Starting out....

Since this is new I am learning as I go so bear with me. I am not good at this stuff so it will take me awhile. A little about me: I am 31 , mom of 7 wonderful blessings. My oldest Zak is going on 14 and has aspbergers austism. This affects his ability in the social area. He has a hard time with communicating properly, starting and maintining proper conversations and friendships, does not read social cues well and feels in adequate thus making up for it but being overly assertive. Second is my Madison who is will be 10 in november. She is a very smart little girl who is mature well beyond on her years. She is like a little mommy and without her and the bond that we share it would be difficult to get through the day. We then lost an angle boy named Brayden to a development defect at the3-4 month border of pregnancy. Next came Jackson, who is 6.5. He is such a miracle child. He was born with a congenital heart defect known as Shones( I think I spelled it right). This includes a co-archtation of the aorta or severe narrowing of the aortic vessel causing sever decreas in blood flow and oxygen to the lower part of the body and brain. He has mitral stenosis, Artierial Spetum Defect(Asd), bi-cuspid aortic valve, enlargment of his heart. This all cause Heart failure in the first days of his life along with kidney and liver failure. His outcome was grim and he had reconstructive surgery at 6 days old. Since then he has continued to defy and overcome ever obstacle finding the joy in every single day. His first surgery was a sucess and now we play the watch and wait game. We then lost another little angle baby at 10 weeks gestation. Kaelynn was our fourth little blessing and she is just as smart as Madison but much sassier. She has an attitude and not afriad to use it. But she also has a laugh that is contagious and a smie that will brighten the darkest room. Fifth is George who enetered this world backward, or tried to. That landed me with an emergency c-section and long recovery. To this day he pushes limits as far as possible. He certainly has no fear, what he does have is eyes that can get him out of the deepest trouble. He has such beautiful big blue eyes. Sixth was Harrison, Born VBAC, and he takes the brunt of the crap around here. He is a little social butterfly and loves to have fun.Wants to be invovled in everything even if it is a task too big for an adult to handle. Last but not least, Maverick. Born 7/12/09 via a very complicated labor and routine VBAC. He is such a snuggle baby and is growing fast. His smile has a way of showing up when I need a boost the most. He has not figured out that night is for sleeping but we're getting there.

With 7 kids our lives are crazy but we find tuime for each and every one of them. We have been blessed beyond our wildest dreams. Although we have struggled and will have struggles to come, we will prevail with the blessing of the Lord, our savior. With the Lord, will always be blessed with OurBIG HappyFAMILY!
