hakuna matata....

"....It means no worries, for the rest of your days...."

I like this philosophy!!!!

Today we went and watched the Lion King with the boys. It was so great to share one of my favorite childhood movies with them! Kolton LOVED it, and Korbin well...he liked the song parts, other than that he was bored. He doesn't like tv or going to the movies.  

Every time I get stressed now i'm going to sing Hakuna Matata in my head! I hope it works!  :)

Four years...

Four years ago I met him, my first baby boy! The most precious thing i had ever seen in my life.  

 I instantly fell in love.

 There are no words to describe the feeling of becoming a mommy and holding something so pure, so small, so PERFECT in your arms and knowing that HE is MINE (ours)...forever!

 Kolton, you came into this world in a hurry...an extremely fast emergency csection. 

I will never forget your birth story....

It was the Florida vs. Tenn. game of '07 and Daddy specifically told me not to go into labor that day (he wanted to watch the game..haha) We went to eat at Chili's for lunch and then came home. I stayed home and put out all the Fall decor in the house while daddy went to watch the game with the guys. All day i was "leaking"(sorry TMI)...and FINALLY realized that it was my water, it had broke!! I started feeling weird so i called the Dr. and then called your daddy, the game had just ended, LOL! We headed to the hospital and then within 30 min was being rushed to the operating table. Your were breach and my water had broke, so we were talking about having a c-section within the next two hours and then your heart rate unexpectantly dropped LOW and wouldn't rise so i was rushed to have a c-section (and i mean rushed, like nurses running and pushing my bed into the operating room) and shoving me onto the table and being put to sleep.  I was scared but really didn't have time to think about anything. An hour and half later i woke up in the recovery room to family, nurses, and my precious baby boy!!!!! 

I can't thank God enough for you Kolton!! 

 That was four years ago....

Its a new day!

Today (4 days after surgery) i'm feeling much better!!! I'm still having some cramps and things but i am feeling pretty much back to myself! I said in an older post i'm not going to complain or have a "pity party", and i mean that....I am way too blessed for that!! I look at all this as a learning/growing experience and God saw it fit for my life and although I may not like it, i realize it could of been worse. For my sake and my lil' family's sake I have had a good cry (ok maybe two or three good cries) and a good talk with God and i'm ready for a new day!.....

   Today I had to get out of my house! i have been no where the last week but the Dr.'s office or hospital. I was ready for some fresh air and a Starbucks of course. So, this morning i woke up feeling like its time to get out of my slump and i was going to enjoy this rainy day -no matter what. I loaded my boys up and headed to my moms to pick her up. I only had three things on my mind and that was....

#1. Have some fun with my boys

(pictures on my phone...gotta figure out how to put them on computer on day)
We had lunch at Chick-fil-a, played on playground, ended lunch with some ice cream

 #2. Go to Starbucks for a Mocha latte

#3. Buy a Bath & Body Works Fall candle 

(sweet cinnamon pumpkin, to be exact).

Today was a New Day....a great day!

Surgery

After a long day Thursday and an exam and another dreaded ultrasound, Today i had surgery and am home resting now. I'm very sad about why i had surgery but i'm very happy its over and i can begin to heal. Thanks to everyone for the sweet words, emails, calls, and texts!  I have been a mess and with God, prayer, and the love and support around me I am at peace about this all. 

The LORD is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation; this is my God, and I will praise him, my father’s God, and I will exalt him.
