It's a Boy!


We have ourselves a little son! His name Is Ashton Reed! He was born 8-8-06 at 9:40 AM and weighed 6.13.5 and was 20.5 inches long!
God chose to bless us with a Down Syndrome baby and we ask for your prayers of wisdom and guidance as we travel down this uncertain road. He had no serious health issues at this time which we are praising God for but he does have weak tone in his mouth muscles which made it very trying for me to nirse and we were in the hospital NICU for 8 days to get him antibiotics for a test which came back negative then.....he does have a PDA but that is showing a good report too.
He started to nurse on monday for me now so I pray we can continue for his health sake as they are more prone to pick up things....I will limit his going away to a minimum and visitors will have to abide by our guidlines for visiting him.
I have been having pain in my leg and had some chest pain as well but I had an ultrasound done yesterday and it came back negative but the leg still is sore, so I ask for prayers that I can rest and not worry about it too much.
The children go back to school tomorrow. So there goes my help but it will be good for them to have a normal routine again.....Please write me comments!

Pink or Blue?


Pink or Blue? Well we are very anxious to see......I made these two kinds of KoolAid the other night and low and behold they were Pink and Blue! Well we sure got the giggles out of that!

Baby to be..............

As I sit here I am waiting rather impatiently for the "end" of my pregnancy......Tomorrow I go in for my hospital preop and then a doctor visit.....maybe they will say I need to come back in huh?
Summer has been rather good but now its getting longer as I get more uncomfortable, but this too shall pass and then I will have a sweet little one to hold and the misery will vanish or so I am told....that too is hard to imagine.....
Nursery is all ready and the bunkbeds are done too and we are still trying to make adjustments in having the 3 boys together and settling at night when mom is tired is rough sometimes. We need to start getting them up earlier as well since school will be starting on the 24th of August already!
Keep checking back for Baby news!
