I have been setting here crying like a little baby. I came across this blog via a long process but wanted to share if anyone else needed a good cry and a reminder how very blessed we are to have beautiful healthy children. Maybe my emotions are on edge and all from just having Mylee but after reading through the above blog I am both humbled and thankful for the joy and happiness that motherhood brings into my life. I know that I complain a lot and feel sorry for myself, not so much to other people but to myself after I have a baby, and I don't know if I am the only one but when I get like this and I have all of these raging hormones going through my system sometimes my other kids bother me, the things they do just get on my fetching Nerves. I try to take a breath and maybe a percocet ( you know the ones that they give you after you have a baby) oh wait a minute, new doctor, new prescription, he does not give percocet I was informed, only Tylenol 3 with Codeine. Luckily I am not the addictive kind, so I just settled for what I could get which did not do a dang thing for my nerves, don't they know they need to invent some kind of nerve pill for new mother's. oh I got off subject there for a minute. Anyway I do love each and everyone of my children, each one brings something different to our family and I would be lost without the way Landyn takes care of everything and is a good chore boy and is very helpful to me, or the way Austyn drives me completely wacko but then his sensitive little kind heart melts mine and clears it all away, or how Maycee bops around the house talking and playing all by herself while giving me that smile that makes it all okay, and then there's Braysyn who can't let me out of his sight, even while I use the bathroom, he has to holler that he likes me while I am in there to make sure I am not getting out without him knowing, and last but for sure not least is littleMylee she is our little blessing that dropped right from heaven and into all of our hearts. so I am sure that it was not a coincidence that I was led to this sight and to this post to let me see and appreciate all that our Heavenly Father has given to me. So here I sit with my little angel on my lap, having a lesson on life when I should be sleeping. None the less I am glad for lessons like these in my life. Love to all.

Emotions -- Geez, I hear you on that one. Mine were always crazy after a pregancy (although I only had two of them :) I still get super emotional during that time of the month, I could cry at a commercial and CMT is off limits because all those sappy country video's bring on the water works. I can imagine having 4 kids and a newborn is a lot of work and you sound perfectly normal to me. I love your resolutions. And I agree, they should make a new mom pill, or how about just a mom pill period.
If that blog doesn't teach you what's important in life then I don't know what else would. I sat here crying my eyes for a good hour or so. How could you do that, their strength is amazing. It makes life seem a little eassier. Thanks for finding it and sharing!
Cute picture of you and Mylee-
I agree very sad story! It also brought me to tears. I don't know if you have heard yet but my cousin Eric Wintch (Shane and Tiffanys brother) Just buried their four month old lttle girl Haylie on Saturday who died of Sids on News Years Eve. I so Hate to see babys go, they don't deserve to leave so early and need the chance to live a good life. I'm thankful that so far I haven't had a child (after they were born) die. (knock on wood) I don't think I could bear it!
When I had Sadie I knew something was wrong. At the same time Cherish knew her baby was going to die. I remember Cherish saying she would take her baby any way it came if it would just live. There are some days when I feel overwhelmed but my child is alive! I get to enjoy her and all of my children every day even with her disabilities. Mike and I were talking the other night in bed after reading her stories and stuff and we both said we could not imagine her any other way than the way she is and we will never have to feel that feeling you get when your kids all leave the house because we will always have our beautiful little Sadie girl.
Stef, I hear you on the emotions. That was a great post. I want to know this site! You're a great mom and your kids are awesome! I just love them to death. they are always so great in primary. Each one of them like you said has a great personality and is just too cute for words! Keep up the good work Stef. You're a good example as a mother to me.
