Please be Careful

I have felt that I needed to share this with everyone......Please keep your children close to you at all times. This past weekend Chad, the kids and myself all went to Dairy Queen for the Blizzard special, while we were there we saw one of Chad's co-workers that works in the Raleigh office and started talking to him. As we were talking to him an old man came and asked if the kids could go and see his dogs in his car-Oh the kids were so excited!! I said sure and off the kids went with this old man I did not know. As I thought about it Chad was already off to be with the kids, the dogs and the old man. I turned to his co-worker and said, "That man could have gone off with my children." He then told me his wife works for a housing community in Clayton where they have had a man driving around asking children and teenagers to get in his car (This has happened on several occasions). How scary is that. The community is not very far from where I live and can happen in any community.
I know it is so easy to let your children just run at the park, especially when you have more than one child you are trying to keep an eye on and they all want to do different things.
As I have been reflecting on this conversation with Chads co-worker it reminded me of an e-mail I received a couple months ago from one of Chad's sisters who lives in the area. Her and her family were shopping at a near by store and the children went and played in the play area they had in the store. She kept an eye on them and did not wander to far off. One time she went to check on the children she noticed a Man watching his children play (and particularly one of her children), she watched them closer as any mother or parent would do. They checked out and left the store when a man approached them in the Parking Lot and asked, "how old is your daughter" I think the man guessed. The held hands tightly got in the car and drove to the next store they needed to go to in the shopping center. They then saw the man at that store and in the parking lot. Everyone was safe, However this could have ended not so good if my Sister-in-law had not been intune and watching what was going on.
I know that this is not an up beat post but please be careful with those around us and we especially need to talk to our children. It is sad that we can not let our children play like we were able to or be out of sight for something might happen it only takes a second.
I know a lot of people have asked me if I needed help(I guess I look like I need it and I am struggling with three children. I often say no thanks for if I really do I let them carry the grocery's the diaper bag or something I can always replace. I cannot replace my children.
Not everyone is bad, but we do need to be careful with the most precious gift our Heavenly Father has given to us.

I just LOVE Western Wake in Cary. The Women's Pavilion is amazing. I really liked all of the nurses and the staff was extremely nice. Chad had to go and pick Kip and Sada up Weds. morning and bring them to the hospital and they stayed until about 8pm. WOW!!! that was a long day. They tore that hospital room up. It did not matter how dirty it was the nurses did not care they would sent someone to clean it up or Chad would just ask the cleaning lady for a broom and a couple times he cleaned up. As you can tell in the pictures I was kicked out of my bed pretty much the whole day on Weds. and when Chad and the kids came on Thurs. that was not nice. Since you were able to order as much food as you wanted I was able to get food for the kids as well as have the lunch/dinner Coach boxes, which had a hogie sandwich, macaroni salad and a cookie, so there was enough food for us all and when we needed a snack we just had to go down the hall and there was fresh fruit, sodas, crackers, and muffins pretty much all day. SO, you can guess Kip and Sada learned where this room was real fast, they love POP! They did not want to leave the hospital, this was a treat for them...yet it was very stressful to me. Chad left that night and I was by myself Spencer was Crying and would not stop and a CNA came in and I just broke down in tears. She said what is wrong. She said the wrong words. I told her my husband left me....okay not really left me (you should have seen her face) so I rephrased it to my husband left me here and went home with the kids, my child is crying I think I am starving him, I need sleep I do not know what to do, he lost his bands everything was wrong. The CNA says do you want me to take the baby to the Nursery? NO, I reply I cannot sleep when he is away because then I will just lie in be waiting for someone to bring him back to nurse so I do not get any sleep. The CNA calmed me down and reassured me I was doing okay and then we talked about Kip and Sada. The next morning Chad comes with the Kids we eat Breakfast and I am ready to check out so I do not have to deal with kids screaming up and down the hall of the hospital and just going crazy. They finally let us leave right before lunch was served. I think they do that purposely so you go home hungry. I was glad when we finally got home!!
Next baby hopefully my Mother will be retired and will be able to stay with them the whole time!!

Here I am getting ready to have Spencer Thanks Chad for taking my picture

I know everyone has been waiting to see pictures of Spencer, but I have been to sleep deprived to get on the computer and blog about him. Spencer was born March 30th at 3:33pm and weighed 6lb. 130z. measuring in at 20 1/4 in. long. We got to Western Wake a little after 6:00am checked in got back to the room. They started the potocin a little before 8:00am doctor broke my water about 8:30am had to have 2 epidurals about 10:30am (the first one would not thread) and then we were off. The doctor came in about noon and told me when I was ready to give him 6 min. and he would be there, at about 3:15 I told the nurse I was ready she checked and there was Spencer. She called Dr. Siedel and he was on his way. It took him 7 min. and then decided he was going to stop and talk to the nurses. Lindsey (the nurse ran out to get him) as I was yelling Dr. Siedel you better get in here NOW!!!
I pushed 3 times and Spencer was out. He came out screaming with the cord wrapped around his neck and body he can scream through anything I guess. After they gave him back to me and everyone was out of the room and he was still screaming I decided I was going to try to nurse him and of course like most boys latched on right away and has not wanted to stop since....this is why I am sleep deprived. He is so sweet and just adorable....I think I am a little bias one because he is mine and the other because he looks like Chad. We are so glad that he is here and is a wonderful addition to our Family.
WELCOME SPENCER WE LOVE YOU!!
