Introduction Time :)

I guess it would be best for me to start with a little introduction.

I have 25, a full time wife and mama. I have a sweet 18 month old girl (Cricket), and am currently 25 weeks (today) pregnant with a feisty boy (Little Man). My husband works full time, and goes to school at night.

I am going on my 6th week of fully restrictive bed rest. Due to preterm labor brought on by Placenta Previa, and a Placental Abruption, and a multitude of other complications, I have been required to stay down, and stay put for the duration. I have 9 weeks of bed rest and labor before it's "safe" for me to have Little Man via c-section. I have 15 weeks until my due date.

I am currently in my 9th week of preterm labor. I basically move from my bed to a futon made into a bed, and back to my bed again. Occasionally I cheat and make my husband take me to get an ice cream cone, or pick up my prescriptions so I don't lose my mind. This is where many of my adventures happen.

My first pregnancy was difficult, and we nearly lost our little girl during delivery. The year following her birth was an incredibly hard year health wise for me. In that year I underwent 5 surgeries, countless tests, and dr's appts, and was diagnosed with an incredibly rare form of cancer; which was treated with surgery and hormones. Having our first child was beyond a miracle, and we never dreamed of having a second, so we will take him anyway we can. From the very first day of this pregnancy everything seemed to go wrong. I was even told that I had lost the baby, and underwent more countless tests and ultrasounds. It's anything less than ideal, but we feel very blessed to be able to be parents to one child let alone two.

I have decided to start this blog for two reasons. First, to keep sane. Secondly, to help me remember the adventures I have had in bed.
