End of blogs and baby news

It's been a little bit since I last posted but honestly, I'm getting bored with this blogging thing. It seems somewhat pointless.

I'm not really sure my life is even interesting enough to have a blog. So I'm thinking I will slowly shut this site down. But first, I have to go through the entire blog and possibly save some of the posts that I may want to remember, like the ones when I was pregnant with Corbin and any other of interest to me. Until then, I may still post now and then, but just out of pure boredom.

The only thing I really have to say right now (at least that I can remember) is that this new kid inside me is wearing me out. I'm exhausted and all I can think about is sleeping. Sleeping and eating. Oh, and not throwing up.

I recently received news that my tests results all came back good. The baby is all healthy and is a low risk for down syndrome and some other stuff. So I'm super happy about that.

We still haven't found out what he/she is but because I am sick all the time and it seems to be stubborn, I'm guessing it is a girl. The doctor who did my ultrasound in Raleigh agrees. And so does Allen. I'll give it a few more weeks and then give it my official guess. My official guess with Corbin was wrong. I was sure he was a girl too!

Another Steph update

So, I haven't been up here much. I don't know why. I've been just dealing with a lot and it's hard to manage all this baggage without anyone to complain to. And I don't want all these blog posts to be all depressing and stuff. Seriously, no one reads it as it is. I may lose some of the 5 followers I have if I were always sad and mopy.

BUT, I do have something good to talk about.

Stephanie is doing much better and I am super happy about that.

She's been out of the hospital for a while now and is home and doing great!

I finally saw her a week or so ago and she was her usual self, although she's still a little under the weather. But she is getting better everyday and I am so thankful.

What a crazy two weeks that was!

So, if you prayed, thank you. And if you didn't, well that's fine too. I still love you.

First Birthday

I haven't posted in a while. I guess I just don't feel the need or the desire or the motivation or whatever. Maybe I just don't care about this blog anymore. I'm not sure it's really serving any purpose.

But anywho, Corbin celebrated his first birthday recently. It was, all in all, a good day. We made it through without any drama and I'm thankful for that. My family's party was the day we told everyone the big news about being pregnant. We had bought a shirt for Corbin that kind of broke it to them. He opened that present last and I think it's safe to say everyone was shocked. Still trying to figure out if it was a good shocked or a bad shocked.

My friend Cindy helped a lot with the Elmo decorations and stuff. We made two Elmo fruit trays, had some other cute things and I know if it were left up to me, I'd be in trouble. I am definitely thankful for Cindy!

We took Corbin to the NC Zoo on his actual birthday last Wednesday. A stupid tropical storm was coming through NC that day but luckily it didn't get much of the Asheboro area. God was looking out for us for sure! We had fun. We saw every single thing there and Corbin seemed to enjoy it. I managed to have a good day too and wasn't sick any that day. But at the end of the day, my feet were killing me. We probably walked 5 miles, up and down hills. I thought I was going to die before I made it to the car. But it was worth it!

I'm still in disbelief my child is one. I mean, wasn't it yesterday, seriously yesterday I gave birth to him? And now, not only is he one, but we have another one on the way!

We had to really work our butts off to make sure Corbin had a good birthday. We are very tight in the money department right now but we are managing. We're cutting back, trying to pay off some things, all while making sure Corbin gets what he wants and needs. So we really scraped and saved to make sure we could do what we wanted for his birthday. In the end, as usual, God provided for us.

It's hard to believe God is so good to my family. I know I don't deserve it but I'm thankful none the less.
