Update

Thank you all so much for all of your prayer!!! They really helped to calm my fears today.

I met with my midwife this afternoon and all is well - no organs are falling out of me. Wahoo! This is definitely TMI...but I'm going to tell you anyway. Apparently delivering 9lb baby in 7 minutes wreaked the muscles. So instead of being nice and tight on the inside they are loose and a little low making me feel (and look) like something is coming out. She said the large baby coupled with carrying my 18lb toddler around all day and getting pretty much no rest since the first week Hannah was born. She showed me several pictures in a few medical books to reassure me that everything was normal. She sent me home with a prescription to do 20 kegals we every time I begin to nurse Hannah and 20 when I'm done, as well as 20 any time I have to pee, when I open the refrigerator, when I wake up, and when I go to bed. That's a whole lot of kegals! She said that should help tighten things up. Hopefully at my 6 week check up next Thursday things will already look better.


So now that that's out of the way...Hannah Clare's birth story to come next!

Prayers Needed!

I had planned on finally posting Hannah's birth story today since she's already 1 month old. However, instead I'm begging for your prayers.

I have an appointment at 3:30 tomorrow. I won't go I to the gory details but there is a chance I either have a collapsed vaginal wall or uterine prolapse. To say I am terrified is an understatement. I've been instructed to be on bed rest as well as not lift anything...nearly impossible with two little ones. Any prayers y'all have would be so helpful. I'm trying not to panic...unfortunately I'm failing miserably.

I'm working on it!

I swear Hannah's birth story is coming! It's pretty much done...just needs a little work. However in the past two weeks we have dealt with some insanity.


Two days of a screaming one year old with a 102.5 fever send us to After Hours Pedi. Diagnosis - Nasty ear infection. I felt like mother of the year making her wait so long.


Begin antibiotics.
Very next day she breaks out in a rash.


Stop antibiotics to determine if it's an allergy or Roseola.


Rash goes away and fever doesn't return so we assume Roseola.


Same one year old then cuts 3 teeth in 2 days! THREE!!!


Easter Sunday mystery rash reappears.


Monday the rash is so bad I take her into the pediatrician thinking she has measles or some horrible disease.


Diagnosis - Amoxicillin allergy with a hypochondriac mother.


Oh, and during all of this my husband had a nasty cold. Annnd I've developed a wicked UTI (yes I just shared that on the Internet).


Did I mention I just had a baby 2 weeks ago?


So in the meantime, here's some iPhone pics to hold you over. :)
Someone turned 1 just 2 days before her little sister's birth.




Suddenly in an instant she turned into a toddler.




Welcome Hannah Clare!
