Health!

Or lack there of. We will start oldest to youngest.

Matthew: He is always going strong but like 2 weeks ago he had this nasty cold that hung on for a while but he is better now. 

Sheri: We had a miscarriage in the middle of April. We will come back to that in a sec.

When I went to the doc, the nurse had me stand on the scale and I kinda rolled my eyes and said "this is the worst part.." and laughed. The nurse goes "Oh please, you are so skinny." Then I got on the scale and the nurse goes "Oh you dont look like you weight that much." Oooch! Really lady, thanks alot! 

Ok so back to the miscarriage: Dont worry, we were sad but ok about the whole situation. The babe would have been due in Oct, and 3 kids under the age of three (Dexter turns 3 Nov.17) was not really in our plan...We found out I was pregnant (shocker) and decided not to tell anyone or do anything till we had some kind of plan... We figured I was about 10 weeks along but it was so crazy bc I never felt pregnant at all, no sickness not headaches (which both pregnancies b4 were full of) I had some minor bleeding but had much worse when I was pregnant with Quade, so I was not sure if I was miscarrying or not. I made a Dr. appointment and when we went in, we both kind of knew what was happening. I was 10 weeks along, but the baby died at 7. I never felt pregnant and we didnt have an ultrasound or anything so I kinda dont feel like it really happen. But i will tell you the recovery is pretty rough. No one really tells you that part...
Well ever since the whole process, I have had blood pressure/ anemia stuff going on. I think things are finally getting straightened out but it has been a crazy few weeks. I go in on monday to get a Implanon in my arm. Weird right? I am actually really excited about it and done all my research, it is supposed to be better then an IUD and more effective then any other form.  Not saying that we have not loved and cherished these blessed surprises, I would NEVER change a thing, but we are hoping to plan one... But I am here to tell you, the Lord has a plan, I just wish I knew what it was so I can plan :) We will see, since pills, breastfeeding and pills, and nuva ring, does not work, maybe this one will. is good for 3 years and my doc friends recommend it so here we go. 

Dexter and Quade: The boys got Hand, Foot, Mouth. It is awful! Fever, barfing and these nasty blisters. Like I am talking open sores! Yikes! Dexter got it from open gym. He got a fever and them projectile puked in the front yard (so glad it was not in the house or car) Then after 2 days of that these blisters came up on his legs, then all over his feet, he got a few in his mouth and on his hands but they didnt seem to bother him to bad. Dex's case was actually not that bad compared to Quade's. Poor little Quade caught it from Dex a few days after. He didnt puke but he has the worst blisters! They are everywhere all over his arms, legs, hands, feet, back, mouth. Oh man, we feel so bad for him! He refuses to walk on his feet bc they hurt so bad.

Poor sick boys.



Poor boys! Hopefully everyone will be healthy and strong SOON!

Sorry to hear everyone's been sick! And so sad about the miscarriage, but you guys have the right attitude about it. Everything happens for a reason, right? My friend has Implanon and she likes it. I'm considering it after this baby (I need a break!) so you'll have to let me know what you think.

Wow- sounds awful. Hand, Foot and Mouth is one thing we have somehow avoided so far- knock on wood! Hope everyone is better soon. We were sad to hear about your miscarriage too. I have heard that it is very painful. Hope you can get your body back to normal soon and have a little break from pregnancies :)
