Current

Gwen Will be 2 months next week!!  I actually went into labor with her, with Berkley I was induces a week late with no progress what so ever.  Gwen was born June 13th 6:41pm I was having contractiosn all day that day and just thought they were the fake ones.  Luckily my sister was heading back home and dropped by because I was just not feeling good oh and my mucus plug came out, sorry this is TMI.    I told Neal he needed to come home from work right away, made it to the hospital by 4pm had Gwen at 6:41pm

**We had her home for barley a day and we had to rush her to the childrens hospital Fathers Day morning at 2am.  She had a VERY high fever, not wanting to nurse, harte rate was going so fast I could feel it.  and her eyes were rooling back!... this is making me cry reliving what happened.  We made it in time the ER got her stabalized admited her to the NICU.  We were in there for almost one week.  They did so may test, it wasn't bacterial, it wasn't fungal, it wasn't menigitis,... they thought it was just a virus.  Thankfully all of our family lives here so they were taking care of Berk for us while we went to and from the hospital.  It was a VERY tough time,I wanted to be with her every minute but I needed rest to spend time with Neal and Berkley. Fortunatley my mom and neals mom took shifts at night so Gwen wouldn't be alone and she would get the care that was needed.

I dedicated a song to her in the hospital.. "You are my Sunshine," I pleaded to heavonly father to  not take her away from me and our family.  I am so greatful to have this BEAUTIFUL  spirit in our lives!! :)

Us

Doing GREAT!!  We went to Sea World last month wich was AWESOME Before Gwen  was due.  Now it's the waiting game, I am 1cm dialted but that is really nothing.  I am just glad to have that much progress because  when I was induced and admited with Berkley I wasn't even dialated.   We are just excited for the new adventures of having another child will bring.  I would say this time I am not as scared but just excited to meet her!! :)

Update

Trying to get the house orgaized by installing a medicine cabnit in Berk's bathroom along with ours. Along with getting organized we bought a "room orgaizer" that has cubby holes for baskets to store the many toys that we have, but have it look like a livingroom at the same time. There is still much progress to be made! :) I'll take a picture when it is up.

Next week I will be 30wks, very exciting!! I found out that I was anemic, no wonder whay I was feeling cruddy and looked pail all the time. Now i'm on an iron pill and man has it truly helped me out words can not describe!! :)

I am still working 3 nights a week at albertsons as a cashier, and plan on working till the lat 2 weeks of my pregnancy. It feels like I hardley see my love, a date night is much needed.

It's a...

We are having another Girl!! Neal was wishing for a boy but to me it didn't matter. :) I am TRULY set on one name and I have Berkley saying it but I am trying to convince Neal a little more. I was thinking I could name her her first name and Neal could name the miidle name; or we can come up with two names and name her at the hospital.

*We are VERY greatful we still have her clothes, and the baby gear :)

Quick update on our family..... Neal is working long hours since tax season has started back up. He will start studying for his last 3 exams once his 55+hours a week tapers down. Berkley got a toddler bed for christmas and is now not taking her nap during the day. :( I guess she is preparing me for a newborn. I am doing good and growing :(. I am watching my nephew and still working part time. Our little Girl is Due June 14th!! :)
