Such a Dunce

I totally forgot that Sara Ellis had tagged me on her blog. I havent done one of these in forever. So here goes.

7 Unique Things About ME
1) Who could do me better than me, I know ME.
2) I secretly would love to have more children like DH wants but I will never tell him that because then he's gonna wanna jump me 24/7, but secretly I would love to have more.
3) I'm probably one of the youngest digi scrappers out here because i get told i'm the baby of the bunch so so so many times, but at times i feel like i'm the oldest. Seems as if i been doing this forever and would NEVER EVER change any of it... well try to get better at it defintatly but not change it.
4) There are days when i wish my 5 year old was in 5 day school rather than 3 day kindergarden. She drives me up a wall at times and is currently doing so now.
5) I have the hardest time describing myself and making layouts of myself. Its the hardest thing i've had to do. Its so much easier to tell about the people around you than you yourself.
6) Back in HS I used to be on a swim team for the Navy base I used to live on. I loved it then I transfered adn got too oldto be on the team anymore. I turned 18. Talk about making you feel old prematurely.
7) I alwasy thought i never broke a bone but according to my mother I have. Can someone tell me what bone i broke?

OMGawsh...

I'm so sorry I seemed to have forgotten about this little blog of mine. Dont it seem. Well I do have a few sneek peeks at kits to come two awesome collabs, one with the fab Sara Ellis and the other with the grunged princess, Jana McCarthy. So far all we have are papers but man once you see these papers your gonna be beggin for these kits.

I'm not gonna tell you which is which person though so you will just have to wait a few more weeks to find out. But I can tell you that both of these kits are to die for. You will be begging to have them.

So what else is new... We had our baby girl, Madalynne Rose, on July 26th at 2:02 PM. I went into labor night before and was admited to the hospital. Contractions about 5 mins aparnt and made me go from 3-5 cm over night. So we broke my water at 7 amish on the 26th. Paul was not there as we sent him home to be with the kids. No since in him being there that night and we would call him if something had happened anyway. Gave me a sleeping pill and i was off to dreamland for a few hours at least lol. Anyway Paul got there contractions going pretty good on their own got stuck for about an hour and ran some pitocin. I'm used to this by now. Got me some pain meds and i went to sleep for a few. Naturally DH takes pictures of me sleepin during labor and on the phone lol. None of me in extreme pain though which is good lol.

When Madalynne was born i was in tears. My baby wasnt crying all that good. Gave her some oxygen and placed her in the issolette with oxygen right on her. Her sweet little lungs weren't quite fully developped yet. We later found out that she was 5 weeks early. We were both taken to Akron Children's Hospital where she spent the first week of her life. That is a very scary place. I know that she didnt have the biggest of problems but to walk in there day after day and see all the other mommy's and daddy's having their babies in there too being changed from room to room due to their baby's condition. It was hard very hard for me.

But she is now home with us and about 7 weeks old. Still very small and having a few minor problems but none with her breathing. She's got some issues with her digestion and her formula. I wish I could have breastfed her now, but my milk didnt really come in like it should have and had been for the other kids. But all will be fine. Anyway here is a cute little layout of my princess and her duck. The only paci that she will take and it also happens to be the one the hospital gave her. And also the only place that has these to buy lol.

The Duck
