As usual, I've been super busy, super tired, and wanting to blog!




First, Cruz turned 4 on Saturday! I can't believe how fast the last 4 years have went by. I can't believe everything we have went through in the last 4 years, and I just have to say thank you Jesus for being there for my family when I really thought no one was there.



We had. Cruz a party at the park Saturday. Normally his birthday or the day we have his party on is usually pretty, often hot. Of course, you can't trust this good ole East Tennessee weather, and Saturday was freezing. The sun didn't shine. It was a big ole 40 degrees. Cruz pushed Memphis into the lake. Memphis is now on antibiotics and breathing treatments. He {Cruz} told me he had the best birthday, and he got everything he wanted for his birthday.



Today, while heading to the grocery store, Cruz says, "mommy, I can't wait to go to school." I got teary eyed and said,"why". He says, "because I am excited." I will miss that little many like crazy next year when he goes to school. He also told me today he couldn't wait for the baby to come. Then I said I think it's going to be a girl.



Second, Memphis is really into eating at the table and praying for his food. Which is a good thing to be into. :) He likes to say the prayer himself. It goes like this, "dear Lord, thank you for this food. Help those who doesn't have any. Amen." How sweet is that?! Yesterday, while at the dr. the receptionist ask me when was he going to return to school as she was making out his excuse, and before I could give her an answer, he says(without any hesitation),"Monday, Jack." Needless to say, everyone cracked up. He wants Uncle Si from Duck Dynasty, to come his his birthday party and this his papaws probably have his phone number. lol



Third, I just want to say how thankful I am for my healthy children. I love them oh so much. Often times, I get so busy and I forget to count my blessings.

My little Cruz will be 4 in 2 more days! I can't believe it. He is growing so much. He's calmed down, a little. He's just so funny. Last week we were doing arts and crafts and he had the little safety scissors trying to cut off his private. Yep. I freaked out. He talks about being a big brother, and the way he says big brother is so cute. He currently likes, Mario, Wall-e, Buzz Lightyear, wearing house shoes and long sleeve shirts(he thinks short sleeved shirts are to small for him lol). In his earlier days I thought I wouldn't survive to see him turn 4. I really thought he'd drive me crazy. Although, some days I still think that I just can't believe how quickly these last 4 years have passed. He'll be going to school next year, and I can't believe it. He's to tin-tin(tiny) to go to school. I'll miss him like crazy when he starts. Liam Cruz, you'll always be my tin-tin baby, and I'll love you always!

This Pregnancy

I haven't really posted alot lately, especially about this third and final pregnancy. It's alot different this time. Of course, all pregnancies are different, but this one is exceptionally different.

First of all, it's my third. Probably my  last. With both Memphis and Cruz, I felt like I needed another one. Not feeling that this time. I was extremely sick in the beginning. Luckily, I only had one trip to the E.R. and no stays at the hospital. I have stayed thirsty. Drinks are what make me sick.

Second of all, this baby's very active. More active than the other two were. Hopefully, he will calm down when he gets out. ;)

Third of all, he has a marginal cord insertion. What's that? I really don't know. All I know is that when the cord attaches to the placenta it should attach at the center. His attached near the edge, 1.98cm away from the edge. I will be having more ultrasounds with him. More than likely he'll be little when born, but should be healthy and make it to full term.

Even though he's my third little boy, I love him with all of my heart and can't wait to have him in my arms. I can't wait to see his two big brothers with him!

Maverick Hayes, I love you to the moon and back!
