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!!!
