Still can't wrap my brain around this April Rose thing..

I even dreamed about it last night.

Makes me feel sick.

I couldn't help getting wrapped up in it because as far as a Trisomy mom it looked like she was beating the odds. She was going to get to met her baby alive where as most get a death certificate or something like what I got.




A picture of all my daughter's chromosomes. That right there is the "fatal animoly" or what made my daughter " incompatible with life".

She got to hold her baby while a lot of us have to have the baby removed from our wombs...because it doesn't realize the baby isn't alive anymore.

Her "B" was getting to say good bye to her baby. When most mothers babies are born still or they miscarry in the second trimester and you are like me no death certificate because you aren't to 20 weeks yet so you get somewhat of an autopsy report. An autopsy report for a baby was technically not born and didn't die.

Ugh.

The whole thing makes me want to throw up. It makes me want to cry for all the women who cried with her when the baby was born. Who prayed for "April Rose" every night. That hoped that she would get a few precious hours,days,moments with her daughter.

I think what makes it even harder is she presented herself as a woman of faith. She had one day a week where she posted prayer requests. She said she needed help sorting through them. I even emailed and said I would help.

Now the blog is deleted as are the names and stories of all the people in need of prayer.

I realize that "B" needs prayer still.....it just breaks me heart that she was out for the money she was making through her blog and didn't even think of the people behind the computer, their stories and their real losses.

I will write a more upbeat post later. Sorry to bum you out.

I do realize that my baby was special from the moment of conception. Jesus never intended she have an earthly life but it still makes me sad. I still think about her and my other angels everyday. I wonder if she is the only daughter I will ever have.

Ugh.

What makes a person make up a baby who has a deadly birth defect??

Not me!

Not much going around here. Just got on to see an Update on Little April Rose...it find out that it is more than likely a fake....it literally makes me sick. Just google "April Rose Fake" and you get all the details.

I was invested in this as I have lost a baby ( a little girl) to Trisomy 8. Why would you lie about something like that!?

It is beyond sick to me. There are so many people who have lost children to a Trisomy,a cord accident, a heart defect etc ....why knowing that these are the people that are more than likely reading your blog would you lie to them....are better yet how could you lie to them.

The blog is now gone. So sad. Makes me feel queasy to think about. I prayed and prayed for them that they would get to met her alive. I guess the "mother" needs more prayers now as she is mentally ill. Pray for "B"...she needs more prayers than we could have known.

In other news...I am sick again. Throat infection,fluid in ears, bronchitis and some asthma issues....fun stuff I tell you :< I wish I could just feel normal.

What is going on with all of ya'll?


Onto something lighter.




It wasn't me...I repeat wasn't me who gave in and feed her child a hotdog...instead of the chicken and dumplings I fixed...I would never.

It wasn't me who didn't even blow dry her hair this morning...now that poor lady has a a little bit of a fro...I would never.

I did not turn off the "Meet the Sight Words" movie after watching it for the 800th time. I wouldn't let my kid watch tv...and I sure wouldn't turn off somehting educational.

I repeat...am not looking forward to summer school for Houston....that wouldn't be motherly.

It isn't me...who still hasn't ate supper...who in there right mind would wait so long to eat?! Not me ;)

It isn't me...no not me that is slightly obsessed with Adam Lambert...that would just be .......silly. Not me.

If only I got a paycheck....:P Be real I DARE you.

**spell check isn't working so I am am saying **sorry** in advance:P








I swear sometimes it feels like I get more done in a few hours as a stay at home mom than some people do in a whole day. I do admit that there are some things I can't do do to the arithis in my hands, I can't do heavy lifting and I have to work thirty minutes rest thirty minutes...so it does take me a lot longer and there is still plenty for Jeremy to do when he gets home :P

Boo for him.


A day in the life so far.....

Wake up get dressed.

Start a load of laundry.



***I am dying...and not wanting to show the laundry room at all*** Cringes**

Set out Houston clothes for the day.

But some muffins in oven.



Houston likes them crispy...**whispers so do I**

I will admit they **gaasp** aren't homemade...but they are organic. I am going to be real and admit the muffins aren't from homemade unless it's the weekend.

Don't judge me ;)


Wipe down the counter.


Again...don't judge me all that stuff in that container are things I will use today. It gets cleaned out DAILY I promise :)

Then wash dishes...I KNOW it looks like a ton but they are dishes from last night plus the ones I didn't think the dishwasher got clean enough...


Then wipe off the toaster.

I don't put the dishes in a stranner because I don't like to leave it out :P

Can we say




She sit above my sink for a reason....yeah...OCD at it's finiest.

So I let the dishes drain some them dry them...and put them away.

So then I get Houston up.

We consult his board.



Get dressed.



Eat.

I let him eat on the coffee table this morning. While I am folding laundry. Bad mom.

So then I have to wipe down the coffee table.


Then go over the floors.

Wipe down the walls...where Houston has touched with grimy hands.



Wipe down the tv.



Dust.




Decide what to make for lunch.




Can't believe that I am only half way done with the day.

But my house smells like...



Now it is time for




Sight words....they seriously work...he can read some basic sentences..

Will you share your day with me? The good bad and the ugly?? I dare you ;)
