Issues w/ Baby = less blogging

I try to keep this blog going with fun crafts/eats for mommy and kids and family....
But complications w/ baby--may slow this down a bit- so please be patient with me- and I'll post some fun stuff again shortly;) I have a 1/2 dozen -1/2 finished projects....in the works!
Today we found out that our little baby has some serious issues that can only be corrected with surgery after he is born. He is also very large - 7 lbs. - when he should only be about 4lbs! (We won't talk about my weight right here-but it is through the roof.) I don't have gestational diabetes-but of course they would like to test me for a third time. We have another appt. w/ the specialist in a few weeks and will have a better idea of what is happening then.
The short of it is, this baby could be coming in about a month or sooner, and most likely will need all of our love and attention for a while :) In the meantime, I am a little bit emotional. No one likes to find out something is wrong with their baby. I dealt with some scary things with both my sons when they were born-- and they are healthy now with a few minor things- so I thought maybe those days were over. :) But here we go....yet again. :) I guess that is what comes with having kids, right?
So if it looks like I am on a blog hiatus, that is why. I will still try to post- as much as I can until the little guy gets here :)

Oh, Sharla. I almost stopped reading after just one or two posts, but I am so glad that I didn't. I just haven't been on so I didn't know. Please let me help with the boys or anything else you need. With school being out and things really slowing down I really can help however you need it!
