Over the past three years it has been flipped upside down. I am 31 years old, and married to my hubby of three years, Josh. We have 4 beautiful angel babies, who are fondly known as our “Green Beans”. The first of my quads, Heidi, held on as long as she could and was born on January 31, 2009 after pPROMing at 17 weeks. A few weeks later, I pPROM’d with my sweet Lily. Lily, Paige, and Rylan were all born at 22 weeks on February 23, 2009. Just after being released from the hospital empty handed, I returned with a high fever and infection. Two of the nights I spent in the hospital that week, I honestly thought I was going to die. It was the sickest and most hopeless I’ve ever been. I’m pretty sure my diagnosis was a broken heart.
Our journey to becoming parents has had its share of happiness and heartbreaks. I got through every day by staying close to Josh, friends and family, blogging, and relying on God that my future will be bright. All the love and support I’ve gotten has greatly helped me manage……I am alive and well, and want to be my absolute best as a result of this.
On May 1st 2011, we welcomed our sweet baby girl, Taylor, into this world. She is our miracle baby and brings so much joy and happiness in our lives. She is such a gift from God.
I have come out of all of this with a better appreciation of life. I hope to make the best of this situation by helping others who will experience a similar loss.
There's nothing more satisfying {in housework} than to see the fruits of your labors at the end of the job! It looks GREAT, and I hope you get some good people in there that will appreciate your hard work! Congrats on the new home - you guys have done a beautiful job on it.
ReplyDeleteahh the joys of moving. we've been through it so many times and it never gets easier. you're right though, the satisfaction afterwords is totally worth it. i love moving into a new place, getting everything unpacked and putting out touch on it. i'd definitely rather have someone else do the elbow grease part for me though!
ReplyDeleteI did the same thing a few months ago and thought I was going to vomit when I saw the before during and after! Sad thing is, I think we're back where we started now!!
ReplyDeleteYou crack me up! "I discovered what filth we were living in that whole time!" Thank goodness for dark tile! Good pick on your new house flooring!
ReplyDeleteyikes! Tile is hard to keep clean, anyway. Just think of all the time you saved not cleaning it, haha..jk. Actually, didn't you have a cleaning lady? Maybe she should have done a better job. In the future, Stanley Steamer does a great job cleaning tile and grout.
