Cora's Blessing

Today Denver blessed Cora in church. It was a very beautiful blessing and she didnt make one peep...just lots of toots I guess :-) It ended up being a very nice day and of course...very emotional.

7+ lbs

Our LITTLE Cora has gotten so big!! she is almost 3 months old and is now 7 + lbs. I know thats not that big but she seems so big to us! She is starting to smile and be so much fun. Its funny because the last 4 years of trying to get her here and the pregnancy all seem like such a blur. Im so greatful for my girls.

I WILL survive!!!

Nellie had her first day of Kindergarten today and she did GREAT!! I did NOT!! I wore my "big" sunglasses so she would not see me cry. I was standing next to a lady watching the kids play on the play ground before school started and she asked me if I had a pen, all I said while crying is..."no but I have a kleenix" IM A DORK!!! I thought about her all day long and I boohoo'ed all day long but she did great and she loved it and cant wait to go back. Im sure tomorrow will be easier and I will be...OK...I also took Cora to the Doctor today for a check up, she is now 7 lbs!!! WOOHOO!!! but she got 3 shots...tonight is going to be a long night!!

School day blues......

Wow!! I am NOT looking forward to tomorrow!!! I havent been able to stop crying all day. everytime I think about Nellie being at school all day I loose it!!! You'd think Im never going to see her again, its crazy! Im sure she will have so much fun. She told me that she probably wouldnt ever want to come home again because she would have so much fun. I laughed...then she left the room and....I cryed. To bad I cant blame my emotions on pregnancy anymore. I dont like the thought of her being at ALL day kindergarten in a portable in the very back of the school. The bathroom is SOOOO far away from her classroom that her teacher told us to pack an extra pair of pants and panties. Im sure that in about 3 weeks I will be fine and she will be fine I just dred the thought of leaving her tomorrow and not being able to go into her classroom with her. I CANT let her see me cry. I AM SUCH A BOOB!!!!

Nellie and Cora

My little Nellie is now 5!!! she had a birthday on July 24th. She starts all day Kindergarten in 1 week and Im soooooo scared!!! Its a good thing I have Cora or I think Id sit in front of her school all day!!! I cant belive how old she is getting!!! I guess I should probably start growing up soon!!! Cora is 8 weeks old now and weighs almost 6 lbs. It sounds silly to say but...she seems so big!!! she has grown so fast. she isnt doing the things a 2 month old should do, she is just starting to act like a newborn. she will be behind 2 months until she is 2 years old. Its kinda fun because I have and extra 2 months to cuddle a newborn. She is doing great!!! I love being a mom!! I am soooo gratefull for my children and I feel so blessed to have both of them! Hopefully some day I'll have more! If not, then at least I know I have 2 miracle babies!!!!

7 random things about me...

Ive been tagged by Megan,

1. I have to sleep with a kleenix in my hand....I dont use it, just sleep with it (dont know why)

2. If I cut something in half (brownie, pizza, anything) and someone doesnt eat the other half...I have to, because I think it got split up from its family, and I feel bad for it Ü maybe thats why Im not skinny...hmmmm

3. I read this one on Suzzanes blog and had to laugh because I also do this and was NEVER going to tell anyone but...since she did...I can to Ü When Im in the bathroom, I always spit in the toilet...Dont know why, just have lots of spit I guess Ü GROSS!!!

4. When I wash my face, I have to rinse it off 9 times (OCD maybe???)

5. When my Cell phone rings...lots of times I just turn it off. Its easy to ignore calls on it (sorry If I ignore your call, dont take it personal)

6. When me and Nellie are alone, I like to play dolls and color

7. I hate motorcyles but I LOVE jet ski's!!!

Tag to my sister Wendi...now you have to set up a blog

Count your BLESSINGS

Today I had my 6 week check up after I had Cora. My Doctor came in and sat down next to me and said "Shelbi now that I know that everything is OK with you and Cora I want to tell you something" He said "your daughter is a MIRACLE baby!! he said that my delivery was one of the scariest deliveries that he has ever done. He said that on paper things didn't look that bad, but he had such a bad feeling about everything and said that he had such a strong feeling that he just needed to get the baby out. He told me that if he would not have delivered the baby that night, the next morning I would have delivered a still born...there were a few other things that he did that he said he never does but was so inspired that he needed to do them. He told me that Heavenly Father really wanted me to have this baby and it was him telling him the things he needed to do. He said that he didn't know if I would be able to have more children because he thinks the miscarriages and Cora's birth have something to do with each other, and if I was to get pregnant that it would be very high risk. After knowing all of that...I am SO GRATEFUL that I had him as a DR. he was so inspired to know what to do and I will FOREVER be grateful for him. I am also SO thank full to my Heavenly Father that he has blessed me with 2 beautiful girls, and that he inspired all the right people (Dr. Holmes and the nurse) to get Cora out. I had no idea that things were that scary. Honestly...I am so glad I did not know that until now!!!!

FLOOD!!!

I came home from taking Cora to the Dr yesterday and I walked into my room and I was standing in about 4 inches of water!! For some reason our toilet became posessed and decided to brake and leak ALL over the place. Our bathroom was flooded, our room was flooded, and part of our family room was flooded. GOOD thing we rent!!! They came over and fixed the toilet and cleaned up the water and sprayed some REALLY stinky mold spray so that we would not get mold. There are also big loud fans under our carpet now. It is not safe for Cora to be there so I had to pack me and the kids up to go stay at my moms. Denver had to be at work at 4am so he stayed at our place. It is suppose to take 48 hours to fix. I WANT TO GO HOME!!!!!

My family...

So...I thought Id give this Blog thing a try, Im probably going to do it wrong but...thats ok! I have been married for almost 6 years to Denver Whittaker and we have 2 little girls. Nellie is almost 5 years and Cora is almost 5 weeks. Nellie will be starting Kindergarten in Aug. and I can NOT belive it!!! I am really going to miss her!!! She will be in all day kidergarten and I dont know how I feel about that. She is such a funny girl and comes up with the funniest things!! She keeps me on my toes! Cora was born on June 9th, She was born 2 months early by emergency C-section due to some preeclampsia problems. She was 2lbs 9oz and 16 inces long. She was able to come home on July 3rd. She was not on oxygen and did not have any major problems. She came home weighing 3lbs 10oz. The NICU doctor told us that she is the smallest to ever leave. It is alot of fun having her home! We tried for 4 years to have another baby and had 4 misscariages during that time. I really feel blessed to have 2 beautifull girls!! I have to keep telling myself that at 3:00 in the morning when Cora is up and screeming, she has her days and nights mixed up. But she is worth all the sleepless nights!!!
