectacular in school this year!
Connor is doing fantastic and I can't wait to get him into school so he can interact with other kids...he really needs it!
I am doing ok but dealing with migraines and as soon as we get settled in when we get to Illinois I am going to see a specialist.
Packing the house is bittersweet cause I said I wouldn't be moving for awhile but so much has happened in the past year that I welcome this new decision and can't wait to be in a new place with all my boys...(Ethan will be with us in spirit..mommy misses you sweetie!)
For now the plan is to spend this summer with my family and get the kiddos into school and for me to get my butt in gear and finish my education...so I can get the dream job I want.
I love you all and will miss my family here!!!
*sigh* back to packing

I'm getting old!
I am going to be 32 years old tomorrow and you know what? I wish I was 21 again....that way I can do things a lot different....well not a lot of things...I never regret having my kids.
it's just that my 31st year was a tumultous year....first I moved into my own place.
found out I was pregnant and lost Ethan...so much and I just want to rewind that year.
I am hoping 32 will be a LOT better than 31.
First off we are moving to Illinois!!!!! That's a start. We will see how things go!
I miss you Ethan!!!! <3

Sleep has eluded me once again..
Usually I would post this under Ethan's blog, but I wanted to keep this blog running too.
For the last two nights sleep has been really rough..last night was because of coffee and tonight...well I have no clue why I can't sleep.
Tomorrow my mom my sister and Bruce will be here to see/ spend time with Ethan and also participate in a second photo shoot being offered to me by the hospital's media team (they did Ethan's first shoot and I was amazed at how good the pictures turned out.)
I think that I am trying to be strong but it's hard...and I don't know how I am going to cope with everything that is going to be happening in the next few days.
On Saturday my dad and Denise took me out because I wanted to start a shadow box for Ethan (haven't found the right box yet.) I got pampered and it felt good just to be non stressed for awhile ( I called and checked on Ethan at least 5 different times)
Sunday I just vegged out and spent the day at the hospital as Denise wasn't feeling to good..dad came and stayed with us for a little while which was good..I held my sweet boy today and we just kinda relaxed with each other, he was very calm and slept the entire time.
I will be giving my mom my sister and Bruce time with Ethan tomorrow and I am going over to Ronald Mcdonald House to do laundry and other things that need to be done. I have had every moment up til now with him and I think that it would be nice for them to be Ethan.
Well I am going to try to lay down and sleep now....Will update later.

I miss my boys
I haven't updated this blog in awhile and I feel I have to update a little as things are very private right now.
Charles and Connor are doing very good with Bruce and I miss them lots and can't wait to see them.
Ethan...please follow his blog @ ethandavid2011.blogspot.com for more details.
I am slowly holding on to reality and with the new meds I am taking I hope to get better soon.
I will update more on Charles and Connor when I get home.

My love for my boys
Time for some updates...
Charles is doing good in school and is now eating pudding at school!! ( for those who know my oldest this is a very big deal!) We went to get the prescription for his AFO'S now all we have to do is wait for Hanger Prosthetics to come and fit him for his new AFO'S.
He is progressing well in school and can even read short stories!
Connor is doing fantastic and has new words... he says bye bye bye when we leave or someone leaves the room and says go-go(super new word for him!)
He is my stocky little boy and is such a mini me it's not even funny.
In just 4 days (almost) we will be welcoming the newwest addition Ethan ( that is if we make it that far which I am hoping we will. He has Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome and will require 3 surgeries by the time he is 5 years old. I will be in Akron with him for at least a month or so (hopefully less if he does great. I have a seperate blog for him EthanDavid2011.blogspot.com
Well thats it for the updates. Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

New things
I realize I haven't posted on this blog in forever so I am gonna sum it up in one post.
We are still in the house we moved into in June and the landlord has agreed to extend the agreement to another year ( which means I don't have to move right away yay!)
I found out I was pregnant again with a baby boy (only to find out he has a serious heart condition...see attached blog Ethan and HLHS) My C-Section is scheduled for 3-17 (which is about 4 weeks away!!)
Charles is doing fantastic in school he even made Student of The Month for November 2010!!! I am very much the proud mommy!!
Connor is doing very good we are still working on potty training I am hoping it goes smoothly! He should be starting preschool in the fall of 2011!!!
My mom and sister moved closer to me and I am so very happy to have them so close to me and the boys.
I am gonna try to blog more often it's just been super super busy!!
