So, here I am...

So, I have been thinking of doing this blog for about two years now.  If you know me it's not that I am a procrastinator, just me as an actual person, and my personal list of "to do's" gets thrown to the back burner frequently (as most mommy's do)!  So, me actually doing this blog is quite the accomplishment for me.  Just writing these couple of sentences is exhilarating!!

For informational purposes, let me introduce myself.  I will not be using my real name as there are crazies out there and I am a little freaked out by the cyber world. There will probably not be a time in this blog where I will actually have to use my own name so let's not even worry about that for now!

Let me introduce those who you will be hearing about the most.  S, is my son, he is five years old.  He is an amazing little boy.  He is a very smart, funny and stubborn little guy.  He loves all things music and bathroom humor!  He makes me laugh all of the time with the funny way he interprets the world and spits it back out at us! God has changed my husband and I for the better through S.  I am convinced God gave him to us as a many faceted gift!  Words can not describe my love for him. He is so silly and he helps remind me that life doesn't have to be so serious all of the time.  He loves his sister so very much and is very protective of her. I see in him the love God gives us for one another in its purest form. He was diagnosed with PDD-NOS (high functioning autism) about 1 1/2 years ago.  The knowledge of PDD has changed our lives for the better, and God has truly shown us that knowledge is power! More on all of that later.

C, is our daughter, who is seven months old.  She is a laid back, smilie and snuggly little girl.  Having C was a yearning in my heart from the time S was two years old.  When will be ready for C, when is the right time to pregnant with C?  These thoughts would go through my mind and haunt me. They would haunt me b/c I knew we weren't ready, but God knew just the right time.  I am quite the planner so not knowing my life's roadmap drives me nutso!  At the end of last summer, through much prayer and discussion, we decided we would try for Baby C.  I was blessed with being able to conceive Baby C relatively quickly, which is something I do not take for granted. By May of 2010. Baby C was born and our precious sweet pea joined our brood!

C is just what we needed to round out our fam.  Any other baby with any other temperament would just not work!  She hangs with us and our craziness so effortlessly it's amazing!  It is clear to me that God truly made her for us!  Thank you, Jesus!

C is also one of S's biggest fans!   I am loving this age difference and the ages of the two of them b/c they don't fight yet and C thinks her brother rocks (literally)!  He plays his guitar for her when she is sad and she stops crying!   It's great.

I have a lot of things I want to write about so I think I will make another post in case any of y'all are sick of reading this one.  Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy my journey!
