Geez, I hadn't wrote in OD in a long long time. Since I found out I was pregnant with my fourth, I think. Ellie is now 4.5 months old. My oldest, Lola and Sophia, are now 8 years old and my son just turned 5 on Jan. 30th. I feel like time just flies once you have kids, and it's semi depressing.
Ellie (her full name is Ellison but we call her Ellie) was born on Sept.17th. Two days after the girls' birthday! She wasn't due until Nov.2, she was 7 weeks early. If you remember any of my posts from OD you will know that I went into pre-term labor with my other pregnancies too but never delivered THAT early. Ellie spent 15 days in the NICU. It was a very scary experience, her birth. I had an emergency c-section, she turned during the surgery so they couldn't grab her out...it seemed like it took forever. When they finally did get her out she wasn't crying, she wasn't breathing. So they had to bag her for a few minutes to get her started. It was such a scary experience but she is super healthy now.
The girls are in 3rd grade and doing okay. I just got a bad behavior report for both of them last week and I am really disappointed about it. Babies are SO much easier compared to big kids. The saying is true, the bigger the kids the bigger the problems. I am sure I am in for a lot more as time goes on and they get older but I don't want to think about that right now.
My son is still at home with me, he will be in kindergarten starting next fall. He is by far the funniest kid I've ever met. The stuff that comes out of his mouth just has me rolling on the floor most of the time.
I JUST worked my last day at work last Sunday. I switched to contingent so I can focus on school which I just started as well, a month ago. I was still working at the same hospital that I've been at for 9 years. I will still pick up shifts here and there but the twelve hour shifts and four kids plus school were killing me so I had to give something up.
Hmm, not much else that I can think of right now but I will try and write more often than I did on OD!
