changes

Well, I guess if you are reading this then you see that I have made some changes to our family blog. This is the first time I have ever played around with this and changed things and I really enjoyed it. But I still have tons of questions. So if you know how to change layouts then let me know. I am still kinda new to all of this. Also, I changed the name of our family blog, to what I feel like we have three monkeys!!! But if you can think of something that fits our family better please please let me know...
Have a wonderful Sunday we are just sitting at home being lazy....

Thanksgiving

MAN I have so much to be thankful for right now mainly this. I do not know what I would do without this man in my life and being the father of my kids. I mean I just dont think me saying Nick I Love you can even say how I really feel about him. And after that man my kids mean the world to me. And let me tell you we had a amazing Thanksgiving. First we went to my brothers and my sis fixed my hair and then we were off to my moms family. There we had great food, and loved seeing everyone again. After that one we went to Nicks step moms family, there Nicks stepmom made some awesome ham so we ate again there. Then the kids played for a while then it was time for us to leave once again. We came home and kinda took a break for a few. Then it was 5pm and time to start getting things ready for the dinner we were having at our house. So, we did that and around 8pm everyone left and man were we tired, it had been a busy busy day. Friday we all about Christmas around here, we put our tree up and all the decorations, while listening to Christmas music. This is my favorite time of year. I just love the holiday season....

So today was more than a lazy day here, so right now I am so ready for bed and that is where I am going now, I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!!!!!

Good Night and really looking forward to amazing day of worship tomorrow...

Hayleigh Anne Johnson

My cousin had her Sat at 1pm, she weighed 6 lbs and 11ozs.

both mommy and baby are doing great. I went and stayed for a few hours last night at the hospital and man do I love me some babies.

Well, today we had a wonderful day of worship... This morning I heard the best sermon and man it really man me think... Then kids went to spend the day with Papa and I came home ate lunch then figured since I was alone I would take a nap, so that I did until like 430, so had to hurry and get ready for church again tonight. Tonight was another wonderful message. I am loving this new preacher we have now he is great. Well, oh oh I am so blessed right now. Tonight I got to rock Brooklyn to sleep I am so happy about that, we listened to Christmas music and she went right to sleep... I love being a mommy. I remember doing that with both boys and man I wish she would let me do it more often. So, I have so much to be thankful for this coming week. My main thing is that Nick has to work tomorrow then he is off till Saturday!!!!!!!!!! YAY I cant wait.

then Braxton only has school 2 days, so we will get to spend tons of time together. Which it has been forever since that has happened. Thursday will be so busy, I think we have 3 different family dinners to go to. But I am super excited to see everyone and let everyone see my babies.

Well, almost time for Nick to be home and I still got to do the dishes1

God Bless and have a wonderful Thanksgiving week!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I bet this we be short cause I am sleepy, but we will see. So, today was wonderful day, I got cleaning done, after getting Braxton from school me and the kids went to see my grandparents then off to see Nicks mom and my brother. So, in the middle of all that I went and picked Nick up and then we went back to my brothers. Me and April (sister n law) made a big pot of chilli and man was it so so good, then we played cards which we do alot and I just love the time we get to spend with them. I can not believe in a few days it will be Thanksgiving. I am so ready to see all the family, and let everyone see the kids, plus awesome news, Nick is off tue. thru fri. I am so ready!!!! Well, my cousin that I am really close to (Kayla) as I type this at the hospital in labor and delivery she is due on Monday, but has been having high blood pressure so they are keeping her. So, in the morning they will start to induce her and so I am so excited to see a baby. I am so happy for her and I know she will be a wonderful mommy cause she is wonderful with my kids. So, I am post pictures of little miss Hayleigh Ann Johnson as soon as I get some... Well, Brooklyn has a runny nose and a little cough but I am hoping its nothing bad, and Brennon said all day today that he didnt feel good, and he just layed around the house all day. Tonight at my brothers he was fixing to fall alsleep and I was laying with him and he felt kinda warm so I gave him some advil and he slept for maybe a hour then he was up ready to eat and play. So, the boys wanted to spend the night with Austin so they are sleeping over tonight. We brought Brooke home and she was so sleepy she has been in the ed since we got home. Well, I guess that is it and I am going to take a nice hot relaxing bath then off today hoping I can kinda sleep in tomorrow. I hope everyone has a blessed and wonderful weekend...

My preemie baby girl

Mommy and baby girl
This is what she looked like the first time me and Nick got to see her

Well, I want to start out by saying this experience ever, we are so blessed. Well, we had two boys and I carried both of them to at least 38 weeks, and they were healthy boys and we got to go home after two days. The normal!!!

Then I was pregnant with my 3rd and even before we found out the sex at 19 weeks I went to dr because I had been having contractions, so they just said they would watch me and we would see where things went from there, well the next week I had my ultrasound and we were super excited to find out we were having a GIRL>> Everything looked wonderful but I was still having contractions and they could not figure out why well, these contractions came and went ever so often by the time I was 30 weeks, I was getting kinda use to them, well August 8th I was 34 weeks and I woke and yeah having contraction but that is normal right, so I just stayed in the bed for a while and it was kinda funny cause that morning I told Nick that I didnt want him to go to work so I was going to have this baby. Well, after 12 I was ok something is different cause they are not going away and man are they strong, so I was told to get up and do normal things and if I was still having them then it for go time. Well, after a shower and getting boys ready to go see Papa I was still having them and they have never lasted that long so I was kinda worried, well I called the dr and they told me they could not get me in so there was nothing they could do, and that kinda made me mad, so ok I was going to the hospital cause I knew something was different. We took the boys to Nicks dad and we were on our way to the hospital and the dr called and said they had a opening and the nurse pac. could see me asap. So I told them we were already on our way to the hospital and we would be right there. I got there and they took me right back. Well, no wait and doc was in there and she was checking me and we already knew I was dialated to a 3 have been since 30 weeks, well I was a 4 now so after you get to 5 there is no turning back or really trying to stop it from there. So over to the hospital I went, so so scared... When I get there and all hooked up I am still having contractions so the dr wanted to try and stop my labor they gave me some meds and man was I sleepy, and I was happy cause we thought it was working then the doctor came in and was like yu can go home if you want but you will go into labor soon so at the time we lived 40 mins away from hospital plus adding time getting the boys somewhere so around a n hour and the dr told me well, go downstairs and get something to eat and we will see how things are after that, I guess as soon as she said that I was screaming, and omg they were coming and they were strong, fast, and everything else. I was hurting... So, at that time the doctor saod sorry you are not getting out of this bed she is coming. I was kinda happy my baby girl was going to be born on 8-8-08. Thought that was neat. Anyways I had to get tons of meds before she actually came, which made me super sick and sleepy. So at 2:30 I remember them trying to wake me up to push it was time. And she was born at 2:45 and I didnt push her out she came out on her own. I remember still being out of it and looking over and the nicu nurses trying to get my tiny baby girl to breath and Nick and his mom keep saying is she ok. I really dont remember anything after that, I went to sleep and woke up the next morning and they were moving me to another room and all I could do was cry, I didnt remember anything but knew I was no longer pregnant and I didnt have a baby in the room with me as I did with the boys. So, I am a wreck and I just want to see my baby girl. Well, this was the hardest thing I have ever had to see I mean and if you have not had to experience this you have no idea. She was so tiny only 5 lbs, I was use to 7 ad 8 lbs, so this was totally different. And all me and Nick could do was touch her and she had wires and tubes and it was awful... Then they told us we have to leave the dr was coming in then he would come and talk to me. I had to leave what that is my baby I want her. Well, I went to my room the boys came which helped tons and all the family. And we would get to see her every few hours, I finally got to hold her when she was 4 days old, that is the first time I feed my baby. She was in the hospital for a total of 8 days which didnt seem long ut with two other kids at home and the oldest just stared school so this is really tough on me and Nick but we had to be strong all three of our babies. She is 15 months now and still super tiny only weighs 20 pounds. She has had a few delays and this has been hard on me cause I have never been thru that before. But she is my baby girl.... She is still not walking and I am hoping that soon she will start. So please please I am begging everyone to support the March of Dimes, because I feel like without them Brooklyn might not be with us today. I have raised money and walked in the walk and I that has made me feel so wonderful.. So to all the other preemie mommies yes Brooklyn had a easy road in the nicu and all and alot have been thru so so much worse. I feel we all have to come together and raise money and awareness for this so we can prevent premature births...

missing

Well, I am sad tonight as I lay here in the bed, all kids in the bed waiting on Nick to get home. I miss Traci, I just knew the lord put here in my life and she was the one, and now it seems like we never talk and I am so sad. So Traci I wanna get back together if it is me coming to your house or which ever I am all for it I miss you so so much. I want that person we I do things with and tell everything... I feel like I am needing this right now....

Well, Braxton is doing get in school. I have something I need to get off my chest. My sister n law asked me tonight if I thought Braxton was depressed cause he cries a lot and whines. Are you for real that thought has never crossed my mind. Oh well I just need to say that why would you even say that to a parent. I was kinda hurt by those words so I was just ready to leave her house asap. I love my babies even if my 5 year old cries and whines alot oh well that is him and he is my baby. Ok now I feel better just had to get that off my chest. Brennon is doing wonderful we are still giving him meds to stop his mirgrianes and it is working great. Brooklyn is 15 months old and she is showing no signs of walking anytime soon. And I am getting kinda upset I want to be able to help her and there is nothing I can do for her.. I mean I stand up with her and hold her fingers and she walks with me but she really doesnt want to walk on her own. I just want the best for my kids and I feel like she is missing out cause she is not walking yet. I hope that I am just being crazy but I feel bad. Well, Nick is off today and I am super excited to get to spend the night with him, I am usually in the bed when he gets home. I am so bless with a wonderful husband and kids father, he works so hard so we can have things and so I can stay at home with the kids... I am feeling very blessed right now. Well, almost time for nap for baby girl so she is getting kinda fussy mommy going to rock my baby girl.....

I have been thinking about this post all day. I have spent this beautiful Saturday at home and not doing much of anything. I did get a few things done but not alot. So poor sissy has had around 10 runny pretty much water today so needless to say her bottom is really red and it hurts her so bad. So, we went on a field trip Thursday with Braxtons class. The boys had a blast and I loved seeing the smile on their faces.... I will post pictures of this trip in a few. Braxton is doing wonderful in school, he still needs some help and is behind in a few things but overall he is great. Brennon is having a few headaches here and there but alot better. Brennon is great but sometimes has a hard time listening to mommy and doing what he is told to do, or even just doing things he knows he doesnt need to do at all, but I guess he is 3 years old so yeah... Brooklyn is the laziest baby I have ever seen or even heard of. I am just ready cause right now I am having to carry her alot and man she is finally getting bigger... I have the best husband ever, we are just so perfect. Oh yeah almost forgot last night Nicks mom kept the kids while me and him went Christmas shopping for the kids and I am so proud to say we are done... Yeah the kids might not get alot of huge things but mommy and daddy got them everything we could... I cant wait till Christmas morning to see their faces. I guess besides that we have really just been laying low... I am hoping to get up and take the kids to church in the morning and I am really looking forward to hear a amazing message and that is me time I just sit and take everything in. Well, I am getting really sleepy so I guess that is all for tonight... Gob bless and have a wonderful day of worship tomorrow...

Well, who knows no one really knows but me and I really dont even know. So, I am done wondering why, I am just going to blog and try and get on here more often for ME!!!!

Well, I have super news my baby is trying to walk, she is walking holding on to things like the couch and things and sometimes she will let go and be standing alone for a few secs. and tonight she was holding onto the chair and then let go and went to grap her walker... So, if you have been reading my blog then you know that I am really wanting her to start walking, and I do know that she will in her own time but man I am ready, she is almost 15 months.... Ok well me and the hubby are so awesome, I love him more and more everyday. and I have no idea why I put that on here but I just wanted to tell someone. The boys are doing good.
