Update!

Hey everyone! I haven't posted in almost a month, can't believe how much time flies! I've just been so busy with the babies and just life in general! Chrissie and Julie will be 7 weeks old tomorrow, I can't believe how big they are :) We have had them for almost 4 weeks now, and I just can't imagine life without them! The kids started school a while back, and they love it! Tristan and Colton have so much fun at school, Ryan likes seeing his friends, and Blake really doesn't care about anything. I miss Brielle so much, but she got married in the past month, found out she's pregnant, and even adopted a little baby! I'm so proud of her and how she matured in the last few months :) She is 20 and her husband Jasper is 21! Anyway, life has been great but busy. I did take the kids off school 2 weeks ago (their school is very flexible, they did there lessons on the trip) and took them all to the beach! We didn't go far or anything, we have our own beach house about 4 hours away on the coast of Cali. It was such a great time, I brought my work with me and Danny was able to take off 3 days! It was upsetting he couldn't take off the whole week, but he did the best he could. We left Sunday after church, of course we would never miss church! Duh. We arrived after dinner, we got dinner at Olive Garden on the road! While I unpacked, the kids swam in the pool until about 8 when I had to get the little ones in bed! Since we were on vacation, they all could stay up much later and it wasn't a problem :) Monday, we went to the beach for the day! We left around 10am and back around 4pm. We had lunch on the beach, we bought really good sandwiches at a stand nearby! The kids had so much fun splashing, playing, building sandcastles, and relaxing with me and the babies! It was a great day :) We ate out at a diner, and went to bed early because we were going to get up early to go to Six Flags! We left the house around 6 Tuesday morning and arrived at 7 right when it opened. We spent the morning in the little kids section with rides such as the small roller coasters for children and such. After lunch we went to the main section of the park and rode a lot of the main rides! I necessarily didn't, but Danny and Blake, with Ryan sometimes, did a lot! Wednesday and Thursday we just hung around the house/pool/beach, not necessarily doing anything superb exciting, but definitely still a relaxing and enjoyable vacation! We left Friday morning for back home, and spent the weekend doing nothing! This past week the kids did go to school, duh, of course! I worked, A LOT, because I had been slacking a little bit on our vacation! I need to earn enough money to support my family, duh. Anyway, I promise I will try to post a little bit more once I get into the swing of things, what with piles of work, plus house work, the babies, overall my kids, it just takes a lot of energy to just survive and push through it all! :D But I wouldn't change it for anything in the world, I love my family and love my life even more :)

Struggles!

Hey everyone! Some of you have been asking for me to talk about weird things throughout the day, so today I am going to talk about my pee issues today! This morning when I woke up all of the toilets were taken, so I panicked because I thought I was going to pee my pants! So I sprinted down the hallway, which caused the pee to dribble out because of the movement of my legs! I didn't want to make a mess so I stripped and squatted so it wouldn't run down my legs! After that, I put my thong back on and went into the kitchen to get a mop to clean up the pee! Turns out Tristan slipped in it, poor guy. I got him in the bath, where he had to pee but just went in the bath! No harm done, because there was already water in the bath! Then I just spent my morning normally and had lunch and all! Oh BTW the kids had off from school today. After lunch I had to go again, this time poop! It was bad, it felt like it was going to come out, but the bathrooms were taken up, again! So I ran outside, pulled my pants/thong off, and squatted at the tree and let the poop fly! When the kids saw it later, I blamed it on our puppy. A few hours later I had to pee bad but I was in the living room and knew I would never make it to the bathroom, so I stripped and peed in the potted plant in the living room! I guess it looked like I was having fun because Blake pulled off his pants and joined me! How amazing, bonding with my boys :D

Update!

Hey everyone! Today Chrissie held her head up on her own! Such progress :) They are 5 weeks and 3 days old today! I'm so proud of my baby girl! So, I have a lot to talk about. Miranda (Blake's girlfriend) went to the doctor today and got an ultrasound and everything. Turns out she isn't a month and a half, like she thought, but actually 3 months! I was so surprised, I didn't know Blake and her had dated that far back! But they only have been dating for 2 months, so the baby isn't Blake's! I'm really relieved, I knew it was going to be tough! She got a DNA test, and the baby is her ex-boyfriend Zach's baby! Just so glad it's not Blake's baby :)
Also, I have some bad news. Brielle lost her baby! I'm upset about it, because it's a little different than Blake's situation! She is almost 19 years old, and I wish she would have had her baby! She loved him/her so much, that I could tell when she came to visit. Brielle is really struggling right now, I don't know if she will be okay! I really hope she will be fine, I'm planning on visiting her tonight! My plane leaves at 10, right now I'm in the airport waiting room, boarding in a few minutes! I think she really needs the comfort of a mother.

Issues at the Pool!

Hey guys! Last night, we went to our friends pool! We are allowed to use it when they aren't home and all, but we can't get into their house or anything, just the pool. So on the way there, Colton had to pee! He could barely make it till we got there, and almost peed his pants! He just stripped and peed in the bushes, though. Part way through swimming, Tristan had to pee too! Water just makes you have to go a lot. He refused to use the bush, because Colton already went their and the ground was probably wet with pee! So, he cried until I went to the car and brought out a old thermos, so he peed in that and dumped it on the ground! The rest of our time was great, we played Marco Polo and Guess that President! Such fun pool games. But then, the ride home was awful! Right after we started the drive, Blake had to pee and said it was so bad he thought he was going to pee his pants, seriously! We were on the highway and all so we couldn't pull over, and he was serious! So I found a plastic cup on the floor, so I handed it to him and he stripped, peed in it, and dumped it out the window! Watching him pee, Ryan had to go so he did the same thing! Half-way through our drive home, I had to pee too, really bad! I seriously thought I was going to wet myself if I couldn't go right away. So I unbuckled, shimmied my pants off, and peed in the plastic cup! It was a little tricky, considering I'm a girl and all that, but it wasn't impossible! So I dumped it out and window and put the cup back on the floor! I'm sure our peeing cup with definitely come in handy in the future ;)

School!

Hey everyone, school has started for the Davis family! Yesterday was our first day. Blake goes to Middle School, and his bus comes at 7, his school starts at 7:40! Ryan's bus comes at 7:45, and I drive Colton to Pre-K at 8! Kayla (our babysitter) comes at 7 so she can watch Tristan and the babies while I drive Colton, so it's a little easier to me! I got home from dropping Colton off, and nursed the girls and put them down for their morning nap! I worked until about 11pm, while Kayla played with Colton! At 11pm I nursed the girls, and Kayla made lunch/watched the kids while I worked again until 12, when she had to leave! I didn't get all of my work done, but I got close! After lunch, I played with Tristan for a little bit and then he had to get put down for his nap at 2, along with the girls! I worked some more, and I did some laundry and just cleaned! At 3 Blake got home and did his homework, and at 3:40 Ryan got home! I did have to go pick up Colton at 3:30, though, so Blake watched the kids, who were mostly still napping! When I got home the older boys did their homework, I nursed the girls and woke Tristan up from his nap, and he went to play with Colton! Then, I made dinner for us all, but while it was cooking Tristan was crying so I went to see what was up! Turns out Colton was hogging the toilet (again) and since Tristan was feeling self consious today and didn't want Colton to see him naked, he peed in the hallway! It was a mess to clean up, but next time I just told Tristan to use our second bathroom! After dinner, they watched TV and then it was time for our bedtime routine! Colton, Tristan, Blake, Ryan, and I all had to pee at the same time again, which wasn't good! Luckily, Blake went into the other bathroom. Colton got the toilet and Tristan got the trashcan. I thought I was going to be able to hold it but watching the pee come out of them I thought I was gonna pee my pants, like seriously, so I stripped and I peed on the floor, could't make it to the tub until I was half-way through my peeing! After that, we got ready for bed and I put them to bed and then Danny got home! We were about to go to brushing our teeth when we both had to pee! I let him use the toilet first, but like earlier watching him go made me need to go, immediately! So I began to pee as soon as he did, but I still had a thong on so I whipped it off mid-pee and just ended up peeing on the floor again! Oh well.

Amazing Weekend!

Hey guys, so I have a had a terrific weekend with my family! Other than Brielle of course, which is really upsetting :( I miss her so much, but I'm going down next weekend to see her! And she is coming down for a few days for her birthday, September 3rd, which I'm really excited about! She is going to be 19! Crazy, right? ;) So last night we went out to dinner as a family (first time since Juliana and Chrissie were adopted!) at 99ers! 99ers is a really yummy restaurant, similar to Applebees but I prefer 99ers because they have better food. I got a ceasar salad, Colton and Ryan got chicken tenders, Tristan got mac and cheese, Blake got parmesan chicken, and Danny got steak! Oh and the babies obviously didn't order any food. It was a great night, just to catch up with the kids because life will just get busier once school starts! Acually, I need to update you on that! Brielle is 18, turning 19 September 3rd, and she is a freshman in college! Blake is 13, he turns 14 November 27th and will be in 8th grade, Ryan is 9 and turns 10 April 15th, he is going into 4th grade, Colton is 4 and will be turning 5 December 25th, and will be doing full-week half day! Tristan is 2 and turns 3 May 24th, he will be going into Tuesday Thursday, half day Pre-school! It will be his first year of school, so I'm worried how that will turn out because he is very clingy and has trouble being without me! Today was an average Sunday, we went to church as a family and then went out to lunch at Super Salad! The little boys don't like salad, but since Danny and I love this place and he didn't have to work until 2, we decided to go there! They do have a kids meal with mac and cheese, chicken fingers and such so it worked out fine. When Danny left for work I played with Juliana and Chrissie while Tristan, Ryan, and Colton played outside! I am worried about school because I have a lot of work being the main editor of Madison Magazine, plus my website design business is expanding. So, I decided to hire a babysitter! Her name is Kayla and she will be here 7am-12pm, Monday Wednesday, Friday, so Tristan has something to do, and she can watch the babies for me when they aren't napping or anything! It's only for the morning though because it would be too much for her to be here all day long, but the morning should be enough time for me to get most of my work done, and then finish in the evenings when the kids are in bed! I'm really excited for the coming school year, because it might be easier during the day with most of my kids in school :)

Past Few Days!

Hey everyone! I haven't posted since Wednesday, it's just been pretty crazy around here! Thursday was just an average day, though. I woke up and got some work done after nursing the girls, and then when the little boys woke up I made them breakfast and played with them until Ryan got up and played with them! I had a really busy day at work because I had a lot of emails for my website design business and a lot of editing for my magazine so Blake watched the girls (punishment) while I worked until about noon and then I made lunch! I made grilled cheese on whole wheat bread, cucumbers, apples, carrots and dip, and some oreos! It was Tristan's favorite lunch! Colton's favorite lunch is pasta with sea salt (Brielle loves this one too!), grapes, oranges, and a chocolate chip cookie! After lunch Tristan had a really bad belly ache so he was on the potty trying to poop for about an hour when Colton said he had to go! Well Blake was in the shower and we only had 2 bathrooms, but Tristan wouldn't budge off the toilet! He said the poop was about to come! I thought he was trying to make Colton pee his pants. Colton started to cry and said the pee in his bladder was causing his belly pain, so he stripped down and went over to the trashcan and peed in it! I didn't mind, the boys pee in there all of the time! I also had to pee very very badly, I thought I was going to wet my pants it was that bad! So I stripped down and peed in the sink! While Tristan was pooping in the toilet, Colton peeing in the trashcan, me peeing in the sink, Ryan came in having to pee and when he saw all of us peeing/pooping he stripped down and peed in the tub! We really do need to get another bathroom. Thursday afternoon I just played with the kids and all until Danny got home! Blake was watching the kids so Danny and I went into the bathroom and stripped and got in the shower together for a little alone time, but we forgot to lock the door so Tristan walked in, having to pee, while we were locking lips! We didn't notice, so he was peeing and so was Colton, while Danny and I were in the shower! Like I mentioned, we really need more bathrooms!

Friday was just a long boring day, nothing much to talk about except that Brielle was here, which really helped me out! Turns out she's pregnant, not going to talk much on that subject check her blog if you want to hear about it! Today was another average day, not much happened! I was reading my favorite blog online, www.marvelouskaitlyn.blogspot.com and her family's pee routine seemed amazing, so we did it! Colton, Tristan, and I stripped and all peed at the same time in the tub! It was magical :)

The New Baby!

Hey everyone! You all have probably been wondering about Miranda and her baby, plus how the dinner with her and her family went! So we got to their house around 5pm, and we sat down for dinner. Miranda's face was red and blotchy I could tell she had been crying all day! I gave her a hug, and then sat down with Blake to eat! Blake had kinda not said anything all day, just sits there with a blank look on his face. Just in shock I guess! Well we started out the dinner with casual conversation, and then her dad cleared his throat and shot a glance at Miranda. So, she looked over to me and said she was deciding between keeping the baby or putting it up for adoption but wanted my opinion, same with Blake! Blake said he didn't mind which as long as the baby was alive and happy somewhere. I thought that was really sweet! I thought it would be best if they put the baby up for adoption because she is only 14 for heaven's sake and can't handle taking care of a baby! As soon as I finished Miranda started crying again so I was a little worried and looked at her mom and her mom said under her breath she wants Miranda to give the baby up too, even though Miranda wants to keep the baby! I was telling Miranda that if she really wanted to keep her baby she had to be up for the never ending responsibilities of a newborn, it wasn't like she could return it after a few days! She said tomorrow she is going to go look for a job to support her and her child, and that no one can force her to give the baby up because it is her and Blake's baby. I fully support her, because she can do what she wants! Plus, of course, it is my first grandchild :) We left their house around 7pm and since them we haven't really done anything, Blake played with the boys outside for a while and I made out on the couch with Danny! Juliana and Chrissie were in the living room with us and they obviously saw, but that's okay! Also, Tristan and Colton came in and watched for a little bit, they are quite fascinated by that type of thing! :)

Crazy Morning!

So far today has been so super crazy! I was woken up around 1am by the girls, which was normal, but their crying woke up Tristan! When he started crying I went to him and he said he had to go potty. So I took him to the bathroom, still nursing Chrissie in the middle of all this. He sat on the potty and just grunted for a little, he had to poop. I finished nursing Chrissie because I ran out of milk (sorry if TMI) so I went to the fridge to get her some formula because she didn't have enough! This happens all of the time, because I have twins, one baby is always eating formula! I try to switch it up though so it doesn't always happen with the same baby. So, after Chrissie was sleeping, I went to check on Tristan and he was crying on the potty! He said he had to poop and it hurt bad and he also had a pain in his belly. He said it was poop pain not throw up pain. So I just squat next to him until about 2am, reading him stories and trying to cheer him up! At 2:30 he finally pooped, at this point we were both exasted and I knew I would be up an hour later with the girls! So I got Tristan in bed, glad that was taken care of, and on my way to my room I heard noises from Blake's room! I knocked on the door, didn't hear anyone get up, so I went in only to find him and his girlfriend making out on his bed yet again! This time his hands were up her skimpy tank and she was just wearing underwear! He was shirtless in his boxers. I flipped yet again, I told him he couldn't sneak her in anymore! She left in a hurry, dressing on the way out. I locked the window from the outside so no one could get in, and I locked him in his bedroom. From yesterday's episode he was already grounded for a week, until next Tuesday, but because of this he will be grounded for another week yet! I just can't believe him. So by the time I was in bed it was 3am, and I was woken up at 6 by Tristan and Colton, they were ready to get up! So I made breakfast (oatmeal and fruit) and let them watch morning cartoons while I nursed the girls! I unlocked Blake's door at 7pm and gave him breakfast, and then had him watch the babies while I drove the little boys soccer camp at 8! When I got home I just got some cleaning/laundry done around the house while Blake watched the girls (punishment) until about 11 when I had to feed them again and put them down for their nap! I made lunch for us 2 (nutella and strawberry jam) with cucumbers and apples and then I went to my computer to get some work done! At 12 I heard a knock on the door, Blake was in his room so I went to get it! Turns out it was his secret girlfriend, her name is Miranda. Well Miranda was crying and said she really needed to talk to Blake. I felt bad, so I let her into his room except I was positioned outside of the closed door, listening. You won't believe what she told him! Oh, she is 14 by the way. She said, "Blake, I'm pregnant" at this point I barged in and completely flipped, he is 13 for heavens sake! She just cried harder and Blake kinda just stood there, not knowing what to do, so I told her to go sit in the living room while I freaked out at Blake, so angry at him! I sent Miranda home and grounded Blake for another 2 weeks, so he is grounded for a total of a month! I called Miranda's mom and Blake and I are going over to their house for dinner to just discuss things. After Miranda left I locked Blake back in his room and am now just on the computer, working and blogging!

Relationship with Danny

Hey everyone! I have been getting some requests to do this post about my love life and how Danny and I manage to keep up our close relationship together and find some us time with 6 kids, 5 living with us! The answer is it is very tough and tricky at times because of our kids ages and Danny's heavy work schedule, but we make it work! Our top rule is to have an hour together every day! Sometimes it doesn't happen, and that's okay, as long as we have time together. We spend out time together in many different ways! Some times we cuddle on the couch and have a heavy make-out session together. We do that in front of the babies, because they don't understand anything! But we don't do it in front of Tristan and Colton that often. Sometimes, when we just can't hold it in, we do make-out seriously in front of them, but the longest time they have ever seen us do that in a row is 47 minutes. So, not long! If we are watching TV with Blake we usually cuddle and I sit on Danny's lap and we just kiss the whole time, Blake usually doesn't mind and likes to get tips when he gets a girlfriend! Today we did figure out he has a secret girlfriend, so I'm not sure if he is using out kissing techniques on her, I hope not because sometimes we do some inappropriate things around him! But most of our us time is when we are in bed with each other, when we don't have to hold anything in! It's pure ecstasy, I love him so much and have him all to myself for hours each night! Sometimes the kids need things in the middle of the night, when we are sleeping, which can sometimes be awkward because we sleep naked for obvious reasons that I do not want to address here because I know children read my posts. So my kids are completely used to seeing Danny and I naked! It's not a problem for us, we are a very close knit family. And, to complete this post, I wanted to address one more thing! Once a week, on Danny's off day, we try to get all of the kids out of the house, either to friends houses or babysitters, because we love having alone time! When we are alone in the house we are usually naked, it's just a great way to express our love for each other. Always make sure to keep your relashionship with your spouse close knit, because it creates a positive environment for your children and provides them with great role models for their future marraiges! If you want me to talk more about my love life with Danny, just comment below :)

Fun!

Hey everyone! So yesterday was a fun but relaxing day :) I told you about the morning, but I stopped around 10am! At 10:15 am Juliana spit up a lot all over my new top, which was not the best! I put her in her playpen with Chrissie and went to go do laundry! I got my load in by 11:00, and then 11:30 I put all that in the dryer and did a load of the girls clothes! That was done by noon, so I took my laundry out of the dryer and folded that and put it away, and put the girls clothes in the drier! At 12:30 that was done so I folded and put away their stuff. All throughout this the little girls where just laying next to each other "talking" to me while I read a magazine and got a little bit of work done! At 1 I started off feeding Chrissie, burped her and put her down for her nap by 1:30, and then nursed, burped, and got Juliana down for her nap by 2! I did some editing work until 3, worked on emails for my website design company until 4:30, and woke the girls up from their nap and nursed them again and played with them for a little until 5, when I had to go pick the boys up from their camp! It was a 10am-5pm camp, lunch and dinner included! I picked up Blake from work right after that, he works long hours trying to earn some money! When I got home around 5:45 Blake watched the girls for me, which was really sweet of him! Times like these when I really miss Brielle and her help with my past little babies. Tristan and Colton were outside playing catch, I can't believe how they still have energy after a day of soccer camp! I started on dinner at 6:00pm, I made stuffed shells with green beans! While it was cooking I was texting Danny, he planned to be home around 8pm! At 6:30 Blake went outside to call the boys for dinner, while I got Chrissie and Juliana's carseat-chair into the kitchen so I could watch them while we all ate! We prayed, and then dug in! Dinner was over around 7pm, and the little boys went to watch TV with big brother Blake and I cleaned up dinner, and fed/burped the girls! They aren't eating baby food yet, they are still just drinking my breast milk, they are 4 weeks old! At 7:45 I went into the living room and watched a little TV with the kids and then at 8 Blake was on his computer in the living room, with one eye on the girls just in case they needed me or something! I gave the boys a bath, they still love taking double baths! Part way through this process, Blake called me so I told the boys not to stand up and only call me if there was blood or fire. So turns out Chrissie spit up from being fed and Blake wasn't sure what to do, so I cleaned her up and I heard some loud yells from the bathroom, so I ran down the hall onto the fall on my butt, slipping on one of their toys! I think I may have twisted my ankle, it was really sore and hurt a lot. But when I got into the bathroom I just found the boys, covered in suds, out of the bathroom, bare naked, Tristan sitting on the bathroom counter, peeing in the sink, and Colton, peeing in the toilet! I kinda freaked, wondering what in the world was wrong, and Tristan told me him and Colton both had to pee and Colton got to the potty first and Tristan had to go really bad so he climbed onto the counter and went in the sink! Why he didn't just go into the other bathroom, I'll never know, but whatever! So they were finished with their bath so I got them dried off, drained the bathtub, and got them all dressed and ready for story time at 8:30 until 8:45 when I put them to bed! They actually got to stay up late tonight, which was a treat :) Turns out Danny was held up at work, he wasn't home until 9, which was really disappointing for the boys since they didn't get to see Daddy all day. Blake went back to his room around 9:30, but I know he was up until about 11! I fed the girls one last time around 10, and Danny helped me put them to bed. Danny and I cuddled on the couch/made out for a while, sorry if TMI just telling about my day! :) We went to bed around midnight, happy to finally spend some time together!

Today, Tuesday, wasn't quite as busy! I was woken up a few times in the night by the babies, so I was tired, but Danny had off, which was a plus! I woke up at 7am with Tristan and Colton. I made waffles with fruit and whipped cream for them, and Danny took them to soccer camp at 7:30! Chrissie and Juliana woke up, crying and hungry, at 8 so I fed them, burped them, and played with them in their playpen until 9am when Blake woke up and I had to make him breakfast! He's 13, I think he should make his own breakfast, but he refuses. ;) I made him pancakes with butter and syrup! He retreated back to his room right when Danny came back at 9:15! We just made out on the couch again, sorry if TMI, for about an hour until Blake interrupted and told us he was walking over to a friends house! Then, I had to get some work done until about 11:30, while Danny played with the girls. After I made us lunch (ham and cheese with popcorn and brownies) I fed Chrissie while Danny fed Juliana! We have formula for times when I don't feel like nursing two babies! It sure is a challenge. ;) I put them down for a nap at 1, and then Danny and I did laundry and cleaned the house for awhile! When I walked into Blake's room to vacuum, I saw a disturbing sight! Blake! He was supposed to be at our neighbors house, but here he had stuck into his room with a girl of all people, and they were just making out on his bed, him without a shirt and she was wearing a mini-skirt and skimpy tank! I walked in there, so mad, and she left in a hurry and he kinda just hid in the bathroom while I yelled at him. Danny came in to talk with him while I went to the girls, because my yelling had woken them from their nap. I got them back asleep and worked on my computer until 4, when I headed out to pick up the boys from soccer camp! I got back at 5, and started dinner right away! We just had pasta and sweet corn. At 6, Danny fed the girls again, I was too tired to! I gave the little boys baths at 6:30, and I had to leave in the middle of their bath again because I had to go talk to Blake! He was just laying in bed, sad, because he missed his girlfriend. I didn't even know he had a girlfriend, apparently he has been sneaking out to her house for the past month! How in the world could I have missed that, I have no idea. But when I heard more crying form the bathroom, I had to leave in a rush! Colton was standing a few feet from the toilet, peeing on the wall, and Tristan was sitting on top of the trashcan! I freaked again, I hate having pee stains on the wall! It does happen a lot. I asked him why he didn't just pee in the toilet, but he said there was a spider on the seat and he really had to go! I had no idea why he didn't just pee in the tub or somewhere easy to clean up, but he thought peeing on the walls would be funner! I just don't understand him sometimes. And, Tristan was pooping in the trashcan, he had to go bad and since there was a spider on the toilet seat, he just went for the trashcan! I killed the spider, put Tristan on the toilet (luckily he didn't go in the trashcan yet) and cleaned up Colton's mess! That was done by 7:15, so right now the boys are getting dressed while I am in the living room, blogging! :)

Weekend Fun!

Hai guys! So this weekend was pretty fun, but busy. Thursday we just hung around the house, I was trying to get the babies used to everything, but they were doing really well! I originally thought I was going to call Juliana, Jules, but we decided she will go by Julie! Julie and Chrissie. Friday a few of my friends came by to meet Julie and Chrissie and they were little baby angels! So far, they have barely cried at all, and Chrissie only gets up 3 times a night and Juliana gets up 5! Such an improvement from my other babies. Friday night we went out to dinner, which was slightly frustrating because of the babies, but do-able! Friday night I skyped with Brielle, the first time she had seen the girls! She was so excited to see them when we visit the end of August. Saturday we actually drove down to the beach! We checked into the beach club around 10am, and got lunch there and went to the beach for the afternoon! Danny mostly played in the water with the boys while me and my babies were just under the umbrella. It was a great day! We went to dinner, and then shopped around the boardwalk for the evening! It's so different without Brielle, I miss my little shopping partner. But, it was still super fun! We woke up Sunday and went out to the beach early morning, and then had lunch and checked out! It was a super quick trip, but definitely worth the fun! Sunday afternoon I skyped with Brielle and got caught up on a TON of work while the babies napped, and then made dinner for everyone. Danny had to work all afternoon and evening and didn't get home until late :( This morning I was waken up at 3am with Juliana, she was spitting up and getting it all over her crib and me. Chrissie slept right through it though! Colton and Tristan are at a friends house, Blake is at work, so it's just me and the girls :)

Amazing Week!

Hey everyone! So I'm sorry about not posting all week, but I was in Ireland for a few days with my babies! Last time we talked it was Monday night on the plane on the way to Ireland! We arrived in the Dublin, Ireland Airport at 3am and by the time we got our rental car it was 4am and we got to our hotel around 5! Danny and I just slept until about noon, and then went out to brunch together at 1! We took a nap when we got back to the hotel before going out to dinner and shopping in Dublin! It was amazing, everything is so pretty! :) Wednesday morning we woke up early because we were both just so excited! We woke up around 6am and left our hotel at 7am, and got to Alana's house around 9am to meet Jules and Chrissie! They were so well behaved, they just smiling and cooed whenever someone spoke to them! Danny and I each held a baby for awhile and just talked with Alana about what she's gone through and visiting times! Alana really wants to visit her babies a lot, which will be tough. We did have one disagreement, though. Alana wants the babies to be brought up calling Danny and I uncle and aunt and making sure they know Alana is their Mommy. I highly disagree with that, we are adopting these babies and taking full custody of them, so why can't they believe we are their parents until they are old enough to understand adoption? It was worked out though, Alana can come to visit whenever she wants to (which won't be much, because she obviously lives in Ireland!) but I'm not budging on the parents thing. We had lunch with Alana and her parents, and then went back to the hotel to skype with the kids and show them Jules and Chrissie! They were napping, so they were extra special adorable :) I love them so much! Wednesday night we just chilled in the hotel and had dinner there, because we just wanted to spend time with our new daughters! Thursday morning we left for the airport around 6am, and our flight left at 10am! It was a 9 hour flight because we were flying into the wind and that just takes longer! During the flight the girls were angels, just sleeping or being a quiet little baby! We only had 2 seats though so it was a little cramped, but it worked out just fine! We arrived in LA at 7pm, where my friend Darla picked us up! When we got home everyone just wanted to see the girls, so we didn't do anything that night! Today was the same, just adjusting to life with two little baby girls, but I love it :)

Plans for the Week!

Hey everyone! So right now I am on the plane to Ireland to meet my baby girls! I am so excited, I can't wait to see them! We arrived at the airport around 4, and got through security and baggage by 6, and then we had about 40 minutes until boarding time! I skyped with the kids for a while, I missed them already! My friend Darla's husband is off work all week, so he is home with their kids and Darla is staying at my house taking care of my kids! They all know Darla pretty well, so it shouldn't be too tough on them. We boarded at 6:40 and the plane took off at 7! Right now it's almost 8pm, so we are about an hour into the 8 hour flight! I'm hoping to sleep a lot! Oh and I forgot to mention, Danny is with me obviously :) So when we arrive in Ireland at 3am, we won't get to our hotel until about 5am and we will most likely just sleep for awhile! We won't be able to meet our babies until Wednesday anyway. We don't have any plans tomorrow, just probably shopping and seeing some sights in Ireland! Thursday morning around 10am we are going to Alana's house, Alana is the 13 year old girl who had the girls! She really doesn't want to give up the babies, but its the only way. We will spend the afternoon with her at her house, and then back to the hotel with the twins! Our flight leaves Wednesday morning at 10am, so we will leave for the airport around 6am! We will arrive back in LA 7am, it will be a 9 hour flight because we are flying into the wind and that takes longer. Danny and I didn't want to make this trip really long, because we knew we would miss the kids and just want to get settled at home with the babies! :)

Weekend Fun! (BIG NEWS)

Hey everyone! So this weekend was actually pretty fun, if I can say so myself :) Saturday was a really relaxing day, I didn't have to work and just spent the day with my family and friends! I actually got to sleep in until 10am, because Danny was home and got the kids breakfast and ready for the day and all that because he thought I deserved a break! Don't I have the best husband :) We went to the Localist Cafe for lunch, which was really yummy! My friend Julia stopped by for a few hours in the afternoon to catch up with me and see the kids, because she hadn't seen me since Tristan was a newborn! She is a widow, her husband Jeff died a few years ago, but she has 4 kids and is engaged/pregnant! Her oldest is 14 year old Angela, 12 year old Dan, 9 year old Abby, and 5 year old Amelia! Her husband Jeff didn't even get to meet his daughter Amelia, he died when Julia was pregnant, right before she even found out :( But now Julia is engaged to Jared, and he is really sweet and all and she is even 7 months pregnant! That was one of the main reasons they decided to get married, the wedding is this fall after the baby is born. Back to my weekend! I made dinner for us, pasta, meatballs, and grilled cheese, and then we had a family movie night! The kids even got to stay up late! After they were all in bed, Danny and I just had some time together before we retired! Sunday was a very very exciting day! We went to church, which was fun, everyone was really nice to us and Adri was even mentioned in the service! We went out to dinner with our church friends and got home around 2. Colton, Tristan, Ryan, and Blake were playing outside when we got the phone call. Danny answered and turned white, I thought it was going to be bad news but it is fantastic news! We are adopting! So back when I had 6 miscarriages before Colton was born, Danny had put us on the adoption list! I didn't even know at the time, Danny had been meaning to surprise me with the news when we moved to the top of the list! Well, when we had Colton he completely forgot about it. But, we got a call saying we are at the top of the list for twin babies! I was completely surprised, almost passed out with the news. I was first so upset, because it was Adri's one week passing date and I didn't really want more babies. But then I thought it would be nice, and as soon as I saw pics of the babies I fell in love! They were born in Ireland, to a teenage girl was 13 and put them up for adoption. Here is a picture -

The larger twin in the left is Aibhlinn, (ave-leen) and the smaller twin on the right is Branna, (bran-na). They are both girls, you probably can tell by the flower headbands! They are 3 weeks old, as of yesterday! Aibhlinn and Branna are obviously Irish names, and we will not keep those as first names. The baby on the left will be Juliana (Jules) Aibhlinn Davis, and the baby on the right will be Crystal (Chrissie) Branna Davis! Aibhlinn means "longed for child" and Branna means "raven" in other words "beauty with hair as dark as a raven". I guess we'll see if those are true! 

So I am so super excited to meet my baby girls, we actually are leaving today! As soon as we talked to the kids yesterday and skyped with Brielle about it, we called back and told them we decided to adopt! We packed all last night and are leaving for the airport around 3pm for Dublin, Ireland! Our flight leaves at 7pm, and we will arrive around 3am! More details to come about our trip later :) Wish us luck!

First Week

Hey everyone! So this week has been the first without my 2 baby girls :( I'm so sad about Adri, and about Brielle. Of course, the situation with Brielle is different, but its still hard! I'm happy to know that she is having a lot of fun and enjoying life up in NYC, though! This week was typical, nothing very exciting! The little boys had tennis camp for the mornings, and Ryan had baseball camp for the mornings. And Blake worked three mornings a week, and the other two he was usually with his friends. It was just me around the house! That can be kind of depressing for me, because I would usually spend time like that with Adri or Brielle. But, I did catch up on some work! I had neglected it all weekend, so I really needed to get going. This summer, I already told you about our plans, we are going to our mountain house later this August with my family! It will be really relaxing and fun, which I am really looking forward too! This past Friday was Adri's funeral, though, so I just saw my family. I'm not really comfortable talking about that experience, it makes me really upset. The one even sadder thing was that Brielle couldn't make it! She didn't have class or anything, but had some meetings with school friends that she couldn't miss. It was awful! But anyway I will go back to posting regularly now since things are a little bit back to their normal routine. :)

Update

Hey everyone! I'm actually doing much better than I expected. Don't get me wrong, I'm still sad and depressed about Adri, but I'm finding ways to get through each day as it comes to me and not be useless and lay in bed all day because, as I learned before, that does nothing for you. If anything, it makes you worse! So I'm trying my best to stay positive and smile through the tears and be strong for the little ones, because they are sad too. We are not going to our lake-house anymore, we canceled that and are not sure if we will reschedule this summer or not. We have plans to make about the funeral and such! The funeral for my baby girl Adri will be this Friday evening. All of our family is coming in from Washington and PA to pay my respects. My parents already came down this morning! I missed my mom so much and it really helps to have her here with me again. We sent out invitations this morning. Invitations make it sound like a birthday party or happy event, so let's say its more like a notification letter telling people she's gone and hoping they can make it to the funeral. Overall, everyone has been more than kind to us! People from our church family have been dropping of meals, baked goods, and just gifts all day which makes me feel better that people care about me and our family in this tough time! I'm going to wrap up this post with a promise to keep you all updated on how everything goes in this family :)

Bad News

Hey everyone. I have terrible news. Adri is gone. On the way to the airport she still was very sick, high fever, crying, coughing, and throwing up. And then when we got to the airport and went through security and all and were about to begin boarding, she had diarrhea. It was quite a mess for me to clean up! Well we got onto the plane, and she was all crying and it hurt me to see her so sad and upset. She even threw up on the lady next to us, which wasn't pleasant! She didn't mind though, and even helped me with Adri. Around 6pm, Adri was coughing so bad she was having trouble breathing! I called for assistance, and the flight attendent asked for doctors on the plane. There was one, and he examined Adri as best he could and said it didn't look good. I was so scared, but trying to comfort my baby as best she could in what could be the last hours of her life. Around 8pm, she was even worse! The doctor said it was all getting worse, and her pulse was slowing down which was not a good sign. She was having trouble taking breaths, and kept throwing up and coughing up blood. And then, around 9pm, the doctor said she was probably not going to make it unless in intense hospice hair, and even if she was on oxygen there was a low chance of survival. I was so upset, sobbing but trying to cherish the last moments with my baby girl. At 9:47pm, Adri took her last breath. I was freaking out, sobbing and wailing and disturbing the adults and scaring the little children. The flight attendent moved me to a more private place to mourn until the plane landed at 10pm. As soon as I got off the plane, I was a mess. I was still clutching my dead baby girl, who was cold, white, and still, eyes still open. When I saw Danny, I ran into his arms, sobbing and wailing about my baby. Danny flipped, couldn't believe what had happened. We drove straight to the hospital and gave them our dead baby, and they examined her and just explained she just had a bad immune system that allowed deadly viruses inside of her, and even if she was hospitalized, there was nothing they could have done. I was a mess still, and Danny and I drove home to break the news to the kids, the 4 kids at home. Right now we are still in the car, and I will let you know how the kids take it.

Bad News :(

Hey everyone, a little change of plans! Right now we are in the car on the way to the airport! Crazy, huh? Well, Adri was getting a lot worse, her fever went up and she won't stop crying! Also, she was coughing up blood, which really scared me! Victoria booked us 4 a flight right away, because Ella and Brielle seemed to be doing fine and the other girls were there to help them unpack! This time, we have a straight flight, from 4-10, we are almost at the airport! Well, I would really appreciate it if you all prayed for me and Adri in this time of need. I have already called Danny, and he called the doctor! Our doctor thinks it is a rare disease for newborns, hippilocation. Symtoms are high fevers, coughing up blood, diarrhea, and in serious cases, death.

In NYC (plus sick Adri)

Hey everyone! We are finally in NYC! Look on Brielle's blog for more details about last night, the plane ride, and today's plans! This morning Adri woke up with a light fever! I'm really scared, because this is the 3rd or 4th time she's had a fever since she was born. The doctors have done some basic tests, and they all have come out negative, plus of course they did many tests when she was born, just for procedure! So, that's why I have decided to go home tomorrow with Victoria and Ella instead of Tuesday, because I need to take Adri to the doctor! Hopefully they can run more tests, maybe have to rerun some, because I want to figure out what is wrong! I'm really hoping that its nothing serious :( I'll keep you updated!

Big Day!!!!

Today is the day Brielle is going of to college! I will miss my baby girl so much, but she is grown up now and can finally go live on her own :) We just left for the airport, we are all going! We are a little illegal now, hehe our car only fits 7 but we have 8 ;) Everyone wanted to come to say goodbye to us until Tuesday! We are all going to visit again though end of August, when Victoria's family is coming too, which is great! Right now I'm in the car blogging, and we will arrive at the airport in half an hour! It's so exciting :D

Vacation!

Hey everyone! :) So at the beginning of June, we did go to the beach for a week with my family, and you guys have been asking if that's all the vacations we do! Well, we go to our lake house and mountain house in August, which is always so much fun! Our lake town in in PA, about 2 hours out of Pittsburg, at Raystown Lake! Quite a drive for us, but only 4 hours for the rest of Danny's family, whom we share the house with! It's really sad because Brielle can't come this year, because of her college classes! We leave this Wednesday, July 31st, one day after Adri and I get back from taking Brielle to NYC! It's going to be hectic, but our lake house is always really relaxing :) We are just off the lake, on the beach, which is great! It's so different from the beach though, its not very full and the water is much colder! Another part of Raystown Lake is a waterpark, which the kids always love! There is even a little kids section, which is great for us. We get back the next Monday, August 5th. And then on Tuesday, August 13th until Monday, August 19, we are at our mountain house in Washington with my family! This year Danny can only come for 3 days though, because he used all his vacation days for our beach trip/lake house. My job is very flexible though so I can work while we are there! This coming month will certaintly be busy, with lots of activities, but definitely fun! :)

Busy Bees!

Hey everyone! :) I'm sorry I haven't posted for almost a week, the past week we have been so busy! Friday as I said Lindsey went back home and we had a nice relaxing, quality time day. Saturday we went to the park for lunch, the kids had a blast they hadn't been to the park in awhile. Sunday we went to church, all but me! As I have mentioned before I don't plan on taking Adri to church until she's at least a month or two, until her immune system is stronger. Sunday afternoon we went out to lunch at Java Jungle. Monday, we had a movie day! We hung around the house all day and watched movies as a family! Monday night we went out to dinner at Boom Burger. As you can see our family loves burgers! Tuesday we went swimming at our friend's house, the Johnson's. My 18 year old daughter Brielle and Victoria's 18 year old daughter Ella are going to college together in NYC! It's so exciting, they leave on Saturday! Adri and I are going along with Brielle to get her situated in her dorm, and Victoria and Ava are going with Ella, too! We are flying together on Saturday. Our plane leaves at 3, and then after dinner at 6 we land in Kansas. Then, at 8 our flight to NYC leaves, and we will arrive at 11pm, but by the time we get to our hotel, it will be past midnight. They won't check in Saturday, it is too late so they will be in the hotel with us! We will leave Tuesday afternoon then. Back to our week! Tuesday and Wednesday we didn't really do much, but today we went shopping with Victoria and Ella for dorm supplies! Brielle will be making a blog soon, I'll let you know what that is when it's done :)

Tips and Tricks for the Car!

Hey everyone! A few of you have been asking how I keep my 6 kids occupied on long car or plane rides. The answer is, with preperation and effort you can go for a smooth and comfortable ride! First, you should definitely pack a lot of snacks! Also candy, if you are okay with your kids having candy. I usually have a bag of snacks in the car in easy reach to myself or whoever is in the passenger seat to reach and pass bag to the kids. I find it easiest to bring a large variety and even ask the kids before hand what snacks they would like to have in the car! That way no one is stuck eating something they don't like and complaining how hungry they are. Secondly, bring activities! I usually have each of the kids bring a little bag of their own to keep with them filled with activities  I have used travel board games, like boggle and rummikub, but also little random things for the little ones to do. It works well! Just be sure that games to not have really small pieces that could dump onto the floor, requiring more clean up work for you! Also, I bring coloring books, mazes, connect-the-dots, word search, et cetera. Finally, talk to the kids! Maybe sing songs with them (this is not good for airplanes) or just play a simple game such as Guess What I'm Thinking Of or something similar! I sometimes even have the kids play madlibs with me. But most of all, just have fun! Don't get crabby and angry with the kids if they complain if they are bored, just being kind results in a fun family car ride!

Relaxing Quality Time!

Hey everyone! :) So yesterday afternoon nothing much occurred, we just relaxed at the house! I played with Adri and the little boys, and Brielle also played a game with them when she got back from work! Before dinner, I did some work in the office, and Lindsey went home, because Danny was going to get home at 7! He ended up getting home at 10, because he was tied up at the ball field. In case you forgot, he is the manager for the Los Angeles Dodgers! It is his version of heaven on earth :) After dinner, I gave the boys baths and put them to bed early, because they were both really tired! Brielle and I played with Adri and then I got a lot of work done when Danny got home and Brielle and Blake went to bed, and soon after Danny and I retired! Today was a fantabulous day! Lindsey came early (6am) and surprised me with a trip to the waterpark! Well not for me exactly, but for the kids! She said I earned a day of realxation :) So, since Danny didn't work today until late afternoon, we had the day to ourselvves! With Adri though, of course :) We lounged in bed all morning, playing with Adri, and when she took a nap we watched some TV. After lunch, we played with Adri some more and then when she napped again we had some quality time with each other :) The kids didn't get home until 4, and since Danny had to leave at 2:30, I had time to work in my office and play with Adri! Overall, it was a great day :) This evening, after dinner, a few of my friends stopped by with their kids to hang out! It was fun catching up with them, and they loved Adri <3 Their kids had a great time playing with mine, but they didn't stay for long because my boys were tired from their exciting day! They retired early, once again, and I watched some TV with Brielle and after she went to her room I, once again, got some work done and nursed Adri one last time before putting her down! All in all, a really good day :)

First Week at Home!

Hey everyone! So, I know I haven't posted since Sunday, but I've been having a fantastic week with my sister and my babies! :) So Sunday evening we had a fun evening with Danny's parents! They were just at our house, playing with the kids and all! It was so much fun to just catch up with them, since they live in PA. Danny's 4 siblings were going to come too, but they decided to see some LA sights! Since they have actually never been to Cali before! We always have been the ones to visit them for holidays, because that's where the whole family lives! They were all so happy for the excuse of the new baby to come and see us :) So Sunday night we all retired early, I was still getting used to waking up all the time with Adri! Right now, she usually wakes up 5 times, but I'm hoping once she's one month old she will be down to 3 times. Anyway, Monday morning at 8am my parents, grandparents, brother and his wife and kids came by to say goodbye! As I have mentioned in an earlier post, their bus leaves at 10:00am. It was really sad, having to say goodbye, but I knew I would see them soon! We are planning to go down to Washington for a week during thanksgiving break, but my parents usually come down a lot to see us! So by 9:00am they were gone, and Danny left for work. He wouldn't get back until 11:00pm that night, so it was a long day. I dropped the kids off (Brielle and Blake to work, Colton and Tristan to soccer camp) and so it was just me, Lindsey, Ryan, and Adri for the morning! Lindsey played with Adri and kept Ryan occupied while I did a major clean! I hadn't cleaned the house in forever, since we had a lot of company and a newborn! That felt good to get done :) And then I fed Adri while Lindsey drove down to pick up Colton and Tristan at noon, and took them out to lunch! Ryan went along for the ride/lunch, so it was great to have some one on one quality time with my daughter. I love her so much! <3 Turns out Lindsey decided to take the kids to the park for the afternoon, and then on the way home from there she picked up Brielle and Blake! So, I had a lot of time to work, since I really don't have any maternity leave! My job just doesn't really permit that. So around 3pm Lindsey brought all the kids home! I was still really busy working, so Lindsey took Adri for me and Brielle had craft time with the little boys while Ryan and Blake played catch outside! Around 6 dinner was dropped off, and we all ate and I fed Adri. We all just had a relaxing evening, and I got the little boys into bed/bathed by 7:30pm, Ryan in bed/bathed by 8:30pm, and had some time to myself with Adri and Lindsey! Blake and Brielle went back to their rooms around 10:30pm, and Blake can be up in his room until 11:00, but Brielle can be up until about 11:30, since it is summer time! I fed Adri around 9:00pm and put her to bed, and then Lindsey went home at 9:30, so I had an hour and a half to do more work until Danny got home! When Danny got home at 11:30 (he was running late) we both went to bed, only to be woken up many times with the baby! Only its quite worth it, because we both love her so much <3 Tuesday, the day was very busy! Danny didn't work at all until late, so he was home with me :) As was Lindsey! Danny dropped Brielle off at work at 9:00am and the little boys to soccer camp, while Lindsey played with Ryan and I took care of Adri and got some more work done. And then around 11:00am, Danny's family came by! It was a lot of people, but so much fun! I had to leave to pick up the boys at noon though. We had a fun family lunch, it was great to catch up with them all! They went back to their hotel at 3:00, and Danny went to pick Brielle up from work. It will be a relief when she turns 16 and can soon drive! :) But Danny's sister Samantha and her husband, John, stayed for dinner! As I have already mentioned, Samantha is pregnant with triplets and due on Friday! After dinner, she wasn't feeling well, so she took at nap on our couch before they were planning on leaving. But, she had severe stomach pains, and her water broke! She was having her babies!! Danny called 911 and got an ambulance  because she was crying out in pain and we weren't sure what was happening, she didn't look normal! She did have her babies safely, though. It turned out the one babies head was stuck, so they had to perform a C-section. But both her and her 2 boys and 1 girl are fine! She won't be able to go home on the plane on Thursday, though, she's going to have to stay here! But, her and her husband John decided they really want to move to LA! They have been contemplating it for a long time now, but thought it was best that they don't move the babies all the way to PA until they are a few months, and they don't want to stay in a hotel that long, they want to get settled! So all day Wednesday they were in touch with realtors and finally put an offer down, and were accepted this morning! Their home is in the same development as us, which will be fantastic :) They won't officially own the house until next Tuesday and when the final papers are signed, and will move in next Thursday! They are so super excited for this big step! They have decided to leave the babies in the hospital for a few days while they fly down to PA and pack up, they left this morning and are coming back Saturday morning, after everything is packed up and onto a moving truck, and all their things will be here hopefully the end of next week! It is a sudden, quick decision but they think it is the right one :) They also both found jobs here, John easily transfered to another branch of his company, and Samantha found a part-time at home psycologist. So, back to our week! Yesterday, Wednesday, was a pretty calm day, nothing much happened. We just chilled out at home and I worked. A LOT! I'm really behind on my articles, and I have a lot of unanswered emails for my web design company. It's so much work to do 2 jobs, but it's totally worth it because we need the money with 6 kids! This morning Danny's family came by to say goodbye, they are flying back to PA! And like I mentioned, Samantha and John went along and left the babies at the hospital. It was really sad goodbye, but I know I'll see them at Christmas, but hopefully before! So that has been our week so far, comment if you want to know more about my life as a mommy to 6 :) <3

Sundae Sunday

Hey everyone! It's Sunday, and today was a great day! We woke up and got ready for church, but Adri and I didn't go! I'm not planning on taking her anywhere major until she's a least a month old, maybe 2. Little newborns and just so fragile and not exempt to lots of things, and I don't want to take any chances! But, Danny went along and said everyone was asking about me and the baby, so Danny showed them pictures. I'm so lucky to have a great, nice church family like this! So, my sister Linsdsey, her kids, my brother Paul, his kids, my parents, and my grandpartents came to our house for the afternoon! It was great, we ordered lunch from Java Jungle, which is a cute local restaurant/cafe that has fantabulous food! My whole family loves it, there is one in Washington too :) We had a great afternoon with a lot of family fun, since they all leave tomorrow morning :( They are actually all taking a bus, which is quite crazy! It is about 20 hours from LA to Olympia, Washinton, where they all live, and where I grew up. The bus leaves at 10:00am and they will reach Olympia Washington, at 10:00am the next day! It is longer than the 20 hours because they stop every 3 hours for restrooms, and the reststops have food for meals! I'm sure it will be quite an adventure, with 8 adults and 5 kids! And, of course, the other passangers on the bus. They did reserve seats, though, so they all are sure to get on and sit together! Well, back to our day. We all went out for ice-cream sundaes at a local icecream place that coincidentally, is where Black will start work next week! Adri did come along on this journey, because it wasn't that far and I obviously didn't want to leave her home alone! Everyone went back to their hotel rooms to get organized and packed up and have dinner and all around 4. Like I mentioned in an earlier post, for the next month or so people are bringing us dinners, so that's dinner for tonight! I have no idea who/what it will be, but it will definitely be good :)

Our Day (and random topics)

Hey everyone! :) Our day today was really good! Danny is still off work, so this morning we painted Adri's bedroom! The walls were just plain white, it was Tristan's room. Now the wales are a pale pink, how pretty. In our home, most kids have their own room! Brielle's room is purple with blue and pink swirls on one wall, Blake's is red with blue stripes on the bottom half of all the walls, and Ryan's is blue with lots of sports designs randomly! Colton and Tristan now share a room, because Tristan's room is now Adri's! So the wall in there are just plain green. Well, back to our day! The kids didn't have anything planned, because I knew it would be pretty hectic with Adri and since she is just home from the hospital yesterday! So I made a light lunch of soup and sandwiches  and then took everyone to the park! Since it was really hot today, Brielle stayed home with Adri because I didn't want her exposed to the heat just yet, she is only 4 days old! Blake really didn't want to come along, but I wanted him to get out of the house and get some air! But luckily one of his friends happened to be there with his little siblings, so that turned out great! Ryan, Colton, and Tristan had a lot of fun together running and just being little boys :) When we got home the boys got their showers, because they were sweaty from the hot day and all. In case you were wondering, we have 5 bathrooms! Danny and I have one, Brielle has one, Blake has one, and then there are 2 others just in the house! So that's great for our big family :) And while I had some quality time with Adri after not seeing her for about 2 hours (the longest it has been yet!) everyone else was just chilling, getting ready to go to my sister Lindsey's house for a bit family dinner! We left at 5 to get there at 6 in time for dinner, and had a great time! We just got back now, at 9. I wanted to adress another topic today on this post, since it's pretty short! A lot of you have been asking if all I do is write articles for the Madison Magazine, and the answer is a no! I also do web design for over 100 companies! It's a lot of work, I usually dedicate time to my articles during the day and address my web design emails and work on all of that in the evenings after the little ones are in bed! Doing 2 jobs does take a lot of time and energy out of me, but the money is worth it especially with the new baby! I'm really happy with my life, and definitely wouldn't change a thing :)

Pets and Potty Training!

Hey everyone! :) I've been getting a lot of requests from you guys about what I should post about, and I had some extra time tonight after the little ones are asleep (Adri finally went to sleep early!!) so I thought I'd pick 2 topics to address! So, since we have many kids, we do have many pets also! When Brielle was my only kid, we lived in Michigan! In Michigan we had 2 pets, a dog and a cat! The dog's name was Pancake and the cat was Kermit the Frog. Don't ask why, Brielle named it! ;) But then when I was pregnant with Blake we moved to West Virginia, and we decided to leave the animals behind because it would be hard to bring them along! So, we gave them to my good friend in Michigan, Bailey, and she still has them! And then we lived in West Virginia until Ryan was 2. There, we had 3 pets, a bunny, and frog, and a puppy! The bunny was Fluffy, and frog was Kelly, and the baby puppy was Sammy! We also had 5 fish, Mr. Chubby, Mrs. Chubby, Baby Chubby, Miss Chubby, and Lollipop! And then when Ryan was 2, like I said, we moved to LA, where we currently reside! I know it sounds like we move half way across the country all of the time, but it is just because of Danny's work! When we moved this time, we brought Sammy along with us! Sammy passed away a few years ago though, he got hit by a car :( It was sad, Colton, Tristan, and Adri never got to see her! But, when Colton was born we got another dog, this one's name was Coral. She is a sweetie, and we still have her! She is 5 years old. And we also have a bunny, Blacky, and 7 fish, Sally, Mr. Silly, Chubby Jr., Happy, Love, Peace, and Smile! I know, odd names, but the little boys named them :) Colton feeds them every morning! Coral is all of ours, but the bunny is Brielle's. She loves little Blacky! <3 So, those are our pets, though Tristan really wants a kitty so who knows! ;) Now onto potty training. Out of all my kids, Brielle was the easiest to potty train  She thought the toilet was magical, how it flushed away all pee and poop, and she was so excited to use it! I had her going on the toilet by age 2, which I expected with Blake! That was not a good idea. I had Blake try and use it so young, he didn't want to! And then, he fell in. It wasn't terrible, when he was sitting down he let go of the counter next to the toilet and his butt fell in! I grabbed him, though, so he was only down for a few seconds, but it really scared him! He wasn't fully potty trained until he was 5. He would go in the little potty we had, but wouldn't use the big one at all! Ryan was pretty simple too, he had the normal qualms about falling in and such, but he was potty trained by 3, which I think is great! He had trouble pooping on the potty, though, so he would usually put on a diaper to poop, which he did until he was 4. While I was potty training Colton, he was just like Brielle, fascinated! He wanted to go all of the time, and sometimes just went into the bathroom to sit on the toilet when he didn't even have to go! So he was potty trained by 2! Tristan, on the other hand, is still learning! He will go, if you ask him to, but he won't tell you! So he usually just goes in his pull-up, unless I remind him every few hours! I need to teach him to go himself, too, I have to help ;) So I hope you enjoyed reading about our pets and potty training, always feel free to leave more requests below!

Life with the New Baby!

Hey everyone! :) My life is so different now with Aria in my life! Yesterday I was let out of the hospital with Aria at 9am! It was great, because we had the whole day to get adjusted. My family and Danny's family were kind and left us alone for most of the day, just to get settled with the baby and get her room all set! My mom and dad were with us all day, just helping out with the kids and all since it is pretty crazy! Danny has taken off work ever since the baby was born, just to help me out, but he has to go back Monday which will be tough, because that's when my mom leaves! But, my sister Lindsey (who lives an hour away) will be coming down every day next week for the day, until Danny gets home in the evening! It will be such a big help to me, because I need to get used to a newborn and Aria needs to get settled into a normal schedule and such. Also, I signed up Tristan and Colton for a 9am-12 noon soccer team/group, it's just for the week though! It's for 2-5, just basic skills and such since Colton will start soccer soon and I just need Tristan to get out of the house for awhile, because he is always bored and hangs on me! But Brielle works all next week, and Blake starts his new job 3 days a week, so mostly it will be just Ryan, Aria, Linsey, and myself. I hope for next week to just be a relaxing week where I get the house cleaned and organized from being in the hospital, and have some quality time with my sister and my baby. It should be good! :) comment if you guys want more posts <3

Ryan and his Sports

Next in my children series is 9 year old Ryan! Ryan has had an almost perfect life, he hasn't had any major illness's or anything like that! The worst times in his life have been when he hasn't been accepted into a sports team or something like that. He was on his first sports team when he was 4, it was Pee-Wee soccer! Danny practically forced him, he really wanted his son to like sports! Ryan did not want to go to the first practice, he was afraid he wouldn't be good enough! But, since his daddy was his coach, he absolutely loved it!! He has begged me to let him play all sports immaginable ever since! He has played, soccer, baseball, and basketball ever since he was 4, and never once complained about anything! I love how he is always active and has a lot of energy and willingess to do anything! He has been a pretty easy child, always doing what he's told and never being too crazy. Danny keeps telling me its because he is always super active, and gets all of his energy out in good things, like sports! His theory will be tested out when Colton starts sports ;) That's pretty much all there is to talk about Colton, please comment below with more post ideas! <3

Update

Hey everyone! Aria is 2 days old today, and she is doing great! Couldn't be any better :) Yesterday and today have been great days! Yesterday, as I said before, my dad and grandparents flew in from Washington, and stay until Monday! We had so much fun yesterday morning, they brought me lunch (it was great not having to eat hospital food!) and had a good chat. They were at their hotel for the afternoon then, because my brother, sister, and all their kids were coming to visit! And, as you know, there is a limit for visitors in a hospital room. So, we had a great time, my kids were there too so they were glad to see their cousins! My younger brother, Paul, and his wife Darla live in Washington, near my parents! They have 3 kids, 13 year old Amy, 9 year old Damien, and 5 year old Sarah! My youngest sister, Lindsey, and her husband Bill, live about an hour away from us, outside of LA. They have 2 kids, 15 year old Kayla and 12 year old Christy. I'm not sure if I mentioned we are all having a family dinner Saturday night at Lindsey's house, after I'm out of the hospital! I also do have another sister, but she's 5 years older than me and lives with her family in Iraq, serving as missionaries. We haven't seen her in 15 years, and don't even know about her husband and family. She emails us updates once in a while, and she has gotten married and had 6 children. We all miss her so much, but we don't know if she misses us <3 So today, Thursday, has been great too! This morning Danny's family flew in from Pennsylvania and were with us all morning! His parents are Bob and Mildred, and he has 4 siblings, Brittany, Samantha, Jeremy, and Austin. Danny is oldest, and then comes Austin. Austin is married to Trish and they have 3 kids, 16 year old Alki, 14 year old Niko, and 6 year old Gabe. Then comes Jeremy, he is married to Morgan and they have 1 kid, 10 year old Elizabeth. Morgan is currently pregnant with twins and is due in 3 months, though! Brittany is married to Al, and they have 2 kids, 3 year old Rick and 4 year old Samuel. And then Samantha just recently got married to John and is pregnant with triplets, 2 boys and a girl, and is due next Friday! It's a risk for her to take this trip, but her doctor said she was physically doing great, and contacted a doctor down here to check up on her next week. They leave Thursday, so hopefully she has her babies when she gets back! Well, back to my day. After they all left to go back to my hotel, a big group of my friends came by with lots of baby gifts for Aria! Let's just say, she won't be needing anymore clothes for awhile! If you want more updates about my life with a new baby, comment below :)

My Family

You guys wanted to see pictures, you here they are! :) I'm also going to be quickly describing everyone to you

This is me, Brooklyn! I have naturally curly hair, but for this family photo shoot back in May I straightened my hair :) I write articles for the Madison Magazine in my at-home office. I enjoy writing, reading, and spending time with my husband and children!

This is my husband, Daniel! Danny works for MTV and is the Los Angeles Dodger's manager! He is gone a lot of the time, but he loves his job and it pays well, so that's what counts! Danny enjoys sports, coaching his kids sports teams, and spending time with the family. 

This is my 15 year old daughter, Brielle! Brielle turns 16 this fall, and on her 16th birthday we are taking her to get her permit, and then 6 months later she will, hopefully, be taking her driver's license! Brielle enjoys her labtop and iphone, hanging out with her friends, and dating! She has had a few dates this past school year (her freshman year) but just recently gotten her first boyfriend! His name is David and they spend a lot of time together :) Brielle also has a a full-time job at CVS Pharmacy, and works every other Saturday and Sunday at a local grocery store. She also babysits a few evenings a week for me, and other people! It may seem like a lot of jobs, but she is saving up for a car! Brielle has always wanted to model, and this fall she is going to start working at Hollister, and hopefully modeling. But who knows! :)

This is my 13 year old son, Blake! Blake enjoys making trouble around the house, but is very intelligent and does well in school. He is getting his first job, at a local ice cream shop, and it starts this Monday! It is 3 days a week and pays well :) 

This is Ryan, my 9 year old son! Ryan enjoy watching sports with Danny and playing on his sports teams! In the summer (now) and fall, he does travel soccer. In the winter he plays basketball, and in the spring he plays travel baseball! A lot of running around for Danny and I, but Ryan just loves it! 

This is my 4 year old son, Colton! Colton is our most energetic kid, but he is certaintly also the most fun! He is really sweet and loves school, but mostly because his teacher really likes him and he has a lot of fun at play time and all! In the summer Colton is signed up for Pee-Wee soccer, and he thinks it is so fun! And next spring he is old enough to play Tee-Ball, which he is very excited for! :)

This is my little 2 year old boy, Tristan! Tristan is a mommy's boy, he loves being around me and reading stories with me. He is really sweet, but a little shy around people he doesn't know! There isn't much to say about him, since he's so little, but he is friendly with his family and loves to play :)

Our littlest baby is my daughter, Aria! She is 2 days old, but such a good baby! She's only cried once, and she loves to be held. She loves watching my hair move back and forth, and tried to grab my curls a few times! She absolutely adores her big sister Brielle, she acts esspecially sweet just for her! I'm sure we will have a lot of fun and cute moments with Aria as she grows up <3 

In Sickness and in Health

Hey everyone! :) I've gotten some requests to talk about my kids when they are sick and how I deal with it all! I have different systems for the older and younger kids, because they all have different personalities. When Brielle is sick, she stays home from school and usually just lays in bed all day on her labtop/iphone. If she has the stomach bug or something stomach related, I will usually give her toast and gatorade, but if she just has a fever or a cold I will make her soup. When Blake is sick, he doesn't like to be bothered with! He will just sleep in bed all day, and wake up magically all better! I will usually wake him up for lunch and a few times to give him food and drink, but other than that I just leave him be! He is one of those kids who gets sick a lot, but when he does it's only for a day or so. Ryan, or the other hand, gets sick all of the time! And when he's sick, he's majorly sick. When the older ones are sick, I don't usually take them to the doctor, unless they are out for 4 days. But with Ryan he always seems to get a bad cold and along with it comes a cough! He is sick in bed for a week or more, with visits to the doctor multiple times to make sure he's okay. And he's not the best guy to be sick! Ryan complains a lot about missing his sports games/practices, and just complains about being sick in general! He doesn't like a lot of food, so it's hard to get him to eat things while sick, because he doesn't like soup or toast. Ryan will usually lay on the couch in the living room watching TV while I flutter in and out of the room, checking on him all of the time. But, compared to Colton and Tristan, Ryan is super simple! As all mothers with young kids know, toddlers sick is quite a big deal! They get colds all the time, so they are always stuffy and snotty because they can't blow their nose yet. When Colton is sick, he acts like he's not and is always fighting with me about doing things! I won't let my kids run around outside when sit, they can sit in a chair and read a book or color or something, but no running and doing crazy things, which is tough for Colton! He is always screaming and crying and takes up all my time whenever he is sick, and won't want to eat food! I practically have to force food down his throat. Tristan is a little easier, though. When he is sick, he just wants to cuddle on the couch with me and sleep on me! That's great for a little, but when I have to get up, that's when it breaks lose! He screams and cries and doesn't want to lay down by himself, so sometimes I just end up carrying him around the house, talking to him and singing to get him to sleep, and then after he's sleeping I put him to bed so I can get things done! When he wakes up he'll scream and cry again, but he gets over it! I'm so glad he's only like this when sick and grumpy, if he was always clingy that would be really tough for me! So the only other thing I'm going to address in this post is how I clean when my kids are sick. I try to keep my sick kids in one place, like keep them on one couch instead of switching back and forth. Brielle and Blake are easiest, the germs are in their room and as soon as they go back to school I disenfect their bedrooms and I'm pretty much done! But of course I will always disenfect the bathroom, and all of the doorknobs and just lightly clean the rest of the house, whever germs may lay. But with the little ones who can't sit still and do stuff everywhere, I do a major house clean! I wipe down everything in the kitchen, living room, bathroom, playroom, their room, doorknobs, and pretty much everywhere I can, in hope that germs will not come back! So I hope you guys enjoyed this post, please comment requests for future posts! :)

Blake's Accident

Hey everyone! I'm going to continue the series I began, about my wonderful children! Next up is 13 year old Blake. Well, when Blake was born he had slight heart damage, and he had surgery when he was only hours old. It was an awful time for me, I didn't see him until he was a day old! And I couldn't hold him until he was 3 days old, because he had to be connected to oxygen and I wasn't aloud to lift him or touch him until he was off it. But, Blake had a great first few years, healthy as a horse! But when he was 5, he was in a severe accident. I was actually in it too, but I had no lasting damage. We were driving on a main highway when another car rammed into the right side of the car, which was where Blake was sitting in the back! The car turned onto its side, but the air bag saved my life! I was fine, just a minor concussion and I was unconsious for a few hours, but Blake's conditions were much worse than mine! Blake had a major concussion, broke both legs, had slight brain damage, and was in a coma for a week! We were all afraid we would lose him, because the doctor's didn't see much hope. When he woke up from the coma he was quite afraid and hyperventilated many times because he had no memory of who he was or anything. He could talk and knew factual information like numbers and colors and such, but didn't know who we were or who he was! After 2 weeks of this, he finally regained all of his memory! It was such a happy time for us all, we were afraid he would be like that forever! After staying in the hospital for a few months, Blake was released home, good as new! That was a very traumatic time in our lives, I almost lost a child, which was terrible for me. But I am just so thankful that Blake is here with us today! <3 :)

Plans for the Week

Hey everyone! :) Aria is doing great, all tests have been run and all came out positive! So happy that my baby girl is perfectly healthy <3 After she was born, I emailed all of my family and friends, and almost all got back to me! So tomorrow morning my dad and grandparents are flying in to see Aria, and they will get to the hospital at around 10:00am, after I'm awake and Aria is fed! They will be here, in a hotel, until Monday, which is great! Danny is taking off work, and will be staying with me all day!Brielle will be home with the little ones, and so will my mom! And then tomorrow afternoon my brother, sister, and all their kids are coming in to meet Aria! They are also staying at a hotel, and we are having a family dinner Saturday night, after I'm out of the hospital, at my sister's house an hour away. And then on Thursday Danny's family is flying in! They all live in Pennsylvania, and since we live in LA we don't get to see them that often! They are here until next Thursday, which is a treat! :) Thursday a group of my friends are coming by to see me and Aria, which should be fun! And then Friday morning, I'm going home from the hospital! I can't wait! And for the next month, my friends, family, and church group are bringing meals for dinner! I'm so thankful I have so many great people in my life here to support me! And then this weekend should be pretty calm, just adjusting to life with a baby in the house and enjoying being with my friends and family!
My next post will be a Q&A so please be sure to leave questions below! :)

Big News!

Hey everyone! I have big news! I had my baby!! It's crazy, isn't it? I was at home, it was around 2:30pm, I was just chilling out on the couch with Brielle, talking. Ryan was at sports practice with Danny, Blake was at a friends, and Colton and Tristan were napping. And then, my water broke! I practically freaked out, just ask Brielle! Brielle was a pro, first called 911 because this was quite serious as my baby was breech, and then after an ambulence was on its way, she called Danny and told him to meet me at the hospital! My mom was already on a plane, so there was nothing we could do there. Brielle got my hospital bag ready and the essentials for the baby while I lay on the couch, deep breathing. The ambulence arrived in a matter of minutes, and the siren woke up my boys. Brielle went to their room to calm them, while the ambulence took me to the hospital. When I got to the hospital, Danny was already there! He just let Ryan keep playing and another player would be taking me home. Luckely, the soccer field was only 2 miles from the hospital! Then I was rushed into the surgery room, where they made sure my baby was still breech before performing a C-section. But, something funny happened ... my baby wasn't breech anymore! So they sent me to the delivery room, where I delivered my baby within minutes. That's how its always been for me, a quick but very painful labor. My baby was born at 3:30pm, July 9th, 2013. Oh, did I forget to mention? It's a girl!! I'm so happy, and so is Brielle. Her name is ... Adriana Olivia Davis! We will call her Adri or Adria :) Danny and I love our baby girl so much and are so happy to finally have her here with us! <3 We love you Adri! So after Brielle and Blake made dinner for the kids, my mom's plane landed and she drove the kids to the hospital so they all could meet baby Adri! They were so excited, Tristan especially. He couldn't wait to be a big brother! They all had a great time with Adri, she was all happy and giggly just for them. She already loves her big bothers and sister! Brielle is so happy so finally have a little sister, she can't wait to babysit Adri! I'm sure Adri's childhood will be a good one, and I'm just so happy she arrived safely and happily :) <3

Pregnancy with my 6th Baby

Hey everyone!! Pregnancy with my 6th and final child had a pretty rough start, but a (hopefully) happy ending! We found out I was pregnant on November 5th, when I was a month pregnant. We went to the doctors the next day we were so excited! Terribly, our doctor told me that my baby might have slight brain damage, because its brain wasn't at the right developing point for its age. I was devastated, and slipped into depression again. I got on pills immediently, and had many appointments with my doctor for my baby. A few weeks later I got the clear that its brain was okay!! He/she was just a slow developer. What a relief to me :) During my second trimester I did struggle with severe morning sickness. I would throw up all throughout the day and wasn't able to eat much. I tried as hard as I could to keep up with the kids and household duties, but I just couldn't so my mom came in from Washington to help me out and boy was that a relief! The rest of my pregnancy went smoothly, only a hint of morning sickness in the 3rd trimester. I feel great now, other than the fact that my baby is breech. I was at the doctor's earlier today, and we scheduled a C-section for this Friday. My mom is coming down from Washington tonight to be with me and the kids, and that I'm super excited about! I miss her so much <3 I'm really scared for a C-section, but there really wasn't any other option. I didn't want to try methods to manipulate my baby or anything. I'm a big believer in what's meant to be will happen, and I guess this is what's meant to happen! I'm just glad it is going to be a scheduled, relaxed C-section instead of an emergency C-section when I go into labor while breech or anything. Wish me luck! :)

Brielle's Teenage Troubles

Brielle has had a rough childhood, not to mention her teenage years! I've gotten some requsets to talk about my kids, so I'm starting from the oldest down :)
When Brielle first went to school, she was 5, in kindergarten. She had majorly curly hair, like me, and it was always frizzy. It was long, down to her waist. The boys at school would tease her and call her pouf ball, and tell her she was ugly and would die alone with 15 cats. She would come home from school crying, and it was really tough on my as a mother, seeing my baby girl deal with bullying and knowing there was nothing I could do about it! Well we got her hair cut to her shoulders, and she started taking a bath and washing her hair in the morning instead of the evening, which I was fine with. Going to school with damp, short hair, it looked better to her, but I thought she looked great either way! But the boys at school still teased her, saying she was trying to look pretty but it wasn't working. I had many conversations with the principal, and Brielle's teacher had talks with the class about bullying, and even though she didn't mention Brielle, the kids teased her that she was getting special treatment and all that. Well, first grade rolled around and we had moved over the summer, which wasn't an issue for Brielle considering she didn't have many friends anyway. Elementary school were great for her, she made a lot of friends and it was a good time in life for her! But then it was Middle school. Everyone knows how Middle school is filled with drama. Well for Brielle she was bullied, again. She had moved schools because Elementary and Middle school were in different schools, and Middle school was a lot bigger than elementary school, with new kids from different elementary schools than Brielle. She wasn't in any classes with her friends, and that alone was hard for her. She was bullied about her looks, mostly her hair and her weight. Brielle is built bigger, but she is not overweight at all, she is perfect. But kids these days were mean and we couldn't do anything about it. So Brielle started straightening her hair and working out. I didn't mind about the hair, but I didn't like how she was so insecure about her body all because of some mean kids. But I let her go on with it, because she was looking happier. But then she started to stop eating at meals, and by 8th grade Brielle was still dealing with bullying, but she had become anorexic. We put her on medication and forced her to eat, but she still lost a lot of weight. But near the end of her Middle school years she made a few new friends who supported her and she started to become healthy again. She started off High school happy. High school has been a great time for Brielle, she has gained weight and is back to healthiness, and she is meeting a lot of new people and isn't bullied anymore. She will begin her sophmore year this fall, she is 15! I'm so glad things have turned around for Brielle, and that she is finally happy! It was so hard to watch my daughter to go through these experiences, but she is a better person from it :)

Dealing with Miscarriages

As you all know, before Colton was born and after Ryan was born, in the period of 5 years I had 6 miscarraiges. A year after Ryan was born Danny and I began trying to have more babies, and after 3 months, we were sucessful! I was pregnant, and at 15 weeks we found out it was a girl! We were all so excited, I had been hoping for another girl! But then at 16 weeks I suffered from a miscarraige. My doctor said I had done nothing to cause this, it was just the baby's heart was not developed properly so she could not live. Danny and I were devastated. Brielle, Blake, and Colton were all upset as well, they really wanted another sibling! I was depressed for just over a week, I stayed in bed all day and only got up to use the bathroom. My mother came down from Washington to stay with me and help take care of the kids, because I basically did nothing. Danny took me to the doctor after 9 days, and I was on depression pills and it really helped and I got back into my normal swing of life! I would still cry late at night and had trouble sleeping, but it gradually got better. After a few months I became pregnant again! I was happy, but didn't let myself get my hopes up incase of another misarraige. It was good of me to do that, because it really helped when we found out we lost the baby at only 6 weeks. We didn't even tell the kids about this one, just Danny and my mom new. Well, Danny and I were getting really impatient, we wanted more kids so badly! So as soon as my body was recovered, we tried many times and I became pregnant with another baby! This one we lost at 6 weeks also, but the kids knew about this one. I was depressed once again, losing 3 babies is quite hard on you emotionally and physically. I was in the hospital for a few days, on medication again but I recovered quickly! A few months later I was pregnant again, and it was another girl! I was thrilled, and quite convinced that since the baby had lived to 20 weeks, she would be fine. How wrong I was. I carried her full term, but it ended up being a stillbirth. I was devastated, and was hospitalized for a week. I was on medication, it took me longer to recover but I did! Then, when I was pregnant again, I was doing good! Right when I found out I was pregnant (4 weeks) we went to the doctor the next day, and he said the baby was not forming correctly and he suggested an abortion because there was only a 20% change the baby would make it full term, and then a 10% chance that it would be living. Danny and I decided not to take that risk, and we had an abortion. It was one of the most hardest things to do in my life, killing one of my babies. I still hate to think about it. But then, after a few months, I was pregnant! We found out the gender of the baby, it was a boy, and we were so happy! I carried full-term and had baby Colton! We were all thrilled to finally have another baby! Since then, I have had one other baby, Tristan, and am currently pregnant! I feel great, just like I did with Colton, which is a very good sign. I'm just hoping things go well! :)
