Wow the weeks is almost over
My babies...wait im sorry. My Daughter and Son (lol) are enjoying their first week of school! They both like their classes and teachers. Guess the only thing im worried about with Kai is that he may not be making friends..i know it will just take some time. And honestly i kinda hope that he doesnt..if the kids act anything like their moms (and i know this is judgmental) then i may not want him hanging out with them.
Reason i say this is because...living in the Hills has its disadvantages..the people up here (more so the women) dress to the 9's just to take their kids to school, they also flaunt their expensive jewlery and sunglasses and cars. And here i am in my 10$ tank from target driving my astro van. Im sooo cool with not befriending any of the parents...(wispering) "I think one of the moms wants to make me her project." Frankly im scared, but there is a light well a dim light at the end of the tunnel...i saw a ghetto woman picking up her 1st grader!! lol I was so excited that I had to text my mom and sister to say someone looked more ghetto than i did!! hahahaha i know im bad.
Im so proud of myself that i have been able to wake up for the past 3 days between 4am and 5:15am, this morning tho blessed mark woke me up lol...and here i am updating my blog at 9:45pm like a dummy lol still have one more morning of earlyness. Bought the kids some special treats to go in their lunches. Cant wait for them to get them. Ok, im off for today, more to update later :)

The Day Before School
My word! Has the time really come?! My only daughter is going into 1st grade!!! My wonderful (yet dorky) son is going into Kindergarten, his first year in elementary school!! Where did the time go? It was just yesterday that i was pregnant with them, and now they are officially enrolled in school!!! Looking forward to taking tons of pictures of them in their school outfits, new backpacks, and smiles on their faces!
So as of right now I'm enjoying my cup of coffee, watching Golden Girls, and enjoying the peace in the house. In 10-20min I'm going to make oatmeal for the kids, wake them up and have them eat... i was supposed to have this schedule down by now. To bad baby Wyatt had other plans with my body so iv been trying to sleep in as much as i could! Wonder who's bright idea it was to have the whole school start on a early day...yes that's right a early day. School starts at 7:50 for ebbs and 10:25 for Kai, and they both get out at 1:10pm..now here is my issue.. I have to pick Kai up at his classroom door, and i have to get ebony..cant be in two places at the same time! Sigh going to take them by the school today hopefully i can get ebony to remember where her brothers room is so on Wednesdays she meets me by the kindergartners room.
Sigh, I'm such a happy momma right now. So proud of my kiddos, all three of them :)

Developmental Analyasis
Wednesday morning mark and i (yes MARK and i!!!!) went to raidens developmental appointment. All CHD babies get refered to check how they are developing. Because of the surgeries there are high chances that their development would be slowed. I understand why we needed to go and was happy to go, any help for ray is a blessing.
Well we get there and he knew right away it was another Dr office! lol started crying soon as they wanted to weigh him (my fat 18lb baby!!) We get into our room with the one way mirror which at first didnt bother me, but as they went on it bugged the crap out of me! There were 2 drs and 4 med students back there evaluating him/and more importantly us!
The first dr we spoke with was nice, just getting general information on how he interacts at home, his schedule with meds/feeds/sleeping. All things i expected to happen at the appointment. Then came in the other woman. She was nice the whole time (think thats what bugged me) but in my house when we want something from the kids we ask "can i have that please" we say it to ray as well....this chick was all "gimme that, give it to me" i looked at her like she was crazy. Ray didnt hand it to her either, soon as mark asked him "can i have that please" he handed it to him and let go. I rolled my eyes at her (she was writing something down) so she didnt see but im sure the drs behind the mirror did LOL
She then handed him a block the size of his hand and wanted him to stack them!! Really! The size of his hand, i can see a block 2x's that size him stacking but not something that can fit in his mouth...and that bothered me that she handed him somethin so small!! But again i held my tonge. She even gave him a crayon and pice of paper...now, im sure there are some 9month olds that are extreamly advanced and this would be no biggie for them, but Ray has a older sister and brother who leave crayons on the floor a lot...i dont let him touch them due to him choking on them eating them exct.. so again eyes rolled lol
Finally when the last Dr came in she let us know that for his age that he is doing great and doesnt need any extra assistance. Sure he isnt crawling, but his leg strength is point on he can stand as long as he is assisted and when he is on his tummy he puts all his weight to his butt and legs just wont go anywhere lol
So to me overall it was a great appointment. He doesnt have to go back till right before his 3rd surgery and then after the surgery!
Im so proud of him, and myself... i feel bad that i dont have enough energy to play with him the way other moms can (if it were their only child). But when i look at the larger picture, I am able to take care of every need he has, im able to take care of ebony (which is another big job lol) and kai! And to remember to eat for myself and stay hydrated. I know mark wishes i felt better so that more around the house got done but i know overall hes proud of me too!
Motherhood is hard, but im sooooooo glad that i am a mom. If it was just me and mark no kids i think my life would be sooo boring, the kids have brought us closer together. Im so glad that i found mark, our relationship is wonderfull...we know what the other is thinking, the kids make us stronger especially raiden!

6 weeks has flown by
Cant believe that just 6 weeks ago raiden had his second open heart surgery! Well today 6 weeks later i get to finally hold him under the arms LOL i cant believe how incredibly good he is doing. Our family is growing so fast, need to better budget our meals, raiden is going to be eating table food soon, the baby will be here in 2-3 short months. Looking forward to all that is ahead but budgeting for everything is getting hard LOL

9 months old
I cant believe that 9months ago i was told that my son may not survive life. That my precious baby boy has less than 50/50 chances at life. And yet here we are 9 months later and 2 open heart surgeries later and here sleeping next to me is my raiden!! I am so thankful for all that god has given me, so happy that i was given such a wonderful gift. Thanks to raiden my life has been put back into perspective, things that i thought were important, arent anymore. Making sure that my kids get the best out of life and live their lives as happy as i can make them is all that matters to me now. I need to do better and letting them know about Jehovah God, letting them know that its threw him that all is possible, like their little brother still being here with us today.
Sitting here now just typing that makes me want to cry because sometimes i dont feel worthy of such a great responsibility :) but i know that ray, ebony, kai, and even wyatt were given to me for a reason. Im sooo thankfull for that. They are the reason i live and breath.

Its only been like what a month! LOL
Its been so long since iv been able to get onto my account! The laptop has been down, and i couldn't remember my id, password from the main computer! Sigh...all is good tho! Im so proud of us. Raiden has been doing soooooooooo good. Since his surgery he has done nothing but get better and better! He really has shown his personality since the surgery as well, and even his apatite has increased! Before he was eating maybe 2oz of food 3x's a day. Now he is eating 4oz of food 3xs a day with snacks!!! This kid is a total porker! But i love it! hes in the 50% for his age in height, but a lil under in weight but still average for his age!!! Im sooo proud of him! I know hes behind tho cuz he still cant sit up by himself but we are working on that.
The kids start school in just 4 short weeks!! I have to get them both backpacks and lunch boxes! School supplies and get a lunch plan ready...if i dont have a plan i dont know how im going to keep things organized once school starts! Now that they are starting school i cant believe that soon the baby will be born! I have to get our schedule together, i have to get this house more together! Everything has to be as close to perfect as possible so that when baby gets here there wont be to many surprises.
