| Maddox is hereMy darling baby Maddox was born 2 weeks ago tomorrow. He's the sweetest little thing. He weighed 8lbs 6oz and was 22 inches long. I delivered him in only 4 pushes! (SuperMom!!!)
Breastfeeding was a little rocky at first, but now things are going really well.
Here is a picture of my little man!

| I have to have these!
Aren't they adorable. I think they would be great for snow and rain. I might try to talk Mike into letting me order them next weekend. I don't know what color though. Pink or Orange. Hmmmm

This might look like any piece of cinnamon toast to you, but when I see this picture all I see is LOVE. My wonderful 8 year old Austin made breakfast for me this morning. It was the best piece of cinnamon toast I have ever had. And not only did I get cinnamon toast, but a glass of tea too.
Thank you so much for this wonderful breakfast Austin. It was more than I could have ever asked for.

| BirthdayTomorrow is my birthday. I am so not happy about it. Usually I am the person who counts down the seconds to my birthday. I mean I let everyone and everything know my birthday days, weeks, months in advance. Not this year though.
I know people will think it's the pregnancy hormones, but that is so not it. The thing is no one in my family will care. My biological "Mother" left me years ago. Well she is in and out of my life, but mostly out. But for my birthday I know there will be nothing.
My Dad is the hardest thing to explain. He is going through a midlife crisis I guess. He left my step-mom (who is my heart Mom) a few years ago. That is fine. I get that. But the past few months he has left me too. We got into a fight a few months ago. He stopped taking my calls and didn't return my letters. A few months later he finally answered when I called and acted like nothing was wrong. It was the strangest thing ever.
Then a few weeks ago, while I thought everything was still fine, he was supposed to come and visit. He didn't. Ok that is fine, but he didn't call or anything to explain why. In fact he still hasn't called to say anything. So I don't know what I did to him.
It kills me that the people who brought me into this earth want nothing to do with me. I don't know, maybe it wouldn't hurt this much if I didn't love my kids with all that I have. And this isn't about adoption at all. This is about parents who do raise you (my "birth mom until I was 7 or so and my Dad up until this year) that want nothing to do with you. God you see rapist and killers who's parents hide them and lie for them. I don't think I did anything that bad.
Yes, my husband and my children will do their best to make it a great day for me. And yes, I will fake happiness for them. But this birthday is going to suck big time. (And I am not going into this with a negative attitude, I just want to be prepared. KWIM?)

| Nesting?Andrew is home sick from school today. :( He threw up first thing this morning. I think it might have been a one time thing. My neighbor son had the same thing last week and he only threw up once. Well I am HOPING that it's only a one time thing. LOL
I don't know if I posted it before or not, but I got my diaper bag. I got
this one. It's called the "Bowler" because it looks like a bowling bag. See, I LOVE Vera Bradley. I wanted the diaper bag, but it's just too big for every day use. The bowler is perfect. It has enough room and pockets for the baby's things and my own.
Well anyway, I packed my diaper bag for the hospital today. I opened the little pack of newborn diapers. All I can say is awwww!!! They are so small and cute. Yes, this is my 4th child, but I forgot just how small they are. The only thing I have left to do is order the baby blanket from Gap.com.
I have also cleaned the baby swing up and put my slings in the wash today. So I guess I am getting things together.
